Ilmar Reepalu and his Malmo
I have written several pieces on the anti-Semitism rampant in Malmo, Sweden (and other parts of Europe). Immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa, plus the hostility of the city's mayor, Ilmar Reepalu are driving Jews out of the city in droves. Paulina Neuding has written an article on the plight of Malmo's Jews in the Journal of the Turkish Weekly (with an introduction by Chanah Shapira in Israel, Sweden and the Jews).

As Neuding points out, it is all too convenient for Europeans to paint the situation on mutual combat between Jews and Muslims. That seems to be the spin that Reepalu would like to put on it. That is not the case, however. Jews are not going out on the streets and attacking Muslims or their places of worship. Where is there a comparable case where Muslim children have been mowed down in a schoolyard (as in Toulouse) by a Jewish gunman.Where is there a comparable case where a young Muslim man was kidnapped and tortured over days (as in Paris) then murdered by a gang of Jews?

How much easier would it have been for the Europeans if Jews were being persecuted by white Europeans (which, in some cases is the case)? Then they could call a spade a spade. But when the majority of the attacks are committed by another minority, then it becomes more complicated.
To the Europeans anyway.
It's all political correctness, and it has infected Europe just as much as it has infected North America. What it means is that not even the truth can be told.
