Breaking: The Norwegian Palestine Committee — and several other organisations — chose to desecrate the memory of Kristallnacht by turning its commemoration into yet another anti-Israel rally. The event was attended by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. According to Norwegian press reports, a man commemorating Kristallnacht was assaulted tonight — kicked and punched — simply for carrying an Israeli flag. These developments are deeply alarming. A day meant to honour the victims of Nazi persecution has been hijacked by those who echo the same hatred it was meant to condemn.

There was no genocide in Gaza. There is a genocide in Nigeria. The people of Gaza weren’t killed for who they are; they died because Hamas, after massacring 1,200 Jewish people, hid behind them. It was Israel’s moral obligation to eliminate Hamas once and for all. Christians in Nigeria, on the other hand, are being killed for who they are, not because of anything they did.

Wann tritt die @ZDF- Führungsriege zurück? Die #Hamas-Connection des ZDF: Partnerfirma in Gaza sponserte eine Konferenz mit Hamas-Führern und iranischen Propagandasendern! nzz.ch/feuilleton/die-hamas-…

Ei ei ei , Freunde. Ihr habt die „Reichskristallnacht“ vergessen. Wisst Ihr noch? Als die Nazis Pogrome gegen Juden organisierten? Was seid Ihr auch für Minuskumpel. Einfach vergessen zu erwähnen, welch Großtaten die eigenen Idole aus glorreicher Vergangenheit vollbrachten. 🫡

Am 9. November ein solcher Tweet über @igorpianist. Es ist einfach nur widerlich.

Nov 6, 2025. Paris. Philharmonie. Terrorists came with smoke bombs and flares. To drown out violins. To choke the sound of Jews playing music. When the Israel Philharmonic took the stage, they tried to smoke them out. Three times. The hall filled with fire and smoke. But the music wouldn’t die. The musicians returned. They lifted their instruments. And played Hatikva. 🇮🇱 Am Yisrael Chai. The people of Israel live. Forever.

Eighty-seven years ago today the world watched as Jewish homes, shops and synagogues were burnt across Germany and Austria. Windows were smashed, Torah scrolls set alight, hundreds of synagogues destroyed, 91 Jews murdered and tens of thousands imprisoned. Families who had considered themselves part of the fabric of European life were humiliated and beaten in the streets. It became known as Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. It was not yet the Holocaust, but it was the moment the unthinkable began to feel possible. Years of boycotts, hatred, caricatures and conspiracy had prepared the ground for what many see as the beginning of the long, twisted road that led to the Holocaust. When the attacks came, neighbours turned away, pretending not to see what was happening to their friends and those they had lived alongside for generations. Many look back today and ask: how could the Holocaust have happened in what was one of the most civilised societies in the world? Kristallnacht offers an uncomfortable answer. It happens when words of hate are tolerated, when lies are given a platform and when silence becomes easier than speaking out. By the time the glass breaks, the silence has already done its work. It is already too late. And that sounds all too familiar to us today across the West, in Europe and here in Britain. My great-grandmother Lily Ebert, a survivor of Auschwitz, used to remind schoolchildren that the Holocaust didn’t start with the gas chambers. “It started with words,” she said. “With small acts of hatred that people ignored.” She survived the concentration camp, built a new life in London and spent decades teaching others where hatred leads when it goes unchallenged. She used to say that it didn’t matter what religion, race, or ethnicity we were “when you cut us, it hurts, and we all bleed the same colour: red”. Today, nearly nine decades after Kristallnacht, her warning feels painfully alive and her message too often ignored. Across Europe, and even here in Britain, Jewish schools and synagogues are protected by police and security, and stand behind security fences with barbed wire. Jewish students are harassed on university campuses, shouted down and told that their pain is “political”. On social media, antisemitic conspiracies spread faster than truth. Our NHS has doctors who share antisemitic posts, our arts world has pushed Jews to the margins and some parliamentarians even use their privileged positions to launder ideas about Jews that once belonged on the fringes: that Jewish safety is conditional; that Jews are legitimate targets; that Britain belongs more to the mob than to the law. Hate doesn’t disappear - it merely changes its face. The liberation of Auschwitz in 1945 did not mark the end of the hatred that led to it. What once came from the far right is now found on parts of the far left, who have jumped into bed with Islamist extremists. What once hid behind swastikas now hides behind slogans of “resistance”. Each generation finds new excuses for the same old hatred. And yet, despite everything, there is hope. After all she endured my great-grandmother refused to lose faith in people. That was her defiance - not revenge or bitterness, but life itself. And I, too, still believe in the British people: in their decency, in their courage to say enough is enough, and to stand with their Jewish neighbours and colleagues against this resurgence of the world’s oldest hatred. In the silent majority that we, the Jewish community, are always told stands with us, I still have faith. Remembering Kristallnacht is not only about the past. It is about refusing to repeat its patterns in our own time. Eighty-seven years ago, hundreds of synagogues burnt. Yet the Jewish people endured. Our task is not just to remember the glass that shattered - but to make sure the silence that allowed it never returns.

