Ever since the attacks in Paris, the question of whether you, the Jewish people, are safe in Europe has been hotly debated. The actress Maureen Lipmann, the editor of the UK Jewish Chronicle and numerous other public figures have questioned whether there is any longer a place for you on this continent. Even the Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu has called for your mass emigration to Israel, citing the same security concerns.
After Copenhagen, the second case in swift succession that a Jewish venue has come under attack by Muslim colonists, more of you than ever will be beginning to wonder if such sentiments are justified.
Europe is in a dire condition. I won’t pretend otherwise. Nevertheless, I think it would be a terrible shame is you were to abandon it and its people to cultural desertification. As has been said by innumerable French intellectuals over the past months, a Judenfrei France is not ‘France’ at all. I would extend that even further. A Judenfrei Europe is not ‘Europe’ at all.
It probably goes without saying that had you never settled in Europe, many of the glories of the continent would never have been possible. In European science, medicine, the arts and political thought, you have been a leading edge ever since your emancipation from the Ghettos.
In the aftermath of Paris, it has not been pointed out enough that the supreme work of modern French literature, ‘À la recherche du temps perdu’ was written by an author of Jewish origin; that the halls of French philosophy are similarly decorated with Jewish achievements; that the economic fortunes of Paris itself are entwined with the security of its Jewish community.
The fear you feel is obviously justified. The Muslim conquest of Europe is proceeding at an accelerating pace and challenges everything we hold dear. Ghettos of violent intolerance are becoming a feature of everyday life, not just in France, but in Britain, Germany and Scandinavia too. From these Ghettos, there will likely be further attacks on the general public and on your community in particular. People will die. Women will be raped. Transport networks will be blown up and trains derailed. Perhaps there will one day be an attack on a French nuclear reactor, sending winds of toxic fallout across the nearest residential sprawl.
You could, of course, flee to Israel and from there watch the descent of Europe with a grinning, “told you so..” schadenfreude – but surely this is a gutterish pleasure befitting a people of far lesser qualities than your own.
I understand there is a demographic war in Israel and that an exodus would bolster the Zionist project, but surely your presence in the powerful nations of Europe also lends itself to that project. If you depart, what will become of your reputation or influence on a continent increasingly populated by those who hate you?
We are told repeatedly by the dispensers of Hasbara that we in the West should ‘stand with Israel’ in her times of peril. And that of course is very proper and correct. We should do. But we should also expect reciprocation.
After all, if you go and Muslims remain, Europe will lose a vital and reliable source of resistance. That will leave the prospects of Jihad much brighter and the likelihood of European survival greatly diminished. Even in Israel, the fallout from an Islamified France or Sweden will be felt. Sweden is already voting to recognise a Palestinian state, no doubt under duress from its swelling Islamic population. Without a Jewish-led opposition to such suicidal policies, Israel might find itself left with only Washington as an ally. In my opinion, it would be extremely dangerous to place all your eggs in the basket of a post-Obama, soon to be minority-majority America. Especially one where even the Republican base increasingly jostles for a more isolationist foreign policy.
So don’t flee. Stay here. Lock arms with us. Fight alongside us and be willing to defend our common values. This is your home as much as anyone else’s.

Defend the Modern World 
It’s true.
The contribution of Jewish people and Jewish brainpower to Europe & the World far exceeds their tiny numbers.
However, imagine that you are a Jewish father with two little kids.
Considering the current rise of Islamic Jew hatred, would you not at least consider options?
Especially, when (Left leaning) European politicians justify such hatred as due to the ‘situation’ in Gaza. I’ve been watching the news and talk shows avidly for last few weeks, and I notice a distinct reluctance by the media & the politicians to not even name the source of this hatred.
Either I would hide my Jewishness(not wearing the Kippah, not going to the synagogue etc) or I would seriously think of emigrating, because my family’s safely comes above all political-historical considerations. That’s what I’d do, if I were a European Jew today.

Here’s a fine article by a Spanish author Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez.
I couldn’t find the original article in Spanish or even know if Sebastian even is a real name, but the article is true enough.
“All European Life Died In Auschwitz
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.
In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naïve hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.”

