5 June 2010: A palpable animosity against Israel and the Jews, most recently exacerbated by media bias with regard to the nature of the “aid flotillas” to Gaza are generating a new and vicious level of anti-Semitism worldwide. Nowhere is this sentiment more evident than in Arabic language Internet web sites that serve Muslim terrorists and their sympathizers. The calls for a second holocaust and attacks against the Jews are at a fever pitch. And the calls for action are not limited to the Jews and synagogues in the Middle East, but right here in North America.

Messages on Islamic message boards are calling for members of the Muslim community to wage personal jihad against Jewish centers, schools, synagogues and Jewish owned businesses in the U.S. and Canada. Older Muslims or anyone who are infirmed are being instructed to facilitate those more able bodied. Muslims are urged to capitalize on the rise of anti-Semitism, and those specifically in the U.S. are urged to “take advantage of the historic, most openly pro-Palestinian administration” in history to change U.S. policy toward the nation of Israel.

The majority of postings are calling for the destruction of synagogues and replacing the Jewish places of worship with mosques and Islamic centers. Many are calling for Mumbai style attacks in the U.S. specifically targeting Jews, while others are urging “Times Square” style bomb attacks at Jewish centers. The instructions and postings are written in Arabic, and contain advisories to other posters to avoid communicating these sentiments on non-password protected message boards and in any other language than Arabic.

Analysts of the Northeast Intelligence Network have noted a significant rise in anti-Semitic postings over the last several months. Postings over the last several days, however, have become much more inciting. What we are seeing is a virtual call to action against Jews in the U.S. and Canada, and urge all Jewish centers, synagogues and businesses to increase vigilance and awareness.
