A new report by the Antisemitism Research Center of the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) reveals a rise in attacks on Jewish institutions worldwide – particularly shuls.
In January and February of this year, there were 33 reported attacks, with 15 directed at shuls. The United States had the highest number of incidents, with 12 attacks. Those numbers represent a shocking 71.4% increase in attacks on U.S. shuls in the same time period last year. The attacks counted in the study included threats of violence, vandalism, and hateful language or conduct.
“It is clear from this report and the scenes we are regularly witnessing on social media that synagogues have become the de facto frontlines for those who seek to target Jews,” CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa said. “Over the last few years, we have seen a surge in attacks on synagogues by neo-Nazis and radical Islamists who all appear to see Jewish places of worship as legitimate targets. It cannot be that a Jew must fear for their safety when attending synagogue.”
“We call on governments and law enforcement agencies around the world to take a holistic approach to the increasingly spreading global pandemic of hate against Jews and Jewish institutions,” Dratwa said.

Some of the swastikas are drawn with error like the Arabs do..
“The Jewish people are optimists, addicted to a passionate belief that they cannot possibly have enemies bent on their destruction.”

=========================
In any attempt at defining their specific psyche or “mystique,” we must include that most puzzling and yet most revealing contradiction in the Jewish mentality:
the apparent inability of the Jews to understand or predict their own catastrophes. The Jews, whose history consists of one tragedy after another, have yet to be prepared for any one of them.
Clemenceau, who as a young man witnessed the most notorious of anti-Jewish trials, the affair of Alfred Dreyfus, is supposed to have remarked that “only the defendant did not understand” the Jewish implications of the trial. It can be safely said that the only ones who were oblivious to the possibility of their own destruction in 15th-century Spain were the Jews. So they surrendered, died or lost their fortunes, and those who survived were finally expelled from the land of their birth.
This sort of blindness has been true throughout Jewish history.
Jews have always been the last to know what everyone else could have predicted.
It is as if they simply do not believe it possible.
As far as they were concerned, it “happened overnight.”
They packed up and left. But nothing really happened “overnight.”

Square Root: the guy didn’t know what he was talking about. We are acutely aware of the threats against us every single day. We are told to put our faith in Hashem to save us instead of taking up arms. Unfortunately many Jews lost their faith in Hashem in the concentration camps, where they saw ehrluche Jews murdered.
Why is all this hateful incidents happening under the Biden administration???! Joe Biden promised us an aura of civility.
