Today in Jewish History
• Mumbai Terror Attacks (2008)The city of Mumbai, India, was hit with a series of coordinated terror attacks, starting on Wednesday evening, the 29th of Cheshvan 5769, which left close to 200 dead and scores more injured.
One of the terrorists' chosen targets was the local Chabad House, known as the "Nariman House," operated by Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries Rabbi Gavriel Noach (Gabi) and Rivkah (Rivki) Holtzberg.
In the subsequent standoff, which continued until Friday afternoon, Gabi and Rivki and several other Jews in the Chabad House – Rabbis Bentzion Chroman and Leibish Teitelbaum, Norma Schwartzblatt-Rabinowitz and Yocheved Orpaz – were killed in cold blood. May G‑d avenge their murders.
Miraculously, the Holtzbergs' two-year-old child, Moshe, was saved by his nanny.

[ When have Jews ever stopped being guilty in the eyes of Christianity? Christianity is the Mother of Invention when it comes to putting the blame on Jews ]
INTRODUCTION
America is a large and prosperous country currently beset by intense social and political disputes, deepening economic troubles, widespread violence, a massive and destructive drug scene, and other sources of divisive and debilitating behavior. Ongoing, angry debates about racial, gender, and class privilege and oppression fuel the country’s acrimonious culture wars and prevent the development of anything remotely like social harmony and national cohesion. All this turmoil is radically destabilising and contributes to an overwrought condition of almost tribal hostility. It is a natural breeding ground for the open release of passionate hatreds, including hatred of Jews. Until recently, most American Jews have felt relatively immune from antisemitism. That is no longer so.
To illustrate, I begin with a seemingly trivial incident. On a snowy Shabbat morning in late January 2022, Donny Larmann, a snowplow operator in Lakewood, New Jersey, saw two Orthodox Jews walking on the road in front of him. He lowered his vehicle’s plow blades and intentionally covered them with snow. A film clip of the incident he posted on Facebook shows Mr. Larmann laughing at what he had just done to his Jewish victims and calling out triumphantly, ‘This one’s for you JC.’https://fathomjournal.org/the-jews-are-guilty-christian-antisemitism-in-contemporary-america/#_edn1
If, as is likely, ‘JC’ signifies Jesus Christ, burying two Jews in snow is but a tiny entry in the vast historical ledger of Christian retribution for the Jews’ alleged involvement in the crucifixion of Jesus. As payback, far worse has happened to the Jews over the centuries, but the fact that this incident occurred at all in present-day America and was gleefully showcased on Facebook is telling. What does it tell? Despite our wishes to the contrary, some ancient motives for Jew-hatred are by no means past but remain a threatening presence among us. How large a threat? I’ll venture some answers shortly. For now, consider another seemingly minor, but no less telling, example of contemporary Jew-hatred, this one in the form of graffiti.
It reads, simply but clearly, ‘The Jews Are Guilty.’
Surrounded by crudely drawn swastikas, these words were prominently spray-painted on the wall of the Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida in May 2021.[ii] Similar graffiti have appeared time and again on synagogues, Jewish schools, and other Holocaust monuments and memorials. Their purpose is clear: intimidate Jews by defacing their most emblematic institutions with hostile markings. This one, ‘The Jews Are Guilty,’ is an expression of contempt that originates centuries ago in Christian teachings about Jews as agents of evil; in one form or another, it is alive still today.[iii] Versions of it, always accusatory and damning, are part of the contemporary rhetoric of anti-Jewish vilification.
The question needs to be asked: Of what precisely are the Jews guilty? Answers vary, but to antisemites of all kinds, Jews, and increasingly the Jewish state, are denounced as being eternally at fault for causing whatever is bad, wrong, or evil in the world. Just how this notion of ingrained Jewish malevolence plays out in today’s America will be the focus of what follows. Anti-Jewish hostility in America is multi-causal, as it is elsewhere. No one factor is responsible for its resurgence in our own day. In this paper, I will emphasise some of the Christian dimensions of this hostility largely because they appear to have a persistence and special potency within the United States. Most West-European countries seem to be in a post-Christian phase, but within America’s social and political life, Christianity continues to have a significant presence. Multi-denominational, the religion has a wide variety of confessional, doctrinal, and institutional forms. On the positive side, the Jewish people and the Jewish state can count on the support of many non-Jewish friends. In fact, as a 2019 Pew poll reveals, Americans like Jews more than any other religious group.[iv] At the same time, Christian adversaries exist and are sometimes in active opposition to the interests of American Jews and the safety and security of the Jewish state.[v]

