The New Racists: Jew Hate

• If you had thought that the only qualification needed is to excel at your chosen art form and then see if you can gather audiences, you were wrong. That is not enough anymore -- certainly not if you are Jewish.
  

• The treatment of the reggae star Matisyahu is something new. For Matisyahu is not an Israeli -- he is an American. For a while, only Israeli Jews were made pariahs among the nations because of an unresolved border dispute involving their country. Now it is Jews born anywhere else in the world who can be targeted in the same way. They are singling out Jews -- Jews and only Jews.
  

• Habima performers were insulted and vilified while on stage at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, trying to perform "The Merchant of Venice." None of the protesters seemed to see the irony of vilifying Jews on stage during that of all plays.
  

• Spain has its own border issues. Perhaps Spanish performers should henceforth be quizzed about their political attitudes before they are allowed to perform abroad? Maybe the rest of the world should demand that all artists from Spain sign a statement or make a video supporting Catalan independence if they are to be allowed to perform in public?
  

• Only one country and one geopolitical question is addressed in this way. Turkish artists are nowhere in the world asked to condemn their country's illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus -- an occupation, lasting more than four decades, of half an EU member state.
  

• Their singling out of Jews, wherever they are from, makes their racist motivation abundantly clear. If the Rototom Sunsplash festival wants to take part in this racist BDS fever then it is them -- and not Jews -- whom the world must make into pariahs.

the biggest problem with the is premise is that Jews are clearly better treated than the Majority of Anglos... let alone Black, Hispanic, native, etc

if there is discrimination it is positive discrimination as they are often richer, loaned more money more easily, more likely to not be incarcerated, leniency for crimes, and given better education based Often based on the fact they are Jewish/White.

At this point in time, 2015, Jews have to be one of the MOST advantaged if not the most advantage by their race of any group of people. rich white Anglos are really the only group that is even comparable in favorable treatment but Anglos (due to much higher numbers) also have more individuals on the opposite end that get treated poorly, so On balance, Anglos as a whole may be worse off than Jews.

That has to be the worst poor claim you have ever come out with Veya when Jews are one of the most persecuted groups still today around the world.
Positive discrmination based on doing no wrongs, which means you back antisemitism based off the only connection being this is an American Jew.
The view was he was being held to ransom to state where he stood on a conflict which no other ethnic group of people is held accountable to play at a concert. Like the article says you have other conflicts where people of that ethnic group are not held accountable for their only connection being their ethnicity.
Its racism pure and simple and to make out its acceptable shows a pure and unnatural claim to a view Jews are treated better, the most persecuted people in history. So to claim they should face racism based off a poor belief you have their are advantaged plays into the already massive problem of antisemitism.
So to claim they are advanataged when they face discrmination shows a complete lack of understanding of antisemitism around the world.

lol get stats
compare to African Americans NOT EVEN THE SAME BALL PARK if you only count the last 10 years

On percentages?
And you base this on one country?
How about Europe?
Would you like to see the stats in many European countries?
Again you are excusing racism now based off how one group still faces the worst discrmination in the US.
So how does your view compare to Europe?

February 17, 2015 (San Diego’s East County)—Last week, a young Jewish man was shot and killed outside a Copenhagen synagogue. In Paris, as many as 250 Jewish graves were desecrated. At the University of California in Davis, California earlier this month, swastikas were sprayed on a Jewish fraternity houseafter a demonstration by pro-Palestinian students, one of whom proclaimed on Facebook that Hamas and Sharia law had come to the campus, prompting 23 organizations to demand an investigation to protect Jewish students’ safety. These are the latest in a string of hate crimes targeting Jewish people around the world.

Unprecedented Anti-Semitic Violence Worldwide

It’s a violent start to the New Year that continues a chilling trend. Last year, 2014, was a year of unprecedented anti-Semitic violence worldwide, the Simon Wiesenthal Center reports. That report found that due to violent anti-Semitism, Jewish people worldwide now face the greatest challenges since the end of World War II, when 6 million Jewish people were exterminated in concentration camps by the Nazis.

