ALIYAH AND AGGRESSION IN MANDATE PALESTINE

ALIYAH AND AGGRESSION IN MANDATE PALESTINE

Upheaval in the nations in the wake of World War I combined with the Balfour Declaration fuels a Third Aliyah to the Eretz Yisrael.

But another phenomenon has also crept out of the Abyss and into the daylight: denial, equivocation, and even gleeful, public celebration of barbaric acts against Jews. These things haven't just come from the voices of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the ayatollahs in Iran. They have come from the streets of Istanbul, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. They have come from university campuses and city squares. Instead of a global outpouring of love and support, the global Jewish community is confronted with a renewed surge of antisemitic anger and violence that has targeted their shops, their homes, and their schools. Simply put, they have become the targets of a delusion.
