Anti-Semitic Attacks Are Happening Across the Globe

Ever since the Oct. 7th attack the world has born witness to levels of anti-Semitic attacks that haven’t been witnessed in decades.  The Oct. 7th attack followed by Israel's armed response to it had led to waves of Jihadist terror attacks targeting Jews to happen all over the globe.  College Campuses have witnessed mobs trapping Jewish students in academic buildings.  Airplanes with Israeli passengers have nearly been stormed by murderous mobs.  Signs praising Hamas and cursing Israel have been seen all across the globe, and it's only getting worse.  The last few weeks have witnessed Jihadists targeting Jews in France, Russia, & the United States.  

Jihadists Burn Derbent Synagogue of Russia

In the wake of the horrific Moscow attack by ISIS that left 145 people dead, the nation now witnessed another horrific Jihadist attack in the district of Dagestan that killed 20 people.  In this Muslim-majority district in Russia Jihadist gunmen armed with automatic weapons attacked a Russian Orthodox Church & killed 66-year-old Orthodox priest Nikolai Kotelnikov.  At the same time other gunmen attached & burned down the Derbent Synagogue.  The Jihadist gunmen then carried out a fierce battle near the Assumption Cathedral in Makhachkala, killing four civilians and 15 police officers.  Five of the Jihadist attackers were also killed.  Many are now beginning to fear that these ongoing Jihadist attacks could trigger another war that was akin to the two previous Russian-Chechen Wars.  

Anti-Semitic attacks have also erupted in France, where the nation has witnessed a 300% rise in anti-Semitic incidents over the past three months.  The most recent attack was that of a 12-year-old French-Jewish girl being attacked & gang-raped by three Muslim migrant teenagers.  Though French authorities tried to keep the nature of the rape under wraps, it was soon revealed that the migrant boys assaulted the young girl because she was Jewish.  They hurled anti-Semitic remarks at and spewed curses on Israel.  

Of the 1676 recorded incidents of anti-Semitic attacks n France, authorities estimated that 13% of these incidents occurred at school.  Sadly, even the nation of the United States has not been immune to this surge of anti-Semitism.  Here in the U.S. radical Palestinian protestors have launched targeted protests for the purpose of intimidating & in some cases, attacking Jews.  The most recent of which was at the Adas Torah Temple in Los Angeles.


On the day that the Palestinian protestors targeted the Synagogue, they were hosting an "Israeli Real Estate Event" to market the selling of potential homes in Israel.  The protestors learned about this event and chose this specific day to launch their campaign to disrupt it.  Protestors swarmed on the Synagogue, chanting "Long Live the Intifada" & "From the River to the Sea Palestine Will be Free."  These are chants that are not calling for a two-state solution, but a single state that would see the annihilation of the Jewish state.  Protestors began heckling, and in some cases throwing projectiles & fists at the Jews who tried to defend their Synagogue.  It was clear that the Palestinian protestors came looking to start a fight.  Rabbi Hertzel decried the action, stating that Jews wouldn't go and protest at a mosque, and Christians wouldn't either, but because they're Jews and because it concerns Israel, attempting to storm a Synagogue is viewed as "acceptable" by the Palestinian activists.  

These global attacks are happening not simply because of the recent Israeli-Gaza conflict, but because Jihadists view Infidels anywhere in the world as being "the enemy" and they are prepared to use any means necessary  to fight their "enemies" no matter where they are in the world.  The conflict is not a regional Middle East conflict, but a global conflict, and no nation can escape it.  We must unify against this Jihadist threat, before it overwhelms all of us.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere.

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the
