Yom Kippur, the most solemn and holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins tonight.
I wish all Jewish Jihad Watch readers a safe and easy fast, and ask all lovers of justice and freedom to stand with Israel, which is as always on the front lines of the global jihad.
As Benjamin Franklin once said, let us all hang together, or we will assuredly hang separately. That hanging day is drawing ever closer, so there is a great deal more work to be done. Am Yisroel chai!

BARUCH HASHEM
Dave says
What name??
Mak says
In Hebrew, “Ha Shem” or “The Name” is often used to refer to the name of God.
Andy says
My dad has Baruch HaShem inscribed on his tombstone.
We love Israel and the Jewish People and will forever stand with them!
Long Live Israel!

What many people don’t understand and especially the Muslim world, is the FACT that Israel is supported by God they are his people and are blessed by God…..The forerunner of Islam, Ishmael, was not “blended” by God He only said he would make of him a great nation and that happened…but they did not continue as one nation they have split into many “little” nations with so many internal differences that they hardly exist and without OIL most likely they would not exist.
What can we non Jews do? Stand with Israel and in doing do…WE STAND WITH GOD!
J D S says

In the fifth line of my above post the word “blended” should read “blessed” sorry bout that.

Mr. Robert Spencer,
I thank you for your beautiful words & wishes on all our behalf to our beloved Jewish brethren. I deeply share your heartfelt sentiments, & especially given the frightening, violent demonstrations of late, with explosives literally being flown into Jewish territory, I pray for God’s Chosen People & wish you all a prolonged, true, restful SHALOM. 💜

Thank you, Mr. Spencer and God Bless Israel and the Jewish people from an ExMuslim.

CogitoErgoSum says
I say thank-you to the Jews who kept faith in the one true God and who, through the prophets, prepared the way for Jesus Christ to come into the world and make a Chosen People of not just some but all who believe in Him. Peace to Israel and those who reside therein and especially to you, Dacon9, for your charming sentiments toward Christians.
Dave says
What are you talking about the prophets of Yahweh didn’t prepare the way for any such person called jesus that name is fake how do I know because the letter j was not invented until the English alphabet j was not in the Hebrew alphabet his true name is yahushua and means deliverance of. Yahweh the people of Yahweh used to know and freely use it but they got conned by the false teachers into forgetting it Time for the truth
CogitoErgoSum says
Do some people call you David?
gravenimage says
Touche, CogitoErgoSum.
Of course, arguing that Jesus was not originally spelled with a “J” is missing the point. In the same way, no one said “God” or “Dieu” or “Gott” to describe the God of Israel two centuries ago–this is just a vagary of human language, not anything intrinsic to the concept.
Indiana Tom says
Sort of a long evolution of transliteration and translation and just plain error to get to Jesus.
Tricia Stuercke says
CogitoErgoSum, that was beautiful. Thank you for contributing that today. Have a restful evening.

ibrahim itace muhammed says
Cogitoergosum, are you kidding? Do the evil Jews accept Jesus as messiah? According to jewish current scriptures Jesus was impostor or false messiah. According to obnoxious Talmud mithraist christians are beasts and killing them is a sacrifice to God. One Rabbi described mithraist christianity to be fit for beasts only, not for rational human beings.In Talmud sandaherin Baba 121,mithraist christians are polytheists.How do you reconcile your belief in mithraist christianity and taking evil Jews as promoters of mithraist christianity?
CogitoErgoSum says
No, Ibrahim, I am not kidding. I can hope that good things come even to people who do not believe as I do. I have even wished you well at times and you certainly do not believe as I do. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Apostles, most of the first Christians were Jews. God loves the Jews as He does all the living things He has created. My own father did not believe in Christ but I loved my father dearly. The last words I spoke to him as he was struggling for his last breaths were that should he see Jesus on the path to what comes next, to trust Jesus if He offers to help show the way. I trust that what is in a person’s heart is what matters to God.
gravenimage says
Of course, Jews are not murdering Christians as the vicious Ibrahim itace muhammed implies. He is just hoping to sow division between the targets of Jihad terror.
Fine riposte, CogitoErgoSum.

