Anti-semitism in the European, Socialist Utopia

I just read a story on CNN about an Israeli pop band named Teapack whose entry into the Eurovison music contest has causes some protest from Europe. They claim that the title, "Push the Button" is inappropriate for the contest. Teapack explains that it refers to "living in the shadow of danger and laughing in the face of terror," and is not a glorification of violence, rather the opposite. Despite this explanation, the outrage continues. I watched the video on YouTube (I am trying to figure out how to imbed the video itself in the post, but have had no luck yet) and happened to check out some of the comments, which I included. You tell me if the problem for Europeans is with the lyrics or just with the Jewish people.

Hopefully Iran can get a nuke and push the button on "israel". It should be Palestine anyways and everyone knows that.

You f#$%&ing hebrews .... get serious or be soaps [edited to be family friendly]


The latter comment is quite possibly the most amazing public anti-Semitism I have ever seen. For those of you with a lack of historical understanding, one of the more twisted aspects of the Holocaust was the Nazi's ingenuity in utilizing the actual corpses of dead Jews (and others) for commercial purposes. Skin made into lamp shades, hair used to stuff mattresses AND human fat tissue boiled down to use the glycerin for soap-making. Just thought you might like to know which side of the political spectrum contains the true "hatemongers."

  1. I really can't see them having a problem with the lyrics.

    I feel its just a cover for their hatred of the Jews. In their mind, a clever way to "package" their anti-Semitism.
