Is Europe Choosing To Self-Destruct?

Europe has voluntarily begun the process of giving up its liberal and hard-fought-for freedoms. Free speech no longer exists, only -- straight out of totalitarian ideologies -- "responsible" free speech: "free" only if it does not "offend" anyone.
-
The desire of many Europeans and other self-declared devotees of "human rights" to cover up, downplay or explain away what is happening in Europe, in fact represents the opposite of respect for others and equality before the law.

Absolving such criminal behavior is not only the very opposite of justice, it is also a kind of "inverted racism" -- against its own native Europeans.

In 2014 and 2015 Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten and stalked -- just for being Jewish. Signs in the street read, "Sale Juif" ("dirty Jew"), "Death to the Jews," and "Jews to the gas." None of these side effects of Muslim immigration seems to concern the liberals, the media, or the purported defenders of human rights -- who so loudly claim to be against "racism." Or, once again in Europe, does "racism" not include Jews?
After the mass sexual assaults on New Year's Eve in the European cities of Cologne, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Bielefeld, Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Vienna, Salzburg, Zürich, Helsinki and Kalmar, it is clear that something profoundly disturbing has occurred in Europe. By Sunday, in Cologne alone, 516 women had filed criminal charges -- around 40% of them relating to sexual assaults.
The initial reactions to the sexual assaults from German authorities, the media, as well as feminists and others have not been less disturbing.
The German police first claimed, in a surreal statement the morning of Jan. 1, that the situation on New Year's Eve had been "relaxed." Cologne Police Chief Wolfgang Albers later admitted "this initial statement was incorrect" and, for his role in what appeared as a cover up, has since been forced into early retirement.
In the "mainstream media," Germany's public broadcaster, ZDF, made a decision not to report on the attacks until four days after they had occurred.
A former government official, Hans-Peter Friedrich, Chancellor Angela Merkel's interior minister from 2011 to 2013, accused the media of imposing a "news blackout" and operating a "code of silence" over negative news about immigrants: "It is a scandal that it took days for the media to pick up the reports," Mr. Friedrich said.
"Experts," feminists and liberals tried to downplay the attacks by explaining them away at all costs.
One such "expert," the German criminologist Christian Pfeiffer, described the men as "largely young, single men, who have arrived in this country and don't know what to do with themselves... The clarification of their asylum status took such a long time that their frustrations and anger only grew." This much-respected German criminologist concluded: "This is an alarm signal that we need to do more." According to him, immigrants commit crimes, but the Germans are at fault because they "need to do more."
Many feminists in Europe claimed that too much focus had been put on the criminals' "ethnicity," which these feminists alleged was "racism" -- while ignoring that Islam is not an ethnicity but a religion. This argument was championed especially by the once-hardcore feminists in Sweden and Denmark.
Social media were also rife with excuses for men who had assembled for the sole purpose of sexually assaulting female passersby in a public square. It turns out this pastime -- gang-rape -- hails from the Arab-Muslim world, and has a specific name: "Taharrush."
How does the fear of being accused of "racism" become more important than calling out gang-rape?
If any of these attempts at denial sound familiar, they should. For decades, European national authorities, liberals, and the media have either ignored, "relativized" or attempted to explain away whatever unpleasant facts accompanied Muslim mass-immigration into Europe.
The widespread sexual abuse of 1400 children by Muslim men, mainly of Pakistani origin, in Rotherham, England, for more than a decade, between 1999 and 2013, was known by the local British authorities but allowed to continue.
In Paris, Toulouse and Copenhagen, Jews were murdered by Muslims -- for just being Jews.
Imams are free to preach and incite hatred against Jews from European mosques. The imams call Jews the descendants of "apes and pigs."
The terrorist who murdered a young Jewish security guard last year in Copenhagen at a synagogue had been exposed to exactly such incitement in a local Copenhagen mosque the day before he committed the murder.
Jew-hunting season has also opened in France again, and 15,000 Jews have left the country in the past two years. Already in 2014, 75% of all French Jews were considering leaving the country.
In 2006, a young French Jew, Ilan Halimi, was held prisoner and tortured for 24 days by a gang of Muslims, then dumped, naked and handcuffed, in a field. In Europe, this story went practically unreported.
As The Atlantic wrote in April 2015, "France's 475,000 Jews represent less than 1 percent of the country's population. Yet last year, according to the French Interior Ministry, 51 percent of all racist attacks targeted Jews."
The statistics in other countries are similar. In 2014 and 2015, Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten and stalked, only for being Jews. Signs in the street read, "Sale Juif" ("dirty Jew"), "Death to the Jews," and "Jews to the gas."
None of these side-effects of Muslim immigration seems to concern liberals, the media, or the purported defenders of human rights -- who so loudly claim to be against "racism." Or, once again in Europe, does "racism" not include the Jews?
In Sweden, there were "widespread sexual assaults" by about 90 young men, mainly from Afghanistan and Syria, at a concert in Stockholm last August. The largest Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, once it was informed of the national origin of the criminals, did not want to report the story.
Only after the Cologne attacks -- five months later -- did the Swedish newspaper show interest in what happened in Stockholm last summer.

