I left the UK and came to Israel in 2002, in the middle of the second intifada, It was a difficult time in Israel for Israelis, Bombs were going off all the time.
Sadly that Intifada has moved to the UK.
We have people on the streets calling out for a Global Intifada and that is exactly what we are seeing on the streets of the UK, That is what we saw last week in Golders Green in London, with the stabbing of two Jewish men.
We have seen Ambulances burned, a terror attack in Manchester and now Golders green.
It looks like Death to the IDF has moved from threatening a soldier to terrorizing anyone who is Jewish.
Recently I saw the man verbally abuse an orthodox Jew in Slough on video, saying he was a baby killer.
The abuse of Jews has gone too far, But it frightens me to hear that the UK has raised their national terror level to severe.
Which in reality means it is not over.
Some crazed individual is going to jump on the Intifada bandwagon and bring more pain and suffering to UK Jews.
But why?
Why would you go up to someone you have never met before and call them a baby killer?
In the Russia war with Ukraine where Russia is the aggressor google tells me that 700 children have died and over 2200 children have been Injured.
But have you heard of people going randomly up to Russans in the UK and calling them baby killers?
On October the 7th 2023 Israel was hit by the biggest terror attack in its history, with more that 1200 people killed, People were Killed for being Jews, Women were raped, and people were taken hostage. An infamous day in history perpetrated by Palestinians.
So are people going up to Palestinians in the UK and calling them Killers?
They killed Children Like Ariel (4) and Kafir (9) Bibas, So aren't Palestinians Baby killers?
They Killed and they raped and yet on the London streets we are having Pro Palestinian marches, The world has gone Mad.
In Nigeria there is a genocide of Christians taking place, More than 50,000 Christians have been killed by terror factions.

But are people going up to Nigerians and calling them Christian Killers?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want random people going up to Russians, Palestinians and Nigerians and accusing them, Equally I don't want it happening to Jews either, But why is it happening?
Why is the Jew treated differently ?
Quite simply, Antisemitism.
These people are showing their Anti Semitic hatred towards the Jews.
The definition of Antisemitism is treating the Jews differently than anyone else, Holding them to a different standard.
We see that in the United Nations when it is always Israel that is condemned for her actions and no other nation.
Israel is the apple of God's eye, God will deal with Israel If they do anything wrong, We are called to Love the Jewish people.
Mathew 7 v 12 says
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. NKJV
So don't treat Jews unfairly because you don't want anyone to treat you unfairly in Life.
Don't accuse random Jews on the streets as baby killers because you would be horrified if someone came up to you and said that to You.
Show Love and compassion.
Today I proudly stand with the Jews of the UK, They are living in Dark days and if the Terror level is anything to go by there are dark days ahead, So Pray with me for our UK Jewish Brothers and Sisters.
