In London on Saturday, pro-Hamas demonstrators once again screamed “Khaybar, khaybar, ya yahud, jaish Muhammad sa yaoud,” – Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the Army of Muhammad shall return. This is an increasingly common feature of pro-Hamas rallies in the U.S. and Europe, while non-Muslim authorities generally remain either ignorant of what it portends, or indifferent to that meaning. Nowadays, those authorities may even be sympathetic with those who chant this. But make no mistake: this is a threat of a new genocide of the Jews.
As The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS explains, Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led a Muslim force against the Khaybar oasis, which was inhabited by Jews — many of whom he had previously exiled from Medina for not converting to Islam and for supposedly conspiring against him, although the early Islamic sources place his demand that they convert before any such alleged conspiracies.
When Muhammad attacked Khaybar, he was not responding to any provocation. The Jews were no threat to him. But he had just concluded a treaty that was disadvantageous to the Muslims, and to quiet his disgruntled followers had promised them massive spoils in the near future. Khaybar offered that.
One of the Muslims later remembered: “When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard a call to prayer he held back; if he did not hear it he attacked. We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him….We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, ‘Muhammad with his force,’ and turned tail and fled. The apostle said, ‘Allahu akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive in a people’s square it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.’”
When they entered Khaybar, the Muslims immediately set out to locate the inhabitants’ wealth. A Jewish leader of Khaybar, Kinana bin al-Rabi, was brought before Muhammad; Kinana was supposed to have been entrusted with the treasure of on of the Jewish tribes of Arabia, the Banu Nadir. Kinana denied knowing where this treasure was, but Muhammad pressed him: “Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?” Kinana said yes, that he did know that.
Some of the treasure was found. To find the rest, Muhammad gave orders concerning Kinana: “Torture him until you extract what he has.” One of the Muslims built a fire on Kinana’s chest, but Kinana would not give up his secret. When he was at the point of death, one of the Muslims beheaded him. Kinana’s wife Safiyya bint Huyayy was taken as a war prize; Muhammad claimed her for himself and hastily arranged a “wedding” ceremony that night. He halted the Muslims’ caravan out of Khaybar later that night in order to consummate the marriage, or more precisely, to rape Safiyya.
Muhammad agreed to let the people of Khaybar to go into exile, allowing them to keep as much of their property as they could carry. The Prophet of Islam, however, commanded them to leave behind all their gold and silver. He had intended to expel all of them, but some, who were farmers, begged him to allow them to let them stay if they gave him half their yield annually. Muhammad agreed: “I will allow you to continue here, so long as we would desire.” He warned them: “If we wish to expel you we will expel you.” They no longer had any rights that did not depend upon the good will and sufferance of Muhammad and the Muslims. And indeed, when the Muslims discovered some treasure that some of the Khaybar Jews had hidden, he ordered the women of the tribe enslaved and seized the perpetrators’ land. A hadith notes that “the Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives.”
Thus when modern-day Muslims invoke Khaybar, they are recalling an aggressive, surprise raid by Muhammad which resulted in the final eradication of the once considerable Jewish presence in Arabia. To the jihadists, Khaybar means the destruction of the Jews and the seizure of their property by the Muslims. The fact that modern pro- “Palestine” demonstrators want exactly that is unclear only to the willfully blind.

The reasons for the situation in London is clear. Muslims are primitive people from honor societies where nothing, absolutely nothing, is more important than saving face. If the Koran is to be believed then the Jews—all Jews, any Jews,wherever they are found—must essentially be relegated to the status of the Muslims’ dogs. The humiliation of the Arab terrorists is unbearable for these freaks to witness. Beating up Holocaust survivors and children on the streets of London is how they believe they will restore their lost honor.
It goes without saying that there is no way for normal people to live within easy proximity of such monsters. The western democracies had better plan now for mass deportation, or submission to Islam.(Islam, by the way, is the Arabic word for submission—just so you know.)

Read, “The Closed Circle”, by David Pryce-Jones–if you haven’t already. Hoffers, “The True Believer” will also add some perspective.

It’s only natural that our Department of State reach out to these historically astute traditionalists to assist in the cultural preservation of their quaint observances.
It shows how caring we are. In fact, why don’t we just bring Gaza here, lock stock and barrel of monkey, fun loving citizenry too?
It will establish us as a serious foe of Islamaphobia, and that’s an honor that’s worth more than three thousand American lives any time.

