| The worldwide frenzy against Israel | |
| 2025-07-25 | |
| [IsraelNationalNews] Over the past few days, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish feeling has been ratcheted up into an absolute frenzy. Every few hours seems to bring a fresh outrage. In London, a prominent Jewish broadcaster was chased down the street by a man screaming, "fascist Zionist scum." A woman dining at a Jewish restaurant in the city was asked if she was a Jew and then had food thrown over her. On the Greek island of Rhodes, a mob armed with knives attacked a group of Jewish teenagers. About 50 French Jewish children, returning from a summer camp in Spain, were thrown off a flight at Valencia airport after the children sang Hebrew songs, and their tour leader was arrested and thrown to the ground. The BBC’s obsession with demonizing and delegitimizing Israel has reached pathological proportions. This week, it gave pride of place on its flagship radio show Today to ever-more twisted accusations and blood libels casting Israel as an evil and murderous state, including the insane claim by a British surgeon working in Gaza that the Israel Defense Forces were playing a game in shooting Gazan boys in the food queues by targeting a different part of their body every day. The broadcasting behemoth could scarcely contain its excitement as reporters and interviewees joined in chorusing that "a reckoning was coming" with the imminent end of the war in Gaza, after which Israel’s "war crimes" would be revealed, and the case for declaring a Palestine state was therefore now overwhelming. This propaganda onslaught consists of three major libels: that the IDF is deliberately killing Gazans queueing for food, that Israel is starving Gazans to death, and that "settler violence" against Arabs is increasing in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. All three claims seek to turn Israel from being the target and victim of genocidal attack into a murderous criminal entity that doesn’t deserve to survive. It’s a propaganda onslaught mounted by Hamas acting in concert with its allies in the United Nations and the entire global "humanitarian" establishment, pumped out through a media megaphone and parroted by politicians who are either malevolent or clueless. Nobody ever said that being a Jew is easy.

| #1 ...Here in Columbia, we've not had any incidents like this - we're a comfortably red state; SC has one of the oldest if not the oldest) Jewish populations in the country, and everybody is pretty much live and let live. We do, however, have a close friend who is Jewish. And I am advising him to start carrying. Someday it's going to get here, and I want him to be ready. Mike |
