Commenting on the brutal murder of Ahmadi Scottish newsagent Asad Shah by other Muslims, after he posted an Easter goodwill message to his “beloved Christian nation” on Facebook, Mark Steyn observed that “You can have pluralism or Islam, but not both. Mr Shah thought he could have both, and so they killed him”.
Nations the breadth of Europe are fast discovering the grim truth of this observation. Once again, Jews are the canaries in the coalmine of intolerance. When Angela Merkel unilaterally threw wide the gates of Europe, millions of mostly Muslim opportunists flooded in. Now, the Jews are flooding out of Europe, fleeing for their lives.
For the first time in 70 years, a Jew cannot openly walk the streets of Berlin.
German police launched an investigation on Wednesday after a prominent Berlin rabbi said he was insulted and spat on while walking down a street in the German capital[…]
[…]Teichtal said he was walking home with his son after leading a service at a nearby synagogue when two men started cursing at him in Arabic and spat on him in front of his child.
Obviously far-right, neo-Nazi skinheads.
At least, that’s what the media and political class want you to believe. That’s not to deny that a depressing sub-stratum of disgusting anti-Semitism persists on the fringes of the right, but can the surge in anti-Semitism in Europe be sheeted home entirely, or even mostly to the right? In Britain, the mainstream left party is notorious for endemic anti-Semitism, while left-wing Antifa set on Jews in Germany and the US. Is it also more than a coincidence that anti-Semitism is erupting in Europe in direct correlation with mass Islamic immigration?
Anti-Semitic crime is on the rise in Germany, with officials figures showing the number of cases rose by almost 20% last year.

Last year, a man wearing the Star of David was beaten down and kicked right in the center of Berlin. Some weeks earlier, a similar incident in Germany’s capital caused public outrage and sparked a nationwide debate on anti-Semitism when a 19-year-old Syrian attacked an Arab-Israeli and his companion with a belt in broad daylight. Both victims wore yarmulkes in what was an allegedly anti-Semitic attack.
As Mark Steyn also noted, following the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the political-media class strive mightily to obscure the facts where they don’t suit the multi-cult narrative (that’s when they’re not actively lying, as they did in Cologne and Rotherham, et al). The Charlie Hebdo killers were described by the press as “French-born brothers”. When their accomplice stormed a kosher supermarket, Obama described it as “randomly shoot[ing] a bunch of folks”.
Some people did something, as it were.
Jews are fleeing France and Britain, so how bad is it in Germany?
The German government’s anti-Semitism commissioner on Saturday warned the country’s Jewish community to avoid donning yarmulkes, the traditional Jewish head coverings for males, in some public spaces due to a rise in anti-Semitic crimes.
A splendidly multi-cultural solution to violent intolerance: order the victims to slink in shame in the shadows, rather than punishing and expelling the perpetrators.
The number of attacks against Jews in Germany increased from 1,504 in 2017 to 1,646 in 2018 — a rise of 10%. The number of reported violent cases against Jews rose from 37 to 62 over the same period, according to official figures.
Justice Minister Katarina Barley told the Handelsblatt newspaper the increase was “shameful for our country” but added that the police were “vigilant.”
Well, we saw how vigilant modern, multiculturally-aware police were in Cologne, Rotherham, Telford, and so on. Jews, understandably, are less than convinced.
For those wearing the yarmulke, political reassurances aren’t enough. Sigmount Königsberg, the anti-Semitism commissioner of Berlin’s Jewish congregation, said he found Klein’s statement lacking.
“I would’ve expected him to add that he’ll do everything in his power to make sure Jews can wear their kippa everywhere in Germany and at all times of the day and night,” Königsberg told DW.
He hopes that Klein’s warning works as an alarm signal to society and that politicians will take action so that “Jewish people can openly wear their kippa in public.”

I wouldn’t advise him to hold his breath.
