November 8 Anti-Jewish Boycott in Philadelphia to Coincide with Nazi Pogrom Kristallnacht

November 8, 2026: Anti-Jewish bike ride event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

"The flyer promoting the ride names Dizengoff, Huda, Schlesinger’s, Mac Mart and other local businesses. Marking businesses for removal from Philadelphia is an attempt to intimidate, marginalize and exclude members of the Jewish community from the economic and civic life of our city. No business should be targeted because of the identity, heritage or perceived political beliefs of its owners.

The ride falls on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, November 9-10, 1938, when Nazi-organized mobs destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues in Germany and Austria, while thousands of Jews were beaten, assaulted and sent to concentration camps. The public targeting of Jewish businesses should alarm every person of conscience. We cannot allow such hatred to become normalized in Philadelphia." - The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadephia

"Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November pogrom(s) (German: Novemberpogrome was a pogrom against Jews carried out by the Nazi Party's Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary forces along with some participation from the Hitler Youth and German civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938." -Wikipedia

in memory of BARREN CROSS drummer Steve Whitaker

November 6, 2025: RIP Steve Whitaker (July 10, 1963 - November 6, 2025) (Barren Cross drums 1983-1990, 1994, 2008-2025)

"Barren Cross is an American Christian metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. It was formed by Michael 'Mike Lee' Drive (vocals), Ray Parris (guitar), Jim LaVerde (bass), and Steve Whitaker (drums). The band released six albums from 1986 to 1994, and reunited for a few shows in the 2010s with plans to record a new album." -Wikipedia

The following tribute was written by Paul Doty on November 7, 2025 on Facebook. I (Metal Bulletin Zine) also I am using the picture that Paul Doty used in his tribute. Therefore, I am sharing Paul Doty's entire statement and his picture. All credit to Paul Doty for writing this statement:

My friend and bandmate Steve Whitaker went home to be with the Lord yesterday. Steve brought me into Barren Cross on the album Atomic Arena. I served with Barren Cross as their front of house engineer through the remainder of Atomic Arena, all of State of Control & Hotter Than Hell Live as the band was at their peak, and scattered dates during the Rattle Your Cage era.

I’m contemplating Steve’s life today, what can I say about Steve? I think the greatest gift anyone can leave anyone is the absolute knowledge when they die that they are with the Lord in Heaven. Those are the people that inspire me, and those are the people I have tried to surround myself with in life. Individuals that are unwavering in their love for their Savior, and those with both a deep intellectual AND loving knowledge of their Creator. Steve was such a man. Today I have no doubt whatsoever that I will one day see Steve again. That comfort is priceless. That is the comfort I want to personally leave everyone when I leave this world. From a sound engineer’s standpoint, Steve Whitaker was a unique drummer. I put him in the same category as Stewart Copeland in the fact that he literally marched to his own beat. His style was unique, and I feel for anyone who ever tried to cover a Barren Cross song exactly. Some of the riffs he pulled off seemed simple until you started breaking them down in your head, or tried to copy them. Then you would realize that you were in way over your head, trying to figure out a master musician. More than once during soundcheck as my brain was focusing on his kick and snare patterns did a smile come up on my face, knowing that what I was listening to was nowhere close to traditional. It was a unique style. Unique to the individual who came up with it.

Steve, a chess master, was my chess mentor. The very first time I played him on tour with my first move of the game, he looked at me and said you are either an utter moron, or an utter genius. Then he sat, thought, and studied. Unfortunately, I was the moron. I have no idea over the years and how many games we played together, or how many times he beat me. I do, however know exactly how many times I beat him. Once. He will be known as the great drummer from Barron Cross, but another area that he totally shined in that he probably didn’t get as much recognition as he deserved was as a writer. Two of the greatest Barren Cross songs were written by Steve, King of Kings, and Out of Time. Of course he contributed to all of the Barren Cross songs and wrote others, but those lyrics are definitive Barren Cross.

Steve, you will be missed, but in the grand scheme of things we will see each other soon enough. Thank you for bringing me into your world and introducing me to the Barren Cross family. Lifelong friends and beyond.

1. Holland 2024 Pro-Hamas Mob Violence against Jewish People

2. Lybia, North Africa 1945 Nationwide Massive Waves of Pogroms against Jewish People

3. Germany 1923 Pre-Nazi Pogroms against Jewish People

November 6, 7, and 8, 2024 Amsterdam riots (Wikipedia dates).

Grokipedia shows: "The November 2024 Amsterdam riots consisted of coordinated antisemitic assaults on Israeli soccer fans in the Dutch capital following a UEFA Europa League match on 7 November between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv, with rioters systematically targeting victims based on identifiable Jewish or Israeli symbols such as kippahs or Maccabi gear. Dutch police reported that perpetrators conducted 'hit-and-run' attacks across the city center, yelling slurs like 'dirty Jews' while beating and robbing supporters, leading to five hospitalizations and 62 immediate arrests for offenses including grievous bodily harm."

Wikipedia shows: "The attacks were condemned by Dutch authorities, who described them as antisemitic. Some Israeli and Dutch authors also described the incident as a pogrom. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said he was 'horrified' by the 'antisemitic attacks' on Israelis, and that the country had 'failed' its Jewish community ... 'There is nothing, absolutely nothing to serve as an excuse for the deliberate search and hunting down of Jews.' VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz described the images as 'incredibly sick' and the attacks as 'pure Jew-hatred.' King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed 'deep horror and shock' at the attacks, adding: 'We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again.'"

