Global surge in antisemitic attacks sparks urgent call for Jews to return to Israel

Global surge in antisemitic attacks sparks urgent call for Jews to return to Israel

Paul Calvert

It’s been a bad week for Jews around the world.

Two brothers were arrested after planning an attack on Jews in France.
A Jewish school was targeted in Amsterdam.
There was an arson attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam.
There was also an attack on a synagogue in Michigan, USA.

While Israel is serving the world by getting rid of a nuclear program run by a tyrannical regime that threatens the world, Jews are being targeted globally.

We thank God that no one was killed in these attacks, but we know it is only a matter of time before a very serious incident arises, like in Bondi or Manchester.

The pro-Palestine mobs who have been chanting “globalize the intifada” should be very grateful that no one has been killed in these attacks this week, because they would have blood on their hands.

This is what “globalize the intifada” means. It means go out and kill Jews. Do they really understand that?

When a Jew dies in one of these attacks, I hold every person responsible who has shouted “globalize the intifada.” You will have blood on your hands.

You will be guilty of inciting hatred which led to the murder of an innocent Jew. Can you live with that? You will be no better than Hitler and the Nazis.

I think this week, and the weeks before it, should be a wake-up call to Jews around the world. Come home. Come to Israel. Be the generation that fulfills biblical prophecy. Your home is here, so come home.

The world is not safe for Jews anymore.

I have recently been reading the book of Genesis, the story of Joseph. Joseph became great in Egypt; he was second in command. Jacob, his father, and his family joined him. When Jacob died, Egypt mourned. There was great respect for Joseph and Jacob.

But things changed. Over time, things changed. A new ruler arose who did not know Joseph or Jacob. The attitude toward the Jews changed, and they ended up in bondage for 400 years.

After October 7, the attitude of the world has changed. There has always been antisemitism, but the world has changed. Jews should not feel settled anymore—they should come home.

“Globalize the intifada” is being shouted on the streets, so see the warning signs. You don’t live in the same world anymore.

Come, come home to Eretz Israel and fulfill biblical prophecy.

Ezekiel 34:13
“And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country.” (NKJV)

Psalms 107:2–3
“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.”

Come and invest in your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in the nation of Israel. There is a future and a hope for you.

There is a nation ready and waiting for you—a nation that cares for the Jews. The Jewish homeland Jacob called Israel.

Iran sees control of Strait of Hormuz as victory over US, Israel - report

Iran sees control of Strait of Hormuz as victory over US, Israel - report

i24NEWS

Iran is showing no indication it is ready to end the war with the United States and Israel, as officials say Tehran is relying on its control over the Strait of Hormuz to increase global economic pressure and strengthen its position.

According to regional officials cited by The Washington Post, Iran is rejecting diplomatic efforts to identify an off-ramp and instead escalating attacks on neighboring countries. An Iranian diplomat said the strategy is to “make this aggression super expensive for the aggressors,” as Tehran faces sustained military pressure.

The Strait of Hormuz remains central to Iran’s calculations. The waterway carries roughly one-fifth of global fuel shipments, and its partial closure has disrupted energy markets. US President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour deadline for Iran to reopen the route, warning of further escalation if it does not comply

Iranian officials and diplomats said the leadership views its ability to maintain pressure through the strait as a short-term success, even as infrastructure damage mounts. “They don’t feel any pressure to negotiate,” one European diplomat based in the Gulf said, adding that Iran sees its influence over oil markets as a form of leverage.

At the same time, efforts to mediate a ceasefire have so far failed. Officials from Qatar and Oman approached Iran last week, but Tehran said it would only engage if US and Israeli strikes stopped first. An Iranian diplomat said the country would not accept a “premature ceasefire” and is seeking guarantees, including compensation and commitments to prevent future attacks.

The war has already caused significant damage. The Pentagon says more than 15,000 targets have been struck across Iran, while Iranian authorities report over 1,200 civilian deaths. The conflict has also expanded regionally, with Iranian strikes targeting energy infrastructure in Gulf states following attacks on its own facilities.

Despite mounting losses, analysts say Iran’s leadership believes prolonging the conflict could shift pressure onto Washington and its allies through rising energy prices and regional instability. “We’re still on an escalatory path,” said Alan Eyre, a former US official, adding that Tehran is attempting to “up the costs” rather than move toward negotiations.

