Not the mass murder of Israelis that took place in the past, at the Nova Music Festival that was held in Israel on October 7, 2023, but a mass murder planned for the future, at the Boom Music Festival to be held in Portugal this July. Antisemites, encouraged by the hatred that has been heaped on Israel by so much of the world, with so many people both so ill-informed and so malevolent, have apparently been planning to do all kinds of terrible things to the 4,000 Israelis expected to attend this year’s festival. Perhaps the sudden revelation about the planning of that massacre will prevent it, if Portuguese authorities wake up from their stupor, from being attempted.
Robert Spencer wrote about this briefly here, and more on their plans, and how they came to light, can be found here: “Jewish woman reveals plot to poison Israelis at Boom Festival in Portugal – KAN,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, June 10, 2025:
Members in a WhatsApp group for left-wing activists in Portugal were plotting to poison Israelis at the upcoming Boom Festival, Sarah (not her real name) told KAN News on Monday.
They also intended to defecate on the Israelis’ tents and urinate in their food.
Sarah, a Jewish woman who chose to remain anonymous, said that she entered the group chat through her work as an artist. She imagined that the other group members were not aware that she was Jewish.
“Their idea was to infiltrate the Boom Festival (set to take place in July), because a lot of Israelis go there after serving in the IDF. The group felt that it was unfair that [Israelis] should be allowed to be included,” Sarah said.
“At first, the idea was quite a mess, but then they began to organize themselves. What started with just silly ideas then began to take shape as plans. And as you can see, it’s truly sinister,” she continued….
Sarah said that she approached the festival organizers first about what she had heard and seen, but that “nothing has been done about it.”
“This is why I scrambled to try and warn the 4000 Israelis who I know are coming. They need to be careful and know that there is a plan in place to hurt them,” she said.
Sarah also spoke to the police, whom she said “did not take her seriously.”…
Yes, why take threats to murder Israelis seriously? After all, they have it coming, as members of the colonial-settler ethnic-cleansing genocidal state of Israel, that spreads its tentacles across half the globe. They can dish it out, those Zionists — just look what they’ve done killing hundreds of thousands of women and children and babies in Gaza while nobody says a word — but they can’t take it. Oh no, they expect the Portuguese police to protect them. Well, sorry, it’s not our affair. We kicked you out in 1497, and we are not about to welcome you back.
If Israelis are harmed at this music festival, the authorities — both the festival organizers and the police — having been notified in advance by “Sarah” that something terrible is being planned for those thousands of Israeli tourists, then decent people, including many in the American government, should do whatever they can to express their extreme displeasure over those Portuguese organizers of the festival and the police, who were warned about the threat but did nothing. Stop buying Porto, cancel your trip to the Algarve, write to your Congressman about ending Most Favored Nation status for Portugal. Or perhaps send an email to the Embassy of Portugal in Washington now, and mention all those possibilities, if the worst should be allowed to happen.
Isabella Hale says
So all threats will be taken seriously by the Israelis; Post that on X to the IDF or Israel and someone will see it.. I don’ t think tell the US EMBASSY in PORTUGAL is the answer to that one. Israel is dominating in its preemptive strike on IRAN right now. Israel is the most serious Nation about security in the World. I even wonder how the October 7th Massecre could have happened: that will never happen again. I don’t post on X I haven’t in a while.. I need to find my password and username again

That schemed mass murder of many Israelis at a music festival Portugal would if it occurred be another one of the malice-filled and deadly Muslim attacks of young adults at a concert for a good time.
For there was that horrendously evil and murderous jihadist bombing at a music concert in the city of Manchester, England on May, 22, 2017 in which 22 people had been murdered and many more severely injured, most of the victims had been young girls and young women.
Then on October, there was those horrific murders by the jihadists of Hamas at a music festival in the State of Israel on October 7, 2023 in which 260 young people had been viciously murdered by those jihadists, who also committed many other many other Islamic atrocities.
Just last year on March 22,th. on the outskirts of Moscow at another music concert there were more jihadists shootings and mass murders in which 137 people had killed by Muslim terrorists of ISIS in their jihad and at least 145 more people had been harmed.
Islam, which its jihadists hates music dancing and it also, hates people. It hates them to death.

That malicious and murderous Muslim terrorist attacks against Israelis at a music festival in Portugal reveals the scheming, and often actions of the Muslims who are taking part in the violent vicious and death inflecting jihad of Islam.
Furthermore, that Islamic- minded Ayatollah Khamenei hates the Jewish people, he hates the State of Israel, he hates music he hates dancing, he hates people having fun.
Therefore, it’s of no surprise that he liked and enjoyed those Islamic mass murders and carnage that the jihadists Hamas inflected on the peaceful, unarmed Jewish citizens of Israel on October 7th 2023.
For in in the House of Islam there’s no room for festive activities, music, dancing, happiness fun or humor in that religion. Moreover, the follower of that death cult will not even tolerate such things for people who are not Muslims.
For example, Ayatollah Khomeini had declared, “The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There can be no…joy in whatever is serious.” [1]
