The growing debate over antisemitism in Europe
took a new twist this week after the authors of a study on antisemitism
commissioned by the European Union accused the E.U. of burying their work for
political reasons.
A professor at Berlin Technical University and
one of the report’s authors, Werner Bergman, said that the E.U.-sponsored
European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia had deliberately shelved
the 112-page report since February because it concluded that Muslims and
pro-Palestinian groups were behind much of the recent antisemitic violence in
Europe.
“They are fearing that the report will
discriminate against Muslim minorities and that this would show that the E.U.
was siding with Israel,” Bergman said. “They put the blame on us because they
can’t admit they buried the report for political reasons.”
Adding to the debate, Israeli Prime Minister
Sharon declared this week in an interview with an E.U. newswire that the
growing presence of Muslims in Europe was a threat to the Jewish community.
The E.U. is under pressure from lawmakers in
Europe and America to publish the report.
“It is critical that E.U. leaders immediately
release this report in order to effectively combat the rise of antisemitism in
Europe,” Rep. Robert Wexler, a Florida Democrat, wrote on Tuesday in a letter
to Romano Prodi, the president of the European Commission, the E.U.’s executive
arm. “Suggestions that the E.U. would suppress this report based on politics
and in the face of growing hatred toward European Jewry are unconscionable.”
John Kellock, a spokesman for the racism
monitoring center, vehemently rejected the charges, saying the decision to
withhold publication of the report was prompted by the insufficient quality and
scope of the work. He said the center would publish a more comprehensive report
on antisemitism next spring.
“We don’t have a political agenda, and we don’t
hesitate to designate the perpetrators of racist and antisemitic acts,” Kellock
told the Forward. “We are surprised that the authors are now coming out with
those claims, since we told them about the problems four or five months ago.”
The alleged shelving of the report was first
reported on Saturday by the Financial Times of London. The news came a week
after twin suicide bombings at synagogues in Turkey and the arson of a Jewish
school in France led European leaders to vow new efforts to tackle antisemitism.
Jewish groups blasted the monitoring center,
noting that while it had quickly produced three reports on Islamophobia in the
wake of the September 11 attacks, it failed to fulfill a promise to produce
quickly a report on antisemitism.
“This is just outrageous,” said Serge
Cwajgenbaum, secretary-general of the European Jewish Congress, who had pushed
for thecreation of the monitoring center in 1997. “There was a decision to hide
the truth and we want to know who took it.”
He and professor Bergman suggested that
responsibility for withholding the report might lie within the European
Commission, the executive arm of the E.U., which finances the center.
Cwajgenbaum said he would raise the issue at a scheduled meeting on December 18
with Prodi.
The commission came under fire recently for its
now- infamous poll that found that Europeans considered Israel the biggest
threat to world peace. In the past three years, pro-Israel politicians have
also accused the commission of refusing to closely monitor the use of European
funds by the Palestinian Authority.
The controversy over the report comes at a time
when Israeli officials are stepping up their pressure on Europe to address the
issue of antisemitism. In his interview with EUpolitix.com, Sharon warned: “An
ever-stronger Muslim presence in Europe is certainly endangering the life of
Jewish people…. E.U. governments are not doing enough to tackle antisemitism.”
Cwajgenbaum took issue with Sharon’s statement,
arguing that it was too simplistic. He said antisemitism in Europe was
multifaceted, coming from traditional extreme-right circles and far-left groups
as well as a radicalized Muslim minority.
“The vast majority of Muslims wants to be
integrated in Europe. So this is a much too general description of the situation,”
he said.
Between December 2001 and February 2002, the
European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, known as the EUMC,
published three reports on instances of anti-Muslim incidents and promised that
it would quickly conduct a survey of antisemitic incidents, as well,
Cwajgenbaum said.
The EUMC assigned the study to the Center for
Antisemitism Research at the Technical University in Berlin, which has
extensive experience in the field.
Bergman said that although he raised
methodological concerns about the study, EUMC officials insisted that he
complete it. However, he said, EUMC officials later raised more substantive
concerns about designating Muslim perpetrators and asked the authors to avoid
generalizations. Bergman said EUMC officials also expressed discomfort with the
study’s broad definition of antisemitism, which included some anti-Israel
behavior.
