Synagogue security in Europe raised as Jews brace for antisemitism after Hamas assault

As the bloody war in Israel and Gaza continues to escalate, many European Jews are bracing for reverberations far from the frontlines.

On Saturday, Hamas launched a shocking terror onslaught by land, air and sea, killing at least 1,000 Israelis, hundreds of them civilians who were massacred, wounding more than 2,000 and taking some 150 captive.

Israel has responded with airstrikes, on Gaza areas where Hamas operates, with close to 700 Palestinians killed. Hamas has threatened to execute its civilian hostages, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip.

But in cities across Europe, crowds have celebrated Hamas’s atrocities just streets away from vigils for the dead. Groups cheering the Hamas assault as “Palestinian resistance” to the Israeli occupation have danced on the street in London and handed out sweets in Berlin. In France, far-left movements called the terrorists’ slaughter of Israelis “heroic.”

Jewish communal officials in Europe anticipate that the fighting in Israel will ignite antisemitic threats in their communities. Police have increased surveillance around synagogues, Jewish schools and other institutions in Germany, Britain, France and Spain.

Same can be said of the all the Catholic charities that run migration programs.

Immigration has always been a mechanism of destruction for civilized societies.

The governor of Texas has directed various assets to secure Jewish entities across the state. He didn't waste any time doing it either.

Not quite the same.

Christians import Muslims into their own countries. That's both generous and stupid.

Jews import Muslims into Christian countries, but bar them from Israel -- because Jews know that Muslims are dangerous. So then, why do Jews import them into Christian countries?
