Commenting on deadly attacks in Catalonia, the chief rabbi of that region in Spain said that his community is doomed, partly because of radical Islam and authorities’ alleged reluctance to confront it.

More at the link above. Jews are already leaving France. Now Spain?

Everyone wants the Jews to leave their country. The same ones who want Jews to leave their country, hate Israel and pine for its destruction. Conclusion: They want the Jews gone.

So, to me, it doesn't matter whether they identify as right or left or center or alt-right or moderate, what I am seeing from more than a few is "the Jew" is still a thorn in their side and they may not agree on much, but they agree on their hate of the Jews. I guess I have to 'hashtag' and say "not all X, Y, and Zs" lest someone get their fee-fees hurt.

So what they are saying is: stop being Jewish. Ignore your history, your family line, your culture and customs, and maybe change your name.

They expect us to do their dirty work and purge ourselves. Well, this Jew will not do it!
