RUTHFULLY YOURS

If the demonstrators really cared about Palestinians, as the Muslim Arab journalist Bassam Tawil points out, “they would be speaking out against the repressive measures and human rights violations perpetrated by Hamas in the Gaza Strip…. instead of improving the living conditions of their people, Hamas and PIJ leaders are imposing new taxes and leading comfortable lives in Qatar, Lebanon and other countries. Instead of bringing democracy and freedom of speech to their people, the terror groups are arresting and intimidating journalists, human rights activists and political opponents.”

“Racial hatred and hysteria seemed to have taken complete hold of otherwise decent people,” said an eyewitness. “I saw fashionably dressed women clapping their hands and screaming with glee, while respectable middle-class mothers held up their babies to see the ‘fun.'” — Eyewitness to the November 9, 1938 Kristallnacht.

Jihadist media efforts, and especially massive donations to universities from Qatar and other oil-rich Islamic countries, have been so successful that many academics and students in Western tertiary educational institutions have been captivated by the narrow ideology of Jew-hate.

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.” — Zuheir Mohsen, PLO official, Trouw, March 1977.

In the jihadist view, Islam is the one true faith and therefore Christians, Jews, Hindus, and all other “disbelievers” are following a false religion and therefore can be righteously killed as apostates.

“[T]he Crusaders conquered Eretz Israel, reaching Jerusalem in 1099. Once there, they gathered all the Jews of Jerusalem into the central synagogue and set it afire. Other Jews, who had climbed to the roof of Al-Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount, were caught and beheaded.” — ‘The First Crusade,’ chabad.org

It didn’t make it into either presidential debate conducted this year. Nor is it on any of the top 10 lists of issues most important to Americans in 2024, such as the one produced by the Pew Research Center. But those who think that woke ideologies, which have captured so much of America’s education system, as well as the government bureaucracy and even the arts, pose only a minor threat to America’s future are mistaken. 

As much as any other topic, the fate of this wildly successful movement will determine what kind of country Americans live in for decades to come. And as fateful as the decision will be for the entire electorate as to whether the government should take the initiative in rolling back the woke tide, it will be especially important for American Jewry.

If there is one thing glaringly apparent since Oct. 7, it is the surge in antisemitism, primarily fueled by the political left’s widespread belief that Israel is a “settler/colonial” and “apartheid” state. Added to that is the ultimate expression of “white” supremacy—a label that has been extended to cover all Jews who support it and even those who don’t. 

The reason for this enthusiasm for radical movements that see Zionism as a form of racism is the way it fits neatly into the mindset of critical race theory and intersectionality, which divide all of humanity into two eternally warring groups: people of color who can only be victims, and “whites” who are always oppressors.

This same set of beliefs has inspired the widespread adoption of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) rules throughout the education system and virtually every other sector of American society. Moreover, this woke catechism was officially incorporated into every government department and agency by President Joe Biden on his first day in office in January 2021. That means that along with all the other woke commissars dominating admissions and discipline in higher education, as well as much of corporate America, and casting and programming choices in arts organizations, they are now also present throughout the federal bureaucracy.

The late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks declared:

  “To defend a land, you need an army. But to defend freedom, you need education.”  

We are coming up to the anniversary of the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. And just as we have heard Holocaust deniers, we now have Oct 7 deniers, and when not denying they are justifying the massacre-it’s resistance to Occupation!

Really? Well, throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Palestinian terrorist groups like the Green Hand, the Black Hand, and others, murdered Jews, officials from the British Mandatory government that controlled the area after World War I, and Arab critics.  That had nothing to do with Occupation or resistance – it has to do with innate, endemic, systemic Jew hatred.

The Jewish world began 1500 years before the Common Era. Islam entered the world in the 7th century CE in Saudi Arabia – not Israel – or the name Rome gave to the land Philistia-now translated to Palestine. So, how is it that Jews living on the land more than 1500 years before Muslims are the occupiers? Seems to me this is the result of the New Math and innate, systemic, endemic Jew hatred.

And we must debunk the New Math and the occupier lies and accusations of genocide. How do we do that? Shock! Education. Too many Jews in the Diaspora and Israel have no idea of the history of the Jewish people in her legal historical and biblical land. How can they present a strong front to the millions, if not billions, of Jew haters if they don’t know their own history, including up to the present?
We have failed our Jewish young people.

But there is hope. Now, more organizations are reaching out to our Jewish youth around the world. We must come together and build an extraordinary curriculum that will serve our Young Jewish people. Giving them facts will give them the backbone they need to push back on the Jew hatred, especially on campus since the horrific barbaric massacre of Jews in Israel October 7.

On Tuesday night, a mob of anti-Israel rioters descended on the debate hall in Philadelphia where former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) met for the first time in the campaign.

