Antisemitism Is Still a Problem, and No One Cares

You'd think that if Muslims are a victim to Trump, Jews would be a victim to Muslims.

You’d think that with all the resentment that democrats have for xenophobia when it comes to Muslims, that they’d show the same level of outrage when it comes to Antisemitism. Right?

Oh boy was I wrong.

Whether it was the Lebanese blocking the Israeli’s from entering the bus they were meant to share at the Olympics, a Muslim Egyptian’s refusal to shake the hand of Israeli Wrestler Or Sasson, or even worse was the Syrian boxer Ala Ghasoun who quit once she found out she was fighting a Jewish Boxer, the level of Antisemitism that occurred in the Olympics was quite alarming.

These sort of actions should be viewed as heinous and as bigoted as what a certain orange man has said about the religion of Islam. What seemed a bit odd however the lack of public outcry from Democrats. I wonder why. Could it be due to the Anti-Semitic beliefs that some people from the Muslim faith have?

But the “religion of peace” can’t possibly be bigoted against another religion right?

Wrong.

“Shocking but not surprisingly, the Lebanese and Saudi delegations obviously have the wrong idea about the Olympic Games,” said the CEO of the Pro-Israel group “Stand With Us”. If I said I was shocked, I’d be completely lying. I’m not shocked that antisemitism still exists and I’m not surprised that Muslims were the major culprits of this.

Whether it’s the Anti-Semitic cartoons that Muslim countries show in their newspapers, Jewish people fleeing Paris for fear of mass Muslim immigration or lines in the Quran like 5:82, Jewish people have been subject of the worst kind of bigotry from members of the Muslim community. People may write this off as just the jihadists who believe in these anti-Semitic beliefs, and while a lot of Muslims don’t take the doctrine as seriously as jihadists, it isn’t a good look for your country when Olympic athletes are showing those anti-Semitic views notorious with their religion. Yet, despite this highly problematic level of hatred towards one religion, Muslims according to daily show pundits and unfunny political comedy shows are the real victims. They’re the victims of countries who want to secure their borders and people who recognize Radical Islam as a potential threat to western democracy.

If Radical Islam is such a threat, and if Muslims from the Olympics are showcasing bigotry against the Jewish community, I just have one question, why in the hell is no one talking about this?

Oh wait, certain shows have to portray the Muslims as victims. It makes sense now. Democrats don’t care about helping out against oppression, only when it suits them and protecting the Jewish community from this isn’t in their agenda. Sad, but not surprising.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
