(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)Last month the German commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany and the Fight Against Antisemitism used his impressively titled office to advise German Jews against wearing kipahs in public. The commissioners response to a surge of anti-Semitic violence in his country was a sheepish acknowledgment that Germany is once again a dangerous country in which to be a Jew. And as Germany goes, so goes Europe. For millennia, following the destruction of the Second Temple and the beginning of the diaspora, Europe was home to the majority of the worlds Jews. That chapter of history is over. The continent is fast becoming a land of Jewish ghost towns and graveyards where the few remaining Jews must either accept an embattled existence or else are preparing to leave.
In his earliest speeches Adolf Hitler made clear that his primary mission was to make Germany, and then all Europe, judenreinfree of Jews. He failed only because of the Allied victory but today, slowly, inexorably and, for the most part, legally, Europe is fulfilling the Nazi aspiration. It is not only in Germany but in England, France, Hungary and elsewhere across the continent, that the many forms of European anti-Semitismfar right, left-wing anti-imperialist, and Islamistare not only multiplying but moving closer toward controlling the official levers of power.
Progressives and the media prefer to blame anti-Semitism primarily on Europes deplorables, but the far right does not constitute the only, or even the primary threat, to European Jews. A detailed survey from the University of Oslo found that in Scandinavia, Germany, Britain, and France, most anti-Semitic violence comes from Muslims, including recent immigrants. Similarly a poll of European Jews found the majority of incidents of anti-Semitism came from either Muslims or from the left; barely 13% traced it to right-wingers. Violence against Jews is worst in places like the migrant dominated suburbs of Paris or Malmo in Sweden. Yet while one type of anti-Semitism festers in Malmo, in Germany several different varieties flourish as right-wing Holocaust deniers inch closer to the political establishment, Islamist attacks against Jews become more common, and a left-wing pro-BDS party gains power in the country.
Nor is the hollowing out of Europes Jews confined to one region or type of country. The rate of exodus differs in Russia compared to France, and the sources of insecurity in Belgium are not identical to those in England. But, taken together, the phenomenon of Jewish flight crosses borders and applies to Eastern and Central Europe as well as the countries of the West.