What I find particularly chilling is that such a large section of the European Left is prepared to look the other way with regard to Muslim anti-semitism,or even to blame the Jews themselves for ‘provoking it’ by their allegiance to Israel. A few years back I read a vile piece in the ‘New Statesman’ by John Pilger (the words ‘vile’ and ‘John Pilger’ seem to go naturally together) in which he said that if the Jews of Europe did not reject Israel then they would have to face the consequences, sorry I don’t have the exact quote. The Muslims in Europe seem to be targeting the Jews first, but this is merely the beginning.

The problem with Zionism is that it is an ethnic, rather than a civic, form of nationalism. Britain’s less than honourable role in creating the conflict in the so-called ‘Holy Land’ shouldn’t be forgotten. Using an Arab army in 1917 to drive out the Turks, then promising the land to the Jews, who were then used to suppress the Arabs. The Zionist militias trained by the British military then turned against the British military. On the general issue of Jews in Europe, most are secularised and well integrated to the point that one wouldn’t know whether or not any individual is Jewish any more than Catholic or any variety of Protestant by upbringing.

It’s called the ‘Horse Shoe’ theory.

The far-left and far-right resemble each other in many ways.
Hardline Communists easily became hardline Nazis (in Germany)before the war and vice-versa after the war.
It’s the pragmatic centrists and the idealistic utopian far-right/left that are actually the opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. Probably that explains the ease with which the far- left co-operates with the far-right Islamists.

In spite of the hideous past that the Jews of Europe have endured, they have become “European” in ways that this new wave of muslim immigrants never will. It seems the Enlightenment that emancipated the Jews from the historical ghetto is being all but forgotten and subsumed by the “newthink” of Europe’s intellectually and morally impoverished leaders and media talking heads. The politicians are simply hand puppets for the vacuous and self hating agenda of people who would sell their own future and that of their children just to prove a point. Vile voice’s like Pilger’s are joined by a long list of other ersatz marxists that STILL hold a soft spot in their hearts for Stalin and Co. Chomsky comes to mind simply because his influence is so inexplicably popular with the Anglo intellectual establishment and it’s middle class wannabes. He gives them the answers they want and removes any guilt about hating Israel and by extension, the United States. He makes the Scapegoat viable again, and we all know who that is. It would be an understatement to say that this political viewpoint has replaced any sense of nationhood or spiritual fervor. Secularism has been twisted into a sort of “correct” nihilism. Woe to any dissenters. By shaming the nationhood that once existed in much of Europe, with particular focus on the UK, this utterly bankrupt cadre of leftists and islamists is driving this colonization by islam. There is no intention of making Europe a better place. On the contrary. It’s as if they seek its destruction to fulfill this contrived narrative of “post-colonialism” as payback for the past 2 centuries of Europe’s “crimes” of imperialism. They also blindly ignore the new imperialism of islam that has a proven track record of wreaking destruction wherever it raises its head for the past 1400 years. Until that is addressed I see nothing but trouble worsening in the future for Jews and natives alike. One must fight two battles: the first against one’s disbelieving peers and the other against the actual enemy that has come to conquer and change Europe into a caliphate. They have stated their goals plainly. Why won’t we listen? I do think the Jews of Western Europe are listening and leaving is becoming more and more the only viable option.

The irritating thing is that, while I don’t want them to, I very much appreciate why Jews wish to leave. It’s perfectly logical, advantageous to their personal well-being and it would also help prevent or moderate Israel’s demographic crisis. The only thing Europeans can do is to appeal to European Jewish patriotism. Many Jews have a deep sense of loyalty to Europe (this, tragically, led to Jews remaining in Germany in the 1930s – they didn’t want to leave because they were Germans too). I don’t think that history needs to be repeated. Most of the European right-wing now sympathises with Jews.

I can’t help but feel that the main underlying reason why Christian and secular Europeans urge Jews NOT to leave Europe is that they know that if the Jews leave, it is THEY, the Christians and secularists who will then become the favorite target of the Muslim thugs and clergy.