Last year was the year of ISIS, Lone Wolf terrorism, targeted murders and rapes of Jewish citizens in European democracies and anti-Jewish demonstrations in streets of Europe and on college campuses in America. Many Jews are now fleeing Europe, fearing they have no safe future in their European homelands after hundreds of violent physical attacks, many of them deadly.

Mark Steyn, writing in Jewish World Review in January 2015, warns that “The Jews are always the canaries in the coal mine, so they won’t be the last in Europe to discover that, when it matters, the state isn’t there for you.” Indeed, in nations such as Iraq and Egypt, Jews were the first to be violently attacked and driven out of the country, before the far more widely publicized attacks and displacement of Christians in those regions by the same Muslim extremist forces.
Every French Jew I Know Has Left Paris

During the shootings of cartoonists and others at the French magazine Charlie Hebdot, the Islamic terrorists also seized a Jewish deli, killing four people. In 2012, a rabbi and three schoolchildren in France died in an attack in front of their school, the Washington Post reported, prompting high security at schools across France and some schools denying admission to Jewish children. Other French Jews attacked recently include a disk jockey whose throat was slit and eyes gouged out, a schoolgirl beaten by a mob chanting “Jews must die,” and a young man tortured to death over three weeks by assailants who phoned his family and forced them to listen to his torment, Jewish World Review reports.. Numerous other sources report other disturbing crimes including an arsonist setting fire to a kosher market, a kosher restaurant that was firebombed, and two Islamic female teens who were arrested for plotting to blow up a synagogue—all in France, once a bastion of freedom and safety for Jews formerly persecuted by the Nazis.

The editor of Britain’s Jewish Chronicle told the Daily Mail that every Jew he knows has left France or is actively working to leave. Nearly 7,000 French Jews have moved to Israel this year—double last year’s level, a rise fueled by safety fears, Tablet Magazine reported in January.

After the recent attacks in Paris and Copenhagen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by inviting European Jews to take refuge in Israel, stating, “We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe,” the New York Times reports.

But Israel is far from a permanent safe haven, with Palestinians and many Arab and Middle Eastern nations committed to the destruction of the Israeli state. For instance, Iran’s Ayotollah Ali Khamenei last year called for “annihilation” of Israel, Slate Magazine reported.While the Israeli-Palestinian situation is controversial and has ignited criticisms of both sides, the attacks on Jews worldwide have not been limited to those supporting the Israeli government, faulting all Jews for the actions of Israel. Moreover the assailants have failed to recognize the free speech rights of people in western nations to support political causes regardless of popularity, seeking to kill or silence through intimidation all who disagree with pro-Palestinian views and even some Jews who have criticized Israeli policies.

In fact, Jews have been targeted solely for their faith across Europe and other parts of the world, including the U.S.
Worst Times Since The Nazi Era

Anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise in Germany despite strong laws prohibiting hate speech. Last year, 184 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded in just two months, the Wall Street Journal reported. Violence included torching a synagogue and attacks by anti-Israel protesters on Jews in the streets of Berlin. Dieter Graumann, president of Germany’s Central Council on Jews, told the Guardian, “These are the worst times since the Nazi era. On the streets you hear things like “The Jews should be gassed, The Jews should be burned.”

Britain’s Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sachs told BBC radio that many rabbis have been assaulted and attacked on streets of Europe, and Jewish schools have been burned to the ground by people seeking to silence or even ban Jewish societies on campuses.