The researchers presented their initial
findings to European Jewish community leaders in November 2002, and it was
agreed that an ensuing report would be released in March 2003 at the latest.
After they handed the EUMC what they considered
the final version of their work in February 2003, Bergman said he did not hear
back from the center, fueling speculation that a decision had been made to bury
the report.
Cwajgenbaum said he and other Jewish communal
leaders had continually asked about the report and that he now feels the EUMC
“was hiding the truth from us.”
Kellock denied the allegation, stressing that
the researchers had only focused their work on a period between May and October
2002 and that it was deemed insufficient. He said the center would publish a
comprehensive report on the full years 2002 and 2003 in the first quarter of
next year.
He said the Berlin center refused to conduct
the expanded study and that a decision about the authors of the study will be
made soon.
An excerpt from the draft report obtained by
the Financial Times stated: “it can be concluded that the antisemitic incidents
in the monitoring period were committed above all by right-wing extremists and
radical Islamists or young Muslims.”
In late July, Wexler and three other House
members — Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Democrats Tom Lantos of
California and Gary Ackerman of New York — wrote to E.U. foreign policy chief
Javier Solana, stressing the need for the E.U. to address the rise in
antisemitism and asking for the release of the draft report.
Similar letters were sent to Prodi and to Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, whose country holds the rotating
presidency of the E.U.
In his reply to the lawmakers, Solana explained
that the work would not be made public because “it did not meet the criteria of
consistency and quality of data,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by
the Forward. Prodi endorsed Solana’s conclusions in a separate letter dated
August 12, arguing that there was “no complacency” toward racism in Europe and
that the problem of antisemitism also applied to the United States.
On Tuesday, Wexler fired a letter back to
Prodi, saying he was “extremely disappointed” by Solana’s response. He
explained that one of the German researchers had contacted him and told him
that the shelving of the report was motivated by political reasons.
Since the beginning of the intifada, Israel and
its supporters have contended that anti-Zionism was a new form of antisemitism.
Critics counter that this definition is too broad and is a ploy to stifle
dissent over Israeli policies. In the exchange of letters with Wexler, both
Prodi and Solana insisted on the need to maintain such a distinction.
In his letter, Prodi stressed the “importance
of distinguishing between legitimate political expressions and criticisms of
the policies of the government of Israel on the one hand, and antisemitism on
the other. The European Union will not tolerate antisemitism, nor will it
tolerate any insinuation that its policy towards the Middle East is driven by
antisemitism.”
Bergman said that while not all anti-Israel
activity is antisemitic, it often crosses the line into antisemitism and it is
therefore inappropriate to regard the two as completely unrelated phenomena.
L’Union Européenne un projet Nazi remis au goût du jour
L’histoire pour autant que l’on veuille bien s’y pencher un peut nous apprend bien des choses sur notre passé, notre présent mais aussi et surtout sur notre avenir et à plus forte raison lorsqu’il s’agit d’Europe et plus particulièrement de cette sacro-sainte Union Européenne.
Les Faits :
L’Union Européenne est un projet fasciste qui a été pensé par des Nazis comme Walter Hallstein qui a été le premier président de la commission Européenne. Walter Hallstein était un dignitaire Nazi qui avait rédigé à la demande de Hitler un plan pour une nouvelle Europe qui se trouve être l’Europe d’aujourd’hui.
Qui était Walter Hallstein ?
Hallstein était un juriste Allemand sous le régime Nazi qui d’ailleurs avait été professeur et doyen à l‘université de Rostock en 1936 alors âgé de 34 ans après avoir montré patte blanche aux autorités Nazies.
En 1938, lorsque Hitler c’était rendu en Italie, il était tombé d’accord avec Mussolini pour bâtir un projet de nouvelle Europe « Das Neue Europa ». Au mois de juin 1938, Adolph Hitler avait demandé à Walter Hallstein de préparer le projet de construction Européenne.
Walter Hallstein qui était officier Nazi a été arrêté en 1944 à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale après la bataille de Cherbourg. Il a ensuite été recyclé par les autorités américaines.
