JTA, May 21, 2018:

Vandals set fire to a synagogue in southern Brazil after painting threats to the Jewish community on its walls.

Flammable fuel was poured under the main entrance door of the Israelite Society of Pelotas building on Thursday, and set it alight causing minor damage. The criminals also wrote pro-Palestinian messages on the wall as well as threats to the Jewish community, which should “wait” for an “international Intifada.”

\
Local Jewish leaders said the attack was “an insult to democracy and freedom of speech and religion,” and called for the involvement of federal authorities.

The synagogue’s wooden door and furniture, glass windows, and electric installations were damaged.

“It is alarming that the tension in the Middle East translates into an attack on the Brazilian Jewish community. We have contacted the police authorities responsible for investigating and punishing the perpetrators of this criminal act of violence and religious intolerance,” said Fernando Lottenberg, president of the Brazilian Israelite Confederation, the country’s umbrella Jewish organization.

This was the third recent attack on the synagogue. In addition to pro-Palestinian slogans, calls for the release of jailed leftist ex-president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva had been written on the walls in previous attacks. Arrested last month for corruption, populist leader Lula was a strong supporter of the Arab world and his two terms as president were marked with a strong anti-Israel sentiment.

Founded in 1933, the synagogue is the central meeting point for the 70 Jewish families of Pelotas. The city of some 350,000 residents is located in the south of Brazil’s southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, which includes the country’s largest population of German immigrants and their descendants and commonly sees neo-Nazi incidents.

The last sentence of the article seems to be trying to imply neo-nazis are responsible, but I don’t believe that, unless the neo-nazis have names like Abu, Farid, Farshad, Fuqwad and all hold the quranus as a holey book.

The only real difference is that one group of nazis has darker skin, but yes, I think this was perpetrated by an Abu, Farid or even a Mahmoud or Muhammad.

THIS is an example of a real “hate crime”, not the faux cases that the Muslims constantly complain and whine about.

The Lebanese Arabs in Pelotas are prime source of Jew hatred. Same is true in much of Australia as well.

Perhaps it’s time the Jewish and
Christian communities started retaliating. Every time those subhuman savages spraypaints islamic threats, Jewish and Christians should grafitti their mosques with passages and verses of God’s love.
They damage a synagogue or church, then a mosque should get a coat of bacon.
Enough is enough.

The leftist media, as is usual, do not notice the truth about this fact. It was really an act of terrorism. Brazil needs to open its eyes. This week also, Brazilian police authorities, alerted by the Spanish authorities, arrested eleven people who were intending to commit terrorist acts in Brazil, mirroring themselves in the acts committed in Germany, London and France, with intent even to be committed during the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, where there is an immense concentration of people and thousands of tourists.

The Brazilians, if they had half a brain, would take a lesson from their neighbours the Venezuelans who forced their Jewish citizens to flee discrimination. Venezuela was one of the most wealthy and productive and successful of the South American countries.
Now with most of their Jews gone they are literally starving to death and killing each other. Their rate of inflation is over 1,000% per annum. It will very soon be another Islamic satrapy, slaves to the followers of Allah.
And they well deserve it.

I wonder if the Pope is losing much sleep over the loss of yet more Catholics to Islam.

By forcing the Jews out, Venezuela came under a curse, even as the LORD told Abraham in Genesis 12:3,

“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Just as “all roads lead to Rome”, the pope seems to believe that all “religions” lead to heaven. If I were elected to feed God’s sheep, I would be literary scared to death. Those in such position of authority will be held more accountable.

A VERY SMALL MINORITY OF “Jews living the good ‘safe’life’…….”.
Why single out only the Jews?
Are they not allowed to live the good safe life?
You anti Semitic bigot!

I wonder if the Jews of Yeshua, Hillel’s, Hezekiah’s or David’s time were fond of wearing bearskin caps and dark clothes in the 100°F+ summer temperatures of the Mid-East?

These are the same overseas Lebanese Arabs who make such a mess in Australian cities as well. They have been in Brazil for generations and their virulence has, if anything, increased with the worldwide radicalization of the ummah.