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs in 2004 reported a rise in anti-Semitism across Europe including firebombing of Jewish schools, desecration of synagogues and cemeteries and verbal attacks. In 2005 the U.S. State Department warned of high rates of attacks on Jewish people even in seemingly permissive societies such as Sweden and the Netherlands.
Netherlands No Longer Safe For JewsPhoto Credit: The Holocast Memorial in Berlin (Roy L Hales photo)

The Netherlands, site of the recent Copenhagen attack, has among the highest incidence of anti-Semitic incidents in the European Union. The country once home to Anne Frank, whose heart-wrenching diary of hiding during Nazi occupation has been read by millions, is once again no longer safe for Jews. The situation is so dire that in 2010 an orthodox rabbi in Amsterdam, Raphael Evers, said Jews can no longer be safe in the city anymore due to the risk of violent assaults.

In Norway, the Norwegian Broadcasting Company did research and found Jew hatred prevalent in 8th to 10th graders; students praised Hitler in schools, denigrated teachers trying to teach about the Holocaust and reportedly took one child out to the woods to hang because he was a Jew, though fortunately the child escaped.

In Malmo Sweden a synagogue was set on fire, worshippers abused on the streets and cemeteries desecrated; masked men chanted “Hitler” in the streets. Now Jewish children must attend school blocked by thick, steel security doors, the London Telegraph has reported. At rallies flags of Hamas and Hezbollah are waved in the streets while Israel’s flag is burned. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish rights group, issued a travel advisory in 2010 warning Jews to use extreme caution if visiting southern Sweden; the Mayor of Malmo has been accused of failing to protect Jews and allowing young Muslims to harass Jewish people, according to the Telegraph’s report.

The European Jewish Congress’s president in 2012 called these earlier attacks “tremors before a massive earthquake” and asked that European nations react with legislation to halt incitement and halt terrorism and violent activities against Jews, which have instead escalated since then.
Anti-Semiticism In Canada

These alarming trends are also happening in North America. There have been anti-Semitic attacks on synagogues, schools, cemeteries, Jewish owned homes and businesses across Canada, according to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
Hate Crimes Against Jews In America

Here in the U.S., Time Magazine reported that 60% of all 1,166 religious hate crimes investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2012 targeted Jews, who face threats in America from home-grown white supremacists as well as from Muslim immigrant extremists—violence that has spilled over to harm others.

In April 2014, a former Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan murdered three people near Jewish community centers in Kansas City. The killer in that case, a raging anti-Semite who for decades advocated the extermination of all Jews, missed his mark however –the victims he gunned down at the Jewish Community Center were not Jewish.

Hate crimes against Jews in America have most often been property crimes, according to the Anti-Defamation League, including 315 acts of vandalism and 31 acts of violence reported to their call centers in 2013.“A man prays at the Western Wall in Jerusalem” by David Shankbone – Own work. Licensed under CC BY 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons

But not always. Last year a rabbi was killed in Florida on his way to religious services; mourners at his funeral found their cars defaced by swastikas. In 2012, a New York City commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp was disrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, prompting Councilman David Greenfield to chastise the disruptors for showing they were not only anti-Israel, but displaying “naked, blind anti-Semitism.” ABC News reports recently that a Jewish-owned business in Washington D.C. has received phone calls threatening mass murder.
Anti-Semiticism In California

Most recently at UC Davis, pro-Palestinian demonstrators harassed pro-Israeli demonstrators and swastikas were sprayed on a Jewish fraternity house. A symbolic vote calling for divestiture of University of California funds from Israel was pushed through by Muslim students, though UC regents have said they do not support the resolution. A member of the student senate, Azka Fayyaz, proclaimed on Facebook that “Hamas and Sharia law have taken over U.C. Davis.” Hamas is designated a terrorist group by the US State Department and by the United Nations.

