Another European Anti-Semitism Post
I get the sense that the "not funny jokes" to "petulant news posts about European anti-Semitism" ratio has been increasing lately (for the non-math folks, that means more not funny jokes and the same number of petulant news posts). Luckily, there's a way to combine them:
European Union justice and interior ministers on Thursday shelved proposals to ban the use of Nazi symbols after failing to agree on how such a ban could help fight racism and anti-Semitism... On the table was a proposal by Luxembourg Justice Minister Luc Frieden that rules combating racism should include a ban "on displaying symbols inciting hatred and violence" like the Nazis' use of the swastika.
Their real concern: "how are we going to make our 'Star of David equals Swastika' posters if you ban swastikas?"