Both Wikipedia and Grokipedia show that Jewish people say that the pogrom was by Moroccons and Palestian Arabs Muslims, with other supporters joinig the Jew-hunting gangs.

*************

"1945 anti-Jewish riots in Tripolitania" (Wikipedia information)

"The 1945 anti-Jewish riots in Tripolitania were the most violentriots against Jews in North Africa in the 20th century. From November 5 to November 7, 1945, more than 140 Jews were killed and many more injured in a pogrom in Tripolitania, then under British military occupation. 38 Jews were killed in Tripoli from where the riots spread. 40 were killed in Amrus, 34 in Zanzur, 7 in Tajura, 13 in Zawia and 3 in Qusabat."

"Some of the worst anti-Jewish violence occurred following the liberation of North Africa by Allied troops. From November 5 to November 7, 1945, more than 140 Jews (including 36 children) were killed and hundreds more injured in the Tripoli pogrom. Therioters looted nearly all of the city's synagogues and destroyed five of them,along with hundreds of homes and businesses. In the aftermath about 4,000 Jews were left homeless, and 2,400 were reduced to poverty. Five synagogues in Tripoli and four in provincial towns were destroyed, and over 1,000 Jewish residences and commercial buildings were plundered in Tripoli alone. Many Jews in al-Kusbat converted to Islam in order to avoid being massacred."

These pogroms eventually forced Jewish people to leave Libya: "The history of the Jews in Libya stretches back to the 3rd century BCE, when Cyrenaica was under Greek rule. The Jewish population of Libya, a part of the Sephardi-Maghrebi Jewish community, continued to populate the area continuously until modern times." --"The insecurity which arose from these anti-Jewish attacks, as well as the founding of the state of Israel led many Jews to emigrate. From 1948 to 1951, and especially after immigration became legal in 1949, 30,972 Jews immigrated to Israel."

*************

The 1923 Scheunenviertel Pogrom in Germany.

According to Berlin-Escape dot com, "On 5 to 7 November 1923, during the hyperinflation crisis, a mob attacked Jewish residents and businesses in the Scheunenviertel over three nights. Shops were looted, people were beaten, and several were seriously injured. The violence was organised by far-right nationalist groups and required police intervention to stop. The 1923 pogrom is historically significant as one of the first organised antisemitic attacks in a major German city in the twentieth century — a decade before Hitler’s accession to power. It demonstrated the vulnerability of the immigrant community, which had neither the assimilation protections of the established German-Jewish community nor, in many cases, German citizenship."

Angry crowds flooded into the Scheunenviertel, a Berlin neighborhood where many Jewish people lived. Violent rioters yelled antisemitic slogans like "Beat the Jews to death" and "Out with the Eastern Jews". For two days, mobs pulled Jewish people out of their homes, beat them in the streets, attacked synagogues, and robbed hundreds of Jewish-owned shops and businesses. Local police mostly watched or did nothing to stop the violence until it had already spread across many city blocks.

this date in American history: Abraham Lincoln Wins the Election

November 6, 1860 – "Abraham Lincoln is elected the 16th president of the United States with only 40% of the popular vote, defeating John C. Breckinridge, John Bell, and Stephen A. Douglas in a four-way race."

Lincoln was the candidate for the anti-slavery Republican Party. His victory convinced Southern states that the federal government would limit or abolish slavery. Within weeks of the election, South Carolina seceded from the U.S., followed by six other Southern states, leading directly to the Civil War in April 1861.

The election split the nation strictly along regional lines. Lincoln didn't even appear on the ballot in ten Southern states, yet he won almost all the free Northern states.

This was the first-ever presidential victory for the newly formed Republican Party, completely reshaping American politics and ending decades of power held by Southern political leaders.

this month in American history: Iran Hostage Crisis

"The Iran hostage crisis began on November 4, 1979, when 66 Americans, including diplomats and other civilian personnel, were taken hostage at the Embassy of the United States in Tehran, with 52 of them being held until the end of the crisis on January 20, 1981.

The incident occurred after the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line stormed and occupied the building in the months following the Iranian Revolution.

With support from Ruhollah Khomeini, who had led the Iranian Revolution and would eventually establish the present-day Islamic Republic of Iran, the hostage-takers demanded that the United States extradite Iranian king Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who had been granted asylum by the Carter administration for cancer treatment.

Notable among the assailants were Hossein Dehghan (future Minister of Defense of Iran), Mohammad Ali Jafari (future Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), and Mohammad Bagheri (future Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces)." -Wikipedia

RAMONES - "Let's Dance" (Chris Montez cover) - RAMONES trailblazing rock and roll discography

This is song number 12 from the Ramones' debut studio album released on April 23, 1976 by Sire Records.

With their cover of "Let's Dance," the Ramones sent a clear message to the world: they wanted to bring back the fun, fast, and simple spirit of 1950s American rock 'n' roll. Instead of following 1970s rock music of their time, with its long, boring 10-minute solos for guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards, the band interpreted the song down to its pure energy. By taking a classic teenage party track and playing it at breakneck speed, the Ramones made rock 'n' roll quick, exciting, and changed all of rock music.
