Advocate of Arming Jews Receives Death Threat

A Chabad Shliach who is a prominent advocate of Jewish self-defense in Europe received a death threat on Monday, as European governments scramble to protect Jewish sites in the wake of a series of terrorist incidents that have rocked communities across the continent.

From the Jerusalem Post:

Rabbi Menachem Margolin, the President of the Brussels-based European Jewish Association, rose to prominence in the media with his call for communal officials to be granted gun permits following the shooting of four Jews in a kosher grocery store in Paris last month. Following Saturday’s shooting of a guard outside of a Danish synagogue, Margolin demanded that European leaders “secure all Jewish institutions 24/7.”

“Menachem Margolin will be a dead man if he does not stop. We will stick a bullet in his head,” a post on his Facebook wall threatened on Monday, the ultra-orthodox Kikar HaShabbat website reported.

  • Cowards!

    Those “radical Islamics” supposedly WORSHIP martyrdom, we are told!

    Yet they are afraid of a few Yidden with guns for self defense! Almost laughable, if it weren’t so serious because they are posting death threats.

    They’re such cowards that they’d threaten a Yid who urges that there be armed defenders of our mosdos! What are they: afraid that Yidden with guns will not limit their gun use to self-defense, and instead go out of control and go on shooting rampages, like their “people” do?

    A bunch of cowards — all of those European muslims! Deep down they don’t believe their own “teachings” and don’t want that supposed reward they get for dying for their “cause”!

    Nothing goyim hate more than Jews defending themselves, in Eretz Yisroel or in chutz l’aretz.
