The Jerusalem Post<\/em><\/a> that the study showed a strong presence of \u201canti-Semitism that is linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel, and is not neutral.\u201d<\/p>\nK\u00fcpper termed the outbreak of Jew-hatred in Germany \u201cremarkable\u201d because, according to her,\u00a0\u201cthere were widespread Holocaust remembrance and education events in Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is possible that K\u00fcpper and others in the widely respected University have completely failed\u00a0to notice a most obvious link here — It is more than likely that the mushrooming of Holocaust museums actually contributed to the resentment towards the Jewish state.\u00a0 Those who are inclined to interpret the Holocaust as a universal and a moral message\u00a0against racism and oppression would obviously also identify the Jewish State as a primary enemy of humanity and humanism. \u00a0I guess that Germans and others expect Jews to be at the forefront of the battle against racism. As it happens, the Jewish State sticks out as the total opposite; it is a leading abuser of human rights. It is a terrorist racist state that locks millions behind walls and barbed wires.<\/p>\n
The study, entitled \u201cIntolerance, Prejudice, Discrimination: A European Report\u201d \u2013questioned roughly 1,000 people in each of the selected EU countries. Asked to respond to the statement that \u201cIsrael is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians,\u201d 47.7 percent of the study\u2019s participants in Germany expressed agreement \u2013 the highest number in Western Europe.<\/p>\n
Given Poland\u2019s lukewarm foreign policy toward Israel, the finding that 63.3% of the Poles questioned agree that Israel is seeking to obliterate Palestinians may be deeply alarming to some Zionist and Israeli Hasbara campaigners. It seems as if the Hasbara project has been a disaster — Israel has managed the buy more than\u00a0a few politicians around the world —\u00a0but the masses still see the Jewish state for what it is.<\/p>\n
It seems as if the Holocaust indoctrination that is rallied and utilised by every Jewish and Zionist institution around the world\u00a0has backfired, and on every possible front:\u00a0\u00a0more and more people around regard the Israelis as the Nazis of our time.<\/p>\n
I must admit that I am uncomfortable with that comparison\u00a0— I actually believe that Israel is far worse than Nazi Germany,\u00a0at least from certain perspectives. Israelis, for instance, are fully aware of their government and army\u2019s brutal\u00a0measures against Palestinian civilian population —\u00a0and yet, the vast majority of them supports it all, and even affirms it democratically.<\/p>\n
The researchers in Bielefeld were shocked to find out that the statement, \u201cconsidering Israel\u2019s policy, I can understand why people do not like Jews\u201d met with general affirmation across Europe (35%-55%).<\/p>\n
I would\u00a0 like to try to help the unimaginative \u2018scholars’: I would argue that\u00a0 Israel presenting itself as the \u2018Jewish State\u2019\u00a0 may have something to do with it — Zionism has successfully managed to redefine Jewish identity. While in the past, Jews were largely associated with a world religion, namely, Judaism, they are now associated with the Jewish State and Global Zionist politics. Considering the Jewish State\u2019s atrocities then, it is only natural that Jewish political activity should\u00a0reflect so\u00a0badly on the image of world Jewry.<\/p>\n
The research also asked Europeans whether \u201cJews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era\u201d (as if we actually need a poll to know the answer to that one). Almost half the Germans responded in the affirmative. Poles who are subject to a constant flood of\u00a0 hostile Shoa tourism, totally approved the statement\u00a0 (72.2% affirmed). Furthermore, not only do Jews take advantage of their victimhood, there is also an extensive body of academic work that suggests that the Holocaust is the new Jewish religion: victimhood seems to be the current collective Jewish bond.<\/p>\n
It seems as if Dr K\u00fcpper\u2019s lameness knows no bounds — for instance she insists on making a link between the growing resentment towards Israeli barbarism\u00a0—\u00a0and the expanding intolerance towards marginalized minority\u00a0groups:\u00a0Poland and Hungary, she says,\u00a0are \u201calso plagued by extraordinary levels of sexism and homophobia\u201d.<\/p>\n
Someone should remind K\u00fcpper that gays are yet to lock their alleged\u00a0 \u2018foes\u2019\u00a0 in Bantustans, to surround them with walls and barbed wire, to impose a \u00a0blockade on\u00a0 them with a gay Navy or drop bombs on them from aero planes decorated with gay symbols.<\/p>\n
Gays and homosexuals do not use white phosphorus against people seeking refuge in UN shelters, and they do not raid peace activists\u2019 flotillas in the middle of the sea.<\/p>\n
In short, the resentment towards gays which K\u00fcpper detected in Poland and Hungary has nothing whatsoever to do with the clear antagonism towards Jewish politics — describing anti Israeli feeling and anti gay sentiment\u00a0as\u00a0originating from the same source,\u00a0and explaining them as being rooted in\u00a0a similar\u00a0animus\u00a0is both\u00a0illogical and groundless.<\/p>\n
It is embarrassing how lame academia has become.<\/p>\n
I guess that the University of Bielefeld may have to raise its academic standards and the sooner the better. I\u00a0would like to suggest\u00a0that\u00a0it search for the right minds — those who can teach and discuss the true intellectual heritage of German thought.<\/p>\n
Heidegger, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Schopenhauer could be a good start.<\/p>\n
