Two years ago if someone had thrown a Molotov cocktail at a synagogue in Toronto, Brussels, London or Paris, it would have made front-page headlines the world over. Today, these incidents barely make it to the "international news section" of most daily newspapers.

This "recent rise in anti-Semitic attacks" didn't exist just a few years ago. Is it really happened because the world's population is showing more hatred
and anger towards Diaspora Jewry because of "Israel's treatment of the Palestinians"?

What is very peculiar about this "new wave of anti-Semitic attacks" is that they cause relatively few casualties. When an attack takes place, it is usually directed at a physical building or a tombstone. Or, if a bomb goes off, rarely is anyone in the school or synagogue.

For instance, on April 30th, 2002, a firebomb was thrown at synagogues in Dusseldorf and Berlin but nobody was hurt. On April 27th London's Finsbury Park
Synagogue had its windows smashed. Nobody inside the building at the time. In Paris a warehouse at a Jewish school was destroyed by arson but nobody was
injured. There were also no casualties in a fire that was set in a Jewish school in the Paris suburb of Sacrelles. During the first half of 2002 synagogues in
Marseille, Strasbourg, Toulon, Noisy-Le-Sec, Rome, Belarus, Toulouse, Lyon, Montpellier and Paris, Brussels and Kiev, were firebombed or vandalized- but
caused no deaths or even any serious casualties.

During the first half of 2002, attacks on Jewish property or stores have occurred in such geographically diverse localities as Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Mexico City, San Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, South Africa, Australia, and The Netherlands. While many Jewish tombstones have been vandalized in Jewish communities around the world, the assailants never seem to be apprehended.

So other than in a very small number of incidents, few deaths or major casualties have resulted from this attacks. Are we to conclude that, either the perpetrators of these attacks have no interest in actually harming Jews (but merely scaring them), or, they are the worst terrorists in the entire world. If local Arabs are responsible for the attacks, do they belong to a larger organization that is anti-Israel? If so, none of these organizations have taken responsibility for these attacks against Jews. In fact, in the past eighteen months of attacks on Jewish targets, not even one organization (Arab-linked or "Nazi-linked) has taken credit for any of these anti-Semitic acts.

So Who Then Is Behind These Attacks on World Jewry?

It has been stated in the media that the attacks are being carried out by either, "radical Arabs" or, "local, disgruntled anti-Semites". There is never an indication that anyone who isn't either an "anti-Semite" or "Arab" are the ones carrying out these attacks. However no Arab or "disgruntled anti-Jewish people) have been arrested for taking part in any of the attacks- let alone convicted.

So this still begs the obvious question: just who is behind these attacks? If so many attacks have taken place at relatively around the same time period, shouldn't we believe it to be an organized, worldwide attempt by someone or some group to "hurt the Jews for their support of Israel"? If the culprits are Arabs, which Arabs? We know that when Arab terrorists in the Middle East make bombs and set out to kill Israelis, they are usually very successful at it and take full credit for it. How come the so-called "radical Arab groups" behind the bombing and arson attacks against all these synagogues wind up killing so few Jews and never phone the media to tell them they were responsible? Another question one might is if these "Arab groups" wanted to really "hurt the Jews" they would import once of their suicide bombers from the Middle East and walk into a local, unguarded kosher deli and kills tens of people. For some reason, these "Arab terrorists" don't hate Jews enough to want to kill them- just cause physical damage to their communal property.

Another question someone should be asked is why are there no reports of suspects, leads, criminal investigations or any suspects apprehended? If the target is "Israel" and "Israel's supporters" outside of Israel, how come these Arab groups and "anti-Semitic Nazis" make no attempt to hit obvious Israeli targets such as the local offices of El Al and Bank Leumi or the building in most large Jewish cities where all the "Zionist organizations" typically have all their offices? Why would these Arab attackers go after Jewish targets in places like Saskatoon, Canada, Swansea, Wales, or Helsinki, Finland which have
minuscule Jewish populations when they can attack much larger Jewish population centers in other cities and cause much more damage or casualties?

If the attacks are merely the work of "local, right-wing, disgruntled anti-Semites" how come the phenomenon is now taking place on every continent in
the world- not just in countries, which have been known to have "anti-Jewish" elements? Has the world become much more anti-Semitic due to recent events in the Middle East?

What Is The Media Telling Us?

Perhaps if we all didn't know better we could be led to believe that these "random attacks" are not so random and that they are planned and executed due to a well-thought out planned strategy of "creating threats" where "threats" didn't before exist.

Most non-Jews, most of them, the overwhelming majority (in all the continents of the planet earth), don't hate Jews and share absolutely no "anti-Jewish" sentiments towards their Jewish neighbors. In the UK, Europe, France, The US, Canada, Australia, South Africa and S. America, post WW2 Jewish communities have experienced very, very little dangerous threats from "anti-Semitism". There Jewish populations have lived very well with their neighbors and each side have
benefited greatly.

While some Jewish organizations would rather not hear this, the fact is, Jews get along pretty good wherever they have mixed with non-Jews. Jews are law-abiding, hard working, very talented people who contribute greatly to their non-Jewish society they are a part of. Most people would agree that all in all, the majority of non-Jews are not biased against Jews. Few, if any, non-Jews (anywhere in the world) would openly express their hatred for Jews and of those that do, how many of them would be so angry as to place a bomb in a house of worship? This idea that locals get turned into anti-Semites because of "events in the Middle East" is nothing but conjecture by the media and their "Jewish pundits". "Events in the Middle East" have been going on for nearly a century yet supposedly all these otherwise non-anti-Semitic people suddenly become "anti-Semitic" and are ready to commit violent acts against their Jewish neighbors.

Something is very wrong with this picture. There is no way those taking part in the blowing up and firebombing of synagogues are non-Arab locals who never before harbored anti-Jewish feelings, but, suddenly, now, because of "recent events in the Middle East", have decided to become "urban terrorists" ready to commit mass murder. And, rather than direct their anger at "Israeli targets" they blame their Jewish countrymen because these people show solidarity with Israel. That is clearly not what is happening. So then what is?

Until someone comes up with a logical explanation to explain this "new wave of anti-Semitism" it should be assumed that these criminal acts being carried out against Jewish targets and are being perpetrated by some unknow group or organization.

The question is who, for what purpose, and for whose benefit?