In Norway, the first statistics on rapes were revealed in 2001: incidences of rape had increased by 40% from 1999 to 2000, and 65% of all rapes were committed by non-Western immigrants (mainly Muslims). At the time, professor Unna Wikan, considered an authority on Muslims in Norway, blamed the rapes on Norwegian women. She accused them of "inviting" the rapes by acting like "Norwegian women" instead of "internalising that we live in a multicultural society and accommodat[ing] that fact. ... In most Muslim countries, it is assumed that the woman is at fault for being raped, and it is only fair that Muslim immigrants bring these kinds of opinions with them when they move to Norway."
Liberals openly admit that they do not wish to talk about what they see: "So no wonder liberals would do anything to avoid fanning these flames, since we see in all this righteous indignation a blatantly racist old trope about barbarians at the gates. We bend over backwards to report it responsibly, to moderate the frothing rage," said a British self-declared liberal about her unwillingness to talk about the Cologne attacks.
Avoiding "fanning the flames," however, turns out not to be true. Many liberals seem to have no problems "fanning the flames" of racial hatred, so long as Muslims are not at the receiving end. At the very top of their hatred are Israeli Jews. Many in the media gleefully participate with skewed, selective reporting of facts, especially in the Middle East. The European media have virtually ignored the current wave of almost daily Palestinian stabbings, shootings, car-rammings and stone-throwings -- not to mention the rocket attacks into Israel from the Gaza Strip. These attacks are aimed at innocent civilians, and are whipped up by the Palestinian Authority, with Mahmoud Abbas at the helm.
The desire of many Europeans and other self-declared devotees of "human rights" to cover up, downplay or explain away what is happening in Europe, in fact represents the opposite of what people genuinely concerned with human rights care about: respect for others and equality before the law.
When a society built on the rule of law begins to cover up criminal behavior and absolve criminals of responsibility, this only weakens and corrodes the very values it claims to want to uphold.
Absolving such criminal behavior is not only the very opposite of justice, it is also a kind of "inverted racism" -- against its own native Europeans.
As it turns out, the liberal ethos seems anything but. It is actually totalitarian in its desire to adapt reality, at all costs, to its own fantasies, agendas and "narratives." Objective truth is treated as disposable.
Europe has voluntarily begun the process of giving up its liberal and hard-fought-for freedoms. Free speech no longer exists, only -- straight out of totalitarian ideologies -- "responsible" free speech: "free" only if it does not "offend" anyone. That is not free speech; that is censored speech. Speech that does not offend anyone does not need protecting.
Religious freedom no longer exists. Jews cannot wear Jewish symbols openly anymore without serious risk of assault, and they can only assemble for prayer under heavy security. Now will real freedom for girls and women also cease to exist? After that, who will be next?

