Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

Several data points suggesting Europe is changing its posture towards it’s immediate future

The following was compiled by reader, Johnny U with much thanks!

It seems like a nascent mass-line narrative attack is quickly taking form. A general paranoia is setting in created from multiple angles. Perhaps the jangled nerves and untethered anxiety from the last few years have created a general form of ptsd. Rogue AI agents hacking everywhere, wars, economic deterioration, Europe’s riots–general chaos is surely highly efficacious for another government move on individual sovereignty. We can be certain of one thing: those behind the plandemic learned a lot from their experiment, and they are not yet finished.

Maybe some warnings are legitimate, but don’t tell me the Russians plan to invade Europe. Why would anyone want it?

Here are a few examples of what I mean. Is it malicious fear mongering or realistic preparation? I’d bet it’s both:
Glenn Beck:

Glenn Beck is a very entertaining Casandra. But gets it right often enough to be worth at least fact checking. And no, not holding him to account much higher standard. No one gets it always right unless they are the actual conductor of future events, and even then, things don’t always happen as expected. But Beck is one of the more interesting and well reasoned of the prognosticators.

The following video is from BBC itself:

Beck’s analysis makes more sense than the BBC one for sure. Typically leftist governments consider those who stockpile to be far right wing extremist scare mongering or whatever narrative attack they need to direct attention away or towards whatever it is they make up.But if the UK, Canada or EU nations are telling people to stockpile, the only thing we could probably make money betting on, is it won’t be for whatever reason they say it is. Global Warming for sure. Beck’s analysis that Europe has cut its own throat by destroying its own energy production is for sure the better reason. He should have added destroyed its own food production as Canada has done. If anyone needs a reminder of how, this interview we did with a Canadian farmer protesting the “Carbon tax” a few years ago should help explain it.

Some self appointed pundit using public source like FOX News

Some of these directives though, sound like they should be situ-normal. ALL of the West should probably have those new mini-nuclear reactors. The Egg and so on. But what is this, an issue with AI attacks? That would make some sense. My own network has told me about major hacks written by AI under prompt that require massive team effort by human code people to mitigate, protect against or otherwise fix that would otherwise result in a crisis of one kind or another. Either way centralized power is a bad idea. Ask anyone from the former Soviet Union.

Some flash cards on the state of a number of Western countries: Links 1 for Oct. 26, 2026

1. Giorgia Meloni attempts to get in front of the narrative with post hoc action and of course, increased power of the state. If she wasn’t messing around, and has “had enough” as the video claims, she would have stopped importing the problem and letting the Italian Criminal Justice system let them get away with major crimes when she got in power. She would have closed the border to illegal migration and then repatriated those who got their illegally starting with the criminals and vagrants and looked at any who might have actually integrated later on. She could have used the existing tools of the state to fix the problem years ago. This is nonsense. It is very much like the Austrian Economist, Hayek explains in his Road to Serfdom. Everyone cheers on a hero that solves a giant problem, even when that solution is an authoritarian state, and even when the state itself freaking caused that problem.

Le Pen is no better since she recently came out and explained that Islam is a part of France and has a place there. So much for Laïcité. Or France for that matter.

2. Speaking of France and Italy, Spain, UK and USA, The Netherlands…. did I miss anywhere?

Oh yeah, Nigeria…

And Scotland…

We did say France, right?

 

3. This woman pretty much nails it. For those that still tranquilize themselves with narratives about Islam, pay attention or one day you will wish you had.

4. Britain’s Sharia court rulings on infidel rapes by Muslims

THIS WAS OUR BERLIN MOMENT

THE BC PROVINCIAL ELECTION OF 2026

This is a guest post by BC author, Tim Murray with thanks!

Screenshot

Above: On November 10th of 1989 East and West Berliners picked up hammers and chisels to tear down the symbol of Communist tyranny and failed  socialist economics.  After Ronald Reagan famously implored “Mr. Gorbachev” to “take down that wall”, impatient  Berliners decided to do it themselves. It had  divided them for 28 years and they were tired of waiting for divine intervention.  Well British Columbians grew  tired of waiting too. They seized the opportunity that a cynical opportunist afforded them by calling an unnecessary snap election and they took a wrecking ball to an incorrigibly doctrinaire regime  intent on doubling down on its  disastrous policies.

