Should they move to Israel? You think that's safer? Where else...Beijing? I mean, come on...get real.

They live in Europe because European life is pretty damn awesome.
It probably has a lot to do with the fact that these Jews were born in Europe, their parents-Grandparents & their Grandparents were also born there.

Ok.

Still, Europe is an awesome place to live. I'm not making this up. I lived there myself and I know first-hand.

The French Army in 1940 was leaps and bounds more advanced than the Germans, they just lacked the tactical foresight to use their advantages.

The French are not cowards, they just have weak leaders ... like Hollande, Petain, etc.
First i said "eruo-trash" not french.... so I would argue that the strain of cowardice extends thru all of western Europe. The Eastern Eruos suffered under the USSR to know better than be cowards....


and yes some frenchmen are/were really good folk. Ive actually met some.... in their country....


I would say the same about 1960s America. mostly cowards. enough so to cause America to lose a war. That doesnt mean I would suggest every American was. I have two uncles who served in Vietnam. Neither were/are cowards.


So yea, bunch a great francophiles. still Europe is led by and populated by idiots who love Marx and are cowards to the core.

They are wrong? Based on what? You do not LIVE there, they do. What kind of objective reasoning is that? It is their perceptions, right or wrong, that are the issue. Btw, Europe is nice, but does that make me want to move back to Sweden? No.

Again, Vietnam was a "defeat" because of weak leaders. We had them whipped by 1972, instead the politicians back home wimped out.

Hollande is a fool. Of all Muslim leaders, What was he thinking when he put Netanyahu and Abbas as bookends on the front line of the march. What does Abbas represent??

Actually, I love it. And as close to Socialism that will work, the system does have it's positives. High taxes though. But the difference in Sweden as compared to the United States is you really do get what your taxes pay for. They tax you for the Victoria Secret undies but unlike the U.S. they won't hand you the Walmart panties. I still prefer the United States though. In spite of it's flaws, it is a great place to live.

at the demands of the cowards in control of the babyboomers.



i dont think we utterly disagree but you arent going to change from the position that europe has a mindset that 1. wants to hate jews and 2. fears muslims enough to hate jews because murderous muslims are demanding they hate jews and that their murderous rampages are the jews fault.

you arent going to get me to move from the idea that while Eruope has been led by idiots those idiots are in power because the people elect them (kinda like the good old USA). Eruopes leaders have been cowards. they were in the cold war they are now. the people keep electing those idiots... ergo...
