Muslim and Leftist Aggressors Driving Jews from Europe

In Y-Net we read:
FranceMore Jews have left France for Israel so far this year than from any other country, a leading Jewish group said on Friday, blaming a "climate of anti-Semitism."
"France is today the leading country for Jewish emigration to Israel. It has never been before," said Ariel Kandel, head of the French office of the Jewish Agency for Israel.
He cited a "climate of anti-Semitism that is losing its taboo" as well as economic difficulties in France, which is suffering from zero growth and record high unemployment...
In addition to the largest Jewish diaspora in Europe, France is also home to the continent's biggest Muslim community, which is estimated at around five million...
Concerns have been raised by violent attacks on Jews, including the murders of a rabbi and three Jewish children by an al-Qaeda inspired gunman Mohammed Merah in 2012 in the southern city of Toulouse.
Are we supposed to believe it to be some big secret that the Arab-Muslim world is absolutely riddled with the most blood-curdling anti-Semitism?  What's going on in Europe is that violently inclined anti-Jewish immigrant Muslims are driving Jews off of that continent and doing it with the complicity and encouragement of our friends in the progressive-left.
If Europe's Muslims tend to harass the Jewish minority there, they do it with the encouragement of western "liberals" who believe that Arabs and Muslims have every right to harass, if not murder, Jews, due to Israel's allegedly bad behavior.  Of course, no good "progressive" would ever explicitly say that Arabs have every right to kill Jews.  Instead, they will simply cite chapter and verse of alleged Jewish crimes against Arabs in highly emotional tones and then simply let things take their natural course.
It is pointless to suggest that Jews in France are innocent of anything that Israel has done to defend itself.  Most European Jews would never dream of insulting their Arab neighbors by doing anything so aggressive and drastic as defending oneself or one's children.
For the most part, but not entirely, diaspora Jews are not big believers in self-defense.  This being the case, western-progressives provide the necessary justification for violence against those Jews by inciting hatred not merely against Israelis, but against "Zionists," more generally.
If there are too few IDF in Paris to locate and chase down with rocks, there are a small number of other Jews that work just fine as a proxy.  If a young Muslim Jihadi in-training has yet to make it to Karachi, Pakistan, or northern Iraq, he can start practicing in England or France or Sweden.
But the main thing he requires from western progressives is the kinds of justifications that will resonate with other westerners and liberals.  Thus fourteen centuries of Koranically-based Jew Hatred and persecution within the oppressive system of dhimmitude gets veiled by Edward Saidian gibberish concerning the "white imperialist oppressors" of the innocent "indigenous" population.
With the merest slight of the hand, fourteen centuries of Jewish second and third class non-citizenship under the boot of Arab-Muslim colonial rule simply goes poof.  All context disappears and is replaced by a fantasy of Jewish militarism following World War II.  Arab genocidal intentions toward the Jews directly after the Holocaust are also entirely whitewashed out of existence by western progressives who honestly - but, falsely - believe that they stand for social justice.
Have you ever wondered how it happened that the western world turned its back against the Jews during the Holocaust?  The answer is that they did not turn their back on the Jews during the Holocaust.  On the contrary, they turned their backs on the Jews prior to the Holocaust as the Nazis were developing the process of defamation that would ultimately justify the violence itself.
The conditions that led to the Holocaust are obviously not in place in today's world.  Instead we have other conditions, but two things remain the same.  The first is the violent hatred of a large hostile majority population and the second is the justification given for that violence by ethically-bankrupt western intellectuals and idealist activists.
When western intellectuals and writers and journalists and, yes, bloggers, defame and denigrate Israel as a racist, imperialist, colonialist, apartheid state, they project lies grounded in willful distortions, wild exaggerations, and unjustifiable malice.
The result is the whipping up of hatred not only toward Israeli Jews, but to all Jews, everywhere, including Paris.
