“I’m in shock, I still cannot believe he’s gone”
In the latest Islamic terrorist attack, three Jews were murdered in Israel. Three others were wounded. Two were fathers and another a grandfather.
The response from the organizational American Jewish establishment were typically muted with pro-forma condemnations that lacked the intensity of outrage over the recent wave of cultural antisemitism from black celebrities.
Why is that?
As I recently wrote, “American Jewish organizational leadership remained rooted in overlooking violent threats against other Jews while fighting social threats against themselves.”
“Social antisemitism, especially when it touches the cultural demographic likely to run and donate to Jewish establishment groups takes precedence over existential threats to Jews in other countries, from Europe to Israel, and Jews in America, like Chassidim, Russian or Middle Eastern Jews, who are culturally different from them. That’s why the murder of millions of Jews in Europe or the daily attacks on Jews in Israel don’t stir up nearly as much outrage as cultural outrage over political incorrectness.”
“American liberal Jews of the leadership class remain highly attuned to social signals that antisemitism is becoming acceptable. Signals of this kind lead to a five-alarm fire reaction even as far more worrying trends in society are ignored. A celebrity saying something antisemitic is treated as a more urgent problem than a political party slowly becoming antisemitic without saying anything overtly offensive.”
It’s not that social and cultural antisemitic messages don’t matter. They do. But it’s hard to defend an establishment that shrugs off the murder of Jews as routine while getting deeply involved in pop culture antisemitism.
Tamir Avihay, 50, from Kiryat Netafim, Michael Ledigin, 36, from Bat Yam, and Moti Ashkenazi, 59, from Yavne were named as two of the three victims in the Ariel terror attack on Tuesday.
Avihay was a father to six children ranging from the age of 12 to 29, he had five daughters and one son.
“Our father was a joyful man,” said Avihay’s daughters Liron and Shirel, adding that they are grateful to the soldier who shot the terrorist.
Ledigin made aliyah five years ago and some of his family still lives in Russia. He was the father of two kids aged seven and 12.
“I’m in shock, I still cannot believe he’s gone,” his wife told Kan.
Ashkenazi was a father of three and grandfather of two from Yavne. “Motti was a loving person full of joy for life, an exemplary husband and a family man with a huge soul who always loved to help everyone,” said his family. “He loved life and used every moment to wrap his family in warmth and love. This is a great loss for all of us and everyone who knew him.”
The Biden administration has restarted funding to the “Palestinian” terrorist pipeline responsible for this. His ambassador has expressed sympathy for the deaths while failing to condemn the terrorists.
Meanwhile, many of these same liberal Jewish organizations will condemn and attack Israelis for voting for a conservative government more willing to fight Islamic terrorism.

The roots of this awful Muslim murderous hostility towards the Jewish people is the result of a firm but blind and unquestioning Muslim faith in the Qu ‘ran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.
In other words, the Koran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people.
The reason that the Koran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first.
Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Qu ‘ran.
Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Qu ‘ran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets have gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [N.K.J.V.]

I’ve tried to understand why the world has become antisemitic while being pro-islamic and I am struggling to come up with an answer. The only reason i can come up with is that muslims are being used by the globalists to help dismantle western civilization. Their society is fear based. They do what they are told by Sharia law or they are murdered or mutilated so they are good soldiers. Their attacks in western countries and Africa won’t end unless Sharia is the rule of law. This causes fear, murder and devastation, similar to the pro-criminal or restorative justice movement the globalists are pushing. As people become more fearful they will be more accepting of the globalist agenda ? In other words, burn it down so the globalists can rise like a phoenix with their NWO? It’s all I’ve got, so I’d love to hear the answer from those like robert spencer who are much more knowledgeable on this matter than I am. Why is the world currently promoting and favoring a religion which wishes to annihilate all other religions? Please answer this for me.
