Who is Benefiting from Hating Jews?
(re-worked Face-Book post)
If you think about it, hatred of Jews has never been beneficial to societies itself. This was a good deal for:
– Radical, political, or religious ideologies.
– Dictators
All of them were looking for a ‘comfortable enemy’. Judaism is a religion of personal responsibility and law. It is dangerous to totalitarian regimes.
Jews are still being accused of control of the world, and crucifying Christ.
Why the Jews?
1. A convenient version of the ‘stranger’ image.
Jews often lived among other nations, preserving their culture and faith. This made them a convenient target for the ‘script’: “they are not like us; they are bad; they are guilty.”
2. A distraction from the real issues.
When the economy collapses, power is weak or society is in crisis, it’s very convenient to say: “It’s not us to blame – it’s them.”
There have been many ways of vilification and intimidation of Jews through history (still are)! Followed by:
POGROMS – Middle Ages.
HOLOCAUST – Nazi Germany.
3. Property and control.
There is always material gain behind Jew-hate. After the pogroms:
– Jewish homes were taken.
– Jews lost their business and money.
This goes back to medieval times. Kings that needed money threw out Jews and took their property.
Bottom line: Any regime or political agenda that need an enemy to detract attention from the real issues use Jew-hate. It is easy to gather crowds of ‘useful idiots’ and justify anti-Semitic and anti-Israel violence.
Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Fatah, and their international Jew-hating supporters chant “Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea”. No room for Israel! There are many Arab/Muslim states where Jews have no rights and from where they were expelled from. Let the fake Palestinians leave Jewish land and claim their rights, among their Arab brothers. If Israel agrees to another useless cease-fire without removing the enemies from Gaza, which will be broken as usual by the enemies at the time of their choosing, it will be another military and political failure. It will be perceived by ALL enemies of Israel as a weakness.

Stop Weaponizing the Word “Genocide”
Some 112 of the world’s leading Holocaust and genocide scholars have issued a forceful rebuke against what they describe as the cynical corruption of one of the gravest words in human history: “Genocide”. he Genocide Convention of 1948, a cornerstone of modern international law that defines genocide not by casualty numbers, but by intent, purpose, and policy – the intentional destruction of a people as a people. The scholars describe it as the weaponization of language against Israel.
Uncertainty of Gaza Reconstruction
While several associations have been announced to manage Gaza’s reconstruction, their respective roles and coordination remain undefined. “It is not clear what the various structures are or how they are supposed to function as we enter Phase II. Everything is still in relative flux,” said Dr. Bishara Bahbah, Americans for Global Peace President.
Ahead of Rafah reopening, Hamas continues violating the ceasefire, with terrorists continuing to threaten IDF troops in Gaza. Often, IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip identified terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line, planting an explosive device in the area, and approaching the troops, posing an immediate threat to them. IDF conducted strikes on eight terrorists emerging from underground in eastern Rafah early Friday morning.
Kazakhstan Joining the Abraham Accords
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar praised Kazakhstan’s decision to join the Abraham Accords. Sa’ar also reflected on Jewish history and thanked Kazakhstan for sheltering Jews who fled Nazi persecution. Sa’ar called Kazakhstan “a true friend and an important partner for Israel” and said the two countries would deepen cooperation in water, agriculture, innovation, and food security.
After 843 days and 12 hours, Israel stopped the hostage clock. The clock was officially retired a day after Israeli soldiers recovered the body of Ran Gvili, a young police officer who was killed on Oct. 7 and whose body was that of the last remaining hostage in Gaza. (The job is not finished. Hamas is still not neutralised, and supporting its population is still occupying Gaza.)
The US ‘Imposed’ Reopening Crossing on Israel
With Israel’s security cabinet poised to authorize reopening of Rafah crossing, officials say the decision was “imposed” by the US on Israel, which was blindsided by announcement at a Board of Peace inauguration. The Trump administration reportedly explicitly told Netanyahu that Rafah must be opened in the near future, with Netanyahu agreeing to the demand. (Did he have a choice?)
Quote of the Week:
“We must explain to him (Trump) that his plan is bad for the State of Israel, and cancel it. Gaza is ours, and its future will affect our future more than that of anyone else. Therefore, we are taking responsibility for what happens there, imposing military rule, and completing the mission.” – Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Regime Change in Iran is Overdue
by Dr. Joseph Frager
The Iranian Regime will fall. It is not a question of if but a question of when. They have been the chief sponsor of Terrorism for 47 long years. Their list of Evil grows longer by the day.
On October 23, 1983, they killed 241 American Servicemen in Beirut via their proxy Hezbollah. In 1992, they killed 29 at the Israeli Embassy in Argentina. On July 18, 1994, they killed 85 people at the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association in Buenos Aires. In 1996, they killed 19 American Servicemen in the Khobar Towers bombing. In 2012, they killed six Israelis via Hezbollah in the Bulgaria bus bombing.
It is worth recalling that Israel was able to infiltrate the highest levels of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on July 31, 2024, when they assassinated the Head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran in an IRGC guest house.
The bombing of other Iranian nuclear sites, the destruction of Iran’s missile capability and production centers, and the targeted removal of political and military leadership will enable defectors in the IRGC to wage a coup d’état. All of this has to be well coordinated between Israeli and American Intelligence services.
Iran is at the tipping point. Will the head of the snake that has brought so much destruction to the world be finally decapitated?