Its the Kalergi plan.
And Gatestone is a Jewish-and-Zionist neocon outfit that could not care less about the peoples of Europe.
What they care about is villifying and dehumanizing all the victims of Anglo-Zionist aggression and war crimes.
It is lamentable that ZH gives space to Gatestone. It's a jewish/neocon chickenhawk propaganda outfit - and that's basically all it is.
And you are just as bad as the Muslims who attack Jews just for being Jewish. Your nonsense empowers the actual murderers.
Your nonsense is nonsense.
Gatestone is war propaganda by right wing Jewish Zionists primarily concerned with advancing Likud's vision.
And Likud is led by actual murderers. And terrorists. And they have killed far more innocent muslims than muslims have killed innocent jews. And they let Jewish murderers of the natives go unpunished.
And they back isis and al qaeda, amongst other terror groups. All while crying about what victims they are who must reluctantly bomb hospitals and nursing homes and UN posts to avoid a second genocide.... gatestone blindly and reflexively supports anything Israel does and is comprised of Zionists more loyal to Israel than the US - or basic human decency.
They are a propaganda mill not taken seriously, at all, in the FP community.
And they fully support killing non jews just for being not jewish on land 'jews' want.
So spare me.
Sell your Potemkin outrage and hasbara hyperbole elsewhere. If you don't like blunt but accurate summaries of the motives of chickenhawk warmongers acting out of tribal and foreign loyalty, perhaps the problem is your relationship with tolerance of facts.
Your response is absurd.
And sophomoric.

We have a recent example of a high civilization with a function democracy that allowed itself to believe in a mono-cultural ideology.

This time is different, of course.
All networks are bent, because those who pay for them have an agenda. There is nobody without an agenda. But that doesn't mean that gatestone. rt, or whtaver does not have verifyable info which you cannot get elsewhere.
I have followed the issue of German public broadcasters being bent for a while. There is even a new organisation who goes after ZDF and ARD and their bent reporting. From what has been described they are not any different to the Hitler and Stalin media with the Murdoch media catching up fast.
In the meantime, multicultural israhell is inviting tens of thousands of muslim refugees and tearing down walls and separation fences.
Well dont you get it?
When Europeans are concerned with maintaining their identity its racism.
When Jews do it, it is sacred, and racist 'joo hate' to criticize at all, let alone any mention of the hypocrisy of the Barbara Specters and Alan Shatters of the world.
When did pointing out hypocrisy become 'hate'? Who is so stupid as to agree with such a notion?
http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.675475
Can you imagine what the media would do if a European leader said the sort of thing Nutty Yahoo has? He has people in his admin that have literally called for genocide - yet Likud and Shas are not labelled as 'far right' in every other sentence like Golden Dawn or France's National Front.
The hypocrisy is as ostentatious as it is shameless.
They don't like being called hypocrites. Its "do as we say, not as we do", don't you know?
They like ad hominems because it makes it seem like neither side has logical points to argue, so 'neither is right'. So they try best they can to drag you into a name-calling back-and-forth.
you don't have to go all the way to nutandyahoo. all you have to do is listen to the rabbis rail against mixed marriages and read the stories of the discrimination endured by goy converts. the only reason they hide their intense hate of christians is because they depend on the money and support of stupid evangelicals and other deluded christians. the muslims are an easy target.
"Maintaining their identity".
Interesting concept, that. As an engineer, I like measurrments. How do I measure my identity? If I can't measure it, I can't know whether it has changed. Ditto for the society.
Also, suppose I want to change my identity? Am I free to do so, in this society maintaining its identity? Hair style through religion through choice of armaments, Harley Hawg vs Rice Burner, 2 cycle vs 4, .. so many identities people can chose from. And then TV, and movies, and all sorts of political and educational and life-style choices and sexual kinks, and ...That will all be OK?
Does your 'maintaining your identity' in anyway prevent me from maintaining mien?
Details like this are the thing that is the concern for those of us who like our multi-cultural world. We aren't worried about a few million Muslims or Mormons or Buddhists concentrated in big cities, we are worried about what you think you need to do to protect yourself from them.
All over the world, there are large mixed populations living together as peacefully as people can do that, contrary to the complete idiocy I see in comments every time another Gatestone article comes along.
"The imams call Jews the descendants of "apes and pigs."
The pots calling the kettles black. The imams themselves may be descendants of "apes and pigs." According to the geneticist, Dr. Eugene M. McCarthy, PhD, we all come from chimpanzee+pig hybrids:

