Its an old situation where Europe's governments would protect Jews from their neighbors. Right up until the government needed a scapegoat. New middle-ages. Cool cool cool.

"In particular, #military personnel will ensure the #security of #synagogues and #Jewish #schools. The decision was made following the attack last week against the #synagogue in the city of #Liège and similar attacks that occurred in the #Netherlands and #Norway against synagogues and a #Jewishschool.

“Against a backdrop of rising #antiSemitism, the attack that took place at the synagogue in Liège served as a stark reminder that the threat facing #Belgium’s Jewish community is very real. Ensuring the safety of our fellow citizens is the responsibility of the state in all its forms, regardless of any other political considerations. The deployment of military personnel to reinforce security around Jewish sites will provide direct support to the police,” said Minister Quintin."

Absolutely expected this today. Didn't know where it would be, but I'm unsurprised that it was somewhere. Exhausting.

"An #explosion damaged a #Jewishschool in #Amsterdam early on Saturday, causing no injuries, in what the city’s mayor described as a deliberate attack against the #Jewish community, #Dutch news agency ANP reported.

The explosion at the school in an upscale residential neighborhood on Amsterdam’s south side caused only limited damage, Mayor #FemkeHalsema said in a press release, as police and firefighters arrived quickly at the scene.

“This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community,” Halsema said.

“Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly confronted with #antisemitism. This is unacceptable.”

"The armed police are outside the #school again. Not because of a fight or drugs: it’s more chilling. On the other side of the world, 15 #Jewish people have been killed and 40 others are lying in hospital after two gunmen targeted a #Hanukkah celebration taking place on #BondiBeach. And that means there’s an increased terror threat to #British #Jews.

But this is nothing new. #Schoolchildren who attend Jewish #schools in the #UK are now sadly used to several layers of #security, which would feel unthinkable to British pupils in other educational establishments. Even before #October7, on average, a #Jewishschool campus entrance would have two or three trained security guards and a couple of layers of gates or high walls."

You wouldn't believe how many of my students have been through Jewish school, or studied Hebrew at some point in their lives. And yet, when they find themselves in Israel, they realize they can't PRACTICALLY SPEAK HEBREW 🫣

If this is you, first off, it's not your fault!