Arguably the most incompetent and tyrannical government in Canadian history was toppled by BC voters on October 24th 2026 . I was one of them. Now I know how Berliners felt 37 years ago when they used sledgehammers to break down the wall. It is the same feeling that American marines and sailors felt when they saw the stars and stripes appear on the top of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. The same feeling I had when I saw TV images of the Freedom Convoy pass by ordinary Canadians of all hues who braved freezing temperatures to cheer them on, some hanging maple leaf flags from highway overpasses.

These are the moments and images that one never forgets.

You hold onto them because they remind you that when things look hopeless and you are on the brink of giving up on the human race, there are people out there who think independently and have not succumbed to scaremongering, indoctrination and mass psychosis. These brave hearts are not content to be passive bystanders. They are prepared to act on their beliefs and push back in the face of intimidation and vilification. On October 24th B.C. voters used the ballot box to do the pushing.

History informs me that it is unwise to invest all of your hopes in politicians or believe that a new government will solve all of the problems that a defeated one left us. For most of us, this was not so much a vote for the opposition party but a renunciation of a manifestly bad one. As Churchill observed, if there is not a political party worth voting for, there is always one worth voting against. And David Eby gave us so much to vote against: Historically unprecedented debt and deficit levels, rising debt servicing costs that exceed the costs of all but two ministries, secret treaties with aboriginal tribes that threaten property rights, harm reduction policies that fueled an opioid crisis, ideologically driven education policies that are more concerned with allowing children to transition than to learn how to read and write, human rights tribunals that resemble kangaroo courts which make outrageous rulings, a strangulating bureaucracy that crushed free enterprise, the obstruction of Alberta’s exports of oil and natural gas and all the insanity financed with ever rising taxes….the list goes on.

On October 24th the majority of BC voters decided to flush the toilet. Done.

5 items and an explanation of how this site views events: Links post 1 for Oct. 24, 2026

Posted on by — 9 Comments ↓

1. Pretty much all Western nations, and this includes the United States depending on where exactly, is at one or another stage of the following process. The disassembly of rule of law, and its replacement with a dialectically driven state. And by rule of law, I mean fundamentals. Like equality before the law. And while that was never fully achieved, it was to the extent that most people enjoyed the fruition of their efforts and a reasonable expectation of justice for wrongs committed against them, even by the state. That individuals had rights that would stand up in court, and mostly, (and many highly sleepy people and even lawyers still believe this one) “The truth is always an absolute defence”. I remember a lawyer I knew insisting that was still the case in 2023 after 3 years of people being persecuted and prosecuted for telling the truth about Covid, the vaccines or the origins of the virus.

By a dialectical state, I mean one driven by state created narratives, hammered down to the public via Maoist mass lines, each one of which was made for the same purpose. To convince people to sacrifice their individual rights and move political power upwards to an increasingly distant and unaccountable state. And increasingly, that the only real crime is opposing a state narrative. Especially with facts and evidence, and exponentially so from a position of recognized authority. Like a doctor, lawyer, politician, or influential social media person.

Initially, Cancel culture was used as the defacto punishment. Professional bodies like colleges of physicians were used to destroy someone who dared suggest the state narrative was inaccurate or dangerous to the public. People would be accused of being racist or some other term which made them untouchable in their social and professional circles. This did not need to be something that saw the inside of a court. Like Islamic accusations of blasphemy, the entire process takes place via mob mentality. The truth of the claim has the opposite of importance, and the procedure for determining guilt is the accusation alone. It would attach a smell to the person that others could not afford to have in their orbit. Racism being one of the prime examples, even when it is used ludicrously far from its proper meaning. Like Islamophobia for dislike or opposition to a voluntary belief system, or homophobia, being opposition to special status for people who prefer some sexual practices over others. (I’ll accept some latitude in the definition of the latter. There will be objections and some of them are valid)

