Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Avner Boskey has a powerful, Scripturally based view of the increased anti-Semitism and horrific violence now flooding our news. Here below is his excellent article, parts of which are placed in bold; please join me in the prayers he shares and in supporting his vital ministry, Final Frontier Ministries:
A generation that did not know Joseph
On Sunday June 1, 2025 in Boulder, Colorado, a 45-year old Egyptian, Mohamed Sabry Soliman (illegally overstaying a US work visa since February 2023) violently attacked a peaceful walking group near the Pearl Street Mall. That weekly walking group, Run for Their Lives, “is an apolitical global organization with the sole mission of walking peacefully to raise awareness for the 58 hostages still held in captivity by Hamas in Gaza.”.
Mohamed set eight of the walkers on fire with an improvised flamethrower, also throwing Molotov cocktails at them. This happened only a few hours before the Jewish holy day of Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks (known among Christians as the Feast of Pentecost). After attacking the walking group, Mohamed Soliman yelled “Palestine is free!”, “You are killers; how many children have you killed?” and “We have to end Zionists, they are killers!”
Boulder police reported that eight people were burned, with CNN reporting that the victims are aged between 52 and 88. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said that “at least one was very seriously injured, probably safe to say, [in] critical condition.” One of the victims was an 88-year-old holocaust survivor who fled Nazi persecution in Europe. An eyewitness said that one woman was so badly burned that her hair caught fire. Another eyewitness told CNN she saw people strip and roll on the ground to put the fire out. Walla reported that children were among those injured.
This attack comes less than two weeks after the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffersattending an American Jewish Committee event at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington. At that terror attack, the Marxist-Leninist shooter yelled “Free, free Palestine” and “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” shortly after murdering the young Messianic Jewish couple.
In April of this year, during the first night of Passover, an arsonist tried to burn down Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence, citing the governor’s support for Israel as his motive.

In response to the jihadi attack in Boulder, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said that terrorism against Jews “does not stop at the Gaza border – it is already burning the streets of America. Today, in Boulder, Colorado, Jewish people marched with a moral and humane demand: to return the hostages. In response, the Jewish protesters were brutally attacked, with an attacker throwing a Molotov cocktails at them. Make no mistake – this is not a political protest, this is terrorism.”
-
Mark Dubowitz, CEO of Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, tweeted: “600+ days of ‘pro-Palestinian’ protests in the U.S. have morphed into violent, antisemitic, pro-Hamas terrorism.”
-
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt posted: “This is the second violent attack on the US Jewish community in two weeks . . . Two peaceful Jewish events that ended with rage-filled, violent attacks. And the issue isn’t confined to the US. We’re witnessing a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people. In the past few days, Jewish youth in London were assaulted. Public spaces in Brisbane were defaced with antisemitic graffiti. Synagogues, a Holocaust memorial and a kosher restaurant in Paris were vandalized. Sadly, none of this is surprising. In fact, it’s entirely predictable. This is precisely where anti-Jewish incitement leads. This is exactly what vicious anti-Zionism enables. Elected officials, community groups, media platforms, faith leaders — they all need to commit to taking action before this crisis escalates even further. Stop excusing antisemitic rhetoric. Stop platforming anti-Zionist hate. Stop equivocating when Jews are attacked. Stand with your Jewish friends and neighbors… …before things get even worse.”
-
Ronald Lauder, President of the World Jewish Congress, said that “the firebombing of a peaceful march in Boulder, Colorado – organized to demand the release of hostages held by Hamas – is horrifying, but it should not come as a surprise. Since Oct. 7, we have been warning that antisemitism is not isolated to the margins. Supporters of Hamas are now emboldened and threatening towns and cities across America and the democratic world. This attack, like the murders outside the Jewish museum in Washington, is part of a broader wave of hate that is being tolerated far too easily—from college campuses to government halls. It is not just the Jewish community that suffers. This violence tears at the very fabric of our societies.”
Jihadi terror has landed on American shores and has dug in for the long haul. Time to connect the dots.
The Passover story of the Exodus from Egypt begins with a key verse: “Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph” (Exodus 1:8). Seventy years ago, murderous anti-Jewish attacks like the ones described above would have been unthinkable in the USA. Today they are commonplace in the daily news, especially after Hamas’ terror pogrom directed against Israeli farms and kibbutzim on October 7, 2023 (which was carried out on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah). How has the spiritual climate change so drastically? How has the epidemic of anti-Semitism spread so quickly across the fruited plain of America the Beautiful? How have so many Americans forgotten Joseph – the Jewish people?
