Arutz Sheva Columnist Implies Europe Deserved Terrorism Because of the Holocaust

Here's the first column Arutz Sheva published after the ghastly terrorist attacks by ISIL sympathizers in Brussels in which 31 innocent people were murdered. It was written by an American Jewish writer.

It is all quite awful. What is going on? Here’s but one idea.

Historically, Europeans mobs and European leaders either led or were passively complicit in the systematic and perpetual pogroms of Jews and thereafter in the Nazi murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust.

Jews were the non-violent and assimilated Semites.

Today, the politically correct descendants of these Europeans are facing a terrible karmic destiny. They have reaped a whirlwind of violent, hostile, and unassimilated Semites--our cousins, the Muslims, or, if you will, the Islamists. (Not all Muslims are Islamists or even Islamist Jihadists but neither are they risking their lives to stop these evil-doers). (March 22, 2016.)

It is safe to assume the vast majority of victims in ISIL's terrorist attacks in Brussels were born after 1945.

Many years ago I read a book published by this person. I was quite impressed by it. We must always oppose all forms of racism including anti-Semitism. But when I recently learned that this author wrote for Arutz Sheva I suspected the author would say something disappointing. That trepidation just proved to be correct.

Arutz Sheva is a far right media outlet in Israel that caters for national religious Israeli Jews. It is closely associated with the settlers. Its headquarters are in Beit El, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

Arutz Sheva is often quoted by PCG and to a somewhat lesser extent by UCG, LCG and RCG. It is never criticized by the COGs. The COGs trust Arutz Sheva. They have never bothered explaining to their readers the political stance Arutz Sheva tends to take.

Many Israeli Jews are nothing like those who write for Arutz Sheva.