Last week, Assemblywoman Shirley Weber from San Diego was reappointed chair of the California Assembly Select Committee on Campus Climate. We asked her office for a response to the anti-Semitic incidents at U.C. Davis. The committee’s purpose is to assure that the campuses of state universities and community colleges have policies to assure safety of everyone and safety for the free expression of ideas. Weber’s spokesman, Joe Kucerek, told East County Magazine, “We are also committed to campuses where differences do not interfere with mutual respect required for civil discourse and a productive learning environment. The reports of incidents of heckling, intimidation, inflammatory speech and the appearance of swastikas on the UC Davis in conjunction with the recent divestment vote are abhorrent. We understand the UC administration and campus police were fairly swift in their response. We’ve been meeting with stakeholders and the committee will continue to monitor the administration’s response and the police investigation into this matter.”
Muslim Immigrants From Arab Nations

A survey by the Anti-Defamation League in 2007 found 15% of Americans hold anti-Semitic views. Globally,, the Brandeis Center reports that a recent Anti-Defamation League study found that there are now one billion adult anti-Semites in the world—that’s approximately one-seventh of the entire world population.

Experts believe the alarming rise in modern anti-Semitism is being fueled largely by an influx of Muslim immigrants from Arab nations, though their outspoken words and actions are also emboldening home-grown hate groups such as neo-Nazis and white Supremacists.

There are certainly some Muslims who respect the rights of all people to practice their faith, or at least would stop short of condoning violence on those with different religions. But media too often downplay the very high rate of Muslims who hold anti-Semitic views, particularly those in or from the Middle East.

Robert Bernstein, founder of Human Rights Watch, says anti-Semitisim is “deeply ingrained and institutionalized” in Arab nations in modern times.

A 2011 survey by Pew Research conducted in all Muslim-majority Middle Eastern countries found that the number of people there with positive views of Jews ranged from just 2% to 4%, compared to the U.S., where 82% surveyed said they have positive views of Jews.

Moreover, dialogue from Middle Eastern media at times resembles Nazi propaganda. Newsweek has reported that “Jew hatred remains culturally endemic.” Muslim clerics in the Middle East and elsewhere frequently have referred to Jews as descendants of apes or pigs, citing Koranic verses, also calling Christians swine, according to the Anti-Semitism documentation project published by the Middle East Media Research Institute. Some clerics have called for the deaths of all Jews. Textbooks in many Muslim schools also refer to Jews and Christians in these derogatory terms, as well as spreading propaganda referring to Jews as miserly or greedy. One Saudi text blames Jews for wars in modern times and predicts an apocalyptic fight that will end in victory over all Jews. A Saudi newspaper suggested that hatred of all Jews is justifiable.

A U.S. State Department report in 2008 found a rise in anti-Semitism worldwide, CNN reported, as did a 2012 report by the U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, the State Department reported in 2013.

Kenneth Marcus, president and general counsel of the Louis D Brandeis Center, wrote in an article published on the Center’s website, “To ignore the dangers of resurgent worldwide anti-Semitism is to misunderstand the ways in which we will all be touched by developments around the world, whether we choose to recognize them or not.”
Worst Global Anti-Semitic INcidents

In the past year alone, the Wiesenthal Center’s list of the 10 worst anti-semitic actions included a Belgium doctor refusing medical help to a 90-year-old woman with a fractured rib, telling her son to “Send her to Gaza.” In Paris, anti-Semitic assailants conducted a home invasion, tying up and raping a Jewish couple, insisting Jews always have money.

In Hungary, where over a half million Jews perished in the Holocaust, the mayor of one town hanged Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanhayhu in effigy; an anti-Semitic political party is gaining political power and influence.

In Belgium, a café hung a sign reading “Dogs welcome, Jews not,” and in Brussels demonstrators chanted “Death to the Jews.” Terrorists murdered three rabbis outside a Jewish museum in Brussels, attacking them with axes and cleavers, leaving them dead in a pool of blood. Three of the rabbis were American citizens.
Holocaust DenialPhoto Credit: A broken and twisted mound of emaciated corpses lay strewn in one of three open burial pits. At the liberation of Belsen on 15 April 1945, by Lieutenant (Lt) Alan Moore via Wikipedia (Public Domain)

Jew-haters have increasingly also sought to deny historical facts through holocaust denial. Israel was established by the United Nations as a save haven for Jews after World War II, so holocaust deniers seek to discredit the legitimacy of the Israeli state as well as reduce empathy for crimes against Jewish people. The United States Holocaust Museum Memorial has detailed information on its website documenting the holocaust tragedies and advising the public how to recognize and combat holocaust denial. Holocaust denial is a crime in many European nations, but is tolerated in the U.S. due to First Amendment free speech protections, unless the messages incite violence.