A trail of jihadi breadcrumbs
World leaders are, for the most part, not basing in their politics on the Bible. They are casual and cynical about what the Scriptures say – and especially regarding the Jewish people’s calling, prophetic destiny and their restoration to the Promised Land. These politicians are ignorant of the dynamics and dangers that jihad poses to the sons and daughters of Jacob, to the Western world, and especially to America (what jihadis call ‘the Great Satan’). The cold-hearted attacks issuing from the mouths and pens of their spokesmen – be it Thomas Friedman of the New York Times or anti-Semitic commentator Candace Owen – bristle with animosity and barely concealed hatred for the Jewish people, their leaders and the restoration to their homeland:
- “This ultranationalist, messianic Israeli government is not America’s ally. Because this is the first government in Israel’s history whose priority is not peace with more of its Arab neighbors and the benefits that greater security and coexistence would bring. Its priority is the annexation of the West Bank, the expulsion of the Palestinians of Gaza and the re-establishment there of Israeli settlements.”
Whereas the God of Israel originally raised up America to bless, protect and stand with Israel according to Genesis 12:3 (ESV), instead we are witnessing the growth of significant stream of US conservatives who despise and deride both the Jewish people and their reborn state of Israel. Such voices include Tucker Carlson (here, here, here and here), Candace Owen (here, here, here and here) and others. Their anti-Jewish vitriol and anti-Israeli venom have helped catalyze and strengthen the classical anti-Semitic tropes supported by Qatar, through their significant funding of US campus takeovers and street riots throughout America. The clear goal here is to undercut American support for both the Jewish people and the Jewish state.
- The effects of wildcat anti-Jewish propaganda in US educational institutions, media and political narratives have raised the water level of popular hatred of the Jewish people; the results are seen in lone wolf attacks (Like Boulder and Washington D.C.) as well as in mass riots and anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist demonstrations.
There is an iron-clad connection between anti-Jewish words and propaganda, and anti-Jewish physical attacks and murder. The toleration of jihad and jihadis coupled with an abandonment of Biblical philo-Semitism has led to the spiritual crumbling of Western society, daylight between the US and Israel (especially during former administrations) and ‘hernia time’ for those who have become enemies of God’s chosen people:
-
“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes staggering to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. It will come about on that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will injure themselves severely. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it” (Zechariah 12:2-3)
A new generation which supports Hamas
Recent polls in the USA show a sobering shift by younger American voters toward adopting anti-Israel jihadi perspectives and supporting Hamas’ terror campaign against the Jews.
In the December 2023 monthly Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, 51% in the 18-24 age group replied in the affirmative when asked if Israel should be “ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.” In that same 18-24 age group, 66% of respondents think that Hamas’s October 7 massacre constituted genocide. At the same time, 60% think that the attacks were justified by Palestinian grievances, indicating that they believe that genocide of Israelis is justified. The polls revealed that 60% of 18- to 24-year-olds favor an unconditional deal that would leave things as they are (no release of Israeli hostages and Hamas still in power). According to the poll, 53% of the 18-24 age group think that students should be free to call for Jewish genocide on campus without punishment, though 70% also added that such calls constitute hate speech. These polls also reveal that anti-Israel positions of the youngest age group are significantly higher among Democrats than among Republican voters.
Radical Islamic strategies targeting the West for the most part have not been identified, unmasked and eliminated. Using an old proverb mistakenly attributed to Mark Twain, Peter Senge notes: “Like the frog that will sit in a pot of water and let itself be slowly boiled to death, we are very good at reacting to immediate danger to our survival, but we are very poor at recognizing gradual threats.” (Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline, Currency and Doubleday, New York, 1990).
Buying into the enemies of God
Three clear goals of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Qatar, Turkey and the PLO are also trumpeted by most of the nations at the UN:
- Israeli retreat/disengagement from Gaza and the West Bank
- No more Jewish construction of settlements in Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan or East Jerusalem
- The setting up of a jihadi state in all areas Israel is forced to abandon
These goals are championed by ‘woke’ rioters and lone-wolf murderers throughout the USA.
