Given the outbreak of jihadist terror attacks on Western soil, Westerners who have been indifferent to the existential threat to Israel from Islamic jihadists are now waking up to Israel’s reality, and it has become a talking point. This excludes hard leftists, for whom no amount of carnage in Israel or on their own home soil will cause them to abandon their political correctness, anti-semitism, or both.
The National Review ran a feature entitled Orlando Aftermath: Welcome to Israel’s Reality, while another article from Canada discussed taking a lesson from Israel in trying to cope with terrorism. The French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, meanwhile, missed the boat, but stated: “We must learn to live with the terror, like Israel”. He should have instead said that France needs to call out Islamic jihadism for what it is and confront it as Israel does. Israel recently passed a wide-reaching terror bill, about which Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said: “The terrorist attacks in Orlando and Tel Aviv show that, more than ever, terrorism can’t be allowed. There are no excuses.”
Israel’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee chairman Nissan Slomiansky (Bayit Yehudi) pointed out that the bill cancels 60 British Mandatory emergency statutes, builds on Israel’s experience in fighting terrorism and “shows how to fight terrorism uncompromisingly, while protecting human rights.”
Some called the bill racist against Arabs.
Well, now a mass casualty jihadi attack was prevented in downtown Jerusalem. An Arab Muslim from the West Bank tried to detonate three pipe bombs on the light rail at the Jaffa Center station; his jihad plan was foiled thanks to astute security guards who observed the suspicious-looking man and stopped him. He had a bag loaded with explosives and knives; he was said to be planning to blow up and stab civilians.

“Major terrorist attack prevented in downtown Jerusalem”, by Daniel K. Eisenbud, The Jerusalem Post, July 17, 2016:
A mass casualty terrorist attack was averted in downtown Jerusalem Sunday when security guards prevented a West Bank man armed with explosives and knives from boarding the light rail at the Jaffa Center station.
Shortly before 9 a.m., police said security guards stationed in the city center observed a suspicious man carrying a shoulder bag. Confronted, the man admitted he was armed. The suspect, who police described as in his 20s and from the village of Beit Ula near Hebron, was forced to lay on the ground at gunpoint.
Security personnel found three pipe bombs and knives in his bag.Police cordoned off the area and evacuated store workers and pedestrians for several hundred meters along Jaffa Road from the intersection of King George Street until Zion Square.
Tram service was halted for an hour as sappers neutralized the bombs. During a press conference, Jerusalem District Police Commander Yoram Halevy said the suspect targeted the light rail and planned to detonate the explosives in a “large attack.”
“It appears that the terrorist planned a mixed attack of explosions and stabbings,” said Halevi.
Joseph Spaniel, who lives across the street from the Jaffa Central station, said he was walking to a nearby laundromat when he saw the chaos unfold.
“At about 9 a.m. I saw a security guard with a gun holding it at someone lying on the ground, and another guard came and took his trousers off and searched for other explosives,” he said.
The police secured the area by Zion Square, and “I was rushed by police over here, and have been waiting to go home since.”
Chaya Benveniste, 18, who lives nearby, said she saw people fleeing to safety after police arrived the scene…..

Israelis and Jews care nothing for the Talmud, except for the historical and traditional symbol that it is. Save a small ultra orthodox group, most Israelis could not recite one passage from the Talmud if their lives depended on it.
Unlike the koran, which muslims take literally and are obliged to follow it word for word, there is no such requirement for Jews, certainly not in secular Israel. And unlike muslims that are obligated to commit jihad at least once in their lifetime according to their “holly book” – and they certianly do that – Jews don’t have any such thing, Talmud or no Talmud.

