- "It pains
me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism is not just tolerated in
some sections of the British Muslim community; it is routine and commonplace.
Any Muslims reading this article – if they are honest with
themselves – will know instantly what I am referring to. It is our
dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim
anti-Semitism." — Mehdi Hasan, The New Statesman.
- "There isn't
much of a desire to do anything about it [the problem of
antisemitism]. It should also be said that the so-called interfaith
outreach work... achieves almost nothing. A couple of old bearded
men get together and agree on some dietary thing they've got in
common, but it doesn't solve the fact that anti-Semitism mainly
comes from Muslim communities these days. ... that that's taught in
many mosques and many Muslim schools..." — Douglas Murray,
British commentator.
- The question
that arises is, are the elites of Sweden in general suffering from a
case of Stockholm syndrome? Are we encouraging our adversaries to
Islamize Sweden, which in the long run, might result in the
abolition of freedom of religion, forcing Jews and Christians to
live as dhimmis [subjugated citizens] in humiliation?
- If by allowing
hundreds of thousands of Muslims to settle here -- people much more
hateful of Jews than the average German during the Nazi era -- are
we not in fact paving the way for another Holocaust?
In January 2009, an Arab mob in Malmö pelted a
peaceful Jewish demonstration with bottles, eggs and smoke bombs. The
police pushed the Jews, who had a permit for their gathering, into an
alley.
One of the most visible effects of Muslim mass immigration into
Sweden is that anti-Semitism is very much on the rise in the country.
Swedish Jews are being harassed and threatened, mainly in the
Muslim-dense city of Malmö, where in January 2009, the friction deepened
during a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration. Demonstrators were attacked
by pro-Palestinian counter demonstrators, who threw eggs and bottles at
the supporters of Israel. The mayor of Malmö at the time, Ilmar Reepalu,
failed to take a clear stance against the violence, and was accused of
preferring the approval of the city's large Muslim population to
protecting Jews. He remarked, among other things, that "of course
the conflict in Gaza has spilled over into Malmö."

- A segment of
Christians is actually trying to delude the world into thinking the
absurd: that the ancient Jews of Canaan and Judea are
"colonialists" who are "illegally occupying"
their own native land.
- Seemingly
undeterred by their 2016 defeats, the Christian anti-Israel
coalitions are regrouping for their next attacks, while pro-Israel
Christian Zionist organizations -- including Christians United for
Israel (CUFI), Friends of Israel (FOI), International Christian
Embassy of Jerusalem (ICEJ) and Bridges for Peace, among others,
continue to speak out and teach the facts and the truth about Israel
to Christians throughout the U.S. and Europe.
- Still, the
Bible gives us hope and assurance that there is a future day when
Israel will be able to bask in the elusive peace it demonstrably
continues to offer those who are trying to destroy it.
In breaking news yesterday, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America approved a resolution calling on the U.S. government to end all
aid to Israel if Israel does not stop building settlements and
"enable an independent Palestinian state."
Several international Christian policy conferences this summer have
produced a mixed bag of both blessings and curses -- all aimed at Israel.
The United Methodists, The Southern Baptists, The Presbyterian Church
(USA) and the Unitarian Universalists are worth noting here.
United
Methodists
From the quadrennial United Methodist General Conference (UMGC), the
good news is that the four major divestment and boycott proposals were
defeated in committee before ever reaching a floor vote. The primary
targets of the defeated boycott campaign were Caterpillar and Motorola,
the corporate giants alleged -- in a totally fictitious plot -- to be
co-conspirators with Israel supposedly to disable and destroy the
Palestinian people.