A wise man on ZH once said Europe would be in flames before America even farted.
Exhibit A in flames. (Canada is exhibit B)
I smell a big one coming.
If you think Canada ia anywhere close to exploding in flames, you have no idea about Canada or Canadians. Which is fairly obvious. Stick to your knitting you American slathering slob.
If you do not FIGHT for what is yours, it will not long be yours.
Must be interesting, the world you live in. As a prepper, I am interested in your experience with fighting for what is yours.
Home or apt? Do you have to fight both in and out? Serious fire-fight, or sniper fire?
Do you own a car? Have to fight for it every day, or is this episoidc? Body armour? How often have you been wounded?
The "liberals" are simply playing their game of using any means to destroy the society in which they live. Some infections invite antibodies and crave resistance. It is not the rot that surprises but the failure of wood to regenerate or resist. western society is rotten because it fails to resist infection
"Destroy the society in which they live".
One of the causes of hyperbolation is too-simple cognitive and conceptual units. If you upgrade those, it reduces strain on your language units.
It's always about the pwer pwr Jews. At any rate, a race whose men are too feminized to protect their women and children deserves to go extinct, so I laugh at the Europeans - but not too hard - they have plenty of counter parts in the USSA.
"deserves to go extinct, so I laugh at the Europeans"
Do you rub you hands together in order to enjoy the killing of more goyim and further enriching yourselves of power and wealth?
awwww, but feminism says women can protect and defend themselves. if they ever become women again i will gladly help defend them.
The base problem with your statement is the extreme simplicity of the mind that made it.
"The Jews" is a group that contains a person of every single characteristic enjoyed by any other such collective, e.g. "The Spanish" or even "The Eskimos".
"Too feminized to protect their women and children" seems contradicted by the many men and women walking the streets of Israel with full-auto weapons on their shoulders and auto pistols on their belt.
"I laugh at the Europeans". I laugh at the statement, so difficult to take seriously.
Yes, indeed, any statement containing a collective as large as "The Europeans" has ... above.
Hasbara, or idiot? You need not only choose one category.
Let's face it, if a person doesn't have blue eyes, send it to the guillotines!!!
Uh, white people have almost every eye color known to men.
You sound kike a jew (double negative).
I actually took his statement for zh standard irony, not even particuarly black.
Yours, otoh, is an example of Poe's Law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
I thought da joos controlled the media.
another article by a jew advocating the annhilation of muslims as a good thing but thinks anyone who wishes the annihilation of jews to be some kind of ogre.
you can't have it both ways. if you think one side should be annihilated then it is fair for the other side to wish your annihilation.
i think zionazis should be annihilated in defense of me, therefore it is fair for them to think i should be annihilated. come and get me before i get you. you will lose because whatever happens to me i have the truth and righteousness on my side. you only have evil as your ally.
"Self-destruction" implies that the people are doing it just like us leaving our southern border open. We don't want it, they don't want it, but the "leaders" have all been bought off by the NWO gang.
In truth, it would be appropriate for the people to rise up and hang all of them before it's to late. Prepare the guillotines and ropes!
FUCK JEWS AND ZIO-NAZI PATSIES.
EUROPE IS DONE EITHER WAY, BY DESIGN.
WTF THIS KIND ARTICLE ON ZH..
Poland, Czech Rep. and Hungary; plus some minors like Catalunya will oppose.
Slavonic people are not dead yet.
So by the logic of the liberal idiots in Europe, if I convert to Islam I can rape any girl I find attractive and it's OK? Or is it negated by my White "privilege"?
Europe, as we know it, is not choosing to commit suicide. It is being murdered in broad daylight, by people who judge Europe's Christians to have become more trouble and expense than they're worth as debt-slaves.
And no---if there will be no place for Christians in whatever replaces Christian Europe, there will be no place for Jews. Why anyone thinks the Jewish people have anything to gain from Europe's destruction is beyond me.
Fortunately for the Jews, they have an advantage they did not have in 1933---a Jewish state with a nuclear deterrent sufficient to make Europe's murderers think twice before trying to do the same to Israel, and where Jews can rest assured their right to life, liberty and the free practice the faith of their fathers will be respected, come what may.
It's the Christian peoples of Europe who won't have anywhere to go once their homelands fall into Muslim hands.
Did you manage to read all the way through that load of tripe?
Let's cut to the quick shall we? Why is there a refugee / migrant invasion of Europe and who is ultimately responsible?
It sure as hell isn't the average European. It's the folks who have been pursuing Regime change in the Middle East and those who purposely prop up the likes of the House of Saud and give aid and comfort to their local associates. Including billions of dollars worth of arms sales and free nuclear submarines.
Ring any bells?
Some say support for the Saudi's is because of what would take their place if they were deposed. I suppose that could be a real concern after having supported a violent and totalitarian regime based on 7th century idelogy and governance for so long. Especially when those in charge don't follow the restrictions of said ideology and spare themselves no Western comforts nor excesses.
I assume a certain number of articles from Gatestone Institute every month is payback for the sin of allowing open 9/11 FF conversations?
Otherwise they cut off your advertising?
Googled Gatestone Institute, and this what comes up in the first response.