The “Satanic Verses” of the KORAN 53:19
Muhammad worshipped pagan gods to gain favor of pagans.
Then he said he was tricked by the DEVIL which in a poor excuse for someone claiming to be a prophet. What other supposed Revelations of Muhammad were inspired by the Devil. Islam’s Serpent of Satan was such an evil buffoon.
ECAW says
If Western countries ever come to their senses they could do worse than to beg the Israelis to advise their security forces and to adopt everything the Israelis do. Slim chance.
If the Middle Eastern countries ever come to their senses Israelis would show them how to turn their hell holes into lands running with milk and honey just as they have with their own country. Fat chance.
MTMLA says
Rio is like a war zone with security, navy, army, marines, because of muslim threats to the Olympics by local muslim (s). The area around the Iguaçu Falls ( Br, Argentina, Paraguay) has a big colony of these vermins, as well as São Paulo and other cities in the south. I hope Br. takes notice of the carnage going on in Europe and in the US and other parts of the world where these barbarians are present and STOP the immigration. They already call Ansar al Khalifha Brazil… i don’t know what the first word means but kalifah, may mean calif or califate of Brazil. No matter what, it shows their intentions. There are a lot of converts, in slums, prisons ( perfect candidates) and STUPID women who are lied to that P-islam protects women..
little by little the cancer of islam is spreading, aided and abetted by the ignorance of the people and the politicians.
ECAW says
MTMLA – The muhajirun (the emigrants) were Mohammed’s followers who went with him from Mecca to Medina. The ansar (the helpers) were the locals of Medina who helped them.
They were largely members of two of the nastiest tribes around Medina, the Banu Khazraj and the Banu Aus) who helped him to military dominance.
It’s different now. Today’s ansar in Europe display “Refugees welcome” signs at German railway stations and offer up their homes and daughters to the muhajirun doing their duty of performing jihad by emigration.
Angemon says
“Ansar” means something along the lines of “collaborator” or “helper”, IIRC.

kangi_nunpa says
This is a bit off-topic, but I’m very curious.
There is one thing I’ve never understood about the anti-semitic screeds against Talmud.
Who cares if it’s ‘blasphemous’ to Christians? When did Jews sign some sort of agreement they can have their own beliefs as long ONLY SO LONG as they don’t say anything mean about anyone else’s gods?
Granted, the posting of wildly out-of-context or entirely falsified passages from Talmud about gentiles is nothing more than hatemongering.
But why are charges of blasphemy always so central to these trolls? Many Christian writings have railed against Jews (i.e., Martin Luther); Christians through the ages have declared idolatry the worship of Hindus, Native Americans, etc., etc.
That is the definition of a religion.
The ‘Yeshu’ in Talmud likely refers to several people – some mentions predate Jesus. But even if ALL the mentions were about Jesus of Nazareth, how are charges of “blasphemy” leveled at Jews? The Bible mentions plenty of idols – Ba’al, for example. It also records Elijah mocking the priests of Ba’al and mocking their ‘god’ – and apparently that’s fine. Adherents of a religion think theirs is more complete, better, etc., than any others – otherwise they’d follow one of those others.
But apparently Jews – and only Jews – had better *be respectful* of someone they believe not to be God.
gravenimage says
Yeah–as I noted, it is not Jews who are oppressing and murdering unbelievers–just Muslims.
carpediadem says
The Talmud was written well before Christians appeared on this earth and it refers to nonJews not Chistians per se.
But your point is correct and well-taken.
Carol says
I was checking up on the Talmud and found out that the Oral Law wasn’t written down until the Jews were persecuted by the Roman empire. The Babylonian Talmud was written in the early centuries around 400 CE. it was supposed to be fluid, since it has to agree with Torah. The Mishnah was completed in 190 CE. If that is so, then that is not true that the Talmud was written before the New Testament writings which were completed by the 1st century AD.
carpediadem says
The Blasphemy thing comes from the collective nature of Christianity, where the whole world has to subscribe to this ‘truth” that Jesus is the Messiah.
Like Islam, they want to convert everyone, though in Xianity it’s more about collecting religious points than murder, religiously speaking anyway.
Hector Archytas says
There is little believer and reader of Talmud among Jews.
Thus, it is not a civilisation threat.
Islam is based on the flood myth as Muslim are the new flood and those it is far more lethal.
Ciudadano says
“We must learn to
live with thefight terror, like Israel”Vic says
What a lovely collection of vile lies. Sure, most of those words do appear in some form in the Talmud, but in context they mean something very different than this “translation” – and most of the “quotes” about Jesus or Christianity come from chapters that not only not mention Jesus or Christians in any way, but also specifically refer to the idol worshipers among whom the Jews lived those days (well before the spread of Christianity).
The one thing that is partially true is that the way the name Jesus is written in Hebrew, ‘Yeshu’, is used at times as a derogatory pseudo-acronym meaning “may his name and memory be wiped out”, but originally it was simply the way his name was originally written in ancient Hebrew (‘Yeshu’ or ‘Yeshua’), which was a perfectly valid and meaningful name meaning “salvation” – the English pronunciation ‘Jesus’ appearing much later (and in many languages the name is still pronounced as ‘Hesus’ or ‘Yesus’). The derogatory pseudo-acronym appeared much later, as a result of the Christian persecution of Jews in the middle ages.

