[quote]Non-Jewish people must take the lead in defeating antisemitism across Europe, the shadow foreign secretary, Douglas Alexander, has said, as he expressed fears about the "deeply troubling" prospect of successes for the far right in next year's European parliamentary elections.
Speaking after he toured the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, Alexander said all of humanity had a responsibility to tackle antisemitism, and silence was the "co-conspirator of evil".
Alexander, a member of the Church of Scotland, said: "The task of confronting and defeating antisemitism is not the responsibility of the Jewish community. It is the responsibility of every one of us. To deny that is to deny our common humanity."[/quote]

It's not the average joe's fault if a bunch of uneducated dipshits hate on a religion at random.

he didnt say take the blame
Non-Jews must lead fight?
How about do it yourself.
I've said for years that the holocaust wouldn't have happened if the jews simply adapted a warrior life style.
Look at Israel now.

Indifference = antisemitism.
Not having an emotional attachment and a part of it everyday of your life = antisemitism

That's how democracy works if they're elected. 50.2 percent or a split coalition = majority rule.
tyranny of the majority is the reason constitutions and human rights and shit like that exists
antisemitism is as ingrained in european culture as antiziganism. its impossible to confront it when we have no understanding of ideology that drives that kind of racism.

I can change a noun to see how things go:

Fact is, you aren't going to get improvement unless everybody is aware of painful realities in the past, such as that Europeans used to own people.

That makes no sense whatsoever, and Israel would be a pile of shambles and ash right now if it wasn't for the US backing the country.

This is an absolutely batshit retarded thing to say.

Well they're trying, but the idea is that they need other people from other groups to help fight intolerance.
But what if an extremist party forms from Anti-Anti-jew non-jew anti-nazi pro-jews?
Antisemitism needs to end. We must do what we can to eradicate it.

[editline]14th November 2013[/editline]
it's still one of the most fashionable prejudices people can have. hell, even in the usa antisemitic talk is pretty high.

That was taken completely out of context, and worded wrong.
And yeah, Israel kind of fucking does represent the Jewish people.

It wont take over thought because the average joe, which is called that for a reason, wont turn into an extremist cunt.

How does Israel represent Jewish people? What the hell are you talking about?
Have you ever met a Jewish person?