Ambassador John R. Bolton, Chairman"Need to know anything else?
One of Donald Trump's foreign policy advisors, did you know?
I knew he said he would seek Bolton's advice and valued it. Frankly I don't think he knows much about foreign affairs, but does know a lot about what works in Reality TV.
First of all one must look who are those people who claim to be Syrian war refugees.
At least half of them are low life, criminals, thieves, murderers; terrorist related or just for profit from MENA countries who flocked to Syria, Iraq attracted by stench of death and opportunity to get rich quick, now fleeing from the national crime scene with their money fearing Syrian and Russian retribution. They are those who have at least $5k a person to pay European smugglers.
They do not intend to settle in Europe but simply make more money of their criminal trade and while at it impose their Islamic culture (brutal secular culture taken over by Islamic ideology) which treats free, individual woman as a dirt as long as she would not submit to a man, husband or family member, open to rape and intimidation or even execution. And I am not talking ISIL or Wahhabi ideology but common moderate Islamic communities including those in Europe and US.
It alone is a direct attack of Western tradition of liberalism and individual freedom. There is no such a thing as independent woman in MENA societies. Unfortunately, assault on rights of women is also increased from Christian right that pushes in the same direction.

In German language comments many people say 'what are these people who come to Germany but leave their woman and children behind in the wars?'
There is an Arabian expression, which I have failed to find again, that it is normal (and happened in Egypt) to subject women to collective harrassment, i.e. groups of men surround one woman and then they do what a proper upbringing would have said not to do.
Europe has chosen to self destruct....about 20 years ago actually.
Read "America Alone". This stuff has been on the table for a while now.

We will not resolve anything by constantly pointing to the Jews. What needs to be done is convince Goldman & Sachs to use their global network something productive AND peaceful. They are probably the most influential network on the globe and if they have any sense of responsibility they'd use it to arrest the slide into WWIII.
quote from the article " As The Atlantic wrote in April 2015, "France's 475,000 Jews represent less than 1 percent of the country's population. Yet last year, according to the French Interior Ministry, 51 percent of all racist attacks targeted Jews." .
But the Atlantic did no tell the readers that those 475.000 jews select the French President thanks to the control they have of the Newspapers and Charlie Hebdo .
Sarkozy a Jew and Hollande a Zionist and probably a crypto Jew . How can it be explained that in a country with a population of over 60 millions a tiny minority elects 2 consecutive French presidents ?
The reamainig Jews will do well in escaping soon , because the people no longer believe in the fables of the SHOAH and they see every day the criminality of the State of Israel in Palestine . The wheel turns ....
