Canadian Jews Concerned over Rising Anti-Semitism
INN ^ | 3/2/10 | Gil Ronen

(IsraelNN.com) B'nai Brith Canada's annual audit on anti-Semitic incidents reported 1,264 such incidents in 2009, representing an 11.4% increase over 2008, and a more than five-fold increase in incidents over the past decade.

There were 884 cases of harassment, 348 of vandalism. Incidents of violence doubled from last year, to 32.

In addition, a survey of the Jewish community commissioned by B'nai Brith shows Canadian Jews deeply concerned about the rising influence of radical Islamism – an ideology that paints Jews as the enemy – and security threats to Jewish schools and houses of worship. Anti-Israel campaigns on campus, such as the annual “Israel Apartheid Week” event, are also a source of anxiety according to this poll.

And just who was supposed to be Jews’ friends? The liberals?

Saudi Arabia exhibits true apartheid (with a death penalty sentence for kufir who'd dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina). And the liberal bigots on colleges around the world are silent.

Today in Massachusetts there is a hearing about anti-biblical, anti-religious, anti-semitic legislation to illegalize circumcision. It’s all under the guise of humanitarianism.

“Today in Massachusetts there is a hearing about anti-biblical, anti-religious, anti-semitic legislation to illegalize circumcision. It’s all under the guise of humanitarianism.”

In Massachusetts, it would appear that the secularists have taken the seat formerly held by the Puritans.

The only anti-Semitism I feel is irritation with the pseudo-enlightenment of cutting off their own noses to spite their faces.

Liberals want the "right" to choose whether a fetus is a lump of tissue or a life, but want to deny others the right to decide whether to remove a flap of skin on a penis.

Typical "Progressive" logic.

"???????????????????? "

What I mean is that I get frustrated and annoyed with Jewish friends who support liberal policies that are anti-Israel and oppressive to anyone who disagrees with them.

I can't help but think that Jews, of all people, would be the loudest voices against Big Brother systems such as what Obama is intent on implementing, yet many of them are gung-ho "Progressives".

This is what I meant by my comment.

I attribute it to spiritual warfare.

Most Jews today--including a startling 80% of those living in Israel---are secular Jews, i.e. Jews in ethnicity only. As such they actually are at odds with principles inspired by an almighty and sovereign God.

Liberalism/Socialism is all about elevating the wisdom of man to god level. As such, it is and always will be at war with God as to who is greater: Man or God.

Only a humbling that is beyond the capability of those steeped in their own self-importance can change that.

One day, however, rest assured: Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

A truly sovereign God, however, is not not threatened by those who exercise their freedom to reject Him until the moment when they can denoy no longer and it is made painfully clear how foolish they were.

It’s definitely true, but it’s not just secularists, it’s also cynical corrupt nihilists. The scary thing is that a lot of trends began and continue to spread from Massachusetts. In recent times, a stinking cloud of politically insane madness has been billowing out of the birthplace of freedom.
