“DHS Awards $94 Million in Grants to Help Protect 512 Jewish Faith-Based Organizations from Targeted Violence and Terrorism”

Definitely genuine concern about religious bigotry, for sure. Anyone playing into the “spike in antisemitism” smear is covering for Zionist genocide, intentionally or unintentionally

Following the terror attack in Boulder, CO and the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers, DHS is working to counter the concern rise in antisemitic violence and terrorism

WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced it is awarding $94,416,838 to over 512 Jewish faith-based organizations across the United States through its National Security Supplemental (NSGP-NSS).

This money, part of the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, will be used to help these organizations harden their defenses against attacks. This allocation comes after a terrorist attacked demonstrators with a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails at an event in support of hostages in Gaza, and after two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered in Washington, DC, by a terrorist who shouted, “Free Palestine.” In 2024, the ADL said it recorded a record high of 9,354 antisemitic incidents in the U.S., marking a 344% increase over the past five years.

“DHS is working to put a stop to the deeply disturbing rise in antisemitic attacks across the United States,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “That this money is necessary at all is tragic. Antisemitic violence has no place in this country. However, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that Jewish people in the United States can live free of the threat of violence and terrorism.”

The program, operated through FEMA, will help protect Jewish faith-based institutions from further attacks, and was advocated for by over 40 plus Jewish organizations. The funding was appropriated by Congress in response to a surge in antisemitic threats linked to the Israel Hamas war. All faith-based institutions were eligible to apply for grant funding to help defend themselves from threats including houses of worship, educational facilities, medical facilities, community centers and other faith-based institutions. More grant disbursements will follow from the NSGP

I’m shocked

If you’re wondering what the “provocations against Islamic Dawa and Muslims by Damascus’ Christians” were, it was a group kicking a dawah truck out of their neighborhood. These vehicles are, basically, giant speakers mounted on cars, vans, or trucks that spew propaganda inciting against Christians, Shia, and Alawites. These are implicitly government sanctioned and are only pushed back on by the communities they target, rather than official bodies

I believe this is the specific instance that was referenced by the group claiming the bombing. Per the caption, it was actually Muslims who initiated the confrontation with those railing against Christians

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure these weren’t commonplace (especially in Damascus) under Assad, if they existed at all. The previous government certainly wasn’t referring to terror attacks as “martyrdom operations”. Could an Arabic speaker confirm the words said match the headline?

Israeli doomers do make it funnier

“The main problem is that the Iranians are going to build a much larger missile industry... Everyone sees how large salvos work.

It's not nuclear, it's much harder to stop it without entering a war of attrition.

Ceasefire shit. They sold us out and in the future we'll be paid back with interest.“

“They're taking us back to the old days of two-week operations and then a ceasefire.”

“It has to be said, they took us for a ride.”

“””ceasefires””” and unending aerial bombardment, israel’s fav combo. Anyways nobody on either side have confirmed this so grain of 🧂. Don’t play into the Zionist psywar

Not sure if we discussed this, but a suicide bomber blew up a church in Damascus and killed a couple dozen people. I’m sure HTS is tracking down the perpetrators as we speak

Muslim Brotherhood Acting Leader Salah Abdul Haq in a message to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei:

• “Israel seeks through these strikes to retaliate against Tehran’s support for the Palestinian resistance, alongside strategic goals aimed at weakening centers of power in the region, with direct backing from the United States and other Western countries stunned by Israel’s defeat on October 7, 2023.”

• “The occupation’s fire does not discriminate between the nation’s ethnicities or sects. Expanding the aggression to include the Islamic Republic is an attempt to eliminate the resistance’s support base, whether states or movements, foremost among them the Muslim Brotherhood.”

• “Our enemy is one — the Israeli entity — and our primary weapon must be the unity of the Islamic nation.”

• “We should overcome internal differences and focus efforts on confronting the occupation.”

• “We praise the sacrifices of the nation in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran,” stressing that these sacrifices “impose on everyone a historic responsibility to strive for unity and comprehensive joint Islamic action.”

Don’t believe everything you read on Twitter and don’t use it as an excuse to doom

“Tehran denies western media reports about 'seeking mediation' to end war

Iran has targeted Israel with ballistic missiles every day since the war began, and has vowed to intensify its strikes”