Slowly this process worked its way up the chain from defacto to de Jure. Arguably, but I would easily accept correction on this, it became a matter of law and courts when people started to broadcast the obvious facts around the jihad attack of many young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party. The narrative was it was an English Choir boy, while in reality it was a Muslim jihadi with a room full of Islamic State propaganda. People who pointed out the actual nature of the crime fit jihad perfectly rather than the typical behaviour of a Catholic or CoE Choir boy, were arrested and jailed. Sometimes for over a year. And that looked like the shift from a cancel culture off-the-record enforcement of state narrative, to one where the organs of state began to enforce them officially.

Canada has passed the legislation to do this. However its enforcement is nascent. We saw a leading edge example of this when police visited Tanya Gaw over a social media post in British Columbia this spring.

Being as generous as I can to the state, the police somewhat apologetically explained that they had a complaint and so they had to investigate. Sounds reasonable on the surface. But if I make a complaint to the police that my neighbour is enjoying the sunshine in her back yard, there would be no investigation unless there is some law saying you cannot enjoy the sunshine in your back yard.

(Mind you as I typed that last bit I had to stop and struggle to find a ludicrous example, as every one I thought of is probably illegal in some way. Even that one if the back yard person isn’t dressed appropriately etc etc.)

Canada has passed several laws that make counter narrative opinions illegal and are planning more. Bill C4 that criminalizes parents, fines and potentially jails them, and removes their children if they try and suggest they should not be spayed and neutered in the name of “trans-affirming-Care” till they are old enough to buy cigarettes is such a large example most don’t believe it even if you show it to them in black and white. Several people have suggested Climate Denialism and mass Indian graves at residential school denialism should be a criminal offence. And already people are being defacto punished for it with the same above mentioned methods. Loss of professional standing etc. Being reviled by legacy enemy propaganda media and so on. Probably we can blame that on the criminalization of Holocaust denialism. All efforts to do that typically just create the Streisand effect but hand the state the power to determine what can be said. And that itself is a crime against humanity. People will believe what they want about historical events. Legislating what they have to believe wont change that, but will create tyranny.

And it is with this in mind that one should read this site and look at these events. We are not looking for rage bait. We think that is counter productive for reasons stated at the end of this post.

We are looking for data and a model which we can use to understand what is happening to us, and to stop it, and reverse it. And if not reverse it, move forward to a new truth-based individualist society with equal opportunity and inequality of result. Because at the end of the day, being the author of one’s own story is the greatest freedom man has ever known. And because what constitutes inequality of result rests more on the tool you use to measure it, than the actual value of the result. As free people, we value different things, and pursue different things. And to force all of humanity to value the same thing the same way is tyranny. Communism and Islam are perfect examples.

2. For those of you who like this site and feel it has something to offer you, please consider subscribing to Daniel Greenfield’s site. He has been a purveyor of insight and reason on Islam and the left for many a year. In this article he explains why the ‘Palestinian’ flag is being used to trash every Western country, beyond the totem value of a phoney cause to justify communist and Islamic revolution. Like trashing an art gallery cause Global Warming when the real purpose was trashing the art gallery.

Why do the rioters trashing Paris wave the ‘Palestinian’ flag? Because to them, France is Israel and they’re the ‘Palestinians’ out to destroy it and replace it with their own terrorist state.

The ‘white’ in the ‘Palestinian’ flag represents the Umayyad caliphate which had once invaded France, conquered Narbonne, and genocided its Christian population, until it was thrown back by indigenous Christian resistance at the Battle of Toulouse and the Battle of Tours.

The past Islamic conquest of France is just one of the symbols in the ‘Palestinian’ flag.

The ubiquitous presence of the ‘Palestinian’ flag at riots from New York City to Milan isn’t an expression of solidarity: it’s a statement of genocidal intent for every country where it’s flown. Its colors represent the historic Islamic caliphates which once ethnically cleansed the Middle East.