Why don’t Muslims make a big celebration over the birth of Muhammad?
Birth symbolizes innocence.
For example, If one goes to Jerusalem and informs local Muslims that Muhammad was a Serpent of Satan they might disagree. However, all Muslims are well aware of Muhammad’s lack of innocence whether they admit it or not. It is written in the historical Islamic texts that Muslims erroneously call ‘scripture’.

I only believe in the latest TV and Google ads? Paradise is our responsibility towards ANY human, male, female, gay, dyke, transgender, animal, and even to some extent towards lower life forms such as deep sea fish, politicians and religious leaders. Forget fairy tales and start caring for each other. Forget political correctness and help anyone in need. We were all born as humans with the same biology. Fairy tales told to us by oracles, politicians, priests, imams and other assholes were invented by very smart people to keep us under control. Your life expectancy is SO small: try to enjoy life and make life enjoyable for every living creature on earth. Love one another even if the Bible/Talmud/Quran/TV guide tells you otherwise. Be a man and oppose any form of cultural/religious or racial violence. After all we all love our parents, children, friends, pets and our local alcoholic brews. My youngest son, an ambulance driver, was taken away from me because of foolish hatred against the West. I have lost him forever and will never see him again thanks to fairy tales and idiots who believe in them. Once you realise there are no (caring) gods you do feel responsible for the well-being of others. And maybe you become a responsible and adult creature then, known in legends as a man.Time for a drink now. Even if a fairy tale tells me I shouldn’t drink at all/ on a Saturday/ on a Friday/on a Sunday/ on a dry day, on a wet day,…

I’ll bite. Whoever said that has no clue about what they’re talking about and is reducing Judaism, Christianity and islam to “they all ray to the same god, they all have almost the same prophets – 95% it is”. The Old Testament is the same both on Judaism and Christianity, with its stories and prophets. Jews don’t consider Jesus as their Messiah, and that’s where Jews and Christians part ways. Then islam came along and claimed to be following the same prophets as the OT and NT – except that names and general circumstances aside, the stories in the quran about the OT prophets and Jesus don’t line up with what’s written in the OT and NT.

9271 Palestinians killed ? Oh really ? And how many of them where suicide bombers who died at their own hands, or died attacking Israeli’s ? The Palestinian Authority and HAMAS are notorious for including Palestinians killed by Palestinian Suicide Bombers (including the bomber himself) as being “casualties” to be blamed on Israel.
I think you’ll find that more “Palestinians” have been killed by Arabs than by Israeli’s. And almost as many turned into refugees. (if you add up the explusions from Jordan, Kuwait, Lebannon, Libya and Syria).
You asked why “most peoples are anti-jewish”. Well, let me ask you a question. Why do all Arab states hate and despise the “Palestinians” ?

THE JEWISH TALMUD is “Holy Writ” for the Jews.

And yet, for some reason it is abbas’s coreligionists slaughtering innocent people all over the world, not observant Jews.
More:
The Talmud was written in Hebrew between the 3rd & 6th Centuries as a codification of the so-called Oral Law that the Jewish rabbis claim was handed down from Moses.
But the Messiah Jesus censored the “Oral Law”…
…………………….
So–Jesus censored the law before it was ever written down…
Besides, Mohammedans like abbas don’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah, in any case. Did this cut-and-paste artist trip himself up again?

The grim thing about this claptrap is that it is *exactly* the way pious Muslims treat unbelievers–not Jews. We see this in action all over the world, from Muslims butchering people in Nice to kidnapping schoolgirls to use as sex slaves in Nigeria to the horrors of the Islamic State.
Whereas, Israel is a civilized nation with equal rights for all–Jewish and Gentile.
