Jewish Restaurant Burned in Montreal — Growing Jihadi Influence in the West

I recently walked through two beautiful European cities with deep Jewish history. The synagogues still stand. The stories are remembered. But the Jewish communities themselves have largely disappeared. Hardly any Jews remain.In one of those cities, a local Jew was upset to see me wearing my kippah in public. “Why stand out?” he asked. He wasn’t afraid for me — he was afraid for himself and the consequences he would face. Christians walk freely with their symbols. Muslims do the same. For Jews, hiding identity is treated as normal. That should never be accepted as normal.A Jewish restaurant in Montreal was just burned down. The arsonist was caught on camera. Authorities are investigating it as a hate crime. Across North America, Europe, and Australia, antisemitic attacks keep rising. Jewish schools need heavy security. Synagogues look like fortresses. Many Jews now hide Jewish symbols in public. Just a few years ago this was unnecessary. Today the warning signs are unmistakable. Jewish history is repeating itself.Yet at this exact moment, so much of the Jewish conversation is consumed by the latest blood libel: so-called “settler violence.” Analysis of the UN’s own OCHA database shows that the vast majority of listed incidents do not involve Jewish settlers attacking anyone. The data includes jihadi attacks on Israelis, security-force incidents, property disputes, and more. After filtering, only a small fraction remains — and even that is heavily manipulated. The narrative redirects attention away from the real threat: a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that massacred Jews on October 7 and continues to target Jews worldwide.While Jews are attacked in Montreal, New York, London, Paris, and Sydney simply for being Jews, the focus stays on blaming Jews in Judea and Samaria. The greatest response to rising antisemitism is not more security systems. It is aliyah. It is returning home to Israel — the only place where Jewish identity is the air we breathe and the national calendar we live by.For 2,000 years Jews ended the Seder with “Next year in Jerusalem.” That prayer is no longer a dream. It is an airline ticket. History is speaking again. The question is whether we are ready to listen.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
