How long before liberal Jews, so prevelant in the Bay Area, understand that their very liberalism is encouraging and facilitating their own destruction?
From today’s “J”:
Jewish man knocked unconscious in Paris metro

MARSEILLE, France (JTA)—A Jewish man was attacked and rendered unconscious in a Paris metro, a local watchdog reported.
The 52-year-old victim entered the subway directly from his synagogue but wore no markings that would identify him as Jewish, according to a report on the late September incident by the National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA, a nonprofit watchdog organization. The incident occurred on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
He may have been targeted because of a Jewish philosophy book by the chief rabbi of Paris that he was reading in the metro when he was attacked, the report said.
The attackers, who are unknown, knocked the man unconscious with a sharp blow to his temple and did not steal anything from him as he lay unconscious on the subway floor. He sustained minor injuries.
A female passenger found the man lying on the floor and moved him out of the vehicle at Miromesnil station, near Champs-Elysees.
“It is clear from the pattern of incidents we are seeing that this was in all likelihood an anti-Semitic attack,” BNVCA President Sammy Ghozlan told JTA.
Last week, the security unit of France’s Jewish community, SPCJ, reported a 45 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents during the first eight months of 2012 in comparison with their 2011 level of 266 incidents. SPCJ also reported three separate attacks that occurred during the High Holidays.

It’s not just Islamism which is threatening Jews and Judaism world-wide. It’s leftism, with its division and understanding of the world according to race, gender and class. Obama’s antipathy to Israel has to be understood in these terms. And one has to look no further than UC, Berkeley to find open antagonism of Jews by faculty and students alike.
It isn’t just Islam which is the enemy of Jews. It is leftism, with its calls for boycott, divestment and sanctions, so popular among academics, intellectuals, entertainers and the cultural elite, especially in Europe, especially in Britain.
As an example, it isn’t just the Muslims of Malmo, Sweden, but the cultural elite of Sweden.

Swedish government body funding book on Israeli ‘apartheid’
via jta.org
(JTA)—The Swedish Arts Council is sponsoring and distributing a new book which presents Israel as a racist entity comparable to apartheid South Africa.
The council, a government body, has allocated $8,985 toward publishing and distributing “The bride is beautiful but she is married to another man – Zionism—an ideology at the end of the road?”, the council told JTA this week. The decision was made last month.
The book by Ingmar Karlsson, a retired senior Swedish diplomat, states: “The fundamental difference between South African and Zionist colonialism is the former wanted land and people while the latter only wanted land.”
Published earlier this year, the book also states that in Israel—where Arabic is an official state language—“Hebrew has a special status, with no consideration” for Arabic as “the area’s original language.”
A committee of the council selected the book out of 1,600 applications for its “high quality in terms of content, from both a technical and editorial viewpoint” and “the reliability of the facts,” among other considerations, Maria Agren of the council wrote in an email to JTA.
The book contains a quote attributed to Theodor Herzl which the Stockholm-based Swedish Israel Information Center claims is a forgery: “It is essential that the sufferings of Jews become worse. This will assist in the realization of our plans. I have an excellent idea. I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth.”
Lisa Abramowicz, the center’s secretary general, has said the book reminded her of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Contacted by phone by JTA, Karlsson declined to comment to these claims. Last month, in a letter to the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, he said the quote appeared on True Torah Jews—an anti-Semitic website which describes actions by Adolf Hitler as a “direct response to the declaration of war on Germany by the worldwide Jewish leadership.”