En 1951 on retrouve Walter Hallstein dans l’entourage immédiat de Konrad Adenauer et devient le secrétaire d’état aux affaires étrangères du gouvernement Adenauer en Allemagne. C’est lui qui va préparer le projet de cette nouvelle Europe à partir des plans qu’il avait préparé pour Hitler et Mussolini et c’est ce qui va donner le traité de Rome qui sera signé le 25 mars 1957.
Il fut ensuite le premier président de la commission européenne de 1958 à 1967 (Commission Hallstein) et dans le cadre de cette commission, il présente en 1965, un plan qui prépare l’organisation d’une Europe fédérale.

Walter Hallstein a ensuite été le promoteur du « plan Hallstein » en 1965 qui prévoyait une Europe fédérale, la même Europe que l’on connait aujourd’hui et c’est justement ce plan Hallstein qui avait motivé le général Charles De Gaule à dire Stop et à ne plus envoyer aucun représentant à la commission Européenne à Bruxelles, pratiquant ainsi la politique de la chaise vide car il savait parfaitement à quoi s’en tenir concernant Walter Hallstein, un Nazi recyclé par les américains afin de détruire les nations d’Europe et les placer sous l’autorité d’un empire dictatorial.
Le document qui suit vous relate ce que vous venez de lire et j’ai pris soin d’y ajouter l’extrait d’une allocution du président Charles De Gaulle qui avait vu venir ce qui se passe aujourd’hui ainsi que du président Jacques Chirac aux élections Européennes de 1979 ou il dénonçait « cette Europe non européenne dominée par les intérêts germano-américains » sans être interdit de grands médias ni se faire traiter de « conspirationniste ».

La colonisation de la Grèce par l’Allemagne, ce que les nazis n’ont pas réussi à faire l’Union Européenne le fait.

Enquête de la télévision allemande :
Parmi les biens publics que la Grèce doit vendre, il y a les 14 aéroports régionaux les plus rentables du pays qui doivent être vendus à une firme allemande, Fraport.
Le maire de Corfou, Kostas Nikolouzos (120 000 habitants, 1 million de touristes par an, chiffre en augmentation) : «L’aéroport rapporte beaucoup d’argent, pourquoi devrait-on le céder ? Nous sommes en crise, n’est-ce pas ? Si on se prive des moyens de produire de la richesse dans ce pays pour relancer l’économie, comment fera-t-on ensuite ?».
Selon «l’accord» de colonisation européen, tout doit être bradé : la poste, les installations d’eau, les autoroutes, le réseau de gaz et d’électricité, les ports et les aéroports. Et donc, les 14 aéroports situés sur les îles les plus touristiques, Mykonos, Santorin, Kos, Corfou, etc.
La firme allemande doit donner 1, 23 milliard d’euros et une taxe annuelle de 22,9 millions pour récupérer les 14 aéroports.
Le ministre des infrastructures grec, Christos Spirtzis : «l’Etat grec doit vendre les 14 aéroports qui rapportent et les 30 autres aéroports qui ne font aucun profit doivent rester à sa charge. C’est un modèle qui ressemble à l’état des choses dans une colonie, pas dans un état membre de l’Union Européenne».
D’après les chiffres de l’administration grecque, le nombre de vols via les 14 aéroports l’an passé a augmenté de 13,8%, le nombre de passagers a connu une augmentation de 19%. Un expert de la Lufthansa qualifie la transaction de «économiquement lucrative».
Mais on garde le meilleur pour la fin. S’agît-il vraiment d’une privatisation ? La société anonyme Fraport est une firme allemande mais surtout la majorité de ses parts est détenue par la ville de Francfort et la région de Hesse.
Prof. Rudolf Hickel de l’Université de Brême : «ce qui va se produire est un changement de propriétaire — ce qui était propriété de l’Etat grec va pour ainsi dire devenir propriété de l’Etat allemand. Et à la fin, ce qui compte, c’est que les profits qui seront réalisés dans ces 14 aéroports financeront les services publics allemands».
Et que deviendra le petit milliard récolté pour la vente ? Il servira à rembourser la dette.
