Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is exploiting the murderous attack on a synagogue in Copenhagen yesterday to propagandize the Jewish state.
He did so at his Cabinet meeting today and on twitter here:
To the Jews of Europe and to the Jews of the world I say ‘Israel is the home of every Jew, Israel is waiting for you with open arms’.
Israel’s ready for you:
We say to Jews, our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home. We are preparing & calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe.
He plays prognosticator:
This wave of terrorist attacks – including murderous anti-Semitic attacks – is expected to continue.
Denmark’s chief rabbi has rejected the calls. From the JTA:
Denmark’s chief rabbi rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for European Jews to move to Israel in the wake of a terror attack on a Copenhagen synagogue.
“Terror is not a reason to move to Israel,” said Denmark Chief Rabbi Jair Melchior said Sunday.
H.A. Hellyer gets it right: “As a European, I take exception to anyone claiming my fellow citizens ought to leave Europe. Our continent would lose out.” And this tweet: “Netanyahu really ought to stop making declarations upon Europe’s Jews as though he were the Caliph of all Jews.”
Max Blumenthal points out that Netanyahu’s appeal to Danes is a reversal of the legacy of the great Swedish diplomat Folke Bernadotte, who saved so many Danish Jews from the Nazis during the second world war and who was later murdered by a gang led by Yitzhak Shamir in Jerusalem in 1948 because as UN mediator, Bernadotte was recommending that Jerusalem be internationalized. Netanyahu’s Likud party is a political heir to Shamir/Begin and the Revisionists.
Netanyahu has lately been blasted by some American Jews for saying that he’s coming to Washington to speak against Iran next month “not just as the prime minister of Israel but as a representative of the entire Jewish people.”
Alan Brownfeld writes of Netanyahu’s earlier appeals:
Sadly, the Israeli government seems not to recognize that Jewish Americans are not “Israelis in exile.” Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly called upon American Jews to make a “mass aliyah” (immigration) to Israel.
No other foreign government argues that millions of Americans, because of their religion, are in “exile” in the United States and that their real “homeland”or “nation-state” is that foreign country. Israel should be content to be the nation of its own citizens, whether they are Jewish, Christian or Muslim.
indisputable facts about the current situation:
1. zionism backfired, hurting jewish minorities everywhere
2. every action has a counteraction, basic law of nature
3. zionism/bibi made jews unsafe everywhere including occupied palestine
4. demographics is a darn stubborn inconvenient thing that you can’t beat
5. zionists are running out of jews to coerce into moving to occupied palestine
6. nutnyahoo-dermer stunt caused irreparable damage that can’t be unrung
a. cynical plot sunk the “smart” duo into permanent ill-repute
b. americans are incensed about the zionists insulting the presidency
c. democratic politicos and zionist supporters are disgusted
d. even some republicans are not happy
e. aipac got battered either for being stupid or being out of the loop
f. cynic plot plays into the hands of iran, speech or not
g. moslems/arabs get another proof-point that usa is in zionist pocket
h. usa prestige standing and influence globally got battered
i. usa as unquestionable supporter and unsc/political cover is crumbling
j. europe will accelerate pro-palestinian moves and bds support
with enemies like that, who needs friends!
(just joking, we thank ALL the friends that we have and we need all the NEW friends that we can get)

I’m re-posting here because it is appropriate:
“Israel’s most prominent Danish Jew expressed shock today at the terror attack that killed a Jewish security guard outside a Copenhagen synagogue on Saturday night.
“Unfortunately, when terror comes closer to you, it hits stronger and feels more terrible,” said Rabbi Michael Melchior, a former politician whose brother is the executive director of the Danish Jewish community and whose son its chief rabbi. Melchior, who was chief rabbi of Norway before immigrating to Israel in 1986, traces his family back 350 years in Denmark.
Known for his moderate political views, Melchior criticized government leaders for responding to Sunday’s terror attack with calls for Danish Jews to immigrate to Israel. “I don’t like when this is the automatic reaction from Israeli politicians,” he told Haaretz. “I think it is not an appropriate reaction. We have a prime minister who says Israel is about to come under an attack of terrible dimensions, and at the same time says that everyone should run away from there to come here. I don’t even want to go into this way of thinking. I think that the answer to terror is to fight it wherever it is.”
…
Today, he published a joint statement with Sheikh Abdullah Nimer Darwish, the founder of the Islamic Movement in Israel, condemning the terror attack in Copenhagen. “We stress, that only through cooperative religious efforts will we isolate the perpetrators and eradicate religious hate,” the statement said. Melchior and Darwish are the founders of Religious Peace Initiative, an organization that works with Jewish and Muslim religious leaders to promote peace.”

“Danes are the last folks that are going to heed his call to emigrate to Israel! This egotistical, monomaniacal, self- proclaimed king of the Jews must not be aware of the history of the Danes in WW2, and of the Resistance under Nazi Occupation! Or, he simply doesn’t care.” – See more at: https://mondoweiss.mystagingwebsite.com/2015/02/demolish-houses-jerusalem#sthash.cxYR5xXq.dpuf
Why didn’t Netanyahu mention the non- Jew that was killed or the 5 Danish police officers that were wounded???

“The gunman believed to have attacked a Copenhagen synagogue and a free speech event on Saturday was a Danish-born 22-year-old known to police because of past violence, gang-related activities and possession of weapons, officers have said.
Police said they had identified the man, who was killed in an early-morning shootout on Sunday, but did not release his name.”

“This wave of terrorist attacks – including murderous anti-Semitic attacks – is expected to continue.”
With clearing skies and more moderate temperatures later in the week.
“Why didn’t Netanyahu mention the non-Jew that was killed or the 5 Danish police officers that were wounded???”
– Good question. But if its not Jews its not news.
– “This wave of terrorist attacks – including murderous anti-Semitic attacks – is expected to continue”. Seriously? Sounds like he knows something we don’t.
I don’t trust that these are just spontaneous acts. I keep thinking about the burning of the Reichstag, the downing of Rwandan president Habyarimana’s plane (blamed on Tutsi’s) as the signal to begin the genocide of Tutsis, the USS Liberty, the assasination of Rabin (and the rise of Netanyahu)…all of these events were the prelude to something horrible. And it sounds like the answer to Netanyahu’s prayer – a mass migration to the borderless, boundaryless, unscrupulous magical land of the zionists. Without enough jobs for the people already living here. I guess the newcomers will all work for http://www.hasbara.com.
“This wave of terrorist attacks – including murderous anti-Semitic attacks – is expected to continue. ” nietanyahu.
He seems very sure.Does he know something the rest of the world does not.
It is not as if a precedent has to be set for scaring Jews out of different countries when Mother Israel needs chattel to solve the demographic bomb.
I wonder if the King is aware of the danger he puts the Jewish people in by in gathering them to one tiny narrow slither of land surrounded by a sea of marauding Arabs who want to kill all Jews.How many Nukes would it take to wipe Israel off the map. 1 dropped right on Dimona should do the trick.Those who would wipe Israel off the map , must be rubbing their hands with glee.
