Israel Deserves America's Protection

The Jews are a people that have been viciously persecuted since the beginning of time. Israel deserves our protection.

From January to June 2016, 287 anti-Semitic incidents occurred on 64 different college campuses, at a staggering 45% increase compared to the previous year (Rice-Cameron, 2017). The BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) movement is a leftist group that is responsible for pushing a renunciation of America's alliance with Israel.

Funded by "Students for Justice in Palestine," BDS is a Hamas offshoot—a radical organization made up of Palestinian youth who parade around college campuses, yelling, "Allahu Akbar" at Jewish students (United With Israel, 2017). Of course—like any people-group—there are kind Palestinians and Muslims who desire peace with the Israeli population.

However, despite widely-accepted lies and the message of the leftist agenda, there are currently over 680,030,000 radical Muslims—they even agree with the "honor killings" of women—who profess their beliefs across thousands of countries.

The evidence of this is provided in a poll that surveyed Muslims from 49 different countries. The Muslims were asked if they: 1) wanted sharia law, 2) if they view ISIS favorably, and 3) if suicide bombings and "honor killings" of women are ever justified, among other related questions (PEW research, 2017).

When the favorable percentages were all taken into account, the final number of participating, radically supportive Muslims came out to 680,030,000—over 1/10 of the entire world's population (Shapiro, 2014).

It's no wonder why Israel is under constant attack (Gross, 2019). Over 2,900 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israel (from Gaza) since 2012 (American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, 2018). From July 25-26, 2018, nine rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza, miraculously rendering no injuries. Israel was forced to retaliate, striking only three members of the Hamas terror group (American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, 2018).

Why is there so much hatred directed towards Israel? Despite claims that Israel has somehow incited or deserved these attacks, and blatant misrepresentations in the media, the underlying reason behind Palestinian hatred is pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism (Zuckerman, 2014). However, not wanting to incite even more attacks, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin graciously asked Prince William of England to extend Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a "message of peace," in June of 2018 (Ahren, 2018).

In 1936, the British government intervened in the Israeli-Arab conflict by appeasing Israel and haphazardly thrusting their Arab neighbors into a nearly century-long fit of rage. Apparently, the fact that the Jews were allowed to possess a fraction of their original homeland was an infuriating, unacceptable thought for the Palestinian people.

The Zionists also protested Great Britain's decision. However, the anti-Semitic genocide of World War II was just barely enough evidence to convince Europeans that the Jewish people deserved a personal refuge (Zuckerman, 2014). The Palestinians were not so compassionate as their Zionist neighbors; they vowed to drench the Israeli flag in rivers of Jewish blood (Zuckerman, 2014).

Recently, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' personal advisor, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, repeated his forefathers' vow by announcing his hatred of Israel, calling Israelis/Jews the "enemies of Islam," and "enemies of Muslims" (Abelow, 2018). The Koran (Chapter 5:33) is also referenced in Al-Habbash's video: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned" (American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, 2019).

Al-Habbash went on to say that Jews have a "culture of Satan," and they represent "evil." Spouting similar views, in one of his sermons, Saudi sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis, the imam (preacher) at the Al-Haraam mosque, begged Allah to annihilate and completely destroy the Jews (Solnick, 2002).

The sheikh also urged the Arabs to give up peace initiatives with them because they are "the scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the violators of pacts and agreements, the murderers of the prophets, and the offspring of apes and pigs" (Solnick, 2002).

Chapter 5:60 of the Koran makes a direct reference to the Jewish people—calling them pigs—saying, "Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path" (American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, 2019).

The Palestinian-Israeli War is not a fight for land. This is a religious war, rooted in timeless, violent anti-Semitism.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