The JW community is an amazing one. A great group of humble, logical, and kind people who all see a common threat to civilization.
As an interesting aside I was looking to see the proper way to care for my new pet cat during Yom Kippur and found this article on the care of animals in Judaism: http://www.aish.com/jl/jewish-law/daily-living/35-Animals-and-Pets.html
It shows the difference between islam and Judaism. In Judaism dogs are considered special for their role in the Exodus. In islam dogs are to be killed. In Judaism animals are to be cared for prior to their caretakers caring for themselves. muslims slaughter animals in painful rituals.

I wish all Jewish Jihad Watchers the same!
Elisha says
I wish, Robert, that you would spend a little more time preaching the Gospel. That would be nice:
All Jews reading this, please remember to actually READ the Old Testament:
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.” – Micah 5:2
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey. – Zechariah 9:9
What part of this clear, FULFILLED PROPHECY are you having trouble with? How can you DENY THIS?!?! And I didn’t even touch on Isaiah 53 …
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” – Zechariah 12:10
LOOK!! Jesus Christ speaking in the first sentence, alongside His Father, who speaks in the second sentence!! How can you be SO BLIND?!?!
The apostle Paul reminds you:
What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
As He says also in Hosea:
“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”
“And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.” [Hosea 2:23]
Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:
“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
The remnant will be saved.
For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.” [Isaiah 10:22-23, 28:22]
And as Isaiah said before:
“Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,
We would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah.” [Isaiah 1:9, 13:19] – Romans 9:22-29
For THERE IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN JEW AND GREEK, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? – Romans 10:12-14
And what did YHWH say through His prophet Hosea?
My people are destroyed for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. – Hosea 4:6

carpediadem says
Absolutely typical of obsessed Christians to attempt to convert Jews even on their holiest of holy days, to attempt to obliterate Judaism spiritually as Hamas attempts to obliterate it physically, as islam attacks Jews on their Holy days.
How dare you Elisha.
balam says
Elisha only quoted your holy scriptures written by the JEWS.Hence,no need to get offended.The Christians do not hold grudge against the JEWS for crucifying JESUS-our LORD AND SAVIOR and SAVIOR of the world including you,my Jewish friend.
carpediadem says
The Christians have attacked, murdered, defamed, exiled, robbed and incited agsint Jews for something the Romans did. You just did the same thing by lying about history and, as so many Christians do, accused Jews of murdering their God.
You are NOT my friend, you are not a friend of Jews and you have shown yourself to be a liar who distorts history.
As for Elisha, she says to Jews – on their holiest dav of the year – :
“LOOK!! Jesus Christ speaking in the first sentence, alongside His Father, who speaks in the second sentence!! How can you be SO BLIND?!?!”.
Disgusting. As are you.
Sliming up to people so they will convert to your religion is one of the nastiest acts one can do. Go berate your friends the Romans who crucified your “God”.
Both of you seek to erase Judaism.
Vile, intolerant hatred under rotten sugar.

balam, it was the Romans who crucified Jesus.

