(Jewish Group) Is This How 1933 Felt Like?

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

“Let’s kill some Jews,” tweeted an Egyptian actor and writer with more than 800,000 followers. Even while Twitter suspended his account soon after he sparked outrage, apparently the actor had been tweeting various antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming that Jews are rapists and have a “deal with the devil.”

And in London, reportedly an Orthodox man was forced to flee from a knife-wielding attacker who threatened to “behead” him just this past Monday. The man was walking to work in the Whitechapel district in east London when he was accosted by someone who called him a “f**** Jew” before pulling out a knife, said the report.

Is it any wonder that antisemitism is a growing concern for the majority of Europe’s young Jewish people? According to a new report released this week by the European Union’s Agency for Fundamental Human Rights, 90% of young Jews surveyed think that anti-Jewish sentiment has risen on social media and the internet in general. The study revealed that 44% “experienced at least one incident of harassment in the 12 months before the survey” and worse, “45% are scared to appear Jewish in public”!

Is it any wonder then that 41% of the survey respondents are considering leaving Europe, as they do not feel safe living a Jewish life? Unlike 1933 or 1939 for that matter, thankfully we have Israel – our intended safe haven – our place of refuge. When Theodore Herzl dreamed of the Jewish State, and in Basel in 1897 during the first Zionist Congress as he gathered Jewish leaders from the four corners of the world, he understood that because of and in spite of antisemitism, the Jewish State must be reborn.
