Mark Steyn gives us a sad catalog of recent outrages:

In Toronto, anti-Israel demonstrators yell “You are the brothers of pigs!”, and a protester complains to his interviewer that “Hitler didn’t do a good job.”

In Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters sneer at Jews, “You need a big oven, that’s what you need!”

In Amsterdam, the crowd shouts, “Hamas, Hamas! Jews to the gas!”

In Paris, the state-owned TV network France-2 broadcasts film of dozens of dead Palestinians killed in an Israeli air raid on New Year’s Day. The channel subsequently admits that, in fact, the footage is not from January 1st 2009 but from 2005, and, while the corpses are certainly Palestinian, they were killed when a truck loaded with Hamas explosives detonated prematurely while leaving the Jabaliya refugee camp in another of those unfortunate work-related accidents to which Gaza is sadly prone. Conceding that the Palestinians supposedly killed by Israel were, alas, killed by Hamas, France-2 says the footage was broadcast “accidentally.”

In Toulouse, a synagogue is firebombed; in Bordeaux, two kosher butchers are attacked; at the Auber RER train station, a Jewish man is savagely assaulted by 20 youths taunting, “Palestine will kill the Jews;” in Villiers-le-Bel, a Jewish schoolgirl is brutally beaten by a gang jeering, “Jews must die.”

In Helsingborg, the congregation at a Swedish synagogue takes shelter as a window is broken and burning cloths thrown in; in Odense, principal Olav Nielsen announces that he will no longer admit Jewish children to the local school after a Dane of Lebanese extraction goes to the shopping mall and shoots two men working at the Dead Sea Products store; in Brussels, a Molotov cocktail is hurled at a Belgian synagogue; in Antwerp, lit rags are pushed through the mail flap of a Jewish home; and, across the Channel, “youths” attempt to burn the Brondesbury Park Synagogue.

In London, the police advise British Jews to review their security procedures because of potential revenge attacks.

As Steyn has pointed out elsewhere, if you think this is bad, just wait until Moslems make up 25% of the European population. At that point, European Jews will be lucky if they are only forced into Ghettos. My advice to European Jews: get out, now. Europe has lost the will to live and they will buy an extra decade of peace with your lives, if that proves necessary (and it will, if the Islamo-fascists have their way about it). The reason the EU is strangely silent about Hamas atrocities and eager with denunciations of Israel’s measured and proportionate response is because there are a lot more Moslems in Europe than there are Jews. Period. End of story.

This isn’t the return of the old anti-Semitism – not a return to the anti-Semitism which ranged from mere social inconvenience to Jews (such as, for most countries, an inability of Jews to join the Navy due to “dietary issues”) up to the pogroms of Czarist Russia. No, this is a return to the Hitlerian nightmare where the Jews are not just singled out as an enemy, but singled out as those who’s death will make for heaven on earth. Six decades after Europe said “never again!”, we’re on the verge of another Holocaust, and only the United States stands as a bulwark for the Jews of Europe and the Middle East against massacre.

There is a lesson to be taken here – that when a society cuts itself off from its wellsprings it will die via suicide and will become progressively nastier and greedier as it goes. Europe started to cut itself off from its Christian roots in the late 18th century and from that time until this, it has just gotten worse…more cruel, more base. Now the Europeans are so weak they can’t even murder on their own…but they are willing accomplices in Islamo-fascist murders of Jews. Standing in the crumbling Imperial box of Judeo-Christian civilization, the Europeans turn thumbs down to those already clawed by the lions…and they do this just to keep the lions busy and spare their own miserable lives for one more day.

Ultimately, the choice will be laid before us – to rescue the Jews, again, as well as those Europeans who have not fallen into the depths of depravity, or allow them to be murdered.

I do wonder what our choice will be?
