As we approach the anniversary of October 7, there will no doubt be a somber mood throughout Israel. But it will also be a day of high anxiety. Considering jihadists enjoy sowing their reign of terror on symbolic dates, Israel’s military and intelligence services will have no time to reflect. They will need to be at the highest level of alertness in order to prevent any attacks which would cause even more pain to the Jewish people.
Gabriel Senderowicz, president of the Jewish Community of Porto (also known as Oporto) in Portugal recently said: “To know the 1506 massacre in Lisbon is to know the 7 October 2023 massacre in Israel and the historic genocides of Jews all over Europe.

Those who succumbed to forced conversion became known as “the New Christians”. The reluctant converts sought assurances from the king that he would not order any inquiry into their religious practices for a period of 20 years. Surprisingly, the king agreed and on May 30, 1497, the prohibition of inquiries into the beliefs of new converts was published. In other words, he unofficially consented to Judaism, giving rise to a new term: crypto-Jews (hidden Jews). […]
