Remember the recent YouTube video in which a New York woman filmed the sexist remarks she endured in 10 hours of walking the streets of the Big Apple?
“A journalist decided to test how safe the streets of Paris are for Jews – by wearing a religious skullcap and filming the public’s reaction using a hidden camera.
Zvika Klein, a reporter for Jewish news outlet NRG, silently walked in the city for ten hours wearing a kippah – also known as a yarmulke – on his head and a tzitzit (knotted ritual tassels).”
He is intimidated, followed, spit at, called names, and most telling of all, one child is recorded saying to his mother:
What is he doing here Mommy? Doesn’t he know he will be killed?
Can you imagine enduring such animosity in your city? How safe would you feel?
Anti-Semitism seems to be growing. Jews in Europe seem to feel threatened, largely by the boldness of recent attacks by jihadists. Benjamin Netanyahu invites them to move to Israel if the are no longer safe in Europe. Is Europe that far gone? And in the long run, surrounded by hostile neighbors, is Israel safe?
In the end, I believe that God will protect those He loves, in Israel, in France, in America, anywhere. But before the end comes, I suspect there is a lot of suffering in the near future that comes first.
