“Law enforcement must protect all citizens equally. When Jewish homes, schools, and businesses are targeted and police fail to act, that reflects political directives from higher authorities.”
It’s time to stop pretending. The wave of anti-Jewish violence sweeping across North America, and increasingly across Europe and Australia, is not random. These are not isolated incidents. This is a pattern—deliberate, organized, and increasingly deadly. If we don’t confront this escalating threat now, the question is not if it will happen again, but when, and how many will die next time.
Just over a week ago in Boulder, Colorado, Jews were set on fire. A man shouting “Free Palestine”—now too often synonymous with “Kill the Jews”—hurled homemade firebombs into an older Jewish crowd marching peacefully in solidarity with the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. This was a calculated act of terror: burn the Jews, light them on fire—just as the Nazis did during the Holocaust, and just as Hamas did on October 7. This act of terror should send shockwaves across every nation that claims to uphold human rights and civilized values.
Days earlier in Toronto, a man appeared at the city’s annual Walk with Israel event, carrying what looked like a grenade. Real or not, the message was clear: intimidation. That Toronto police looked the other way, whether by command or complacency, is deeply alarming. And a week before that, in Washington DC, two young Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down point-blank outside the Capital Jewish Museum by a man shouting, “Free Palestine.”
These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re the result of years of unchecked Islamic radicalization—fueled by far-left media, Islamic-sympathizing neo-Marxist professors who glorify terror and demonize Israel, and indoctrinated hyper-woke students raised on a steady diet of anti-West and anti-Israel propaganda. …SOURCE
