I’m gonna make a prediction right now. Actually, I’m going to make another prediction.

On October 5th, 2023, I predicted that something big was about to happen and Israel would be at the center of it.

How did I know? Am I a prophet? No. But I pay close attention to geopolitics and the state of the world. Things were reaching a boiling point and it was clear things were about to explode.

And now I want to make another prediction. It’s not a good one. Not at all. It’s a terrible one.

Antisemitism has reached a point of no return. Hundreds of thousands of Jew haters marching through the streets of Western countries, disguising themselves as human rights activists who care about Gaza, is a daily occurrence.

Mass propaganda across social and legacy media, convincing millions of ignorant people that Jews are literally the new Nazis, has become the new normal. They’re being told we’re assassinating babies with snipers, intentionally starving children, and dropping bombs on people trying to get aid.

Jews are being assaulted on the streets of New York, London, Los Angeles, Sydney, Montreal, and the list just goes on and on. I don’t care what anyone says, what we are seeing now is Germany 1935 level antisemitism and it’s getting worse by the day. Jews in Gaza are being tortured and forced to dig their own grave and the world is silent. The rapists of 10/7 are literally being rewarded for murdering Jews. Western countries are rewarding them with a state.

So far, that’s not a prediction. That’s reality.

Now think… If you were some random person in the West who can’t point to Israel on a map and you’re being told day in, day out that Israel is doing the things mentioned above…

Imagine you’re being told that Jews did 9/11 and that Jews control your life. Imagine you’re being told that Netanyahu is Hitler and he is the leader of the Jews.

Just watch one episode of Candace Owens, which millions of people watch. Pure Jew hatred.

Imagine being told that random musicians and artists are being canceled because of the Jews.

Imagine being told that Jews are hurting children and that Jeffrey Epstein did what he did because he was Jewish. So did Harvey Weinstein.

What would you do if those things were hammered into your brain all day, every day?

Well, for starters, I’d do whatever I can politically and diplomatically to restrain the Jews. Like, for example, I’d elect a mayor in a city where there are many Jews who despises Jews. He’s gonna win. He will.

I’d do whatever I can to make sure that all the Jewish organizations out there will be outlawed because they are bringing chaos to the streets of America.

I’d outlaw AIPAC.

I’d stop letting Jews into positions of power, whether in the political world, the sports world (Did you hear what happened to Deni Avdija last week? Google it), the entertainment world, or any other world in which the Jews can seize more control.

But I wouldn’t stop there. If I were told over and over that Jews in 2025 are the new Nazis and we are taking over the world, I’d stop it at all costs.

Here’s my prediction: A very, VERY large-scale attack on Jews is about to happen.

I don’t know if it’ll happen in Europe, Australia, or in the United States (If I had to guess, I guess that it’ll happen in the US), but there are literally millions of brainwashed people walking the planet thinking that Jews are the manifestation of evil in the world.

All it takes is one.

I am telling you right now, I think it’ll happen in less than a month from now. I’m not talking about some Jew being harassed or assaulted. I’m also not talking about a synagogue being vandalized. I am talking about a large-scale, well-coordinated terrorist attack on a very central Jewish location, somewhere where lots of Jews gather.

I hope I’m wrong, but sadly, I don’t think I am.

This attack will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and a huge number of Jews will make Aliyah.
This attack won’t be an isolated event. It’ll open the gates of hell for Jews outside Israel. Jewish homes will be marked. Jewish businesses shut down. Jewish professionals fired from their jobs. All of that at scale!

After this attack, antisemitism will become all but institutionalized. The Democratic Party will fight hard to boycott Israel and they’ll have support from countless countries around the world, which will empower them to make Jew hatred a real policy of the party. Jews will absolutely no longer be able to leave their house safely.

Some Jews will still convince themselves that they’re safe and that there’s nothing to worry about. Those Jews will sadly learn the hard way how much they are hated. Many Jews, I don’t know if it’s hundreds of thousands or millions, will come to Israel out of fear. They will start a new life here.

The fact is, antisemitism has reached levels we have not seen since the Holocaust. I’m not referring only to Hamas. I’m talking about Jew hatred in the Western world. It’s getting very scary. Jew hatred is literally making otherwise smart people dumb. They believe things no normal person would believe. Things that are incredibly easy to debunk but they don’t bother.

