The Times of Israel: “Romanian state TV airs Christmas carol about burning Jews“.
Sung by the Dor Transilvan ensemble, it featured the lyrics: “The kikes, damn kikes, Holy God would not leave the kike alive, neither in heaven nor on earth, only in the chimney as smoke, this is what the kike is good for, to make kike smoke through the chimney on the street.”
Oooh, look at those costumes!
In a statement, TVR3…(said) it did not select the carol but only broadcast songs that were chosen and compiled by the Center for Preservation and Promotion of Traditional Culture..

They look like idiots, and their parents were idiots also..

Antisemitism is never far below the surface in many areas of Europe. During the last century it generally has been contained and suppressed by the governments. But, occasionally, as in Russia pre-1917, post 1945, and in Germany this sickness is given free reign.
At first, I thought this was another Borat-style joke. No such luck.
what a sad group. they will justify their actions no matter what.
In Hungary, Anti-Semitism Rises Again:
The hardy perennial of anti-Semitism has made a dramatic comeback in Central Europe. … In Hungary, a virulently anti-Semitic party, Jobbik, is now the third-largest in Parliament. One party official has called for a list of all Jewish legislators, to assess their loyalty — a move that even the right-wing government condemned.

“During the last century (anti-Semitism) generally has been contained and suppressed by the governments.”
Respectfully disagree.
During the last century a majority of European Jews were murdered. Does this sound like containment and suppression of anti-Semitism?
Lastly a book recommendation:
IBM and the Holocaust is a book by investigative journalist Edwin Black which details the business dealings of the American-based multinational corporation International Business Machines (IBM) and its German and other European subsidiaries with the government of Adolf Hitler during the 1930s and the years of World War II. In the book, Black outlines the way in which IBM’s technology helped facilitate Nazi genocide through generation and tabulation of punch cards based upon national census data.

“The kikes, damn kikes, Holy God would not leave the kike alive, neither in heaven nor on earth….”
“It is outrageous that none in the audience took a stance against the anti-Semitic Christian carol that incites to burn the Jews.”
Wow, and despite the mountains of evidence and blood shed to the contrary, the vast majority of Christians embrace their training that they are morally superior to anyone else. What delusional, bigoted thinking.
Anyone know if they sang any Christian carols about hating fags or infidels too?
Ah, the festive season in Mitteleurope. I’d start a boycott of Romanian goods, if there were such a thing available to boycott. Some things never change. I can’t help wonder, though, just what it is about rabid anti-semites that makes them want to dress up in weird clothing? From Nazis in Hugo Boss SS uniforms to islamofascists in hezbollah black balaclavas to KKKers in bedsheets, it’s all about the dress-up (though these “folksingers” seem to have mislaid their swastika armbands). Normally, when noticing a group with a penchant for odd dress, I’d just say “better latent than never”, but these idiots also hate gays. Oh well, I guess I’ll cross Bucharest off my list of places in Europe I’d like to visit one day.
There has always been a lot of antisemetism in Europe so why should anyone be surprised to see it rearing its ugly head again. Hitler used it to blame Germany’s problems on in the 1930s and Europe certainly has a lot of problems again.
Rizwan “IBM and the Holocaust”
Bogus! IBM is guilty because they provided the German government with very rudimentary data processing capability for the census?? Simply a stupid book based on a stupid premise. I’m sure they provided the same capability to many other countries that did kill their people. Also the majority of Jewish victims of the Nazis were not German.
I see the usual suspects feel the need to conflate cultural xenophobia with Christianity.
Anti-Christian bigots and anti-religion paranoiacs hold NO moral high ground.
There were six phases in Hitler’s war on Jews: “identification, expulsion, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation and ultimately even extermination”. All of this was done with speed and accuracy during an ongoing world war. Such a massive undertaking in the pre-computer era required sophisticated tools. The Herman-Hollerith punched card system was at that time the top of the line office automation technology that none but the US possessed.
It was sold, for profit, to those whose anti-semitism was already known.
The Auschwitz tattoo is an IBM number.
(How did Hitler get the names?)
Even Gypsies need someone to look down on, right? And, everybody in the neighborhood knew who the Jews were, no need to pretend otherwise.
Ha!
I see the usual suspects come out to deny the reality that Christianity, despite it’s claims of loving all, inclusiveness, etc, can actually be a bastion of bigotry, divisiveness and hatred. If you don’t believe me, just ask any queer.
BTW, Hitler documented his intense hatred of Jews as coming from the anti-Semetic teachings of the Catholic Church of the time. His foot-soldiers who actually committed these sickening atrocities were overwhelmingly Catholic and Lutheran.
“Man up and own it”…… Well said, Phil.
I always wondered where to word “kike” came from. As Google is my friend I found that many Russian Jews names ended in “KI”.
Thus the word kike to describe them.
And yes, those Romanian singers should be vilified at every opportunity. Christian they aren’t.
Another theory is that illiterate Jews would sign things with a circle – a kikeleh (sp?) – rather than with an “x” (which might seem to have Christian connotations).
Rizwan “(How did Hitler get the names?)”
I didn’t know the Jews kept their identity a secret. You do know that they had no computers in the 1930s and the punch card devices were simply for counting. There were no database programs and a manual system of farming the census for Jewish names would have worked just fine. Since all the Jews were already registered, they might want to use that list instead.
It was only a matter of time before trolls like Canadian Observer and Phil would show up and spout their total nonsense.
Can you name a regular Christmas carol with anti-Semitic references? “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”, perhaps? What about “Jingle Bells” (actually written for American Thanksgiving)? Nostra Aetete, anyone? Saint Edith Stein? Saint Maxilmilian Kolbe? Nothing to say about those things?
I wouldn’t think so.
No go and ruin a toy drive or whatever it is trolls like you do during the Christmas season.
Reminds me of this

Sorry but I just cannot get worked up over some old foreign song that smacks of anti-Semitism, especially when there is a much larger population of Muslims who seek to kill all Jews, and they have murdered a fair number so far, instead of singing nasty songs about them. Yes, I am well aware that there is a long history of anti-Semitism, which is a reflection of those holding such views rather than the Jews, but as long as they are not trying to put this into practice I cannot get too excited.
Read my comment again. I did mention Germany and it was German that killed almost all Jews killed in the last century.
Damn fools. Jesus Christ was a Jew.
Exactly. Leave the pearl-clutching to Bernie Farber.
By the way, Romanians are blessed to not have their folk music heritage smashed by rock music, though Europe’s enemies have spent 25 years trying. Half a dozen folk music channels (TV channels, not satellite radio) on basic cable, and that’s just the ones I saw.
In what is surely not a co-incidence, Romania is one of the most devout Christian nations left in Europe.
You have no idea what it’s like to go somewhere on earth with a living tradition of real popular music, as opposed to the poison Hollywood has used to turn North American teenagers against their parents since the Fifties.
