   >>>> The first recorded pogrom in history occurred in first-century Egypt,   
   >>>> when lethal mobs in Alexandria, encouraged by the Roman prefect Aulus   
   >>>> Avilius Flaccus, savagely attacked the city’s Jews. In the words of an   
   >>>> eyewitness, the renowned philosopher Philo, the mobs were merciless,   
   >>>> “sparing neither age nor youth, nor the innocent helplessness of   
   infants.”   
   >>>> In Amsterdam Thursday, hundreds of attackers, carrying out a “Jew   
   hunt”   
   >>>> planned hours earlier on social media, targeted Israeli tourists who had   
   >>>> traveled to the Netherlands for a soccer match. In violence that was   
   >>>> “terribly reminiscent of a classic pogrom,” according to Deborah   
   >>>> Lipstadt, the historian, diplomat, and current US envoy on antisemitism,   
   >>>> the assailants shouted pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans while   
   >>>> they ambushed, beat, and chased the visiting Israelis. Much of the   
   >>>> violence was recorded on video and posted online. One witness told   
   >>>> Israel’s Channel 12 TV that the attackers were organized “like a   
   terror   
   >>>> group” and waited for the Jewish tourists “with clubs and knives. …   
   They   
   >>>> didn’t distinguish between women, children, men, or the elderly.”   
   >>>> In the 20 centuries between Alexandria and Amsterdam, Jews have faced   
   >>>> bloody assaults almost everywhere they have settled. There were pogroms   
   >>>> in Spain and in Syria, in the Rhineland and in Russia, in Turkey and in   
   >>>> Tunisia. The antisemitic violence in Amsterdam occurred one day before   
   >>>> the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-organized pogrom against the   
   >>>> Jews of Germany and Austria that foreshadowed the coming Holocaust. It   
   >>>> was also the anniversary of the United Nations’ poisonous 1975   
   >>>> resolution falsely labeling Zionism — the movement for Jewish   
   >>>> sovereignty in the Jewish homeland — “a form of racism and racial   
   >>>> discrimination.”   
   >>>> Unlike most of history’s antisemitic rampages, no one was killed by   
   >>>> Amsterdam’s Jew-hunting mobs, and government officials expressed   
   >>>> revulsion and shame. “We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands   
   >>>> during World War II,” said King Willem-Alexander, “and last night we   
   >>>> failed again.” The king was referring to the hundreds of thousands of   
   >>>> Dutch citizens who collaborated with Nazi Germany, when more than 75   
   >>>> percent of the country’s Jews — by far the highest percentage in   
   Western   
   >>>> Europe — were murdered in the Holocaust. Today, unlike then, there is a   
   >>>> state of Israel with the ability to assist endangered Jews. Within a day   
   >>>> of Thursday’s brutality, six El Al planes were being dispatched to   
   >>>> evacuate the Israeli tourists. Observed The Wall Street Journal: “Jews   
   >>>> are again fleeing the city where Anne Frank hid from the Nazis.”   
   >>>> The mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, acknowledged that the anti-Jewish   
   >>>> riot brought back “memories of pogroms” and called it “an outburst   
   of   
   >>>> antisemitism that I hope to never see again.” She will not be so   
   >>>> fortunate. Since Oct. 7, 2023, antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed in   
   >>>> the Netherlands. Thousands of chanting protesters disrupted the opening   
   >>>> of a Holocaust museum in March, throwing eggs, igniting fireworks, and   
   >>>> waving Palestinian flags. The Anne Frank monument in Amsterdam has   
   >>>> repeatedly been defaced. “It is now normal for Jews to be screamed at on   
   >>>> the street,” the country’s chief rabbi told a reporter in April.   
   “It’s   
   >>>> more and more antisemitic.”   
   >>>> Everywhere is more and more antisemitic.   
   >>>> What happened in Amsterdam is just the latest reminder that for Jews,   
   >>>> safety and tolerance are never permanent. Sooner or later the   
   >>>> antisemitic derangement revives, usually with fearful results. It is as   
   >>>> close to an immutable law of history as anything can be. For some   
   >>>> decades after the Holocaust, when the open expression of Jew-hatred   
   >>>> became taboo in the civilized world, it was possible to imagine that   
   >>>> that “law” had been repealed. But the idyll is over. Hostility toward   
   >>>> Jews and the Jewish state has become fashionable — especially among the   
   >>>> young. On the far left and the far right, on university campuses and the   
   >>>> internet, in Europe and the Middle East and North America, antisemitism   
   >>>> has again become mainstream.   
   >>>> Daniel Patrick Moynihan saw it coming. Addressing the UN General   
   >>>> Assembly after its notorious Zionism-is-racism vote 49 years ago this   
   >>>> week, the US ambassador declared that the United States “does not   
   >>>> acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this   
   >>>> infamous act.” The UN, he said, had done something shameful and obscene.   
   >>>> It had given “the appearance of international sanction” to the   
   >>>> “abomination of antisemitism.” Moynihan foresaw that “the terrible   
   lie   
   >>>> that has been told here today will have terrible consequences.”   
   >>>> It was with prophetic accuracy that he warned: “A great evil has been   
   >>>> loosed upon the world.” Nearly half a century later, the effects of that   
   >>>> evil are ubiquitous. Around the world Jews are again the object of   
   >>>> savagery and hate, threatened and demonized and attacked as they haven’t   
   >>>> been since the 1930s, hunted in the streets of cities that take pride in   
   >>>> being enlightened. What happened in Amsterdam was no anomaly. Pogroms   
   >>>> are coming back.
