WhatsappShabbat ended and I saw a chilling video circulating from Marseille, France.
@judgemensch I don’t understand why you said all that. This is the video I was referring to from Marseille. Check out on mezuzah on the door of this home. https://t.co/dbDC9GirYs

A mob was storming a Jewish home, a mezuzah clearly visible on the doorway, with no police in sight to protect the residents. I can only imagine the terror that Jewish family must have felt inside their own home.
The precise circumstances surrounding the video still need to be verified, but the images should shake every Jew watching. I pray the family inside is safe and I pray this was the only Jewish home caught up in the violence.
And this comes just weeks after the October 17–18 riots in Marseille, when several Jewish-owned businesses were among the shops looted or damaged. Early reports, including a claim by French journalist Paul Amar, alleged that Jewish businesses had been deliberately singled out.
Whatever the motive in each individual attack, the images coming out of Marseille should be a terrifying warning for Europe’s Jews.
And this is unfolding as Western European cities experiences yet another weekend of frightening riots, looting and mass chaos.
Once again, violent mobs, including jihadi Muslims and radical far-left activists, are confronting police and bringing chaos to European cities.
Europe is being warned in real time.
And for the Jews of Europe, that warning is becoming increasingly terrifying.
For years I have warned about the red-green jihadi alliance between the radical left and jihadi forces and that Jews would ultimately be among its first targets.
Jews of Europe and throughout the West: wake up. This is still just the beginning of this scary red-green takeover of the Democratic Western countries we have enjoyed living in with relative safety over the past few decades.
But today is different than all other historical outbursts of insecurity for our Jewish ancestors. Today, after 2,000+ years, we finally are sovereign back in our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland again.
Come home before you discover that you waited too long. Not to run away from the growing Jew-hating antisemitism, but to come home and fulfill our annual Jewish pledge from the Passover Seder – ‘Next year in Jerusalem’.
And Jews in Israel must wake up too. Just because we are home does not mean our work is done.
This same red-green political alliance is at work here to destroy Israel, in a different form. Gadi Eisenkot and elements of the Israeli political left are right now pushing toward a government dependent upon anti-Israel Arab parties that literally support Hamas and the massacre of Jews on Oct. 7.
Yet the Israeli public, left, right and center, overwhelmingly understands the danger of making Israel’s government dependent upon political parties that support the destruction of Israel.
That tells you just how disconnected parts of Israel’s political left have become from their own constituency.
Europe is showing us where blindness to more than 1,400 years of jihad can lead.
The Jewish people in Israel are waking up to the dangers we face. But we are still up against a dangerous political left pushing policies dangerously disconnected from the reality around us, much like what we are witnessing across Europe.
The encouraging news? Even many Israelis who have traditionally identified with the left are waking up, questioning those failed assumptions of their political leaders and recognizing that reality has changed.
We are living through a historic wake-up process: Jews returning home to Israel, rediscovering who we are, and confronting the jihadi forces that seek our destruction from within and around us.
The end will be good. We are right now living through an extraordinary chapter in the return of the Jewish people to our homeland.
I just pray we do not have to endure more tragedies before enough Jews wake up and we witness all the good.
Strengthen your faith.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
