Holocaust memorial day posters defaced in East London

Edit: Forgot Muslims - but Islam tends to hate everyone else.

You obviously know little of history except the last 70 years judging by your post.
Muslims and Jews have historically had excellent relations throughout the Middle East. World War 2 and the Hollocaust are still seen as European and Western events by the world-- this is hard for Western people to understand but sadly it's true. Most of the world see it as a European war in the main.

The problems you see nowadays in regards to Muslims and Jews (anti semitism continues in Europe by the way, regardless of Muslim presence) is rooted in the Western sponsored Zionist invasion of Palestine. This is patently obvious and is a political issue primarily. This is conveniently ignored or forgotten by the media, instead, like you, they latch on the idea that Muslims inherently hate Jews and have done so "for thousands of years." This is simply islamaphobia. It wasn't Muslims who committed the Holocaust. Let's stick to FACTS.

I'd agree with all of that, but it hasn't helped that Iran has been quite vocal on the holcaust denial line recently.

This is what tends to happen when you transform a homogeneous nation state into a microcosm of world "diversity".

Not that we need a "Holocaust" memorial day anyway, if you ask the average school child about WW2 they won't be able to name any other victims than "the Jews".

Muslims and Jews have historically had excellent relations throughout the Middle East. .

This is a point that many Muslims try to make and which is wildly exaggerated.

Please tell me what Mohammed did to the Jewish people?

That's rhetorical. He beheaded them.

That's nonsense. Jews lived in his province, they were his neighbours. Synagogues nor Churches were burnt down and continue to exist in the MIddle East today.
People, including Jews, were beheaded but that's after war. That's not unusual during that time anywhere in the world, including Europe. They didn't pat them on the head and accept an apology.

What happened at Khyber?

Mohammed ethnically cleansed Jews from Medina.

It's rooted in Christianity of course. Peddled mostly by the Catholic church over the Jesus affair which they still haven't come to terms with. As you can see by our Catholic member posting in this thread ^^^

It's a subject you could do several Phd's about, such are the complex strands of anti-semitism.

The left wing for example find it very difficult to reconcile with the idea of a strong Jewish state. The left's vision of a Jew in their psyche is a weak, pacifist eternal victim. To go from that in WWII, to an alleged nuclear state that has successfully defended themselves with robustness, is too much for the left to handle. The fact that they have created such a modern state within 65 years in the middle of a still medieval region, also confuses them.

They have a romanticised vision of Arabia, the noble savages. They feel Israel is an anomaly. This leads the left to increasingly stray into anti-semitism. The middle class leftsists i.e. chattering classes tend to have a more general anti-semitism of looking down at Jews as being a bit dirty. Mired in money lending etc.

The far right are more into the traditional anti-semitism of Jews being behind all the world's ills, controlling everything, owning everything, wanting to kill off the white race etc.

Then there's the Catholics who just have a sneering resentment of Jews which they try and cover up, but is always bubbling beneath the surface. Ireland for example is the epitome of this.

It's a very interesting subject.

What he said.

I spend most of my time here reporting various oxygen thieves who have decided to start anti semetic threads.

I'm suspecting that Russia today and the Iranian media outlets, which re state owned are pushing anti semetism in order to weaken israeli position.

Yes, that's distasteful to say the least - a world leader saying something like this is very serious. However, without justifying it, again I would say his sentiments are again related to the Israel-Palestine issue. This is the cause of so much strife in the Middle East, if not the world.

I trust you do the same for all the islamophobic threads posted on here too?

It's no different to calling somebody you don't like a racist name hut to annoy them.
I think people need to realise that the Arab worlds only concern about the Palestinian issue is get rid of palestinian refugees.

I'm Suprised the guardian covered this.

Sadly anti semitism seems to be on the rise again. A depressed economy usy brings it out to play, but iran have been quite good at pushing it whilst the left wing have embraced the plight of the Palestinians because Israel
Is an American ally.

Hang on a second. Explain to me how anti-semitism, the prejudice against semitic peoples of which Arabs and ethnic Jews are both sub-peoples of, is the same as expressing solidarity or at least sympathy for a nationality who have entire neighbourhoods wiped out?

Good point. Did you know in Lebanon, Palestinians are outright banned by law from practicing professions like law and medicine? There is a list of 19 professions they are banned from practicing, and like many Arab states they are basically forced to live in refugee camps rather than settle elsewhere

Where is the outrage about that?

Arab on arab injustice in allowed. It's like iraq or Afganistan, certain members of society tend to ignore the vast majority of civilian casualty a were/are caused by locals killing other locals.

I normally criticise those people. The recent spate of 'Islam should be banned because of what's been happening in Paris' normally get responded to that the attacks were vo sites by a fringe minority using religion to further a political aim.
