ADL Notes Anti-Jewish Sentiment in Europe
39% of Europeans believe Jews have too much power in the business world.
44% of Europeans think Jews have too much power in international financial markets.
47% of Europeans believe Jews dwell too much on the Holocaust.
51% of Europeans believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than their country.
20% of Europeans blame Jews for the death of Jesus.
25% of Europeans said their opinions of Jews are influenced by Israel's actions.
52% of Europeans said their opinions of Jews are worse because of Israel's actions.
These are statistics generated by the Anti-Defamation League. ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said: "Millions of Europeans continue to accept a wide range of traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes and conspiracy theories, including the charge that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their home country. These attitudes help incite and legitimize anti-Semitism, including violence against Jews, and give us great concern."
It seems the Europeans also have "great concern," Mr. Foxman. Maybe that's why Jewish elites are pushing to make trivializing or questioning the Holocaust a crime punishable by three years in jail. Maybe that's why hate crime legislation is so important right now.
Why bring this up on the Chalcedon blog? Simple. If the positions of power currently held by Jews in the areas of banking, investment, entertainment, news media, the justice system, lobbying, setting defense policy, etc., were held by conservative Christians, the Christophobics would be marching in the streets over the religious tyranny. All to say, why is nothing said about Jewish control over these important spheres, and such a fuss is made over Christian influence in culture? Might it be the threat of being labeled "anti-semitic?" Does any secular critic fear being labeled a "Christophobic?" Of course not. They would embrace it!
If you question the story of the Holocaust, you could go to jail. But, as Michael Hoffman points out, you can produce movies that deny Jesus ever existed (The God Who Wasn't There), and you receive plenty of press coverage. The L.A. Times called the movie "provocative."
It goes to show the bias against Christianity and the influence of Christians. That only goes to demonstrate that men hate God, and will not be ruled by Him. It's not only a "Jewish conspiracy," that's complained about today--it's a "Christian conspiracy." When will an ADL for Christians begin?