Indeed. Having moved around different states and into different income-level neighborhoods here in the USA, one knows which groups tend to destroy a house completely before leaving it, whether it’s in foreclosure or not. Entire blocks of neighborhoods have bars on windows. The glass behind the bars are sometimes broken and boarded up, as well.
Every one of these homes have cable or satellite TV hook-ups and the remaining occupied homes usually have newer cars parked outside. It seems the people tend to want and enjoy modern amenities in life, so long as it’s on some kind of monthly subscription. And when the bills for them come overdue, they just leave (through eviction, which is becoming near-impossible anymore) and start all over again somewhere else.
I’d like to also say, most of them have not been taught to handle a broom or a mop. But then, the majority of white middle-class ladies I’ve dated during the past 20 years have no clue about home economics either.
What I’m saying is, some clans of society just don’t give a damn about their surroundings, and perhaps even enjoy destroying everything all around them. Why can’t we point this out as a negative (and therefore, unwanted) part of a group’s culture? Racism. (And in the case of the females I’ve met or lived with, Sexism!)
After a while, one can be indoctrinated into “realizing” that cleanliness and conserving the usefulness of a thing through maintenance is an immoral, slave-driving demeanor in people. LOL.

RGB – I couldn’t agree with you more. These are the fruits of the grievance industry whereby everyone (except white men) is a victim and deserves retribution and compensation for their “suffering”. The one word you left out, “entitlement”, explains much of this as well. “Entitlement” as we know, usually is preceded by the thoroughly racist “White”. Nothing could be further from the truth. Like they say, who am I gonna believe, you or my lying eyes? I’ve never seen more entitled behavior in my life as when I lived in a mixed building in Brooklyn. Apparently, some people are more entitled than others to the point of appropriating the common space and property, including digging up the landscaping to give to friends who didn’t live there, letting their offspring roam the halls at all hours unsupervised (I’m talking about children under 10) and unrelenting noise and sound systems blasting. Don’t even get me started on the littering and rubbish problems. To complain was “racist” pure and simple. I, and a good number of the more suitable residents left. The hostility just grew to be too much. The lunatics can have the asylum. To put an even more shocking spin on this, these troublemakers were not poor, uneducated or deprived in any way, except perhaps of what the social contract means in terms of respect, etiquette and cleanliness. They all had jobs—good paying ones too—but sadly two parent households were non-existent. This was a cooperative building where the residents owned shares of the property and thus owned it in common. Never again.

Have you ever read Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings”? One of the first ominous signs of the resurgence of Mordor is that the Elves begin leaving Middle Earth. The feeling in the book, for characters that notice it, is similar to the feeling more aware westerners have when they see Jews leaving their countries. It’s not a perfect analogy, of course, in that when the Jews go from Europe to Israel, it’s more as if the Elves were moving not out of middle earth altogether, but instead going to Minas Tirith, the Tower of Guard: the embattled city that – as a sort of mythic blend of Rome, Constantinople, and Jerusalem, but also of 1683 Vienna – stands directly over against Mordor and is the first city that Mordor attacks.
Read Lord of the Rings and forget all about the fools who think Tolkien was inspired by WWI or by WWII or by the Cold War. Remember he was a medievalist and a Catholic who was deeply aware of the sweep of history. I personally think that Christendom’s 1400 year battle for survival against the neverending jihad has, I think, done much more to inspire Tolkien’s middle earth and its thousand-year-and-more struggle against Sauron and Mordor, than any mere intra-infidel squabbles of the 20th century.
When you do read Tolkien, make sure you pay particular attention to a chapter in the very last book of the epic, entitled “The Scouring of the Shire”. You might find it of interest.

Thanks for your lovely article. It really means a lot to me. It’s nice to know we aren’t alone.
I think all Jews packing up and moving to Israel is a very stupid idea. Gathering all the Jews in one place is very dangerous when we live in a time with a nuclear Pakistan and a soon to be nuclear Iran.
Jews are being targeted in Britain, but so are native Britons. We all need to stand together to defend Western civilization.
