Leading Russian businessman warns Europe from growing xenophobia, anti-Semitism and tolerance towards Iran - by Viatcheslav Kantor
Europe paid a high price for its tolerance for other people’s Intolerance – 50 million Europeans were wiped from the face of earth, including 6 million European Jews. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has existed for nearly 60 years, Europe still has no tolerance laws, pan-European laws to counteract xenophobia and anti-Semitism. Of course, we live in a world where not all are equal. Those who are more equal than others make the rules of the game. They make sure others follow the rules, and they change the rules when they feel they have become out of date.We live in Europe, and Europe is diverse. There is the European Community, comprising Old Europe and New Europe. There are Western European states that are not EU members, for instance Switzerland. There is a mosaic of Balkan states, some of which Europe is happy to admit or is prepared to admit on certain terms; others, perhaps, will never be accepted.