Every place in the world is just a few million Muslims away from becoming another Israel. And Israel is a symbol of what the mobs intend to do to Europe and every nation they invade.

[…] The ‘Palestinian’ flag symbolizes the ability of Muslims to move to any country and then take it over. That’s what makes it a better symbol for what they are doing than any national flag or any flag short of the traditional Islamic battle flag waved by end-stage ISIS and Al Qaeda militias.

3. Muslims mass-murdered Christians in a Church in Jordan. But Christians don’t worry about it they just have a thing about Israel. or the Jews. Or something.

Jordan: Two gunmen open fire on church funeral, murdering seven, for reported ‘Islamic extremist motives’

If this was indeed a jihad attack, why would the jihadis strike at a funeral? Because the Christians were gathered together there:

“Kill them wherever you find them…” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5)

But why not have compassion for the mourners? Because the whole idea is to terrify and terrorize the unbelievers: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)

As well as Greenfield, Jihad Watch is a must read.

Chances are, if it wasn’t for Elon Musk and his purchase of Twitter, we would never actually have known about this event at all, or, maybe a CNN sanitized and dialectically altered version of the story where the attackers were generic, tribally motivated or somehow disconnected from Islamic Jihad.

This is graphic footage showing the wounded victims at the Church in Jordan.

The above link is graphic so cannot be embedded outside of Twitter.

4. Young Israel of West Hempstead reports attempted break-in, fire: Lakeview man charged

While many people will yawn at this story, it’s worth noting that one of the mechanisms of revolution is to normalize horror by mass repetition of events like this such that the public is no longer perturbed by them. In other words, the first time a Synagogue, or even the first few Jewish institutions are vandalized because they are Jewish, the public is shocked. But at this point now it doesn’t even make the news. Even the counter-narrative news barely bothers. This newly minted lack of interest itself is the story. People can get used to anything. Perhaps part of the information warfare taking place against the legacy populations of Western nations is to normalize horror through news. To report on child rape until it stops registering as a problem. Attacks on Jewish people for being Jewish, and very soon Christians, and then all non-Muslims and opponents of communism. The arrest of people for publishing truth about Islam on social media for example, also not making the news much anymore. Well, it never made legacy news of course. But even on sites like this, with 30 arrests a day (probably a lot more) in the UK of people just stating the truth about Islam, migration or any other data or opinions that challenge state narratives, no one really reports on it much as it fails to shock. In part, it is why reading The Gulag Archipelago is so difficult. It is painful to hear endless stories of the arrest of the innocent, their torture and interrogations and prison time for nothing endlessly with no relief. Eventually, it’s just background noise.

Perhaps it may be why sites like this are tolerated even to the extent they are. Because we unwittingly assist that process.

Information warfare is so sophisticated that trying to explain even some of the simpler tactics to people results in disbelief and dismissal. Reading even just the introduction to a book like, Disinformation by Natalie Grant will straighten that out within a couple of hours. But Disinformation, or active measures as a formal method of attack has become a lot more sophisticated since the fall of the Soviet Union when that book was written. It takes a lot of sober second thought to figure out what you hear, see and even say figures in to the gestalt of the revolution that is happening around us, and more and more openly. Knowing what is true, is now the province of experts. And that is a very bad thing.

The suffering of the victims though, is not lessened whatsoever by the indifference of the population to their suffering. And yes, it is impossible to maintain outrage, anger, frustration at what is being made to happen to our former official or unofficial republics by our ruling class, we cannot let it morph into indifference. Calm, calculated action, a clear head, and a running internal inventory of what is taking place, what we are losing and what it is being replaced with, is crucial if we hope to ever get back anything like a reality based free civilization.

There are a lot of dystopian future movies and books out there, but for this particular sentiment, Fahrenheit 451 maybe says it best. Each of us recognizing that the state has totalitarian power, knows we cannot physically preserve our past and our ideas. But we can each commit to memorizing one aspect of it and bring it forward into the future.

