Jews worldwide are under attack as anti-Israel protests become mini-pogroms, with synagogues vandalized and Jews assaulted. This happens whenever Israel is being targeted - Jews everywhere become a target, too. If anti-Zionism is NOT antisemitism, why is this? THREAD
A few examples from around the world. First, Britain.
A rabbi in London was beaten following a protest at which the mob shouted "Fuck the Jews, Rape their Daughters!"

Palestinian activists have run down Jews with cars.

Concerned social justice activists chanting “Khaybar Khaybar, ya Yahud, Jaish Muhammad, sa Yahud,” which means “Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Muhammad is returning.” This refers to a battle in 628 when followers of Mohammed massacred Jews.
This sickness has even spread to Canada, where a Jewish man was beaten in the streets and a woman was sexually assaulted by an anti-Israel mob.

Of course, what’s a pro-Palestine protest without a giant hook-nosed, satanic, horned Jew? To these dedicated human rights activists Jews are one evil entity. Note also that the Free Palestine crowd are Socialist Workers. Workers of the world unite! - against the Jews, I guess.
And now the protests and pogroms have come to America. Jews eating outdoors at a sushi place in LA were attacked by Palestinian activists yesterday.

Today a synagogue in Tucson was vandalized.

This follows MONTHS of assaults on Jews in NYC, the murder of Jews in Jersey City, Pittsburgh, and Poway, California, the machete attack on Jews in Monsey, NY, etc. etc, etc.
The torrent of hatred online has become a social media pogrom. Here's a fairly mild example - no swearing, no slurs, no images of dead Jews. Just Hitler.
Btw, this instagram post is from a student govt leader at @BaruchCollege in Manhattan.
To those who are sincerely moved to condemn, protest, and make defamatory posts against Israel, fine. But please be careful. Because these are your peers and their actions endanger Jews everywhere. If that's your idea of social justice and human rights, heaven help us all.
And tonight we have more violence against Jews in Los Angeles
And today in Manhattan.

"Not only is Israel under siege from rocket fire, but the truth itself is under siege. There’s been an ongoing propaganda war and the narrative that is dominating is one that attempts to normalize Hamas and delegitimize Israel."
"Wiping Israel off the map is the objective of the BDS movement..My issue is not criticism. My issue is the lack of nuance in the democratic socialist critique of Israel. What is often directed toward Israel is not criticism. It feels like hatred."

The catalyst for the current violence is not really about Israelis and Palestinians. It's a Civil War by Proxy between Hamas and the PA, replacing the cancelled election. Each side competes for 'legitimacy' by demonstrating who can organize more violence against Israelis.
THREAD
Palestinian Pres. Abbas is in the 16th yr of a 4yr term. He called elections for April and his main campaign strategy was to incite small scale violence against Jews, a way of proving he is as committed to 'resistance' as his arch political opponents, the terror group Hamas.
When it was clear that Abbas' party, Fatah, faced certain defeat, he cancelled the elections, as everyone knew he would. Then Abbas did what every Palestinian leader has done for 100 years to gain followers: created a crisis over Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This a disturbing story that needs to be remembered and told. #OnThisDay 10 yrs ago, 2 cousins, Amjad Mahmad Awad (18) & Hakim Mazen Awad (17) murdered an entire Jewish family in their beds. The Palestinian Authority has paid them over $200k to date as a reward. THREAD
They stabbed to death a mother Ruth (35), father Udi (36), 2 young boys Yoav (11) & Elad (4) and decapitated a baby girl, Hadas (3 months).

The Fogel Family Massacre was so horrific even Palestinian Authority Pres. Mahmoud Abbas and PM Salam Fayyad condemned the attack.
Still, the Palestinian Authority has paid over $200K to these killers as a REWARD. After 10 years they actually get a raise. Despite global criticism and aid cuts by US, Australia, Holland & others, Pal. Pres. Abbas says the PA will spend its last penny paying these murderers.

Some post-#Chanukah history - The Menorah, Rome, and Jerusalem.
THREAD
The Arch of Titus in Rome was erected in 82 CE to celebrate Roman Emperor Titus' victory over the Jews in Judea, including the siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The captive Jews are shown carrying sacred Temple vessels, including the golden menorah, away from Jerusalem to Rome.
In the 16th century Pope Paul IV forced Rome's Jews to recite an annual oath of submission to Christendom while standing under the arch. For centuries thereafter, Jews refused to walk underneath the arch.

Yes, Al-Qaeda was responsible for 9/11. But Al-Qaeda did not act alone. US Federal Courts have repeatedly held that IRAN and its proxy HEZBOLLAH were directly and materially responsible for the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Here is the rest of the story.

THREAD #NeverForget
The 9/11 Commission report stated “there is strong evidence" implicating Iran and Hezbollah, requiring "further investigation by the US government.” Based on that, in 2004 hundreds of 9/11 families brought the case "Havlish et al v. Bin-Laden, Iran, et al" to Federal court.
After 7 yrs, in 2011 Judge George B. Daniels of the US District Court in Manhattan issued “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” that “The Islamic Republic of Iran…engaged in and supported terrorism as an instrument of foreign policy..” including aiding and abetting Al-Qaeda.

There is a 21st century Holocaust happening in China right now, and once again the world is completely indifferent. But YOU don't have to be. #BoycottChina

1M+ Uighur people, an ethnic/religious minority, are held in concentration forced labor camps, tortured, raped, murdered. Survivors report electrocution, beatings, unknown injections, & mental torture meant to break them psychologically as well as physically. #BoycottChina
Women of childbearing age are hunted down “dragnet-style”and undergo forced sterilization, abortions, and unknown drugs. At least half a million Uighur children have been separated from their families, placed in state “children shelters.” #BoycottChina
