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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
