Mark Steyn: Two-Mile Tailbacks at Jew-Hate Junction
|
[SteynOnline] Lent with the lenders: as Ilhan Omar
Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw...
would say, it's all about the Belgian benjamins.
As Laura Rosen Cohen likes to say, everyone meets at Jew-Hate Junction: excitable young Mohammedans, secular polytechnic Euro-lefties, anti-globalist conspiracy theorists... It's getting pretty crowded over there. As I wrote almost exactly a decade ago about the Ismalization of Europe:
There are already many points of cultural friction‐from British banks' abolition of children's 'piggy banks' to the enjoining of public doughnut consumption by Brussels police during Ramadan. And yet on one issue there is remarkable comity between the aging ethnic Europeans and their young surging Moslem populations...
...Jews.
Young Moslems do not like Jews: that is a simple fact, and it's a waste of everybody's time denying it. Where Moslems predominate, Jews vanish - as in Molenbeek, across the canal from downtown Brussels. I remember from my childhood the main drag, the Chaussée de Gand (or Steenweg op Gent, if you're Phlegmish, as my mum was), as a bustling strip with many Jewish businesses. But in the first decade of the 21st century they all disappeared, and their former owners chose to remain silent ‐ because it was easier that way.
So it's getting pretty crowded at Jew-Hate Junction, with various strains of anti-Semitism jostling hither and yon. In the past twenty-four hours, Twitter has went kaboom! with scenes from the annual Lenten carnival in Aalst, a city halfway between Ghent and Brussels, and just south of my mum's hometown of Sint-Niklaas. The parade floats included two giant hook-nosed Jew puppets with sidelocks and streimels, both with gold coins at their feet and one with a rat on his shoulder - and accompanied by a song about getting "extra fat" on full money-bags that are "Jewishly beautiful". Social media has erupted, the European Commission has weighed in, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center has written to the Belgian Government.

And it's not worth worrying about because it's nothing to do with Europe's future: it's a last gasp of a dying Europe, of a Continent whose oldest cultural traditions, such as Christmas markets, have either to be canceled or held behind bollards and armed guards. Europe
 ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
is losing even the consolations of culture, and so one day, not very far off, a Lenten parade that dates from the Middle Ages will be gone.
Whereas Corbyn's Labour Party is very much Europe's future: the alliance between the secular left and Islam. Whatever the squeamishness of the few remaining old-school Judeophile socialists, they understand where the basic math of the new demography is leading.
Could it happen in America? Well, consider Ilhan Omar, a savvy Somali who briefly married her brother for the purposes of immigration fraud and yet became the darling of the new Minnesota Democrats. She's been in Congress barely a month, but already it's clear her horribles parade never ends: She has said that with Jews it's "all about the benjamins" - which is the same message as that Aalst parade, yet made by an already influential US Congresswoman.
I'm very bored by the smooth taqqiya Moslems who profess to dig the interfaith outreach. On balance, I prefer the likes of Ms Omar, who just can't help herself. She'll back down a little when  Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
orders her to, but forty-eight hours later comes roaring Tweeting back ...and dares the Democrats to call her on it.
The House Leadership just backed down. Like Corbyn in London, it can no longer even insist on its anti-Semitic bona fides without weaseling and equivocating. That's very telling - and, unlike puppet grotesques in a medieval Lenten parade, it's not the last throes of the past but a glimpse of the future.
