Approx 50% Europeans question loyalty of Jews; More than 33% believe Jews have too power in business and finance

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

You read a post that says a large proportion of Europeans think the Jews control the banking industry (precisely the kind of thinking that led to the events that led to the Holocaust) and all you can do is rant and rave about Bush and Palestine?

Pathetic.

Who cares what eurapeons think anyway? Of course another eurapeon. Paranoid about jews taking over? WOW!

A survey of six European countries found an increase in negative attitudes toward Jews.

...

Approximately half the Europeans surveyed said Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their own country, and more than a third said Jews have too much power in business and finance. A majority of respondents in Austria, Hungary and Switzerland said they believe American Jews control U.S. policy on the Middle East.

“More than a decade after the fall of communism, we hoped that such anti-Jewish attitudes would have begun to diminish rather than increase,” ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said.

For the intelligent among you - you know who you are - if you want to read a really good piece about Jews, Arabs, Europeans, Americans, and the following issues:

• Why does the United States support the State of Israel?
• Why do Arabs reject the State of Israel? (sub-question: "Are Arab Leaders Crazy?")
• Why do Muslims hate Jews?
• Why do Muslims hate the United States?
• Why are the governments of the Middle East so unstable?
• Why are the Palestinians so violent?
• How have the Israelis survived for so long?
• Is there really a crisis?
• What can we, as average American citizens, do?

I happened to read it the other day and found it fairly enlightening.

Good luck!

I find it ironic that the thread just below this one is about conservatives trying to blame illegal immigrants for the credit crisis. Sounds like something Hitler might have suggested.

Indeed, some things never change -- in Europe or in America.

There are worrying developments in Europe, so this isn't entirely surprising. There's been a resurgence in the popularity of far right political parties over there, born in part out of resentment about European integration in the EU. We've already seen it in Switzerland and (more worringly) the Netherlands.

Austria had an election just recently - and two far right parties got 20% of the vote.
