European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said Thursday that “in the last couple of years you’ve seen this age-old monster come up again in Europe.”
Speaking before a conference on religious intolerance, he said: “This is unacceptable. I thought we knew better. I wouldn’t have thought it would be possible … but it’s happening again.”
The EU’s fundamental rights agency says that anti-Semitic stereotyping is a reality in many countries and that some EU political parties are openly anti-Semitic.
Timmermans said that “it’s a vital question for the future of Europe that our Jewish community feels at ease and completely at home.”
We need to teach our kids how to carry weapons and to defend themselves.
Nice talking, now let’s see what will be done to it, zilch
Such a genius! I never would have noticed!
I’d like to know who is driving this anti-Semitism – white Christians or Muslims?
Wow! What an incredible revelation!
Who would have possibly guessed?
Like someone else who received the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, Mr. Timmerman should be awarded a prize.
With all of Europe gradually but surely becoming Muslim, how could hatred of Jews have possibly happened?
Why any Jew would want to live in any part of Europe except the UK baffles me.
