The attacks intensify against Jews in the world and the world excuses it by blaming Israel. This is deja vu all over again.

An armed group vandalized Caracas' oldest synagogue, shattering religious objects and spray-painting walls in what Jewish leaders called the worst attack ever on their community in Venezuela.

Two security guards were overpowered by about 15 people who ransacked the
synagogue's sanctuary and offices late Friday, leaving graffiti such as: We don't want murderers, and Jews, get out.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro condemned the attack and promised it would be investigated, while reiterating his government's opposition to what he called Israel's criminal government.

Is it really surprising that this is happening? The State of Israel destroys religious buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, power stations etc.....

Are you actually condoning the attacks on Jews globally? Are you excusing them? If so there is nothing to discuss. Please look in the mirror and cry and ask God/Allah, Christ/Krishna/Buddah/higher power for forgiveness.
