Fighting Self-Hating Jews

A local activist in Orange County has been fighting a large organization.  The organization is Jewish and it supports an initiative to send students, Jewish and others, to Israel.  Thus far, the idea is fantastic.  For instance, the program “Birthright,” started by philanthropist Bronfman and now an official endeavor of the Israeli government, sends young Jews to Israel to get to know the country.  They return after a short stay, an all-expense paid trip, turned into Israel’s best ambassadors.

They, who never saw the Jewish state, experience it first hand—from its modern façade to its Biblical roots.  They get to know this tiny country, a beautiful petite lady, and its over seven million inhabitants.

They experience the Dead Sea, considered one of the wonders of the world, cover themselves in black mud and float in water that does not let them drown.  They ascend onto Masada and hear about determination and conviction turned into action, and thirstily they absorb the most marvelous scenery down below.

Then onto Jerusalem where they discover all major religions coexisting, like a miracle, in this eternal capital of the Jewish people.

They visit the main power-center of Israel, where the executive, legislative and judicial branches reside, and discover that minorities are well represented there—Muslim Arabs in the Supreme Court, in the Knesset and in the Government and another non-Jewish minority, the Druze in the Knesset and in the Government.

They see their peers in uniforms, green, white or grey, a mandatory draft that precedes life in society.  College waits until after the obligatory service.

A plethora of immigrants, all assimilated, surround them everywhere they go, as they experience the wonder of children who do not distinguish one another by skin color.

Out and about to enjoy the nightlife, safe and secure in their surroundings.

Until terror hits.  Until the country is attacked.  Until they are presented with the hatred threatening to swallow up the tiny Jewish State.

Israel is surrounded by enemies just a short drive from Israeli towns and cities.  They amass tens of thousands of rockets to use at will.  They cultivate terror, fueled non-stop by incitement against the Jews and Israel’s very existence.  They call for Israel’s annihilation and the world claps and dances in joy, drawn to an ancient promise to exterminate the Jews.

A mother swears her son was under her supervision the whole night, after finishing a delicious dinner she made, and goes to proclaim no “Palestinian” (Muslim Arab) will ever murder a child. Her anguish showing, horrified of the very thought, she looks around at the children playing in the street – “it is against our nature she says” and blames the Zionists of murdering their own to blame her people. Her son, it turned out from his own admission, was “out and about” on that Friday night. He did exactly what she proclaimed on TV no Muslim Arab will ever do: her own flesh and blood who was under her supervision the whole night. Now, one has to evaluate the effectiveness of such education and the credence we give to interviews made for international audiences. Recently 18 and 19 year olds entered a home on a Shabbat eve and butchered two parents and three of their kids, the youngest just three month old. One child not at home survived, and two others were spared as the perpetrators rushed to leave. When caught they explained without remorse: “They were Jews. They deserved to die.” Cold, plain, simple, trained assassins doing what they had been taught. Alas, imagine the cooperation and coordination between the Jewish community—acting quickly lest it lose its support base—and the Israeli Consulate. Rather than go on the attack, exposing the lies and true intentions of Muslims trying to silence free speech and their hatred to the West, not only for Israel, the Federation and Consulate chose to appease the OTI instead.
