Report: Anti-Semitic attacks up 50%
Jerusalem Post ^ | April 15, 2007

The year 2006 witnessed a significant escalation in physical, verbal, and visual anti-Semitism throughout the world, with as many as 590 cases of violence and vandalism reported against Jews, a study published by Tel Aviv University ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day revealed Sunday.

The report, which was conducted by the Institute for Researching Contemporary anti-Semitism and Racism, found that twice as many anti-Semitic attacks occurred in 2006 than in the previous year.

Perpetrators of the attacks were, in most cases, identified as Muslim immigrants, or young members of the radical right and their supporters, the study reported.

Schools were popular targets of anti-Semitism in 2006, with twice as many community schools reportedly attacked then in 2005. The number of synagogues which registered attacks rose by one-third.

The report listed Britain, Australia, France, and Canada as the countries with the greatest rise in anti-Semitic attacks. Leading the list was Britain, which registered a 20-year record of 100 incidents - 60% more then in 1986. Of those incidents, 37% were considered violent.

Australia also experienced a significant increase in anti-Semitism, registering 47% more attacks then its yearly average. France also faired poorly, ending the year with 24% more attacks then usual, and 45% more violent attacks then the year before.

In contrast, the United States registered a 12% drop in anti-Semitic attacks in 2006.

Civil Litigation: A Weapon in Jihad?
The New Media Journal ^ | April 15, 2007 | Laura Mansfield

Last weekend, I was catching up on my reading. My choice of books was Dr. Walid Phares’ “Future Jihad,” a book I highly recommend to all who truly want to understand jihad, In the book, Dr. Phares related a common Arabic saying: Darabani wa baka sabaqani wa ishtaka. This phrase translates roughly to “he hits me and cries, then beats me to the court to sue me”.

This reminded me of a similar saying that I heard often while I was living in Cairo that appears to be the Egyptian version of the saying Dr. Phares quoted: “He beats me, then calls the police when I hit back.”

Parents of small children are familiar with this behavior too. Little Johnny hit Little Billy and when Little Billy hits back, Little Johnny runs to Mom screaming “Mom, Billy hit me”. If allowed to continue, it quickly deteriorates into cries of “Mommy, Billy is thinking about hitting me. Make him stop.”

This is exactly what is happening in this country today in the explosion of civil lawsuits against so-called discriminatory actions.