For Holocaust survivors and descendants who lost loved ones, as well as to Jewish people everywhere, the growing anti-Semitism and violence targeting Jews are frightening – chilling reminders of a past all hoped would they would never have to face again.

A troubling aspect of the rising tide of hatred against Jews is the lack of coverage by major media.
Many Americans Are Unaware

When three Muslim-Americans were shot and killed by a neighbor in North Carolina over what authorities call a parking dispute, the story made national and international news headlines. But where is the international media attention, the global outrage, over the cold-blooded murders and systematic efforts to terrify Jews around the world? Even in the U.S., many Americans are unaware of the blood being shed by Jewish people under attack across Europe or their near extermination in the Middle East.

What can be done to reverse this rising tide of violence, hate crimes and intimidation targeting Jews?

The Simon Wiesenthal Center urges “people of good faith everywhere to commit in 2015 to “break the apathy and silence and to stand up and speak out against history’s oldest hate wherever it rears its ugly head. “

basing it on Europe? you may as well base it on Syria
you lot are always fighting and killing and genociding.

percentages should be looked at...
share of the world wealth per capita i think pretty much sums it up
Jews are not down trodden

they are some times abused etc but not even close to the many other minorities that have no where near the resources, the media support, political support or finical support that the Jewish community has.

You lot?
Talk about poor derisive talk as if now it is racial.
So you tell me, what would the reaction be if an A British Muslim off Iranian was told to say that if they did not condemn Iran over its laws they would not be able to perform in concert?
Where do you want to draw the line on this?
People can hold what views they like even if derisive but everyone should have equality under law. What you propose is racism plain and simple based off an absurd and innaccurate view that Jews are advantaged when many are persecuted.
Now if he was promoting hate speech at concerts that would be differnt just like Pink Floyd who had an inflated Pig at his concert.
I may well chastise those on here who refuse to condemn terrorists, but its down to them to realise this, basically this is forcing people to state something they may not agree with that if they do not they will not play. I mean imagine the outcry if someone was forced to denounce islam otherwise they would not play?
As seen Jews face around the world more than any other group even in countries which face no conflict the most persecution more any group on a global bases, I suggest you look at stats for antisemtism per country.
I am always posting racism which is used against African Americans, and Asians and any who face racism and for you to excuse this is nothing short of appalling as all racism is wrong.
You clearly hold as seen antisemitic views

CNSNews.com) – Restrictions, harassment, and intimidation towards people who practice their religion increased in every major region of the world in 2012 except the Americas, with Christians the major target, says a new report by the Pew Research Center.
“Muslims and Jews experienced six-year highs in the number of countries in which they were harassed by national, provincial or local governments,” the study found, but Christians continue to be the world’s most oppressed religious group, with persecution against them reported in 110 countries.

A recent report by the Christian group Open Doors noted that “North Korea remains the world’s most restrictive nation in which to practice Christianity,” followed by Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Pakistan, Iran and Yemen.

More than “5.3 billion people (76% of the world’s population) live in countries with a high or very high level of restrictions on religion,” Pew noted, “up from 74% in 2011 and 68% as of mid-2007.”

A fifth of the world's nations (20%) also experienced religious terrorism or sectarian violence in 2012, Pew researchers found, which was “up markedly from 2007 (9%).”

President Obama expressed hope that the “Arab Spring” would give rise to greater religious freedom in North Africa and the Middle East, which has had the world’s highest level of hostility towards religion in every year since 2007, when Pew first began measuring it. However, the study finds that these regions actually experienced the largest increase in religious hostilities in 2012.

Across the six years that Pew has conducted the study, Christians were being harassed for their faith in 151 countries and Muslims in 135. Together they represent the world’s two largest religious groups and more than half of the world’s population.

