Worldwide Antisemitic Boycotts of Israel. Shame and Blame List.

Antisemitic madness and the anti-Jewish obsession, aka Jewhate, are a European domain. Europe cannot tolerate a vigorous and successful Jewry. One could argue that Europe is the most antisemitic continent in the world.

The reasons are manifold and deserve a separate discussion. Here, the most important boycotts, both formal and informal, will be listed.

As can be seen, Europe is the leading antisemitic continent. The Arab-Islamic and Islamic world need not be considered here. On the one hand, it offers no relevant events; on the other hand, Arab-Muslim Jew-hatred does not require any emphasis. It is well known.

Since the founding of the State of Israel, the Arab-Islamic world has been trying to destroy the State of Israel and exterminate all Jews (genocide). This has been done with significant support from Europe (EU, Germany, France, UK, Italy, etc.) and the socialist world (China, Soviet Union, etc.). The details of this are a separate topic that will not be discussed here.

Israel is experiencing the greatest wave of antisemitic hatred ever seen under the leadership of Europe’s left-wing deep-state globalism of social democratic (US Dems, SPD, etc.) and left-wing extremist, woke parties (Greens, etc.), and Islam in all its political guises – Muslim Brotherhood (Qatar, Turkey), jihadism (ISIS, etc.), Arab-Islamic fascism (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc.). The details of this are a separate topic, not discussed here.

Never has the hatred against Israel and Jews been greater than it is now. In the free world, this hatred is fueled, even supported, by the media and so-called NGOs. Both are grossly financed by tax money. Below is a non-exhaustive list of current formal and informal boycotts against Israel.

The List – The bad and uglies

Protests and public pressure led Gadot to opt out of attending, effectively limiting Israeli representation. La Biennale di Venezia, the festival organiser, did not formally ban Israelis, but bowed to the activist-driven disruptions, which created a significant barrier to participation.

What can Israel do? Win the war quickly and decisively and declare sovereignty over Aza, Judea, Shomron and Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount. Expel all Arab-muslim occupiers of Jewish land. Create facts on the ground.

The price is cheap. Maybe Israel will face some more boycotts in Europe, some more angry media and some more Stalinist “Greta NGOs”. Forget it. However, Europe is not relevant anymore.

Those boycotts are not nice, but in essence, irrelevant. Europe is a weak, woke continent. Europe needs Israel’s arms, weapons and innovations. Not the other way round. Fact.

Israel should not take further notice and shouldn’t orient its policy according to what some mad leftists in the fallen capitals of Europe think.

Europe boycotts? OK, bring it on. Israel should close their embassies or downgrade them. Europe is done. And Europe knows it.