Palestinian propaganda is using Christian religious imagery, from the Madonna and Child to David and Goliath, to win Western sympathy. In conversation with Prof Miri Rubin I expose how centuries of faith have been turned into modern political theatre. piped.video/vhj5hFlMo9M

« La Nuit de cristal » - Kristallnacht, il y a 87 ans, jour pour jour. Des maisons, des synagogues et des commerces appartenant à des Juifs ont été détruits dans toute l’Allemagne et l’Autriche. C’est ainsi que tout a commencé. Aujourd’hui, les Juifs du monde entier font à nouveau face aux menaces et aux attaques, simplement parce qu’ils sont Juifs. Nous avons déjà connu les ténèbres. Nous n’y retournerons jamais. Cette fois, nous avons une patrie souveraine, une voix qui ne se taira plus. 🇮🇱

Dass dieser Clown dafür in der Linken nicht gecancelt wird zeigt wie viel Empathie für Juden in der Linken herrscht, nämlich gar keine

Realitätsverweigerer wie du scheinen den Kopf im Sand stecken zu haben. Ein Glück hast du nichts zu melden. Das einzige was du kannst ist hier deine antisemitische Hamas-Terror-Unterstützer-Bubble füttern. Erbärmlich.

Below is a Nazi flier distributed in Britain in the early 1960s. Notice the accusations in the flier: ▶️ "Jewish atrocities in Palestine go unpunished" ▶️ "Israel plans further aggression in the Middle East" ▶️ "Everywhere Jewish power increases." Replace "Jewish" with "Zionist" and the same Nazi propaganda is in pamphlets, placards, and graffiti by "antizionist" protesters in 2025. As George Santayana rightly observed: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

"...demonstrations against the Jews are to be expected in all parts of the Reich in the course of the coming night, November 9/10, 1938." Read Reinhard Heydrich's chilling instructions for dealing with the events of the #Kristallnacht pogrom: ow.ly/avcK50Q5rcz

I don’t remember a European leader engaging in Holocaust denigration as Norwegian PM @jonasgahrstore did this afternoon. He misused the anniversary of the November Pogrom (“Kristalnacht”) to partner with those that seek to leave the Jewish People stateless and defenseless again.

Seit Jahren wird Antisemitismus bei extrem Rechten und auch Linken enttabuisiert. Zum latenten Antisemitismus kommt der von einigen Migranten dazu. Auch damals begann es mit Worten, aber endete im größten Verbrechen der Menschheit. Die Pogromnacht 1938 darf nie vergessen werden

Norway used Kristallnacht to go after Israel jns.org/norways-kristallnach…

Utter shame on Norway! This was unconscionable and inexcusable. It was so grave that even @AmbDaniDayan, Chairman of Yad Vashem, went to such extraordinary lengths to call it out! @jonasgahrstore @EspenBarthEide @NorwayinIsrael

התרעתי בפני משטרת הגבולות, משרד החוץ ורשות האוכלוסין על הימצאותה של חברת הפרלמנט האנטישמית, מאנון אוברי, בראמאללה. ברגע שכף רגלה תנחת במעבר גבול, תיעצר ותגורש מיד. תיהני מהרגעים האחרונים שלך בארצנו היפה. לא נאפשר למפיצת עלילות דם ושנאה לדרוך על אדמת ישראל!

Die Tatsache, dass ein selbstherrliches Jüngelchen mit „linkem“ Chic in einem Post Antisemitismus fröhliche Urständ feiern lassen kann und als „lahme Pointe“ verharmlost, zeigt, dass Antisemitismus in Deutschland nie wirklich bildungspolitisch aufgearbeitet und überwunden wurde.

"Es war nicht eine kleine Zahl von Verbrechern, es waren Hunderttausende einer sogenannten deutschen Elite, Männer, Jungen und entmenschte Weiber, die unter dem Einfluss verrückter Lehren in kranker Lust diese Taten begangen haben." So Thomas Mann zur Reichspogromnacht
