Information Warfare: Evolving Antisemitism
Ezoic
January 28, 2025: In November 2024 there was another outbreak of antisemitism in Europe when pro-Palestinian groups in Amsterdam sought out and attacked Jews, real or suspected, in many parts of the city. Antisemitism is hatred of Jews, who are members of a religious minority of 16 million worldwide compared to 2.4 billion Christians, 1.9 billion Moslems and 1.2 billion Hindus.
Radical Palestinians want Israel eliminated and all Jews out of the Middle East. Their motto, From The River To The Sea, aptly describes Palestine replacing Israel. Pro-Palestinian movements have become popular in the West because some Palestinian groups are funded by wealthy Arabs in the Persian Gulf. That money also goes to pro-Palestinian groups in Europe and the United States.
This is related to another problem, the plunging Christian population in the Christian holy places of the Middle East, especially places like Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Bethlehem, which for centuries was largely Christian, Arab Christians for the most part, is now only 12 percent Christian. When Israel was founded in 1948, Jerusalem was 15 percent Christian, now it is only 1.2 percent Christian. The decline is not just in the traditional Christian holy places but throughout the Middle East and Moslem countries in general. This is all the result of long standing Islamic disdain for other religions. During the last century that disdain has increasingly turned to violence and outright hatred. Most Christians, and other religious minorities, fled to the West, often the United States. Until a decade ago most Arab Americans were Christian.
