A Jewish store in Copenhagen had a window broken and an anti-Semitic slur scrawled on its walls in an act of vandalism that comes less than two months after the shooting dead of a guard outside a synagogue.
A police patrol discovered the damage at the Jewish delicatessen and kosher store at Lyngbyvej in Østerbro at 3.30am on Thursday, according to the Berlingske Tidende (BT) newspaper.
One of the shop's windows was partly broken and the word Jødesvin (Jewish pigs) was scrawled on a wall, BT reports.
After the Copenhagen shootings on February 14th, Danish police have kept a close eye on Jewish institutions and stores, including the delicatessen on Jagtvej.

(9,353 posts)how many attacks have there been on Muslim businesses in Denmark?
Keep hearing about attacks against Jewish places and cartoonists but nothing to indicate that Muslms are being targeted also.
Just curious.

(9,353 posts)It seems as though when a Jewish shop is vandalized everybody tut-tuts and says what a shame it is. What happens when a Moslem shop is vandalized? Has that ever happened in Denmark? Or, anyplace else for that matter?

(14,851 posts)Onto the tiny Jewish minority in Europe, as witnessed recently in France.
This type of antisemitism is often ignored or minimized.
Hence Israel's reason for being.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)That notion, of course, does not appear anywhere in the Zionist handbook. opposing antisemitism is contrary to the Zionist ideology.
By the by, Danish Jews don't seem in a big hurry to go anywhere.

A good place for you to start is with Jewish experts such as the ADL.
To say that Jews don't oppose antisemitism is both absurd and offensive.... The vast vast vast Majority of Jews being Zionists (and a few hundred non Zionist Jews most of whom post on DU)
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)No, I said the best way to deal with antisemitism is to oppose it. This is true for all forms of bigotry. All fleeing does is make the remaining people more vulnerable, and lessen voices speaking up to protect them.
Also, I remember citing the ADL's definition of antisemitism to you. You ran away from it, remember?
I said Zionism does not oppose antisemitism. You in fact proved this in your prior post. You see antisemtism and instead of speaking in opposition, you exploit it to boost for Israel.
Really, you not only think that there are only hundreds of non-zionist Jews, but also that they're all swarming over DU?
You've said a lot of strange things, but that one... Wow. That's fucking funny. And you were serious, too, that just makes it better
cali
(114,904 posts)that Zionists are against opposing anti-semitism? For that matter, there is no one Zionist ideology.

(14,851 posts)Because if that's what you mean Scootaloo, you are skating on very very thin ice and I missed it before Cali brought it up here.
Disgusting!
But Scootaloo has more filthy hate for us with this hateful gem :
(I googled it and looked at the sources https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=zionists%20assisted%20nazis)
You actually said that FILTH ?
Same as extremist right wing like David Duke claiming Zionist Jews assisted the nazis ???
Your crossing the line here and it's plainly beyond civil Scootaloo,
What a repugnant disgusting post of yours !!!

....in Europe, America, Denmark, etc. They advocate hard against it. Think ADL, Simon Wiesenthal Center, and the UK's very own Community Security Trust.
Do you not know this? I'm gobsmacked because it seems you don't.
The problem is their efforts aren't making much of a dent. Jews are pretty much on their own fighting anti-semitism. Just like 70 years ago. Antisemitism isn't just another form of bigotry. It's another beast altogether. Like 70 years ago, Jews weren't seen as victims. We were seen as owning banks, government, etc. Same as now. Jews still cannot be victims.
Thing is, fighting antisemitism should be a rallying cry for all sane non-Jews who claim to be anti-racist. It should mostly fall on non-Jews to oppose it. Just like anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, and Homophobia should be primarily opposed by non-Blacks, non-Muslims, and straight people who demand that all this bigotry ends.
Jews are and have been only a tiny part of any population. We need help from our non-Jewish friends and when we don't get that, and history proves it time and again, the only reliable option that exists is Israel.

(6,171 posts)I dont know about any businesses being attacked, but probably yes.
Danish people in general are very racist, and the local nationalist party (eg throw the foreigners out party), or the Danish Peoples Party, is the third biggest. Racism is mainstream in Denmark, a little bit like in Israel.
If youre from the middle-east or Africa, Denmark is the last country in Western Europe that you should consider moving to.
