At a street festival in Hanover, Germany, a Jewish dance troupe was stoned by Arab youths who yelled anti-Semitic slurs through a megaphone during the attack. There were nine attackers of which six have been caught. Five of the attackers were Arabic immigrants to Germany. Just in case the attack itself was not bad enough, the ages of some of the attackers were as young as nine years old.
While the Jews were the targets this time in part due to the Turkish flotilla incident in which the Israelis were basically sucker punched by the “humanitarians” on board the vessels, any other non-Muslim religion is at risk now or at some point in the future. To think otherwise is just plain naive.
Said Stephen Kramer of the Central Council of Jews in Germany in a statement to the AP, “This latest incident shows something we have not experienced before: A growing radicalization of young Muslims, which affects not only the Jewish community but the entire German community.”
The last statement above illustrates the danger not only to Jews in Germany, but here in the United States as well. Anti-Semitism as well as Islamic fundamentalism are certainly present in the United States now, and this situation will most likely not be abating in the future.
For Americans to maintain an egocentric view on the world and world events will only serve to create the situation where we wake up one day and say, “how did this happen here?” We know how it can happen here through such things as constant appeasement. Vigilance is key on the part of not only our leaders, police and soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well.