According to the New York Post, the crowd clashed repeatedly with nearly 100 police officers in riot gear as the candidates debated inside the National Constitution Center. Leaders of the mob claim that at least three of them were arrested.

Police used their bikes to create makeshift shields with which to push the rioters back, while rioters wore keffiyehs, devil masks, and other forms of face coverings. At least one rioter ignited a red flare. Although other protesters were present, expressing opposition to other matters such as abortion and President Trump himself, only the anti-Israel crowd was left by the end of the night, with the outbreak of violence scaring all of the other protesters away.

During the debate, Harris shifted her position dramatically by declaring that she has always supported Israel’s right to defend itself ever since the deadly terrorist attacks by the Islamic group Hamas on October 7th, 2023, which killed over 1,400 Israelis.

President Trump attacked her for her past anti-Israel stances, saying she “hates Israel,” while also criticizing her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) for his anti-Israel statements.

The issue of Israel has proven to be a divisive one in the presidential campaign for the last year. Following the attacks on October 7th, anti-Semitic protests and riots have sprouted up all over the country, particularly on college campuses, with young Americans and Muslim Americans overwhelmingly demanding the destruction of Israel, using the anti-Semitic chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

EXCERPT

Even though they clashed on big issues – including the economy and abortion rights – the debate felt strangely substance-free.

It is the hollowness of the contest that means such thin fare as childless cat ladies and cat-eating immigrants can dominate the headlines.

My advice to the candidates: get off the internet. Worry less about what will get you likes from people who haven’t seen sunlight in months, and more about what America’s hard-working families want and need. Forget cat-eating immigrants and cat-loving billionaires, and talk to real people, in the real world, most of whom have dogs anyway, and children. From the economy to housing to the border, America has many crises, and the people deserve a vision for how to fix them. There are 55 days left – up your game.

ADL further recorded a total of 400 antisemitic incidents on college and university campuses, compared to only 33 incidents during the same period in 2022. Ugly incidents of U.S. campus antisemitism persisted throughout the spring 2024 semester year.

Routine empirical, if taboo, observation clearly indicates that often, the most vociferous and violent U.S. student campus antisemites share a common Islamic/Muslim religio-ethnic identity. A courageous, expansive Brandeis University study was just published addressing the potential validity of this anecdotal observation by analyzing U.S. undergraduate college student religious affiliation as a critical, independent factor animating their Jew-hatred.

Sadly, but with depressing predictability, the study’s seminal, if corroborative findings are being ignored by media, and the most voluble talking heads and “public intellectuals,” across the ideological spectrum.

The study authors concluded that although “a climate of universal anti-Jewish hatred” did not exist, Jewish student concerns about antisemitism were justified, and “driven by about a third of students who held distinct patterns of beliefs about Jews and Israel.” Specifically, “Identifying as Muslim was significantly associated with being either hostile to Israel or hostile to Jews, even after controlling for other factors.” Furthermore, compared to Christians, for example, Muslims were 2.6-fold more likely to harbor the most virulent antisemitism, namely, shared hostility to both Israel and Jews.

Since 2004, ADL surveys of Muslims have been conducted in Western (European and U.S.) societies, and Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries, where Islam is the state religion. MENA Muslim nations are by wide margins the 16 most antisemitic countries worldwide, where the prevalence of extreme antisemitism ranges from a “low” of 74% (in Egypt and Saudi Arabia), to 93% (among the Palestinian Muslims of Gaza, and the West Bank).

Largely consistent with these ADL MENA Muslim data, and strikingly concordant with the 2.6-fold excess of extreme Muslim antisemitism, relative to extreme Christian antisemitism, just revealed by the Brandeis study of U.S. college students, 2015, 2019, and 2023 ADL Western European reports, and a 2017 ADL U.S. report, found a 2- to 4-fold excess prevalence of extreme antisemitism, among Muslims versus Christians, or non-Muslims.

Discussion of the most plausible and discernible explanation for this global surfeit of Muslim Jew-hatred is also shunned: relentless inculcation of antisemitic motifs from the Qur’an itself, and other core Islamic texts, by the pre-eminent authoritative religious teaching institutions in Islam, such as Al-Azhar University, Sunni Islam’s putative “Vatican.”

Identical, canonically sourced Jew-hating Islamic religious indoctrination is ubiquitous, and even embellished, in mainstream U.S. mosques, a baleful practice that has intensified following October 7, 2023.

Since October 7, antisemitism has metastasized, growing from chants and signs held at rallies to violence and threats against Jews. This is by no means an exhaustive list — sadly, the incidents are likely too great in number to catalog — but it is a window into the conditions Jews have faced in America and the West since Hamas attacked Israel and antisemites celebrated. We will update this list as necessary, and unfortunately, it seems like it will be necessary.
