Anti-Israel protesters call ‘Kill the Jews’ in Vienna

Bosnian soccer fans joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Vienna on Friday and shouted anti-Semitic epithets in one of the city’s central plazas, Austrian newspaper Der Standard reported.

A video posted to YouTube shows several dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators waving Palestinian flags in Stephansplatz and calling “free, free Palestine!”

The Bosnian fans dressed in blue, yellow and white are seen standing among the protesters and joining them in their cries, before setting out on a chant of their own: “Ubij, ubij Židove!” or “Kill, kill the Jews!”

5. Pro-Palestinians calling 4 the killing of Jews is anti-Zionist, not anti-semitic.

6. So a bunch of Bosnian football hooligans are chanting antisemitic slogans. What else is new?

There is so much anti-Semitic stuff going on that deserves our attention, like the Holocaust cartoon contest in Iran for example. This is not really newsworthy.

Perhaps it’s the fact that the drunken yahoos are crashing a pro-Palestinian demonstration that makes it newsworthy, but that would be dumb, wouldn’t it?

8. I still don't think Bosnian football hooligans is such a big issue.

Football fans tend to have very racist views all over the world.

9. Probably a different story had anyone been shouting "kill the Arabs"?

Would be outrage and rightly so.

And Jews are far smaller minority group than Arabs or Muslims.

If you want similar stories like the one you posted, just google Beitar and Ali Abunimah. I can't see much of a difference.

It is something he is keenly interested in collecting and dispersing.

But you prefer hate against one of the smallest minority groups in the world to just be ignored but the hate against a 2 Billion plus minority be amplified?
