We're in this together: Palestinians and Jews share democracy

If you scroll down just a bit on this Wiki entry main page you can read the following quote: "Jewish life can be characterized as democratic." Oh yes–Jewish life in Israel and Palestine is 'democratic'–as long as you are a Jew! If you're a Palestinian you're a piece of shit. True, dat. That's 'democracy' for ya, all American style :-)

"all American style"? Can't figure whether you hate Americans or Jews. Probably both I'd wager, considering what you wrote has nothing to do with the article's topic. BTW your underwear's showing. :-)

Italy, and its Jewish history

Why does Italy not appear in the default box at right, regarding Jews in History? Surely, the rich and long history warrants Italy's inclusion. Dogru144 14:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Overview?

I think this page ought to provide an overview of Jewish European history, rather than serving as a disambig page. come on. — Rickyrab | Talk 08:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, this page is extremely disappointing - After the Middle East, Europe is the region with probably the most 'interesting' (for want of a better word) Jewish history. I'll put it on list of articles for expansion. Grunners (talk) 18:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion: "History of..." to "Jews and Judaism in..."

Why we have "history of..." in every country instead of "Jews and Judaism in..."? Many European countries have a living jewish communies and persons, so writing just under the main title "History of..." do not justify. And, for example in Jews in Finland is forced to redirect to the article History of the Jews in Finland. I think there either should be separated articles or merge these into one article: Jews and Judaism in Finland. Peltimikko (talk) 19:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't understand that either. All these articles' titles should be rendered into "Jews in..."Ernio48 (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Demographics?

Are those figures like a flat interest rate?

jewish sentiment

misleading pgae: mentions nothing of the fact that despite poland being a 'haven' for jews, most poles actually did not like jews.

jews were classified as unwanted sections of society along with roma and gypsies in poland (not only, europe in general).

much less tolerant than this page would have you believe. in fact, this is almost a fabrication of history. 70.48.210.219 (talk) 19:10, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Move Proposal

I think that this should be moved to History of Judaism in Europe, along with the other pages in this category.

I just need to get some consensus on the topic. Anyoldeditor (talk) 22:11, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Reads like an opinion page

The article is supposed to be about the History of the Jews in Europe which is fact, not about how they survived as a group which is subject to conjecture, opinion and interpretation. It never ceases to amaze me how Wikipedia editors can be so brazenly bold when injecting their opinion and worldview into an article. It's so obvious when it's done it should be embarrassing to the staff. Not so. Editors appear to relish using Wikipedia as a personal soapbox and in so doing really compromise the integrity and believability of the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.145.103 (talk) 08:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

There is VITAL missing information

Why is there mention of Ashkenazi Jews, when Ashkenaz was the grandson of Japeth, making Ashkenaz Japhetic, not Semetic? Why is the history of the enslavement of the Israel (Jacobs children[bloodline])via ships, not taken into consideration, when determining the bloodlines of the true Jews? Why aren't the hieroglyphs, which have now been deciphered, taken as accurate in it's depiction of what the Jews looked like?

I'd like to see someone answer these questions.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.93.242 (talk) 14:06, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
