Paris area synagogue firebombed
Two Molotov cocktails were hurled at a synagogue north of Paris, the latest attack in what the interior minister said Monday is a new wave of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim attacks over the violence in Gaza.
Jews are the enemies of Allah and should be killed
“Jews are the enemies of Allah,” and therefore by definition are the enemies of all Muslims. This opinion is expressed by Dr. Walid Al-Rashudi, head of the Department of Islamic Studies at Saud University in Saudi Arabia, in a speech broadcast last week on Hamas TV. The religious scholar also prays for the extermination of all Jews: “Kill them one by one and don’t leave even one.”
Turkey: Antisemitism Gets Out of Control
Breaking News: A bomb has been exploded midnight January 12 near the Israeli investment bank ‘Bank Pozitif’ which is close to the Israeli Consulate Building in Istanbul.The Prime Minister in Turkey has encouraged hatred against Israel in his speeches which has become obvious anti-Semitic propaganda among the general public.
There are people around the clock besieging the Israeli consulate in Istanbul shouting their hatred against Israel and Jewish people. All around Istanbul billboards are full of propaganda posters against Israel like; “Moses, even this is not written in your book†and “Israel Stop this Crime.†On the streets the people are writing such graffiti as: “Kill Jews,†“Kill Israel,†“Israel should no longer exist in the Middle East,†and “Stop Israeli Massacre.â€
The week-end before, some people wrote, “We will kill you†on the door of one of the biggest synagogues in Izmir resulted in the closing down of synagogues. Near Istanbul University, a group put a huge poster on the door of a shop owned by a Jew: “Do not buy from here, since this shop is owned by a Jew.†A group put posters on his wall saying that: “Jews and Armenians are not allowed but dogs are allowed.†Some young people are even threatening others with violence if they are seen as pro-Israel in social networking websites such as Facebook and Hi5.
“Kill Jewish people evrywhere in their world :-) !!!”
“Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas.”
Gaza op prompts wave of anti-Semitism in Belgium
A Molotov cocktail was thrown at the liberal synagogue in Brussels on Monday. No injuries were reported, but the building sustained damage.“Things are heating up here in Belgium,” said Jewish Agency and Bnei Akiva envoy in Antwerp Meir Vachotzker. “When the fighting in Gaza started, a Molotov cocktail and a rock were hurled at a synagogue in Charlerois and caused damage.”
On Saturday unknown assailants attempted to torch the house of a Jewish family in Antwerp. An eyewitness who resides nearby alerted the police to the place and they managed to extinguish the flames before the house caught fire.
Saturday also saw large demonstrations by Muslims and left-wing activists against Israel and in support of Hamas. Vachotzker said that the protesters set Israeli flags aflame, burned a Chabad menorah and sprayed swastikas and hate graffiti on Jewish-owned shops. The police arrested some 50 rioters.
And once again: It’s not anti-Semitism. It’s anti-Zionism.
Except it isn’t. It’s the world’s oldest hatred.
Now, Meryl, be fair. Let’s also report the mosques and Muslim institutions that are attacked by furious Jews, and the Muslim civilians walking the streets of non-Middle East cities who are roughed up as they go about their business. And let’s quote the rabbis and other Jewish scholars who call for the killing of Muslims.
Failure to do so, Meryl, might lead your readers to believe that Israelis and Jews generally are not responding to Moslem threats and attacks in kind.
Alex,
You needed to put an “oh wait…” somewhere in there.
Muslims should go easy on the genocide talk and the rest of their “Kill the Jews” hysteria. One day the rest of the world will get fed up with Muslim attacks on the rest of humanity, and say “What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. You condoned and shrieked for the genocide of the Jews. You have no right to complain if we do it to you.”
