'Hard to believe': U.S. warned of 'another 9/11' if it ignores exploding anti-Semitism, surging radical Islam

Patricia Heaten is an Emmy Award winner. She's also an advocate for Israel who has worked with various campaigns such as one from The Lawfare Project that fights anti-Semitism and such.

And she's warning the nation things could get very bad if Americans don't wake up to the threats that are coming from leftist campaigns against Israel and Jews, and in support of Islamic extremists.

"It's hard to believe, but we're going to see a 9/11 again in this country if people don't wake up, take a stand, and make their voices heart," she said in an interview with Fox News.

Tuesday is the second anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, an act of war that saw some 1,200 people slaughtered and hundreds more kidnapped. President Donald Trump continues to work on a plan to eliminate that threat from the Middle East.

"Heaton said she was dismayed that many Americans and people around the world have embraced anti-Israel propaganda and sided with radicals who seek to destroy the West," the report said.

"After October 7, I assumed that all of America, and particularly Christians, would be standing up for Israel, that there would be a massive outcry on October 8th, and 9th, and 10th in support of Israel and condemning what had happened. And instead, there was sort of silence from most Americans and a lot of churches and huge support for Palestine and for Hamas and for Gazans who went in and participated in this slaughter," she warned.

Heaton has founded the October 7th Coalition after seeing Americans turned against Israel following the Hamas terrorism.

It works to coordinate Christians to battle anti-Semitism across the U.S.

"This is a horrible thing that we witnessed. And now the whole world is supporting the perpetrators. It's outrageous," Heaton said.

She explained Christians must defend Jewish people not just to protect them, but because "attacks on them are attacks on all Judeo-Christian communities," the report said.

"It's very important for Christians to recognize this and support the Jewish people. And for our own self-interest, also for the interest, as Brooke said, for democracy, for Judeo-Christian values that we all cherish, and we benefit from," Heaton said. "But you have to remember 9/11. You have to remember the first attack on the World Trade Center, and you have to take seriously these attacks on Jews that are happening on American soil."

She referenced Brooke Goldstein, who founded The Lawfare Project. Goldstein said Americans who had lost sight of the threat from radical Islamists – who hijacked those jets on 9/11 – might be perceiving a problem again.

"I think Americans are starting to wake up and understand that radicalization — especially theologically motivated radicalization — is a threat to the United States," Goldstein said. "Why has it taken us so long after 9/11, when Islamist radicals flew planes and killed thousands of civilians, to realize this is not just about the Jews?"

She said part of the problem is what she called "Islamophobi-mania," or the attacks on those who offered opposition is Islamists and were branded as "Islamophobic" or "racist."

"Americans are waking up that this is a threat to us," she said. "We have American civilians who were kidnapped and killed, and others who remain hostages in Gaza. This is an attack on Western democracies — an attack on the West by radical Islamist states funding proxy groups engaged in what they call a holy war."
