I remember seeing a Jewish couple (He was wearing a yarmulke) walking around Amman, Jordan years ago. They looked like tourists. Nobody seemed to care.

Can you back that up in any way? Or is it just what you hear from fear-mongering News outlets?

Arabs in the middle east are less radicalized than european-arab youths who are in some instances angry, unemployed and treated as second class citizens... (many find in radicalism a way of life)

How is that fear mongering?

use your head a bit, not everything has to be backed up by the media!

the fact is there is a conflict between the two religions in the middle east and that tends to reflect on the behavior of many radicalized arabs living in european ghettos, a jewish with a yarmulke on walking around some parts of certain european cities wouldn't be very good as far as an idea

To be honest, I think that the conflict in Europe that you are portraying is overblown by the media. Is Europe (or any part of the world) completely free of anti-semitism? Of course not. Heck, they even get harassed in Israel. But do Jews in Brussels, Marseille, Colone, ... live in constant fear? Definitely not. The great majority lives a peaceful live just like anywhere else.

Stories of no-go zones for Jews and Christians have been debunked for quite a while now... Irene, I beg you to stop speaking about things you have no idea about. Or else Ariete has to post some Facebook photos of you again

like an ostrich, let's hide our heads in the sand and pretend everything is ok


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AltyhmrIFgo

851 anti-jewish attacks in France in one year (All of them reported to the police)

But hey, let's just focus on the bright side of things, that will solve EVERYTHING!

No wonder half the middle east is already taking over some of the most important European cities
1. Too much political correctness
2. Too many mental masturbation with utopias filled with flying unicorns and rainbows
3. NOT ENOUGH BALLS TO OWN UP TO THE SITUATION.

Rest my case.

I guess you should just come to Europe for once and have a look at the bad neighbourhoods yourself...

Same kind of video in Berlin: Ich bin mit einer Kippa durch Berlin gelaufen | VICE | Deutschland not a single reaction. Not even in *gasp* Neukölln and Kreuzberg. I guess the Muslims there are just too PC for being anti-Semitic.

I am in Europe right now and I have been to neighborhoods where women are not safe because of the "local muslims", I also have gay friends who tell me stories of how they're harassed by local muslims!

BTW I am mostly talking about North Africans, since my experience with muslims in Europe resumes to them. I don't know about Turkish in Austria. (I only went to Vienna once and to do tourist things)

Palestinian youth in the West Bank and Gaza are indoctrinated by their government, through the educational system and the media, to hate Israel (their neighbour) and the Jews.

This may have been the case years ago (regarding hatred for all Jews), but the new generation of Palestinians are realizing that it is not all Jews that are involved in the occupation, but only the ones who staunchly support Zionism. Especially considering the fact that there are large numbers of Jewish-American activists that are outspokenly pro-Palestinian. And Palestinians know this.

And Israel is not their "neighbor", it is their "occupier". Would your "neighbor" put up a fence with barbwire around your house, and restrict you from leaving unless they aloud it? Don't think so.
