So it didn't take long for the madness to start and the "victimhood" of one group over others, yet again, to be ramped up front and centre.
A prominent European Jewish organization is now calling on European leaders to allow European Jews to carry firearms, to protect themselves from all this anti-semitism we keep hearing about no doubt.
freebeacon.com...
One of Europe’s most prominent Jewish organizations is petitioning the European Union to pass new legislation that would permit Jewish community members to carry guns “for the essential protection of their communities,” according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The European Jewish Association (EJA), which represents Jewish communities across Europe, says that gun license laws must be altered following a string of deadly attacks on Jews in France and other European countries, where anti-Semitism has been growing at an alarming rate.
I would hope that our dear leaders would dismiss this out of hand with no debate. Allowing one very small section of the community to arm themselves and carry in public, whilst the rest of us will get prosecuted for a freakin' penknife would be sure to irk the rest of the population.
I was amazed to read just the other day that in London, they now have their own "security" patrols, using cars with markings identical to the police - except for some Hebrew slogan on the side - and are trained by the Met police and receive taxpayer funding for training / uniforms etc. They sure kept that one quiet!
I can imagine, given their rather volatile nature at times if anyone criticizes Israel within earshot, they'd feel obliged to shoot them and claim they were in fear of their safety, writing it down as another anti-semitic attack!
Hopefully this request will be given the complete dismissal it deserves.

Maybe you didn't get the context of his post, he's not against jews defending themselves. He's against ONLY jews being able to defend themselves. The law would give jews, and ONLY jews the legal right to carry firearms. Don't you think that's a bit short-sighted? Why be so exclusive?
So now you have a problem with Jews needing to defend themselves?
Maybe if in 1935 they were allowed to defend themselves we might not have had WWII.
But hey, you just keep signing that check for the Muslims since you have all the time and resources to keep defending their temper tantrums. What a good parent you are.

In the 19th century many Jewish immigrants came to the U.K due to its religious tolerance and non violence towards them. Similarly in the 20th century many Muslims came to the U.K, mainly from Pakistan, in order to secure financial security. They weren't exactly welcomed with open arms, but were tolerated i.e mainly ignored and housed in run down areas.
As for the U.K not doing anything about what was happening in Germany in the 1930's, again many Jews fled Germany to come to the U.K. I can't ever remember reading about the U.S being outraged about what was going on, no intervention on their part.
There has been plenty of anti-Islamic behaviour here over the last 10 years, of course there is also a small element who are anti-Semitic, but then again, I believe the U.S have their own anti-Semitic issues in many parts of the South.
I think the whole idea of allowing one particular religious group to have the right to carry arms is ridiculous. Whether they are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Himdu, Sikh or Jedi.

People don't have a problem with Jews defending themselves they have a problem with Jews being above a law that everyone else has to abide by.
Maybe if in 1935 they were allowed to defend themselves we might not have had WWII.
There was no law in 1935 to keep Jews from owning guns in Germany that law didn't start until 1938.
But hey, you just keep signing that check for the Muslims since you have all the time and resources to keep defending their temper tantrums. What a good parent you are.
This is simply an ignorant statement.
The Channel Islands, Nazis rounded up Jews under the protection and help of the British police force. Yes, we know how much you wanted them, that's why Zionism is the ultimate insult that comes mostly from Brits.

Let me see, are Jews considered equal in the eyes of British people? No, because every time I hear from a British person about Jews, they always attach "Evil Zionists" to them and that keeps them a separate group, even today in England and not one time in history has England apologized to the Jews.
But Spain apologized to the descendents of the Sephardi that they expelled 200 years AFTER England. Did England? Nope, the Jews just aren't worth apologizing to and William Shakespeare gets by with the name Shylock and the Brits think the Jews are requiring "The pound of flesh" from you. The fact that you keep them separate just show exactly how you have resisted their full assimilation.

Darn, you Brits gave away your spiritual legacy for Darwinism and "scientific knowledge" and it left you wide open to invasion by Muslims. You have been invaded, deal with it.
