TODAY'S CONTENT








 
Note
A NOTE TO OUR READERS

Dear Supporters of AFSI,

We hope you find our daily emails informative and challenging. Informative, because in these times when so many lies about Israel, Jews, Islam, BDS and so many other issues are being spewed forth daily, we must disseminate the truth and stand up to the liars. Challenging, because we hope that after reading our posts, you don't just delete or file the emails away, but are motivated to take action.

Thank goodness, there are numerous weekly publications dedicated to telling the truth. One of them The Jewish Voiceencourages all AFSI members to write letters to the editor on BDS, the current election, terrorism in Europe, anti-Semitism, Israel's issues, and all topics of interest. Whether or not our emails motivate you, please raise your voices via your keyboards. Write to The Jewish Voice and express your views!

Their email address is: editor@jewishvoiceny.com.

Geert Wilders Sounds The Alarm


Helen Freedman,
AFSI Executive Director
with Geert Wilders, Leader,
Dutch Freedom Party

AFSI's Helen Freedman, Judy Freedman Kadish, Ruth King, and Charlie Bernhaut attended a Gatestone Institute event on Tuesday evening, July 26 at a private function. Geert Wilders, head of Holland's Freedom Party, was the guest speaker. People may remember his film FITNA, exposing the Islamic reign of terror brought on by quotes from the Koran. Wilders was put on trial for making the film, but was acquitted. He is now on trial again in the Netherlands and in Austria for hate speech, and has been on a death list for over a decade.
 
This courageous Dutchman's message is that Europe is collapsing - surrendering to the results of an open door policy without the demands of assimilation. Islam, which means submission, incorporates sharia law. Wilders explained that Islam comes to dominate, NOT to integrate. He declared that WAR has been declared in Europe, but the leaders are all Chamberlains. He spoke about France, Germany, England, and Sweden where honor killings, genital mutilation, rapes, and rampant terror are everyday occurrences. He believes the populace is ready to identify the threat, but NOT the leaders. Instead of a First Amendment guaranteeing free speech, there are hate speech laws; Islamic lawfare is used against anyone who speaks out against Islam. However, Wilders declares that we must NEVER BE SILENT, that free speech is the breath of democracy.
 
Wilders seemed to echo the American popular message when he declared that the people are tired of the ruling elite. They want the borders closed, criminals expelled, and detention for suspected terrorists. They want to regain their national sovereignty. The political correctness that has infected America is rampant in Europe and Wilders calls it the biggest disease. If his party succeeds in the next election, his goal will be to make it unattractive for Moslems to live in Europe - whether they be from Syria, Morocco, or Africa. He concluded with the statement that Bat Ye'or's prediction about Europe becoming Eurabia has come true, but he must remain hopeful for the future. If the people prevail over the corrupt leadership, Europe will survive.

This Political Correctness is Killing Us


Why, oh why, Pope Francis must you engage in false political correctness? 

One of your very own - 86-year-old priest Jacques Hamel - had his throat slit and head cut off by Islamic terrorists in northern France, and you make the following statement:

"...But it's a real war, not a religious war. It's a war of interests, a war for money. A war for natural resources and for the dominion of the peoples. Some might say it's a religious war. Every religion wants peace."