Here is YHVH’s response to these plots, as sketched out in Psalm 83:1-8. At present, most of the countries listed (Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq) – a prophetic roster indeed – are involved in jihadi attacks on Israel as described in this passage. The rioters of Columbia, Harvard and Wellesley have joined themselves at the hip with these nations – which YHVH describes as “His enemies.” Apart from deep repentance, their portion will be the same as the portion of these nations:
- God, do not remain quiet! Do not be silent and, God, do not be still. For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, and those who hate You have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Your people, and conspire together against Your treasured ones. They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation, so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.” For they have conspired together with one mind! They make a covenant against You: the tents of Edom [southern Jordan] and the Ishmaelites [the Arabian peninsula], Moab [central Jordan] and the Hagrites [Egyptian Sinai]; Gebal [Lebanon], Ammon [northern Jordan], and Amalek [Sinai], Philistia [Gaza] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Lebanon]; Assyria [northern Iraq] also has joined them; They have become a help to the children of Lot [Jordan]. Selah!
Five years is a long time
The ‘George Floyd’ street riots which broke out across America in May and June 2020 were quickly commandeered by a pre-existing Marxist revolutionary group, BlackLivesMatter (BLM) created in 2013 by Opal Tometi, Patrisse Cullors, and Alicia Garza – three ‘queer’ Black activists. Apart from catalyzing and exacerbating mass disturbance and physical destruction across America, BLM helped to seed and reinforce some toxic myths in America’s media and public consciousness: critical race theory, intersectionality, and settler colonialism. They proclaimed a neo-Marxist ‘truth’: that the USA is beset not as much by a class war but by a race war; that there are two immutable groups of color, and that there will be a clash with the ‘white oppressors’ forever. No dissent to these ‘revolutionary truths’ will be tolerated, and ultimately US society must be dominated by BLM’s perspective.
Recent Qatari and Hamas-based propaganda have subtly tweaked these ‘revolutionary’ principles. The pro-Hamas campus and street rioters basically hold to the following metamorphoses:
- The Jews are also ‘white oppressors.’ They are perpetrators and abettors of genocide. They have forfeited their humanity.
- Israel is a manifestation of racism and colonialism. They are oppressors against people of color
- Israel is guilty of horrible crimes and they must be punished.
- All political discourse about Israel must be racialized.
-
The movement calls for genocide (“From the River to the Sea” – a judenrein (Jew-free) land) and jihadi terrorism (“Globalize the Intifada” and “Free Palestine”)
Anti-Semitism is not an accident
A rabbi once said: ‘To deceive other people is a terrible thing, but to deceive oneself is a crime.’ The time has come for the Jewish people and those who love them to face the music, even if its tones are jarring. Anti-Semitism is not an accident. It is crafted by Satan, and it will be broken by the God of Israel. We will live to see that happen.
At the end of the age, when the Jewish people realize that all other possibilities of achieving godly government and holy worship in our own strength are exhausted, we will turn back to the Messianic Davidic dynasty, and will come with trembling repentance to YHVH our God: “Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek YHVH their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to YHVH and to His goodness in the last days” (Hosea 3:5).
What is happening right now in Israel is a moving into the latter part of this process. The Jewish people’s faith in the wisdom, courage, strength and honesty of their leaders is being severely shaken. This hurts, and it causes a sense of no direction, no purpose and no vision. As Proverbs 29:18 says, “Without a prophetic vision, the people mourn as if at the approaching of death” (the Hebrew sense of the words).
But according to Hosea, this process is about to morph into the spiritual return of Israel to their God and their Davidic monarchy. Pray for the people of Israel, that God would turn our hearts back to Him. Pray that we would seek Him and Yeshua His Messiah, turning away from any arm of flesh – any dependence on any other country, including our own – and back to full dependence on YHVH alone.
How shall we then pray?
- Pray to the God of Israel that anti-Semitism’s lies and malice will be utterly broken.
- Pray that we will have the courage to expose this new virulent mutation of anti-Semitism
- Pray that we will have the strength to speak up and refute anti-Semitic teachings, actions and attacks as these happen
- Pray for believers to develop networks of underground railroads to help Jews find refuge as they return to Israel
-
There are approximately 20 living Israeli hostages remaining, kidnapped by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Hamas is also holding on to approximately 70 Israeli corpses as cold storage bargaining chips. Pray for the speedy release of all the hostages, and for YHVH’s justice to be brought on the heads of the Islamist kidnappers
- Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth
Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.
In Messiah Yeshua,
