European Christmas markets are opening this year under tightened security and rising operational costs, as officials across Germany, France and other parts of Europe respond to what authorities describe as elevated threats to public safety. In Germany, spending on security for public events " including Christmas markets " has increased by about 44% over the past three years, according to a new survey by the Federal Association of City and Town Marketing. Berlin's main market launched this season behind concrete barriers, enhanced video surveillance, and an expanded private security presence. Several smaller municipalities warn that the added requirements may force them to scale back or cancel markets next year.

Since WWII, the hardworking American taxpayer has provided more foreign aid to ethnic-cleansing Israel than to any other country on the planet at $317.9bn, a nation that provides world-class universal healthcare for its citizens like Germany or Canada, something Americans will never enjoy.

International arrest warrants issued by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity remain active for Benjamin Netanyahu. Citing universal jurisdiction, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for 33 Israelis accused of committing genocide in Gaza. Indictments are merely allegations. Mr Netanyahu is presumed innocent until proven guilty at international tribunal to be held for him in the Hague at a future date.

How many Muslims have been killed by the Western Powers over Oil, Religion, the Unquestioning Support of Racist Killers in Palestine?

Europe created the conditions they are now dealing with.

Colonies create Enemies, Theft and Murder have a way of Pissing People Off.

Blowback is a Bitch as Israel will learn to their Surprise and Chagrin.

Its not Over.

Civilizational Conflicts last a long time.

Islam is not going Anywhere.

Better to learn to Coexist.

Meaning Might makes Right won't Cut it.

Europe created the conditions they are now dealing with.

So when they stop doing what they were doing to create the conditions, you get mad?

Islam is not going Anywhere.

But it can stay where it came from. End immigration from Muslim conservative countries would go a long way.
Why would you be against this?

Better to learn to Coexist.

Submit to Islam, who wants to kill us? Are you kidding me.

Go ---- yourself.

CornHolio attempts to make the case for Global Intifada.

Europe created the conditions they are now dealing with.

And they can uncreate them.

Better to learn to Coexist.

Are you talking to Islamist? The ones that the block streets in Catholic countries, but not Islamic ones?

You're a fool, with no sense of history.

Islam is being asked to Submit to the West.

#5 That's an Old, Old, Story.

They gave the Same answer you did.

Which means Civilizational War.

The difference is WE Colonized THEM First and now migrants from the countries Exploited by Western Civilization are now moving in, in huge numbers.

Bringing Islam to many new Reverts in Europe and North America.

Islam, unlike Judaism, welcomes New Members.

Also Unlike Judaism, they don't act like their Religion makes them Supermen Above all Human Laws but their own Tribal Bigotry.

Not Foreseen by the Colonizers.

Lol.

The West is Destroying Itself with their own Paranoia and EthnoSupremacy.

#9,

What's hilarious, people from Islamic nations are moving to nations that are not Islamic.

Why? re-colonization?

The word "colonizers" is so 2000's.
