The Canary In The Coal Mine

Someone much wiser than I once made the comment that the way the Jews of the world are treated is the ‘canary in the coal mine’ of the state of humanity.  There is a lot going on right now that makes me fear for the safety of the canary.  There has been a rise in anti-Semitism in Europe over the past five years, there has been a rewriting of history in terms of the nation of Israel–the Jews are not occupiers–the land was given to them in 1948.  And now, there has been a large part of the Mumbai terrorism story untold.

According to Power Line Blog one of the targets of the terrorists was the Chabad House.  All hostages in the Chabad House were killed by the terrorists.  British and Americans were targets at the hotels attacked, but the Chabad House was attacked because it was a Jewish target and all hostages inside were killed.  Please read the article at Power Line for the rest of the story.
