[quote]It has been in the background at some of the demonstrations against Israeli actions in Gaza. Recently, during a protest in Paris, a synagogue was attacked and there were chants of "Jews to the gas chambers". In Sarcelles they used the slogan "death to the Jews" and a kosher market was looted. Jewish groups have tracked an increase in the use of the words "dirty Jew" on Twitter. In Berlin, too, similar language has been used at protest marches. An imam at a Berlin mosque apparently called for the murder of Zionist Jews. It led the Israeli Ambassador to Berlin, Yakov Hadas-Handelsman, to say "they pursue the Jews in the streets of Berlin as if it were in 1938". Outside Europe, too, there are echoes of the past. In Mosul in Iraq, the extremist group the Islamic State (formerly Isis) has painted the letter N for Nassarah on the doors of Christians. They were told to "convert to Islam, pay a tax or be put to the sword". Most of them chose to flee. It led an Anglican leader in Baghdad to say that for the first time in more than 1,600 years the city of Mosul will have been emptied of Christians. A colleague of mine said recently that in 25 years he could not recall the Middle East so riven by violence.[/quote] [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28530283]The UK is to send a "full battle group" of 1,350 military personnel to Poland for a major exercise, it has been announced. They will take part in Exercise Black Eagle - a series of Nato manoeuvres to support allies in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States - in October, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon announced on a trip to Warsaw. The commitment is Britain's largest to the region since 2008. It comes amid tensions over Ukraine. The UK had already sent RAF Typhoon jets to support Nato in the area following Russia's annexation of Crimea, the Ministry of Defence said. British personnel have also taken part in small-scale Army exercises in the region. Mr Fallon said: "It is right that Nato members and partners demonstrate our commitment to the collective security of our allies in Eastern Europe, so I am pleased to confirm our participation in these exercises. "In particular, the commitment of a battle group to Exercise Black Eagle shows our sustained and substantial support to Nato's eastern border."

It seems the old Empires of old are trying to rebuild themselves in the face of The USA, Europe and China.
