Jewish students must be given the means to defend themselves
Iconoclasm is the act of attacking or assertively rejecting cherished beliefs and institutions or established values and practices. Jews have been subjected to this from time immemorial in the form of antisemitism.
In many countries, higher education is now nothing but iconoclasm. It has been conquered by hate, indoctrination and propaganda.
In the United States, the leadership of the Jewish community does not prepare Jewish youth who are about to enter college or even high school to confront the growing antisemitism on campus today.
Hillel, the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, and the Chabad movement are present on most campuses. But they often appear to be appeasers, not fighters. Their reaction to antisemitism is timid and they avoid teaching Jewish students how to proudly stand up for themselves.
In addition, Jewish parents have failed to teach their children the importance of Judaism and the pride of being a Jew.
Israel has been failing in this arena as well. Arab students who hate Israel are allowed to wave the “Palestinian” flag at every demonstration on campus, which is simply a way of saying, “Get rid of Israel and replace it with an Arab state.”
The Western world’s mainstream media, including in Israel, is the megaphone for the political left and its constant attacks on Jews and Israel.
People who bet on truth have already figured out that the political left and its media constantly lie.
