Article: Israel And The Last Days
 

World Jewish Congress (WJC) President Ronald Lauder urged the United States on Tuesday to beware surging anti-Semitism in Europe and warned that seven decades after World War II Jews on the continent are having to look over their shoulders once more. The prominent Jewish figure told a congressional committee in Washington that the US could not sit by quietly, with events such as the recent attack in France underlining the growing threat.   "Once again, like the 1930s, European Jews live in fear," said Lauder, a billionaire businessman who inherited a fortune from his mother Estee Lauder's cosmetics empire.   "The United States can and must speak loudly and clearly to condemn this evil for what it is –- the radical Islamic hatred of Jews. To defeat this new flame of radical Islamic terror and survive... the United States must lead," stressed Lauder, whose mother was Jewish and in whose faith he was raised.
