Antisemitism did not end with WWII, and it's seen a fresh resurgence in recent years. While some might have you believe that talk of antisemitism is merely a ploy on the part of Jews to divert attention or curry some advantage, the threat it poses cannot be ignored.

In an age of rogue nations armed with WMD, a worldwide Islamic jihad and the resurgence of various hard-left and hard-right militias, how long before someone will successfully enact Hitler's 'final solution'?

This video is dedicated to the men and women of the Israeli Defense Forces.

This claim, while widely circulated, is rarely ever seriously examined. This film attempts to demonstrate that Islam is an expansionary ideology that seeks the subjugation-- or even the complete elimination-- of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government. Is this point of view correct? Watch the film-- and decide for yourself! Run time: 98 minutes. (For a very different point of view, See "Obsession, the Video", also listed on this page)

Jihad in Academia (V) — "The Muslim Student Association brought the jihad into the heart of American higher education and established a base among America's youth. Founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Student Association, or MSA, now has chapters on nearly 150 college campuses across North America.

The Muslim Student Association postures as a religious and cultural organization. This pretense helps in its successful effort to intimidate student governments and university administrators into funding its activities. In reality, the MSA is a radical political force -- a fifth column telling students that America is an imperialist power and Israel an oppressor nation. Its speakers spew anti-Semitic libels and justify the genocide against the Jews being promoted by Islamic terrorist organizations such as Hizbollah and Hamas, and the government of Iran".

Jihad: The Children's Club (V)A compilation of clips from official PA ("Palestinian" Authority") TV. The main focus is around a children's television program in which the youngsters are encouraged to take up arms for the Islamic holy war against the non-believers.

Muslim Black slavery - Islam slave history of Black Africa (V) — "When doing research on African slavery I came across this video and was surprised about the slave trade in the Middle East, especially around North Africa. This explains the current genocide that is going on in Darfur and the Sudan. I could see the link with the past that this has been going on for 14 centuries. This person wrote this book about slavery in Islamic states. John Alembillah Alembillah Azumah The book is called Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-Religious Dialogue. This book reveals the dark secret of Islam and slavery of black people in Africa and the history of how Arab Muslims went to war on and captured black men, women and children and turned them into slaves. While slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west, it has lasted 14 centuries in the Middle East and exists today in many Muslim countries..."

Obsession, the Video (V) — One of the better movies about the threat of radical Islam. The site has trailers, suggestions for taking action, plus other information— and you can order DVDs of the movie ($14.95): "Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real. A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned." Run time: 77 minutes. (For a very different point of view, see "Islam: What the West Needs to Know", also on this page)

Operation Cast Lead (Background): The Root Causes Of the Gaza War in Less Than 6 Minutes (V)"Forget everything the mainstream media tells you about the "cycle of violence" and the "peace process." The conflict in the Middle East boils down to one issue; the imposition of Islam upon the world. Hamas, as a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, is perfectly open about its desire for a global Islamic caliphate. Such an enemy by definition can never be appeased, and must be destroyed". (Excellent video. Not only about Operation Cast Lead but also about the history & goals of Hamas).

Viewers will hear how once undertaken, military activity was carried out according to the strictest moral code, a code that governed our soldier's every move; who endangered themselves in order to preserve civilian life inside Gaza. All interviews are unscripted.

PBS Banned Video: “Islam vs, Islamists” (V) — Many people question why more moderate Muslims don’t speak out against extremism. This film tells of Dr. Zudhi Jasser, a moderate Muslim who has been speaking out– and the strong opposition he faced from Islamists in his community. (Some of whom openly state that they feel that America should be governed by Shariah- Islamic religious law). When he decided to organize a rally against terrorism, he was met with opposition from the local Islamists. Originally this video was to be aired on PBS– but they decided not to show it. (Dr Jasser has stated that he feels that he can practice his faith more freely in this country than anywhere else in the world– which seems to be the reason why he is opposing the Islamist’s goals with such vigour). See also the related video, above: “Filmmakers’ Struggle to Air ‘Islam vs Islamists’”.

Filmmaker Pierre Rehov examines the phenomenon of suicide bombers through rare and never-before-seen interviews with actual family members of terrorists, the prisoners whose bombing attempts have been thwarted, and exclusive footage of a terror bomber as he prepares for mission! This film provides a message of urgency for increasing our understanding of the psychopathological dynamics of these terrorist bombers. We finally gain insight to how these human bombs 'tick'." (80 minutes)

Submission (V) — Written by an ex-muslim (Ayaan Hirsi Ali) and directed by Theo Van Gogh. Islamic extremists believe those that "insult" islam must die, so van Gogh was shot and stabbed.

The Terrorist Mindset (V) Walid Shoebat and two other reformed terrorists interviewed. (15 minutes)

Then & Now, Part II (V)"Child abuse in the shadow of radical Islam: We investigate the systematic indoctrination and militarisation of youth in 1930's Nazi Germany and in Middle Eastern countries today. We see disturbing parallels of an entire generation being ideologically prepared for total war. Violence and martyrdom are glorified as the noblest ideals. The innocence of youth is robbed by political leaders seeking to incite hatred for political purposes. This is the worst form of child abuse."

The War on Britains Jews (Part 1 of 6) (V): UK Channel 4 has British journalist Richard Littlejohn shows how British Jews face increased verbal and physical attacks on their streets and desecration of their graves. In north Manchester, Orthodox Jews need a police escort to get safely to synagogue on the Sabbath and a Jewish school has been forced to install bomb-proof windows.

However, this street-level bullying is only half the story. Littlejohn argues that Jews have also become fair game for the liberal Left. In these circles, disproportionate criticism of Israel's actions against Palestinians is beginning to spill over into anti-semitism, as Observer columnist Nick Cohen argues on the show. This insidious, dinner party bigotry is the real story here and sees Littlejohn in familiar territory, having a pop at the 'Guardianistas'. The War on Britain's Jews, continued: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6.
