Antisemitism at home

[Mary Terry]

No he didn't. He was denied. There is actually something about this on the news here today, the Police Security Service is raising the threat level towards Jewish targets from "Moderate" to "High" today. It is now raised to level 4, on a scale from 1 to 5. So something is going on. They don't do that for no reason.

So Norway's king cannot act independently of the government?

No, he is not like the old viking Kings. He doesn't have that kind of power these days.

How are you doing @Yeshuasdaughter, are you ok? Have you found out anything about who did it?

 

[Mary Terry]

Like Great Britain today.

I hope he sent condolences, anyway. Humans are losing their humanity.

The so-called King is barred from taking any official action against the advice of his government. Like with so many others, a big of my fascination with the Monarchy is the absurdity of it all.

Monarchies are romantic fairytales. It perplexes me that Americans are so enthralled with the Windsor family and Harry and Meghan in particular. We successfully revolted against that domination in 1776.

The government must have credible intelligence of things threatened and things being planned. Y'all stay safe and alert.

It's apparently a very transparent story online at the moment. But no one is volunteering any details about what prompted it. Which in itself seems ominous.

Norway Hikes Terror Threat Level To 'High' Over Mideast Escalation

Everyone here knows what is going on but people can't talk about it these days. Certain things can't be talked about. The backlash is brutal for those who try.

It's no secret if you mean who the players are. Similar to what is happening here and elsewhere across the globe.

This is a thread that I have been avoiding. I haven't really talked out loud about this event either.

I went to a conservative synagogue on Shabbat, and talked to a few people after service. Everyone there just gave kind, sympathetic eyes, got really quiet, not many words, and said kosher scrolls are for sale upstairs.

Antisemitic abuse is so expected in the Jewish community, that it seems if no one gets hurt, we just quietly endure, overcome, check on each other, replace the damaged, pray, and go on.

My heart is a little broken, and it has been.

I don't like thinking about this. It scares me. In a way that can't be overcome. It's the fear of the inevitable.

Thank you guys for your kind words. Most of you were really kind. i'm surprised at how many people responded. But also shocked at what some people said.

It's a hard thing to think about. I don't know if I'll be returning to this thread.

I stopped watching the news during COVID, it just got too much for me and I made that decision. I do tune in here and there but usually regret it. I did the other day and I have decided to avoid it again. I briefly forgot that we was even still fighting the wars we have been for some time. I don't get involved in politics usually.

We have a lovely Jewish community where I live in London. I have lived where I am for 21 years and in that time there has always been a synagogue on my street. There has been no issues and everyone is very respective of each other.

Hopefully things will feel a bit lighter for you soon Yeshuasdaughter.

I apologize. And Iraq welcome Jews.

Because certain people in The World do not take responsibility. I myself will not drop responsibility but i do not want to carry sinners. It's about Mastery and self-control. Just that.

I apologize we started to know eachother wrong. I respect your bravery @Yeshuasdaughter for this post (quote).

I will say we are Peace to those whom have Peace with (Ahlul Bayt) and we are enemies to those whom are your enemies.

I am very sorry that you have had to deal with this, more than once. I don't understand personal violations/violence of this sort, as it seems senseless, but then, there are a lot of things I do not understand. I'm in agreement that you should have filed a police report, because if this continues the police will need to step up watches. Unless the "perp" was the same in both crimes, it seems unlikely that you or your daughter are in any danger, but caution is always advised. A security cam, if possible, seems like a good idea. Know that most of us in the world are on your side. Best wishes.

I think many of us had you in our thoughts over this. Me myself I lit candles for you three times but that ended several weeks ago and it is not something I usually do at all. It was the exceptionality of the situation and it was a really bad event you went through and life needed to try and give you some support. I also put one up in my Catholic childhood church I went to in primary school. It was the row of four and I think from recollection Yeshuasdaughter was on the far left.

I wanted to donate to my old Catholic church for helping with something. They blessed some water for me. I was told there was no more envelopes to give out as people where breaking in and stealing the money. I was shocked. We found a way in the end I could. The times we live in.

I took two photos that day with the Jewish men and what I am posting now is the 2nd photo I took that day.
Best wishes

Last night Jewish football supporters from Israel were hunted and beaten on the streets in Amsterdam by a Gaza mob after a game, several are missing so it's turning into a hostage situation. Hundreds are hiding in hotels and Israel is now sending planes to evacuate their citizens. This is happening in the Netherlands, unbelievable.

It seems to happen everywhere. It's a scourge on planet earth. America will never forget 9/11.

I hope Holland and the Netherlands have crack law enforcement teams to arrest the perpetrators and prosecute this. Prayers for the hostages and their loved ones.

The police was not prepared for it, so it seems to have caught everyone by surprise. Large roaming gangs of very angry and violent people. They didn't have the manpower in place to stop it when it started last night. So all they can do now is clean up the mess.

At least 5 are hospitalized, 3 are missing, and the police made 62 arrests.
