New in PJ Media:
In a dispiriting sign of the times, the Britain-based Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has offered a £10,000 ($13,000) reward for information that could lead to the conviction of a knife-wielding man who attacked a Jewish man in London. While this offer is new, the attack took place during Chanukah last December. The details of this attack strongly suggest that the attacker is well-versed in Islamic theology and scripture, including the notorious hadith (report about Muhammad’s words and deeds) in which the prophet of Islam is depicted as saying that the end times will not come until Muslims kill Jews. This has been a long time coming: it has been over a decade since David Horowitz and I warned about this tradition and its possible impact on Muslim behavior and for our pains were denounced as “Islamophobes.” The London attack demonstrates that our warning was entirely justified.
It all started, according to the CAA, on December 2 a little after seven o’clock in the evening, as the victim was returning home from work: “He exited West Hampstead Underground Station and walked to the nearby Marks and Spencer supermarket located in West Hampstead Square.” On the way, he saw a man tearing down a public Chanukah display and stomping on it, all the while screaming “antisemitic abuse.”
The man who was tearing down the Chanukah display saw that he was being watched, and said to the man watching him: “You look Jewish.” He added that he was “looking for a Jew to kill.” The victim, understanding that he was in danger, said that he wasn’t Jewish (although he actually was). The attacker replied: “Good, I want to find a Jew to kill.” The victim then called the police, but despite the fact that the attacker had said that he was looking for someone to murder, the police didn’t think the case was serious enough for them to come quickly.
The attacker then began tearing down the Chanukah display again, as it had been repaired in the meantime. The victim confronted him, whereupon the attacker screamed: “I knew you were Jewish, you lied to me. You are Jewish. I am going to kill you.” Then he said something in Arabic and added: “I want to kill my first Jew.” He pushed the victim, repeating: “You are Jewish. I am going to kill you.” The attacker began punching the victim and ultimately grabbed a knife, saying, “I will kill you now, you Jew,” while gesturing across his throat.
