Sadly, anti-Semitic incidents continue to escalate around the world. There is a dramatic increase in the number of vile assaults against Jews as well as the size of the attacking groups.
VICIOUS HATRED
Recently, many Jewish people were violently attacked without reason after leaving a soccer game in Amsterdam.
Five people were sent to the hospital, 20 to 30 suffered minor injuries, and several more were harassed.
The Jewish spectators were aggressively chased by a large group of people meant to incite religious fear.
The mob carried rocks and bottles to injure and hospitalize the Jewish soccer fans.
This sad event is especially chilling as it occurred during the 86th anniversary of the Kristallnacht which is known as the “Night of Broken Glass.”
This travesty occurred when the Jewish people throughout Germany were sought out and attacked by the vicious Nazis.
In both situations, the goal of Israel’s enemies was to harm and destroy to the point that the Jews would either die or leave the area for good.
Each time we learn from history about anti-Semitism,
it reminds us of the dangers of silence and complicity.
VICTORIES AHEAD
“Our Jewish brothers and sisters need us to stand with Israel. We are to speak up against those who persecute the Jews,” said Pastor Larry.
“This is one of the many reasons we partner with Israel Allies Foundation in fighting anti-Semitism and ensuring legislators have the tools they need to take action,” he added.
Your ongoing prayers and offerings help provide safety and protection for the Jewish people worldwide.