ibrahim itace muhammed says
Cogitoergosum, go back to what you have stated earlier. you stated :”Thank you… for your charming sentiments towards Christians “.Do the evil Jews value Christians and christianity? They consider christians as beasts and polytheists according to Talmud sandaherin Baba and killing them is a sacrifice to their Satan god in yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods of evils. Ask Palestinian Christians how fascist Zionists treat them even worse than Palestinian Muslims. I urge you and big liar Gravenimage to conduct a survey among Palestinian Christians under fascist evil Zionist State and palestinian occupied territory to find out. I am not saying you should not love Jews, i myself i have jewish relations and i love them even though most of them are still judaists who do not accept Prophet Muhammad as true prophet.
alex smythe says
Ibrahim: there are plenty of Jews who intermarry with Christians, and live and work peacefully alongside them. There may be a small number of Jewish-Israeli extremists who have the harsh anti-Christian sentiments which you have described, but the Jewish extremists also often mistreat Jews who disagree with them in the same way. And, as I have noted before, Christians are usually much safer and more tolerated in Israel than they are in certain Muslim countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and Egypt, for example. Proportionately speaking, the world has far fewer violent Jewish extremists than violent Muslim extremists at the moment.
“Right now, Muslims themselves have more to fear from Islamic extremism, than they do from Anglican, or Mormon, or Jewish extremism. And, most people *know it.* (–Sam Harris, an atheist writer/commentator of Jewish and Christian background).
carpediadem says
I’m surprised you can breathe with such vile hatred choking your soul.
balam says
The Holy Bible[Old and New Testament is a Jewish book written by the Jewish men of God.If you have the courage to read the New Testament,you will find that the Roman Governor found no guilt in YESHUVA MASIACH{ JESUS CHRIST} but the accusing Jewish crowd shouted’ CRUCIFY HIM’.You can not deny historical facts.But,JESUS asked GOD-HIS HEAVENLY FATHER to forgive them.We love the Jewish people because of JESUS who came in the human form as a Jew born of a Jewish mother Mary. May God heal your wounded heart.
CogitoErgoSum says
Ibrahim, I don’t care if some Jews think I’m a beast. I don’t care if Muslims or anybody else think I’m a beast. I will be honest but respectful in my dealings with all people. If they don’t like what I say to them they can be honest with me also and tell me what they think … in a respectful manner. If people are respectful to me, I will be respectful to them. At the very least, I won’t beat or kill them for what they think of me. I believe in free speech and in being able to think freely. So go ahead. Think what you like and say what you want as long it’s not accompanied by violence or threats of violence. I would not have a problem with Islam if it didn’t try to enforce mind control and subjugation of people. A person should be able to make up his own mind about things and if he changes his mind, he shouldn’t be afraid of being put to death for it. We are all human beings going through something we don’t really understand. We should at least try to understand that.
gravenimage says
This from Ibrahim itace muhammed about Jews offering Christians as human sacrifices to God is grotesquely false, of course. There are no such verses, and no such history.
He is just trying to sow discord between the targets of Jihad, so that he and his coreligionists can more easily conquer and oppress us. Too bad for him; we–most of us, anyway–stand together against Jihad and Shari’ah.
And he claims he “loves” his Jewish relatives, while he has said that he looks forward to personally taking part in the genocide of the Jews, I an only imagine he is eager to start with those victims closest at hand. If I was one of Ibrahim itace muhammed’s Jewish relatives I would be very nervous…
dumbledoresarmy says
What Mr Spencer said.
And remembering the Yom Kippur War, when Musilms chose this most solemn of the Jewish holy days to **surprise-attack from all sides**, I will pray for special protection for the whole House of Israel at this time, both those within the Jewish state and those in diaspora.
Let us hope that our police and military, in countries such as Australia and the USA, are bearing in mind that rabid jew-hating jihadis might particularly choose this time to attack Jewish persons and institutions….and that said police, and military, have appropriate measures in place to counter any such attacks.

FYI says
Judaism and Christianity are different religions but have far more in common with each other than with islam{allah remember CURSES the Jews and the Christians koran 9:30.the koran lumps Jews and christians together as “infidels”}
The basis of Judaism
——————————-
2 chief commandments of LOVE+10 laws.
Living a good moral life in accordance with these is the right path.
The basis of Christianity
———————————–
2 chief commandments of LOVE+10 laws
Loving a good moral life in accordance with these is the right path.
The 2 chief laws are defined in the NT as “The whole law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these 2 chief commandments”
Matthew 22 v 40
Note that they are MISSING(even denied in koran 5:51)in islam!
muslims
————-
Strange weather we are having isn’t it?
Funny isn’t it how allah,who claims he wrote the Torah DISAGREES with those laws of god in his koranic teachings?strange how muslims don’t see the problem with that?allah curses the Jews;why?………For being Jews k9:30
And instead of the 2nd chief commandment{“Let’s TRY to get along..and LOVE one another”}
allah says the COMPLETE OPPOSITE{“let’s NOT TRY to get along at all and HATE each other”}
“oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews or christians for friends.They are friends to one another”
koran 5:51
Now why can’t we all be friends?Because allah,unlike God,says so!
So if you are a Jew or a Christian,within your respective religions,you must keep to that 10+2 law system ,right?The chief commandments found in Judaism and Christianity{but MISSING in islam} emphasise the importance of Love and not hate.If you believe God to be a God of justice then leave it to God surely to do justice on behalf of those who are victims of inhumanity and injustice.
If you are a Jew or a Christian and you do not get that the importance of the 2 chief laws as being what God is all about then you don’t know God and you do not deserve to belong to God!
You’ll be like the muslims with their god of hate and their commandment-of-God violating teachings in their koran which allah claims in koran 3:3 confirms the Bible{It doesn’t;it denies and contradicts both the Torah and the Gospel!!}
Jew or Christian,you surely understand the importance of keeping God’s Commandments right?I mean that’s the WHOLE POINT of the Torah and Moses.
{which allah in his koran DISAGREES with:see for yourself.Compare the moral code of Exodus 20 prohibiting adultery,murder,lying,stealing etc and note that the koran doesn’t agree!allah is OK with them…..}
Jews understand that,Christians understand that.moslems don’t.
There is little point getting moslems to follow the 2 chief commandments{since allah doesn’t believe in them!}but Christians and Jews have no excuse!!
So Jews and Christians in these times:who should you follow?
“Let’s TRY to get along.. with Love” God{2nd chief commandment}
OR
“Let’s NOT TRY to get along.. with hate” allah’s denial of God’s 2ndchief law k5:51

