Someone Needs To Monitor The Monitoring Centre

The EU Monitoring Centre has squashed a report on anti-Semitism in Europe because it acknowledged that most of the acts in Europe are being committed by Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups. The report is being called "too inflammatory."

It's official. The EU is now officially scared of the truth. Verifiable facts are ignored and dismissed. Rather than confront the ugly truth before them, they try to soft-sell it and to push the blame off on more broad based groups.

A spade is a spade is a spade. Arguing over the definition of anti-Semitism instead of confronting it head-on is kind of link arguing about the finer points of the definition of murder while the murderer walks free. The argument does nothing to further the cause of justice. Without fair justice, impartial and rule bound, society will collapse. To fail to call a spade what it is, the EUMC is ignoring the societal need for justice.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that most (but not all) anti-Semitic acts these days are being perpetrated by followers of Islam. It may be unfortunate; it may be disappointing; it may be disheartening; it may even be painful to acknowledge. But a fact is a fact. There is simply no getting around that.

Are there anti-Islamic acts taking place in Europe today? I'm sure that there are. Since 9/11, the EUMC has even published three reports of anti-Islamic activities in Europe. But still they protest and call for "fairness" when it comes to a report on anti-Semitism. Imagine the outcry if someone had called for fairness and balance in one of the anti-Islamic activities.

Someone at the EUMC needs to get a clue and to recognize that not everyone in the world is nice and friendly and that sometimes the self-appointed job of monitoring people involves pointing out difficult to swallow observations. Like the demographics of the average anti-Semitist in Europe. It may not be nice and it may not be fun, but it is supposedly what they're getting paid for.

And they wonder why the Americans don't want to take them seriously...