ResumeBuilders commissioned a survey of antisemitic attitudes of hiring managers and recruiters in the United States, and the results show that discrimination against Jews in the workplace is far more widespread than has been reported.
Nearly one third of the respondents, 32%, said antisemitism is "common" or "very common" at their workplaces.
Over a quarter of them, 26%, say they are less likely to move forward in the hiring process with Jewish applicants.
23% say they want fewer Jews in their industry, and an astounding 17% say that their leadership has told them to not hire Jews.
The recruiters and hiring managers make assumptions on who is Jewish based on the applicant’s educational background (35%), last name (33%), past or current experiences with Jewish organizations (28%), and even their appearance (26%). But some also make their assumptions based on antisemitic criteria, saying their assumptions are based on the job applicant's “voice,” “mannerisms,” or even saying “they are very frugal.”
When asked the reasons for not wanting to hire Jews, the answers were a summary of why people are antisemitic altogether. They included "Jews have too much power and control" (38%), "Jews claim to be the ‘chosen people’" (38%), and "Jews have too much wealth" (35%).
Is this discrimination coming from the political Right or the Left? The reasons given above seem to indicate it is the former, but that is not necessarily so.
The report notes that antisemitism is worse in industries that tend to be more politically liberal and that people traditionally associated with Jews. 48% of hiring managers in both education and entertainment say antisemitism is common at their workplace, while 45% of hiring managers in business say antisemitism is acceptable in their workplace.
Moreover, Resumebuilder has had other surveys done recently of recruiters and hiring managers, and the results showed that they tend to lean left.
More than one-third of hiring managers are more likely to interview applicants who list their pronouns in their resumes. Additionally, 52% believe their company practices “reverse discrimination” in hiring; 1 in 6 have been asked to deprioritize hiring white men and 48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications.
It may be that the combination of companies demanding a more diverse environment and hiring managers' latent antisemitic attitudes work together to provide a perfect storm against hiring Jews, with diversity being used as a way for the managers to justify their antisemitic practices.
For comparison, studies show less than 10% bias against applicants who appear to be Black. Those results garner major headlines.
It is unclear what the geographic scope of the survey was. Resumebuilder itself is geared towards jobs in the United States. (I requested more data.)

A Qatari taxi driver kicked KAN News journalist Dor Hoffman out of his cab after he discovered his Israeli nationality, the reporter claimed on Thursday.
The cab driver, who picked up the Israelis in the morning, stopped the vehicle mid-drive after finding out he picked up Israelis, something he "did not like at all," Hoffman shared on KAN's World Cup studio show.
Qatar, which hosts this year's FIFA World Cup, holds no official ties with Israel but had cooperated with Israeli officials on the hospitality of Israelis flying to Doha for soccer's biggest stage, accepting various Israeli requests on Kosher food and direct flights from Jerusalem.

Israelis escorted by guards from Qatari beach
The Israeli journalist further claimed that security guards were sent to remove him and his filming crew from a Qatari beach after he asked a local restaurant to film on its premises. "The owner asked to know where we're from...he called for security guards to escort us away after finding out we were Israeli," Hoffman said.

