The horror of the October 7 attack on southern Israel is surpassed only by what followed on October 8: the cold indifference of most of the international community, followed by the irrational condemnation of Israel and the eruption of well-planned anti-Israeli and antisemitic demonstrations on elite university campuses and in the streets of major cities around the world.

"Pogroms" is a high-quality Oporto Jewish Community-sponsored documentary. French-Israeli documentary filmmaker Pierre Rehov. "Pogroms" captured what no other similar film has even remotely touched upon: the historical context of the attack, rooted in a culture of Jew-hatred. No other documentary has done so so genuinely. In Rehov's words, "there is a historical link between the Intifadas, the pro-Palestine movement, and the BDS campaigns. They are all part of a modern, coordinated strategy of disinformation that began in the 20th century with the alliance between Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and later extended to the clandestine KGB training of Yasser Arafat and PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas”.

For decades, foreign nations have paid enormous sums to American universities to control the way history and current affairs are presented to impressionable young students. Hence the widespread brainwashing we see in our campuses today, including support for terrorists like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

"Pogroms" captured what no other similar film has even remotely touched upon: the historical context of the attack, rooted in a culture of Jew-hatred, made possible by makeshift alliances between radical Islamists and KGB-less Soviets, all united in the eradication of what remains of the Jewish people, their culture, and their own state.

A singular inscription in the memory of the victims was inaugurated in the Jewish cemetery of the Porto Jewish Community. There are over 2,000 names displayed on a memorial in the cemetery. It's a large number. Dead, wounded, hostages, and others. There was no shortage of nationals from Portugal and many other nations. Almost none were nationals of Israel alone. Dual or triple nationality marked the nature of each. Victims of a massacre similar to those their ancestors experienced in so many different parts of the world for two thousand years, including in Lisbon. Holocaust education has failed worldwide because it has been presented as something unique and not as the sum of continuous massacres against Jews

"1506 – The Genocide of Lisbon" is another documentary of great quality, that was produced by the Porto Jewish community. It recounts a massacre against the Jews that has been forgotten in history and that is still not integrated into school curricula. For three days, between two and four thousand Jews were murdered in Lisbon. The bonfires were as high as houses, in a city full of dismembered bodies and where heads were paraded on the tips of spears. It was a time of the Black Death and so the city was unguarded in terms of security, since the king and the nobility had chosen to remain on the periphery. Ancient antisemitic myths led to disaster. All it took was a small spotlight, literally, to light the fuse that generated so much perdition. It was a popular initiative. The king severely repressed the guilty and the city itself withdrew all privileges.

May the memory of the all victims forever be a blessing to the Jewish people, and may their loved ones find comfort among the many mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and in the unity of the people of Israel.