Fine post.

FYI, are you saying your scriptures calling for genocide killings like in Samuel 15:3 ,which Jews carried out and mithraist christians continued during crusade wars and in Spain, extermination of the original inhabitants of Americas and more than half of world Jews kiłled by mithraist christian Nazis, are also about love?Christian west led colonisations and deprivations of Muslims ànd not long led destructions of Libya, Iraq and Syria. French mithraist christians killed more than 15% Algerians during colonisation and attempt to annex algeria. presently fascist evil Zionist State have been carrying out mass killings of Palestinians as part of ethnic cleansing. Are all these love in your scriptures? u
FYI says
You just don’t get it ..as usual.I don’t care{and am not an apologist} for any church.
God will judge those who do evil:be they muslim,Jew or Christian.
Anyone who breaks God’s Laws will have to answer for it.If these “christians” do evil ,violate God’s laws then they will have to pay for it won’t they?
They have to answer to the Actual God:Not your commandment-of-God violating moon god allah:
allah the champion deceiver god of islam k3:54
a god who actually CONTRADICTS the 2nd chief commandment!
a god who says you can BREAK the commandments revealed in Exodus 20:1-!7
a god who,in his koran, says you can murder k2:191,commit adultery k33:50/k4:24,steal k48:20,lie k3:28 along with the abominations of child brides and polygamy.
But these,Mr itace muhammed, are all sins AGAINST GOD!!!
Can you not see that?
You understand this perfectly well:your allah and your koran does NOT confirm or obey the Moral code given in the Bible Exodus 20 v 1-17
I don’t subscribe to any church myself:but if you were a morally good person you would not dispute what i say about obeying God’s official commandments and not your “allah” with his warped,koranic,commandment-of -God violating teachings.
BTW nazis were anti-christians…they tried{like the communists} to destroy christianity.They failed.just as islam does today.
Yet Christianity will survive…
George Varghese says
Ibrahim,
Are you unaware that Muslims wiped out four of the five branches (pentarchy) of Christianity? Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, the Coptic Church and the Church of the East centred in Seleucia-Ctesipohn in Persia? In the early centuries, this church extended from Persia to India and China before being wiped out by Islamic invasions. Not a trace of this huge branch of Christianity remains, except a few thousand people in India. Now, only the western branch with Rome as its centre remains.
Have Christians or anyone else obliterated any branch or section of Islam ever?
And what of Islam having conquered and still occupying the most holy places of ALL other religions?
Of Jews: Jerusalem, Hebron and other places. Christians: Bethlehem, Nazareth, Hagia Sophia, Constantinople, and other places. Hindus: Ayodhya, Madhura, Dwaraka and others. Sikhs: Nankana Sahib in Pakistan. Of Zoarashtrians: Persepolis and others. Of Buddhists: Baminan and others.
Note that no non-Muslim army has ever come even near Mecca and Madina, let alone occupy them.
It is time for all non-Muslims to join forces and retake all their holy places or occupy Mecca and Madina.

Thank you for your High Holy Day wishes, Robert. Your understanding of the challenges faced by the Jewish People/Hebrew Nation has helped me enormously in realizing that we are up against something much larger than just a relatively small group of Arabs trying to share the Land of Israel with us. Please see what you can do to get funding for Hebrew translations of your works. The Israeli public needs to learn from you in their first language.
As we say in Hebrew: Chazak, chazak v’neet’chazeik! May you go from strength to strength as we are strengthened by your good deeds.