The whole “I’m anti Zionist, not antisemitic” lie is no longer necessary. Podcasters are openly praising Hitler and no one cares. So are artists. It’s widespread and it’s mainstream. Like I said, I truly hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am.

All I can say to my brothers and sisters around the world, look around you at all times. Pay close attention to your surroundings and if you notice something off, report it immediately. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are now millions of people around the world who want to see a Holocaust 2.0.

Sorry to be an alarmist but I feel this in my bones. The Jew hatred around the world is about to lead to disaster. All we can do is pay attention and pray. That’s what I’ll do, pray.
G-d, I hope I’m wrong.

This photo was taken today. Not in Gaza. Not in Syria. Not in Iran. In Sydney, Australia. I give it one month.

I’m gonna make a prediction right now.

Actually, I’m going to make another prediction.

THE RESPONSE

Rabbi Anchelle Perl, Director of Chabad Mineola on Long Island in New York, responds to Fuld’s prediction based on the lens of the Rebbe. He calls it “Reframing the Narrative of Fear with the Vision of Redemption.”

In a recent commentary, Hillel Fuld voiced a legitimate concern: Antisemitism is surging across the globe, anti-Israel propaganda is intensifying, and Jewish communities must stay alert. His message, though well-intentioned, paints a picture of inevitable doom—a tidal wave of hatred against which Jews are powerless.

But that narrative, while grounded in observable trends, is fundamentally flawed. Not because it denies reality, but because it denies the Jewish mission.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, never downplayed the dangers of antisemitism. He simply refused to give hatred the starring role in the Jewish story. The Rebbe’s approach was not about ignoring threats; it was about defeating them—by overwhelming them with light, clarity, and moral leadership. His message was bold and counter-cultural: Jewish survival has never been about fear. It has always been about purpose.

1. Antisemitism is Not the Jewish Narrative — Divine Purpose Is

The Rebbe taught that Jews are not here to survive antisemitism; we are here to transform the world with G-dliness. When confronted with darkness, the Rebbe’s response was simple: light a candle. And then light another. Torah, mitzvot, acts of kindness, and public displays of Jewish life are not symbolic gestures—they are the most potent forms of resistance. The solution is not to retreat but to advance—proudly, visibly, unapologetically.

2. Rejecting the “1935 Germany” Mindset

Comparisons between today’s antisemitism and Nazi Germany are misleading and disempowering. The Rebbe firmly rejected such parallels. After the Holocaust, with Divine help, Jews have built thriving communities, established schools, and created an unprecedented global Jewish infrastructure. To view ourselves as victims in hiding is to betray the miracle of Jewish resilience. The mindset of doom feeds the very forces we seek to overcome.

3. Defeating Darkness Through Goodness and Kindness

The Rebbe’s strategy was spiritual, yet profoundly practical: overwhelm the negativity with goodness. Every mitzvah, every tefillin laid, every Shabbat candle lit, every act of kindness performed in public is a blow against the forces of hatred. This is not idealism. It’s an actionable blueprint for transforming society.

4. Jewish Pride is the Answer to Jewish Fear

Fear leads to hiding. Pride leads to influence. The Rebbe taught that when Jews wear their kippah with confidence, build public menorahs, and engage the world with dignity, they command respect. The antidote to antisemitism is not invisibility—it is visible, vibrant Jewish identity. The world respects those who respect themselves.

Perhaps the Rebbe’s most radical teaching was that redemption is not a distant dream. It is our personal responsibility. Through acts of goodness and kindness, we tip the cosmic scales towards a world of peace and Divine revelation. Predictions of doom sap our energy. The Rebbe demanded action, not paralysis.

5. We Can’t Afford to Feed the Narrative of Fear

The tone of Fuld’s warning is drenched in hopelessness—as if Jewish survival hinges on the mercy of an increasingly hostile world. That is not the Jewish way. Our destiny is not in the hands of antisemites. It is in our hands, through our actions.

We can either succumb to fear or rise with purpose. The Rebbe taught us that the world was created to become a dwelling place for G-d. Our task is to make that vision a reality—not by hiding, not by lamenting, but by living as proud, active Jews who bring light wherever we go.

The question is not whether antisemitism exists. It does. The question is: How will we respond? Fear is not a strategy. Purpose is. And now is the time to act.
