Under söndagen genomfördes två vidriga antisemitiska dåd. Flera personer sköts ihjäl utanför judiska muséet i Bryssel. På samma dag attackerades två judar utanför en synagoga i Paris.
Israeliska politikern Nathan Sharansky skriver på facebook om attentaten:
I am deeply distressed by yesterday’s horrifying attacks against Jewish targets in Brussels and Paris. We at The Jewish Agency for Israel are investing considerable sums in helping Jewish communities across Europe—including in Belgium and France—provide for their physical security, however nothing will help so long as Europe’s political and intellectual leadership refrains from declaring all-out war against the demonization of the Jewish state.
While Jews as individuals are no longer demonized in Europe as they were in previous centuries, the demonization of Israel—the collective Jew—continues to rise to new heights, creating a toxic atmosphere in which Jews live in fear and those who target them flourish.
When Israel is singled out for condemnation and scorn, even as crimes against humanity and genuine humanitarian catastrophes rage throughout the Middle East and around the world, the message to those seeking a pretext to harm Jews is clear. Until Europe declares war on the demonization of Israel, no security measure will help.
NGO Monitor har skrivit om hur bland annat Sverige göder det politiska krig som pågår mot Israel genom att stötta antisionistiska föreningar i Israel och de palestinska områdena.
De antisemitiska dåden sker inte i ett vakuum. Så länge etablissemanget demoniserar Israel kommer de antisemitiska dåden att fortsätta öka.