The ADL keeps a database of extremist incidents, including antisemitic incidents. They list over 1700 so far for this year. I have been looking though their list for 2022, specifically incidents that mention Israel.
Here are only a few of them:
January, Brooklyn NY: Graffiti that read, "Kill Israel and the Jews" was found on the campus of a middle school.
January, Mountain View CO: In response to a Jewish middle school student's presentation on the Holocaust, the teacher harassed the student about the creation and policies of the State of Israel.
January, Seattle WA: The message "It's okay to be a Zionist genocider" was found spray-painted across the Jewish Family Service.
February, Buffalo NY: An antisemitic flier was posted on the campus of the University of Buffalo. The flier depicted Robert and John F. Kennedy with Stars of David etched over their faces, and the words, "Israel and the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers."
February, University City MO: In a social media post, a campus Birthright program was the target of an anti-Zionist campaign comparing them to Patriot Front, a White Supremacist organization. The campaign strongly suggested that, like the Patriot Front, the Birthright program should not be allowed on campus and the post included the call "Death to all Settler Colonialism!"
March, Storrs CT: A Jewish college student was the target of antisemitic harassment and removal from a campus community group for their pro-Israel activism.
April, New Brunswick NJ: The Israel Fellow for the University of Rutgers Hillel received multiple antisemitic Instagram comments in response to a video they posted regarding the recent terror attack in Israel. One comment read, "die jews die."
May, Santa Barbara CA: "Zionist the evil Jews have got to go" was written in chalk by a bus stop.
May, Champaign IL: "Death to Israel" and "Israelis kill children" was written in chalk on a college campus.
July, Lakewood CO: A Jewish person was approached by an unknown individual on the street who said, "The Zionists will burn."
July, Boulder CO: "ZIONIST SEX PREDITAR (sic) AREA!" was found written in chalk on a sidewalk.
August, Miami FL: A Jewish institution received a threatening phone call in which the caller threatened violence against the Jewish community on behalf of his "Palestinian Wife" in relation to events in Israel. The caller threatened to cut off the heads of Jewish people.
August, Brooklyn NY: Graffiti said that said, "Antisemitism was invented by a Zionist," "Zionism is Anti Semitism (sic) and "Antisemitism is overrated" was found on a train platform.

An Iranian propaganda video in which dozens of children sing a song that references an apocalyptic myth about massacring Jews was filmed at a school just 15 minutes’ walk from the New London synagogue in St John’s Wood, a JC investigation has revealed.
In the video, shot earlier this year in the playground of the Islamic Republic of Iran School (IRIS) near Queen’s Park station, the children sing about joining 313 mythical warriors in a conflict against the infidels, when (according to the present Iranian regime) Israel will be obliterated and Jews killed.
Some scenes were also shot at the nearby Islamic Centre of England (ICE), which is controlled by the Iranian regime and linked to the school. ICE is currently the subject of a statutory inquiry by the Charity Commission, as the JC disclosed last week.
The song, entitled Hello Commander, has been praised by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who claims its popularity proves his people’s “loyalty to the system”, Iranian pro-regime media has reported.
Its recording in St John’s Wood, in easy reach of several synagogues and Jewish centres, has raised serious concerns among community security officials.
In the London video, rows of boys in white shirts and pressed black trousers and girls in blue flares, white blouses and matching hijabs can be seen saluting and singing their allegiance to their “commander”, Ayatollah Khamenei.
The children, aged between eight and 15, sing: “Without you, this life has no meaning. This life comes alive when you are here for me.”
They then sing about fighting in history’s final battle for the mythical leader known as the Mahdi, last seen supposedly almost 1,200 years ago.
Shia theology says the Mahdi will return to Earth to lead Muslim forces in the war of the apocalypse, accompanied by an elite band of 313 fighters — including, the song suggests, the children in the video.
They sing: “We wait for under the flag of our leaders. Tell me beloved, will you arrive soon? May Allah hasten your reappearance…
“We may be young but do not see us as too young. For you I will rise up and you will not see me fall. From the 313, you will see I will answer the call… Take my oath of loyalty as a warrior and servant.”
Kasra Aarabi, the head of the Iran Programme at the Tony Blair Institute, told the JC that the “cult” of Mahdi doctrine is now driving Iranian regime policy and its attempts to radicalise Shia Muslims.
“It is antisemitic to its core”, he said, “because it holds that before the Mahdi can return, Israel must be destroyed and all the world’s Jews put to death”.