Steve says
They also invaded the offices of The New York Times and accused it of being “Pro-Israel”!!!!
If Hitler were a “Palestinian”, the new media, starting with The New York Times” would describe him as a “moderate Palestinian leader”.
TruthLaser says
There was a threat to Muhammad from the Jews and Christians in Arabia. He claimed the Jews, with their knowledge of scripture, would confirm him as a prophet. In Yathrib (later Medina), he could not answer their questions despite whatever time was given. The removal of Jews and Christians from Arabia had the purpose of preventing his followers from seeing him as a false prophet. Taking their possessions, women, and children was also rewarding. Males who had reached puberty were killed.
David Ray says
Leftist politicians flung open the gates.
They enjoy lying to themselves more than they enjoy lying to the unwashed rubes that have reservations about bringing in hordes of the mindset that cheered 9/11.
We’re chronically told . . .
“Diversity is our strength! ✊”
“Let’s prove that we’re not islamophobes! 🤘”
“We’re so tolerant! 🧐”
Yet, notice how Kennebunkport, Martha’s Vineyard, Malibu, etc are never dumping grounds for jihadists. Only our neighborhoods.
Darryl says
Then leveling Hamas would be Khaybars revenge
Lightbringer says
No, the leveling of Mecca and turning the entire area into trinitite would be. And it would be an apt revenge, though far more merciful than what the Muslims have done to “infidels” for the past 1400 years.

That Khaybar chant reverberating throughout Europe and the United
States is terrifying for Jewish people. But because most non-Muslims
don’t know anything about Khaybar, the Muslims – through these
rampaging pro-Palestinian protests – are able to effect a double whammy
to dominate not only Jews but all non-Muslims as well.
The hideous Khaybar chant is one thing but the image the protestors are
projecting to the world is another. What people are also dimly seeing is
Islam attempting to smash down society. In America they are watching
Grand Central Station stormed – universities overrun – a Jewish man
assaulted and killed – American flags torn down and replaced with
Palestinian – and in addition to many other incidents, including the
marching and chanting of hundreds of thousands, the actual storming
and defilement of the White House gates.
Americans are vaguely aware now that this all has something to do with
Islam – until the time arrives when it becomes crystal clear to them why
actual jihadists have replaced the protestors. Right now it is sheer terror
for Jews – enabled by global communists and power brokers – both in
the attempted destruction of Israel and the Jewish people themselves.
I can’t believe what I’m seeing. All of this horror plus the wide open border
and staggering cost of living and soaring unchecked crime and destroyed
cities – all deliberate and planned. May God help us all and right now,
especially the Jews.
Phil N Blank says
For years the game in UK was stuff the country with Muslims and brand the Labor Party as the anti Jew party. The BBC, their house organ, was of course complicit. Unfortunately, the game is on in US now.
From what I see in supermarkets and costco I think they’re already 3 percent of the population.

The free world people must do what needs to be done to get rid of the islamic cancer.
Crusades 2.0 will do it.
There are more than enough people willing and ready to do it, we just need the right leaders.

A BIG AMEN to THAT!
Onzeur Trante says
Good article on the history behind the words. Unfortunately, most of the pro-Palestine-college-student protesters probably know next to nothing about what they are mindlessly chanting out on the streets. It’s also safe to say they are likely illiterate when it comes to knowing much about the history behind Israel and Gaza. In a nutshell, it’s cool for them to join a protest, all one has to do is show up.
evildoctor says
The pro-Palestinian college student protesters are examples of what is termed as “useful idiots.” The left depends on these ignorant and stupid people to aid them in realizing their heinous and destructive agenda.
Steve Chavez says
How many Jews live in Arab countries while 1.7 million Muslims live in Israel? Who is committing apartheid and ethnic cleansing?

It’s the Red-Green axis in action. The enemy within, the communists among us, has done its best to obliterate knowledge of history and religion in particular among those it miseducates. The myriad insidious muhammadan front groups have infiltrated the ranks of decision makers for years and have ingratiated themselves with the treasonous elite of the Western countries such that a blind collective eye now cannot see the peril before it.
The almost congenital hatred the muhammadans have for the Jews (and have had for 1400 years) is assumed by naive westerners as somehow justified, when it is nothing more than yet another blood libel.
Mohammad himself was a sociopath and naturally attracted brigands full of blood lust, inclined to rape, pillage, and slaughter –pirates of the Arabian desert basically. They lived off the labors of others, including the Jews of Khaybar and other villages of the Arabian peninsula, and the many trade caravans. Quite naturally the Jews, somewhat more worldly and educated than the Arabs of the time, rejected Mohammad’s claim to being a prophet, even composing poetry and song mocking him. He never forgave them.
Islam is essentially a cult that reached escape velocity, and instead of dying out as cults tend to do, managed to grow and metastasize, conquering formerly Christian and Jewish lands, not to mention Hindustan and Persia, by brute, almost kamikaze force. Every country forming the shores of the Mediterranean, Anatolia now Turkey, and all of northern Africa was once Christian. The people of those lands did not convert willingly. They became dhimmis, were slaughtered, or fled. What will we of the West, the last bastion against Islamic tyranny, choose?