According to Fjordman, who’s essay on this is linked at the top of every page of this site, the enlightenment in Europe happened because when the Muslims ransacked Constantinople, all the priests, monks, clergy and intellectuals grabbed armfuls of books from the treasure chest of Greek and Roman knowledge from Byzantium, and escaped Westwards towards Rome. Muslims of course eventually managed to destroy most of Byzantium’s actual history and transformed the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. But the preservation and restoration of that knowledge is what brought Europe out of a period of intellectual darkness.

So yeah, we cannot sustain the outrage and anger at these events Muslims and Communists are perpetrating against us all. but we cannot lose purpose either.

From the above linked article:

A 29-year-old Lakeview man was arrested and charged with arson and criminal mischief after allegedly attempting to set a fire at Young Israel of West Hempstead and damaging a Nassau County Police Department auxiliary vehicle near Halls Pond Park, police said.

According to Nassau County Fifth Squad detectives, officers responded to a report of criminal mischief at Halls Pond Park, 831 Hempstead Ave., at approximately 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21. A witness reported seeing a man break the side mirror of an auxiliary police vehicle and called 911.

While officers searched for the suspect, another man stopped them and reported seeing someone starting a fire nearby, police said.

Officers responded to Young Israel of West Hempstead, at 630 Hempstead Ave., where they found Azzm Khan, 29, of Park Avenue in Lakeview, and a bush on fire.

Detectives said Khan had taken a lawn sign from the area, set it on fire and attempted to push it beneath the synagogue’s entrance door. He then allegedly placed the burning sign in a bush, causing it to catch fire, before returning to the entrance and repeatedly kicking the door, damaging it.

 

“Azzm Khan, a Lakeview man”. Ok then.

5. Probably one of the most common themes used on all counter-narrative sites, including this one for the first several years of its existence, was the device of asking people to imagine the same event but with reversed people in the same roles. It’s perfectly understandable why anyone would want to use that device. Demonstrating the grotesque difference between how the state treats the same event depending on who did it is an excellent tool for mining outrage. I don’t mean that cynically. It is a perfectly good reason to be outraged. But thinking it through, what may matter more is understanding that this outrage comes from the mistaken view that we still live in a system of law and order which at this point is vestigial. Like hip bones on a whale. They don’t do a lot of walking anymore but they still have hips.

Below what we see is not an example of two tier justice, but the replacement of the system of Rule of law with another one. One which is so consistent in its effects that to deny it is self hypnosis. Muslims and leftists may behave in certain ways that the legacy population could not even discuss or suggest on social media. This is perfectly consistent. That means there is a new system in place and not a corrupted one from the past.

Act accordingly one way or the other.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

Ben Bankas actually says it about as well as it can be said. In fact it’s been like this fora very long time. In the 80s it became obvious that the Canadian state loathed success and worshipped mediocrity. But its hit a whole new level now.

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

Quick post about a series of jihad attacks in Queens NY and why the response is guaranteed to ensure more of them

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

It’s been a busy day at Chez Tepes, but I did want to cross post this item.

A jihadi launched three attacks on the Jewish community of Queens NY and in one of them, murdered a woman as she walked along the street with her husband of 45 years.

The story is an interesting one. but the insight is at this article over at RAIR Foundation. The bottom line? Treating jihad, which is a fundamentally military problem as a law and order one is a guaranteed path to failure, and that is why leftist governments are doing it, and have been for some time now. Please read the article at RAIR.

If I had anything to add to the article at RAIR, it might be that it is worth noting how, in all the major jihad attacks in India, France, and elsewhere the terrorist group be it Pakistan’s ISI or the Islamic State or whatever other front for orthodox Islam claimed the attack that a proportion of the total resources allocated for the entire attack would be disproportionately used to attack a Jewish soft target. In India, it was the Chabad house. In France, if memory serves, it was a Jewish deli or some small business. On all of these occasions, had they not reallocated their people and various Ordnance to those specific attacks, their mass casualty attack would have been much higher. This data point should give some pretty solid indication of doctrinal Islamic antisemitism.