Jews, who make up less than 1% of the world’s population, experienced religious persecution in 95 countries. Researchers also found an increase in religious harassment in countries where Hindus, Buddhists or followers of other traditional religions predominated.

95 countries which backs up my point globally

Talk about evdaing the point though where an American Jew was targeted with hate and basically blackmailed to either make a declaration of be barred from playing.
So are you going to comment on that Zack?

The "One Day" singer, who is not Israeli but has visited the country several times wrote on Facebook that he found the festival's organizers' cancelation of his show "appalling and offensive."
"The festival organizers contacted me because they were getting pressure from the BDS movement. They wanted me to write a letter, or make a video, stating my positions on Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to pacify the BDS people. I support peace and compassion for all people. My music speaks for itself, and I do not insert politics into my music," Matisyahu wrote on facebook. He continued, "The festival kept insisting that I clarify my personal views; which felt like clear pressure to agree with the BDS political agenda. Honestly it was appalling and offensive, that as the one publicly Jewish-American artist scheduled for the festival they were trying to coerce me into political statements. Were any of the other artists scheduled to perform asked to make political statements in order to perform? No artist deserves to be put in such a situation simply to perform his or her art. Regardless of race, creed, country, cultural background, etc, my goal is to play music for all people. As musicians that is what we seek. - Blessed Love, Matis."

So are you going to show some dignity, by being humble and admit you were wrong Zack?

Wrongs stats - nobody mentioned attitudes

You said "That has to be the worst poor claim you have ever come out with Veya when Jews are one of the most persecuted groups still today around the world".

You've admitted you're wrong. So at least that's a start.

But don't try to change the goal posts and pretend you were talking about some other stats. That's just pathetic and I will expose you.

I posted antisemitism views and stats on persecution which I post again which he deliberately avoided, which makes it clear his hate for jews is that severe he annoys the evidence that place Jews as one of the most persecuted groups:

Lol! You don't even have the guts to reply to my posts.

You've already admitted that Christians are the most persecuted group around the world.

You wouldn't have until I forced you.

Oh dear as seen you just got shown up and are now yet again making the most infantile replies.

Seriously I am now laughing in your face it is that hilarious you are that desperate you cannot counter the evidence.

Would you like a ladder to help you out of the hole you are in?

Yes Christians are the most persecuted but being that Jews are in the top 3, that makes them one of the most persecuted.
Seriously, I have ladder ready just for you unless you want to stay sulking in the bottom of the pit you have dug for yourself.

Enjoy, but do my waste my time with your inane drivel

Heh, I wonder if they also boycott movies starring Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johannson.

Can you imagine Ben the outcry that an American who is of Arab ethnicity and or Muslim is told they must make a video recognizing the state of Israel or they will not be allowed to perform, even though their music has nothing to do with politics?

I don't support the boycotts on things that are not political either.

that is not what you asked
and being boycotted is still better than being shot.. let alone the fate of many Yardiz

in perspective... yes Jews have some detractors for nothing but racial reasons (yes there is anti Semitics in the world ) but so do most groups and Jews (particularly per capita) are in a much better position to defend/look after themselves than many other minority groups.
sadly white skin alone does allow them to 'blend in', the west still has a Judaeo-christian foundation thus their 'traditional outlook and social systems' are far more 'accepted' then many others... traditional nomads are much worse off  

In the face of condemnation from the Spanish government, the US embassy in Madrid, and the Spanish media, organizers of the Rototom Sunsplash music festival re-invited Matisyahu, the American Jewish reggae star dropped due to BDS pressure. Sunsplash officials wrote on the festival’s Facebook page:

Rototom Sunplash admits that it made a mistake, due to the boycott and the campaign of pressure, coercion and threats employed by the BDS País Valencià because it was perceived that the normal functioning of the festival could be threatened. All of which prevented the organization from reasoning clearly as to how to deal with the situation properly.
