God, we pray against the rising tide of anti-Semitism in our nation. Soften the hearts of Americans toward Israel and the Jews.

Jewish students are being intimidated as anti-Semitic sentiments dominate American culture and some sects of politics.

From New York Post. A handful of Cooper Union’s Jewish students barricaded inside the university’s library Wednesday when pro-Palestinian protesters blew past security and aggressively pounded on the building’s doors.

A Jewish senior at the East Village institution recounted the terrifying moment she watched the demonstrators slam anti-Zionist posters against the window and shout “antisemitic rhetoric.” …

“When they started banging on the door, my heart started pounding. I was crying,” the student, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post. …

The demonstrators — who were carrying Palestinian flags and “Zionism Hands Off Our Universities” signs — had scheduled the 1 p.m. demonstration outside the 7 E. 7th St. building when they decided to move through the interior. …

The group of several dozen demonstrators breezed past security’s feeble attempts to stop them from climbing the stairs as they chanted “Free Palestine,” video shows.

Security on the library’s 7th level locked the doors upon hearing the group come closer, preventing them from coming inside, but not stopping them from banging on the walls and continuing their chanting. …

No arrests or summonses were issued, and the ralliers left the building without incident. …

From Reuters. Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday.

THE TAKE

The advocacy group’s data – which showed a 388% rise in antisemitic incidents in the U.S. between Oct. 7 and Oct. 23 over the prior year – comes amid monitoring by American authorities of domestic threats due to the conflict.

THE NUMBERS

The ADL Center on Extremism said preliminary data showed 312 reported U.S. antisemitic incidents from Oct. 7 to Oct. 23, including harassment, vandalism and assault. …

Among examples cited by ADL were alleged physical assault; violent online messages, especially on messaging platform Telegram; and rallies where “ADL found explicit or strong implicit support for Hamas and/or violence against Jews in Israel.”

In the same period of 2022, ADL recorded 64 U.S. antisemitic incidents. …

The 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht the “Night of Broken Glass” will take place on Nov. 9-10, 2023. Intercede like never before against greater pogroms planned against Judeo/Christian believers worldwide.

KRISTALLNACHT, THE NIGHT OF BROKEN GLASS:
November 9-10, 1938

by Eva
The uneasiness felt throughout the land
Did not point to “all was well”.
Soon, the evil that was lurking
Like a cold, dark blanket fell.
Then was heard life’s shattering sound
Throughout the German nation:
An horrific sound that stirred up
Hell’s minions to exhilaration.
Rocks crashed through Jewish shop windows,
With glass shattering everywhere.
Synagogues were burnt fast to the ground
And Jewish homes were pillaged without a care.
They pleaded for mercy and for justice
From those who’d desired them dead,
While their neighbors, in deafening silence,
Quickly turned away their heads.
It was a night unlike all other nights
For Israel’s sons and daughters.
Just like sheep, they were led away,
Earmarked for the slaughter.
Kristallnacht was the very spark
That ignited the Holocaust,
A great and unspeakable evil
Where 6,000,000 Jewish lives were lost.
The entire world stood guilty
Of this crime against humanity
Hitler, the Nazis, the Church and the Nations
All played a role in this atrocity.
The bystanders were the largest group
Indifferent, filled with shame,
Their passivity and their silence
Helped ignite HaShoah’s flame.
The lesson here speaks loud and clear.
Evil will yet prevail.
History will repeat itself
When good men, by their silence,

Lord God Almighty, I come to you with all humility, with a broken and repentant heart as we see the resurgence of the horror of Anti-semitism spreading worldwide. Lord, help us, to be Your voice for Your Chosen people, to stand for Your truth with Your love. May we trust You to give us Your strength and courage as we proclaim our heartfelt love and support for Israel. For those who are filled with hatred for the Jews we pray for the strongholds to be broken and for their hearts to be changed as they experience a visitation from You. In Your Victorious Name King Jesus, we pray for Your peace Jehovah-Shalom. Amen.

Pray that truth be told and that hearts soften against Isreael and Jews and that our young people and others know that the Israel is trying to stay alive against those that would exterminate them from this earth. May they know that God is with them and know that they will be saved. And Lord, give strength anda courage to the Israelites in this terrible struggle.

Lord God, the explosion of antisemitism in the college campuses and in cities around the globe is horrifying so we come to you in prayer with the authority you already gave us to trample on “snakes and scorpions” and we command an end to this spirit of Jew hatred. We understand that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the dark powers and principalities in the heavenly realm. We ask you, Father God, to send Michael the archangel and his regiments of angelic warriors now to fight this battle against your people as we help and strengthen them with our prayers. We pray the prince of Persia with his ancient hatred of your people would once again be utterly annihilated. We pray for a great outpouring of your Spirit over those who are called by your name AND over those who brazenly hate you. We pray that by our prayers the mouths of professors spewing hateful, Marxist, atheistic and antiemetic vitriol to their students will be not only closed but changed. That they will also have dreams of You and stop their hateful rhetoric in their tracks as they begin to search the Scriptures for truth. We pray the students will follow them in turning their swords to plowshares. We pray that in these Last Days there would be such an outpouring that all men will come to salvation in Christ Jesus and our sons and daughters will prophesy, our old med will dream dreams and our young men will see visions. We pray that ANYONE who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.
