There is one thing the stabbing at the gay pride parade on Thursday, the arson that led to a Palestinian baby being burned to death early Friday, and the arson at the Church of the Multiplication several weeks ago all have in common.

These are not hate crimes, this is religious-messianic terrorism, committed by people who view themselves as acting according to God’s true will. In simpler words – this is Jewish jihadism, identical in every detail to Islamic jihadism, except that, fortunately, this is not a mass phenomenon, the likes of which we have been seeing both in our region and in Europe.

It may only be a handful, perhaps even 200 Jews, but in a small country like Israel – which exists atop a volcanic crater – such a handful is enough to tear Israeli society apart from within, and lead it to war with our neighbors the Palestinians as well as the Muslim world at large. The Jewish Sicarii, the fanatic political assassins in the Second Temple period, have already led to the destruction of the political and religious Jewish entity, and sent us into exile. This could happen again.

It is important to understand that this isn’t about a handful of madmen. Most of the Jewish terrorists are sane, so it is hard to put them on trial because they know how to cover up their tracks. That is what the men of the Jewish Underground did in the early 80s, and what Yishai Schlissel did ten years ago. The problem is that they’re sane, and clever, so there isn’t enough evidence to put them behind bars in order to stop them from committing acts of terrorism.

This is also why law enforcement authorities in Israel, the Knesset, and the courts cannot wash their hands of them. Had they treated Jewish terrorists the way they have been treating Arab terrorists, they could have prevented many of these acts of murder, arson and vandalism, which have been happening more and more often of late.
