Speaking before the Israeli Knesset and foreign diplomats on Monday, Israeli Jewish Congress President Vladimir Sloutsker said, “Never before since the Holocaust, have we seen such a situation as today.” Referring to the protests in Europe, he continued, “We are potentially looking at the beginning of another Holocaust now. These events will only grow in scale across Europe.”

The events he is referring to are the growing number of anti-Jew protests taking place around the world. Since Israel began Operation Protective Edge in Gaza to destroy Hamas terror tunnels into Israel, protests demonizing Israel have been staged throughout Europe, Canada, the United States, Australia and elsewhere. These protests generally feature chanting anti-Semitic slogans, burning Israeli flags, and even trying to incite violence against Jews and Jewish property. In several protests, Jews have been assaulted.

Protests were particularly violent in Paris where thousands have rallied and attempted to attack Jewish synagogues and shops. Despite a ban on anti-Israel protests instituted by the French government, thousands took to the streets of Paris on Saturday to vent their anger. In the last two weeks, 300 protests have been staged throughout France.

In Berlin, police kept a close eye on protests on Friday, where slogans that threatened violence against Jews were chanted repeatedly. Such chants against Jews “haven’t been seen since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany” after World War ii, said Micha Brumlik, senior adviser at the Berlin-Brandenburg Center of Jewish Studies. More than 70 years after the end of World War ii, and German youth are once again shouting, “Gas the Jews.”

Because of the violence these protests are inciting, many Jewish leaders are passionately pleading with European governments to work harder to stop the growing tide of hate. “Fight together with us,” pleaded Israeli M.K. Shimon Ohayon to the foreign diplomats present at Monday’s meeting. “We ask you to stop this wheel [of] anti-Semitic hatred in Europe.”

While many European nations have worked to clamp down on these protests, anti-Semitism is continuing to rise. French M.P. Meir Habib, a Jew who represents French expatriates in the National Assembly, called the situation in Europe “dire.” With more and more protesters calling for the death of Jews in France, he is “concerned that there will be a second Toulouse,” a reference to the 2012 merciless killing of three students and a rabbi at a Jewish school in that city.

At many of these protests, a phrase is becoming popular: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” It’s a genocidal slogan calling for the total destruction of the State of Israel, which lies between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It is little wonder that so many Jews fear violence, or worse, another holocaust. How soon before one of these protests become another Kristallnacht?
