[INSANE] Jewish man detained outside Sydney’s Grand Synagogue for holding Israeli flag near Hamas rally
#Australian police claimed that a #Jewish man was provoking protesters outside the Grand #Synagogue by displaying his Israeli flag.

Police said he was detained for antagonizing the pro#Hamas protest outside the S#ynagogue.
So, you can protest a synagogue but not counter-protest.
Reminds me some recent events.....

In Oslo, Norway, security staff harass a Jewish man at the train station,
shouting, “Go to hell. Zionist occupation.”

This is #Antisemitism in plain sight.

The #Jewish people have endured centuries of #challenges, but we stand #strong.
No one should have to justify their #right to #safety and #peace... !

Dutch king says his nation failed Jewish community during football fan attacks – like during Second World War

Speaking to Isaac #Herzog, Israel’s president, King Willem-Alexander expressed “deep horror and shock”. Mr Herzog quoted him as saying: “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during the Second World War” – a reference to Nazi occupation – “and last night we failed again.” King Willem-Alexander also said: "We cannot turn a blind eye to #antisemitic behavior in our streets" — adding that history "has taught us how intimidation goes from bad to worse, with horrific consequences".

Wonderful #Mezuza case found among the ruins of a building in Gaza

This beautiful, old brass Mezuza case in the shape of a jug of oil is a reminder of the jug of oil of the Chanukah miracle...

An IDF soldier posted on Facebook this beautiful brass Mezuza case that he found, in the shape of a jug of oil, in the ruins of a destroyed building in Gaza. This Mezuza may have been from a destroyed home from Gush Katif, or it may have been from the period of time when there was a vibrant Jewish community in Gaza.

This Mezuza really reminds us of the #miracle of the jug of olive oil that occurred on #Chanukah, which we will soon be celebrating.

Syria has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect nuclear facilities in Israel and take them under control, the Syrian foreign ministry said on Sunday.

"The International Atopic Energy Agency (IAEA) must inspect nuclear facilities in Israel and take measures to establish control over them," the SANA news agency quoted its statement.

According to the agency, Damascus is concerned over Israel’s speculation on a possibility of the use of an A-bomb in the Gaza Strip "under the false pretext of self-defense."

The Syrian foreign ministry "strongly condemns such statements which prove that Israel has been hiding the fact of its possession of nuclear weapons for years," it said. "Israeli nuclear facilities are outside the system of international control thanks to the support offered by the American administration and Western countries to the Jewish state."

The Israel Hayom newspaper reported earlier that Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has suggested that Israel stops sacrificing its soldiers for the sake of releasing Hamas-held hostages but drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza instead.

When asked by a Kol berama radio host about a possibility of using a nuclear bomb in the Gaza Strip, Eliyahu said that "this is one of the options." Later, he said that it was a "metaphorical" suggestion but Israel "definitely needs a powerful and disproportionate response to terrorism."

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid demanded Eliyahu be sent to resignation for damaging Israel’s international authority. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu barred Eliyahu from taking part in cabinet meetings until further notice and rejected his words on the possible use of nuclear weapons in Gaza.

How did the Middle East become Islamic?

Ask all those who are against "imperialism" to explain you how the Middle East became Muslim countries. A little bit of history:

1. Anatolia and Eastern Thrace - now Turkey - were Christian.
2. Persia - now Iran - was Zoroastrian.
3. Pakistan was Hindu.
3. Afghanistan was Buddhist.
4. Much of the Silk Road was Buddhist.

The Middle East and North Africa were majority Christian areas with remarkable religious diversity that included sizable Jewish and Yazidi communities.

How did all these lands become Muslim?

[JUST IN] - ISIS calls Muslims to attack Jews throughout the world

The Muslims were also called to attack the "back lines of defense", i.e. the armies of the Gulf countries that host American bases designed to provide protection for the security of the "Jewish State".

The article also referred to the possibility of an Israeli ground entry into Gaza and noted that beyond the religious preparation, the young Muslims must also prepare in terms of military equipment and especially with explosive belts that "were absent from the scene of the conflict with the Jews"