Netanyahu in Arad: 'Iran has the whole world in its sights'

Israel National News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene of a recent missile strike in Arad, where he accused Iran of escalating attacks against civilians and warned that the threat now extends far beyond Israel.

Speaking at the impact site, Netanyahu said the past 48 hours had demonstrated that Iran poses a danger to the entire world. He noted that a missile had struck a civilian area, describing it as an intentional attempt to cause mass casualties. Although no one was killed, he emphasized that this was due to chance rather than restraint.

The prime minister also pointed to additional incidents, including strikes near religious sites in Jerusalem and a long-range missile launch that he said showed Iran’s growing reach, saying that these actions highlight Iran’s capability to threaten regions well beyond the Middle East.

“Iran is putting everyone in its sights," Netanyahu said, adding that its actions against international shipping routes further demonstrate an effort to destabilize global security and exert pressure on the international community.

He stressed that Israel, alongside the United States under Donald Trump, is working to confront what he described as a “terrorist regime," and called on other world leaders to take a more active role.

Addressing Israel’s response to the attack, Netanyahu said the military is acting “with great force," but is targeting Iranian leadership and infrastructure rather than civilians. He specified that operations are focused on the regime, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as its leadership, installations, and economic assets.

Netanyahu outlined two primary objectives for the ongoing campaign: dismantling Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, and creating conditions that could enable the Iranian people to challenge their government.

Trump to Iran: Open Strait of Hormuz in 48 hours or your power plants will be hit

Trump to Iran: Open Strait of Hormuz in 48 hours or your power plants will be hit

Israel National News

US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran on Saturday night, saying they must open the Strait of Hormuz unconditionally within 48 hours.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

In a post published about an hour earlier, Trump said that “the United States has blown Iran off of the map", rejecting analysis stating he hasn’t met the goals of the war. 

“Yes I have, and weeks ahead of schedule! Their leadership is gone, their navy and air force are dead, they have absolutely no defense, and they want to make a deal. I don’t! We are weeks ahead of schedule," he wrote, adding, “Just like their incompetent Election coverage of me, The Failing New York Times always gets it wrong!"

On Friday, Trump wrote that the United States is approaching its strategic objectives in its military campaign against what he described as the “terrorist regime of Iran," signaling that American operations in the Middle East may soon wind down.

Trump’s post came after he indicated, in a conversation with reporters, that he does not want a ceasefire with Iran right now.

"I don't want to do a ceasefire. You know you don't do a ceasefire when you're literally obliterating the other side," he said.

Trump's Board of Peace presents Hamas with new written disarmament proposal

Trump's Board of Peace presents Hamas with new written disarmament proposal

ByREUTERS, JERUSALEM POST STAFF

US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace has presented Hamas with a written proposal on how it could lay down its weapons, two sources said, a step the Palestinian terrorists have thus far refused to take as the US president pushes on with his plan for Gaza's future.

The proposal, first reported by NPR, was submitted to Hamas during meetings in Cairo over the past week, one of the sources said.

"The idea itself that Hamas would disarm is not out of the question," Robert Danin, a former senior US State Department and White House official specializing in the Middle East, told NPR at the time. "The question is, when and under what circumstances and at what price?"

The talks were attended by Nickolay Mladenov and Aryeh Lightstone, the two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Mladenov is the Trump-appointed Board of Peace envoy to Gaza. Lightstone is a US aide to Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Trump's Gaza plan, to which Israel and Hamas agreed in October, sees Israeli troops withdrawing from Gaza and reconstruction starting as Hamas lays down its weapons

Mladenov on Thursday said that serious efforts were underway to bring relief to war-torn Gaza, with a framework agreed by the mediators that could advance reconstruction in the enclave, much of which lies in ruins.

"It is now on the table. It requires one clear choice: full decommissioning by Hamas and every armed group, with no exceptions and no carve-outs. In this season of hope, may those responsible make the right choice for the Palestinian people," Mladenov said on X/Twitter in a post for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.

Representatives of Hamas were not immediately available for comment on Saturday, the second day of the holiday. Talks on disarmament had been placed on hold at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28.
