Hahahahahahahaa just as I predicted "racism" is on the rise thanks to the Iraq war. . . it appears the jews and George Bush have done everyone a favor but making everyone realize that everyone is different and they should be isolated from different races and religions. . . amazing how so many "politcally correct" people are RACIST!!!!!!!!! . . . . .I am willing to bet if the survey was done in the US you would find similar if not larger numbers with the Evangelicals leading the way with Islamaphobia. . . . Oh I can just hear that "intolerance" churning waiting to break free from the chains. . .

One in three French 'are racist'
One in three French people say they are at least somewhat racist, according to a survey by a human rights watchdog.

The figure shows an eight percentage point rise in those who said they were racist in a similar poll last year. The survey points to socio-economic unease and suggests racism is gaining acceptability, the watchdog said. About 33% of 1,011 people surveyed face-to-face said they were "somewhat" or "a little" racist, the report by the national human rights watchdog showed.

France last year saw weeks of rioting in impoverished suburbs that was partly linked to the anger many youths from immigrant families felt at alleged racial discrimination.
The survey was conducted by the CSA polling agency for the National Consultative Commission for Human Rights in late November 2005 - just after the riots had subsided.
No margin of error was given for the survey.

'Drop in crime'

Respondents were given five options for describing their personal stance on race, ranging from "somewhat racist" and "a bit racist" to "not racist at all" and "don't want to say". More than three in every 10 said they were "a bit racist" or "somewhat racist". Only 32% of people said they would notify police of racist behaviour they witnessed, compared to 50% in the previous year.

"Despite the efforts deployed to fight racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia there is still a long way to go," the president of the commission, Joel Thoraval, said. According to the report, anti-racist sentiment has grown weaker since last year.

However, the report noted that the number of racist and anti-Semitic crimes had also fallen in 2005. France's justice minister, Pascal Clement, said last week that the number of convictions for racist and anti-Semitic crimes had risen 43% in 2005.

March 6, 2006 issue - The world has long looked upon the Dutch as the very model of a modern, multicultural society. Open and liberal, the tiny seagoing nation that invented the globalized economy in the 1600s prided itself on a history of taking in all comers, be they Indonesian or Turkish, African or Chinese.

How different things look today. Dutch borders have been virtually shut. New immigration is down to a trickle. The great cosmopolitan port city of Rotterdam just published a code of conduct requiring Dutch be spoken in public. Parliament recently legislated a countrywide ban on wearing the burqa in public. And listen to a prominent Dutch establishment figure describe the new Dutch Way with immigrants. "We demand a new social contract," says Jan Wolter Wabeke, High Court Judge in The Hague. "We no longer accept that people don't learn our language, we require that they send their daughters to school, and we demand they stop bringing in young brides from the desert and locking them up in third-floor apartments."

But what puts Schoenfeld's account in a special class is the extraordinary spectrum of Jews he tabulates as anti-Semitic. Indeed, according to Schoenfeld, the new anti-Semitism emanates mainly from the political left. In other words, the juggernaut of the new anti-Semitism is “largely a Jewish contingent”; and again, “left-wing Jews” are “in the vanguard” of the new anti-Semitism. However absurd, it is all the same unsurprising to see Noam Chomsky classified as an anti-Semite in Schoenfled's book; Chomsky became the bete noire of Israel's apologists after proving to the most principled and effective Jewish critic of Israeli policy.

...but no less disgusting. I think this is just a reactionary thing, people becoming hateful over the riots. Everyone has opinions, but not everyone has informed opinions...

This will die down soon.

Is to wipe Israel off the map.

I tried that. First off, it didn't come off... even when I used alcohol. Perhaps it was because the map was laminated. So in frustration I cut it out. This just left a big hole in the map. I decided to tape it next to France... upide down just to be goofy! And then I cut out Michigan and placed it by Madagascar! What fun! Now I see why the British loved doing this kind of stuff so much.
But in the end, not much was accomplished. We still have Shamgar.

Poll: 68% of Jews would refuse to live in same building as an Arab
By Eli Ashkenazi and Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondents

Sixty-eight percent of Israeli Jews would refuse to live in the same apartment building as an Israeli Arab, according to the results of an annual poll released Wednesday by the Center for the Struggle Against Racism.

The "Index of Racism Towards Arab Palestinian Citizens of the State of Israel," conducted by Geocartographia, revealed on 26 percent of Jews in Israel would agree to live with Arab neighbors in the same building.

Forty-six percent of Jews would refuse to allow an Arab to visit their home while 50 percent would welcome an Arab visitor. Forty-one percent of Jewish support the segregation of Jews and Arabs in places of recreation and 52 percent of such Jews would oppose such a move.

The inclination toward segregation rises as the income level of the poll respondent drops and also as the level of religious observance rises. Support for segregation between Jews and Arabs is also higher among Jews of Middle Eastern origin as opposed to those of European origin.

"Racism is becoming mainstream. When people talk about transfer or about Arabs as a demographic time-bomb, no one raises their voice against such statements. This is a worrisome phenomenon," Bachar Ouda, director of the Center for the Struggle Against Racism, said on Tuesday. The report covered the year 2005 and the center will, in the future, present monthly and bi-annual polls.

The index, edited by Ouda and attorney Ala Khaider, surveys racially-motivated incidents that took place during 2005 and examines the attitudes of Israeli Jews toward Israeli Arabs.

During the course of 2005, 225 racially-motivated incidents directed at Arab citizens were reported to the center or in the media. The center believes that less than 20 percent of attacks or other incidents are ever reported.

Seventy-fire percent of the reports on racist incidents came from institutional sources such as government ministries, government companies or publicly-elected officials.

The poll further revealed that 63 percent of Jewish Israelis agree with the statement, "Arabs are a security and demographic threat to the state." Thirty-one percent of Jews did not agree. Agreement with the statement was strongest among Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jews and low-income earners.

Forty percent of Jews believe "the state needs to support the emigration of Arab citizens" and just 52 percent don't agree with the statement.

Thirty-four percent also agreed with the statement that "Arab culture is inferior to Israeli culture." Fifty-seven percent did not agree with the statement.

Half of Israeli Jews express fear or discomfort when hearing people speaking Arabic. Eighteen percent of Jews said they feel hate when hearing Arabic speakers.

Responding to the report, Hadash Chairman MK Mohammed Barakeh said racism against Israeli Arabs "is a direct result of official racist and discriminatory policies" dictated by the government.

Shamgar, how the hell can you criticize others for being racist?

I am afraid that, being a 'cretin', I cannot comprehend what the f**k you are talking about, so could you explain it to those of us who do not inhabit such dizzying heights of intellect.