Nicole Lampert, the freelance journalist, best-selling ghostwriter and former Showbusiness Editor of the Daily Mail, appeared on the most recent episode of Podcast Against Antisemitism where she disclosed that her teenage son was the victim of aggressive, threatening phone calls based on his Jewish identity.
Discussing last year’s incident, Ms Lampert said: “We were on holiday in Norfolk and my son gets a phone call, and it was from an anonymous number. ‘Are you a f***ing Jew?’ And he said, ‘What?’.
“[The Caller] said ‘Don’t say “what”, just answer the question. Are you a f***ing Jew?’. And [her son] said ‘Yes’, and [the Caller] said ‘Watch your back.”
Ms Lampert continued: “That frightened my son, and we weren’t at home. He was frightened enough to say ‘Can you get a neighbour to go round and just check the house?’ He didn’t know who it was. He had an idea who it was. It wasn’t someone from his school.”
Ms Lampert added that her son continued to receive anonymous phone calls throughout the week.
“That, he found hard. But generally, he’s okay, I would say. It’s quite a young lesson to learn…antisemitism has risen,” the journalist said, adding that her son was also witnessing antisemitism on social media.
In addition, a fellow student at her son’s student called her son “Jew”, in what Ms Lampert described as “in a nasty way, to his face”, which she felt was as a result of the conflict between Israel and the antisemitic genocidal terrorist group, Hamas.
Ms Lampert added that she was contacted by a fellow Jewish parent at the school who asked her: “How are your boys? Because my daughter is afraid to go to school because her friends have been posting stuff on social media.”
The content in question allegedly referred to conspiracy theories pertaining to Jewish people and Israel.
Last year, in response to similar concerns, Campaign Against Antisemitism publisheda short resource on “What to do about antisemitism at school” for children and parents, which helps identify antisemitism using the International Definition of Antisemitism and provides pointers on how to act when antisemitic incidents arise.
Throughout the interview, Ms Lampert discussed her extensive primer on antisemitism within the Labour Party, her own experiences of online antisemitism and stories from her life as a showbiz writer.

Ms Lampert added that she was contacted by a fellow Jewish parent at the school who asked her: “How are your boys? Because my daughter is afraid to go to school because her friends have been posting stuff on social media.”
The content in question allegedly referred to conspiracy theories pertaining to Jewish people and Israel.
Last year, in response to similar concerns, Campaign Against Antisemitism publisheda short resource on “What to do about antisemitism at school” for children and parents, which helps identify antisemitism using the International Definition of Antisemitism and provides pointers on how to act when antisemitic incidents arise.
Throughout the interview, Ms Lampert discussed her extensive primer on antisemitism within the Labour Party, her own experiences of online antisemitism and stories from her life as a showbiz writer.

A man has been sentenced after yelling “I’ll blow you up, you f***ing Jew” to a Jewish man earlier this year.
Earlier this month, Paul Daniel Newman, 57, was found guilty at Stratford Magistrates Court of racially or religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour as well as causing fear or provocation of violence.
At this week’s sentencing, Mr Newman of Ealing was handed 20 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.
He was also ordered to comply with 30 days rehabilitation activity requirement and six months in an alcohol treatment programme.
In addition, he must also pay £625 prosecution costs and £154 victim surcharge.
Varinder Hayre, CPS District Crown Prosecutor and London North Hate Crime lead, said: “London is a diverse City and it is completely unacceptable for the Jewish community to be subjected to this kind of antisemitic hatred. Hate crime will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted robustly.
“I’d also like to thank the Metropolitan Police for their diligence in helping to ensure justice for the victim and providing victim support.”
Campaign Against Antisemitism works closely with Shomrim, with whom we have a data-sharing agreement.
Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over three hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than four times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.

Australian-Jewish teenager Harry Sheezel made headlines Monday for getting drafted into the Australian Football League and for facing a barrage of online antisemitism in the wake of his selection.
The 18-year-old medium forward was picked third overall by last-place North Melbourne, which finished the 2022 season with only two wins in 22 matches. Australian football is comparable to rugby and features two 18-player teams on an oval-shaped field, with the aim of kicking the ball through goalposts to score points.
Before Sheezel could celebrate his selection, he was the recipient of a slew of hateful comments on social media.
