In response to U.S. President Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital:

“The very knife with which you cut Palestine is a criminal, infidel, hypocritical knife, and it will be turned against you and will cut your bodies and behead you. This knife will sever your heads from your bodies, just like you severed East Jerusalem from West Jerusalem.”Anna Caldwell, “Ismail al-Wahwah: Muslim speaker’s horrific speech referred to police,” Daily Telegraph (Sydney), September 7, 2020, https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/ismail-alwahwah-muslim-speakers-horrific-speech-referred-to-police/news-story/afcb9484b456b4cdb5db247169b332ae.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
