Stand Up Against Anti-Semitism

It is very frustrating for me to hear all of the anti-Israel anti-Semitism hate going on throughout the world. Because I am someone who can not stand up and do anything about it. All I can do is speak out against this, and like many other writers and bloggers, hope people hear me and seriously consider what I am saying. When anti-Semitism goes ignored, it grows out of control. The Jews and Israel have to put out the wildfire, but they need our help, or it will consume them.

The hate for the Jewish people and anything Israel I see happening in the world today just astounds me. I don't believe many of these people (Activists, Palestinians, and Muslims) even know what they are talking about when it comes to Israel. Most, if not all of the hateful rhetoric they speak of are total lies. These lies have been repeated and exaggerated so many times, a lot of people are believing them without question. Palestinian children are taught lies and misinformation in attempts to rally them against Jews and Israel. I can not tell you how frustrated that makes me, because I am someone who has studied the truth and can see through the anti-Semitic propaganda.

I'm going to go through a few things. I hope I can clear things up and set the record straight for those who are reading this and do not know the whole truth.

"The Jews came in and stole the land from the Palestinians who were indigenous to the region."
False. Biblical and Archaeological evidence proves the Jewish people have lived in the region for over 3,000 years. Palestine was a name given to the region by the Roman Empire when they conquered Jerusalem. In the late 1800's, many Jews began to come back to the region, buying and settling the land legally.

"Israel is an apartheid state."
Lie. Apartheid (put simply) is when a minority rules over and oppresses a majority. That is not true in Israel. The Palestinians are governed by the Palestinian Authority, not Israel.

"Israel has committed war crimes and genocide by massacring Palestinians."
Lie. No one can prove this because it never happened. There are no reports of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) gunning down Palestinian civilians in the streets. Anti-Semitic groups charge Israel of genocide at their rallies, yet never give any proof of it ever happening.
In the case of Palestinian terrorists attacking Israel, that makes them enemy combatants. Israel has every right to defend themselves against their enemies.

"Israel is a terrorist state."
Lie. The IDF only target terror cells and military installations. In fact, the IDF has a history of dropping thousands of leaflets, warning civilians to leave the area prior to striking terrorist targets. On the other hand, Palestinian and Hamas terrorists intentionally target Israeli civilians in their attacks.

"Israel wants peace with their neighbors."
True. The Jewish settlers hoped that restoring the barren land would benefit everyone, and that is what they did, drastically improving the standard of living. Then conveniently, the Arabs began starting riots and mob attacks in the 1920's through 1940's, aligning themselves with Adolf Hitler. In the 1960's, Egypt helped form the Palestine Liberation Organization, hence the name Palestinian. For decades, the state of Israel has been offering land in negotiations. Yet they receive rejections and escalating violence.

"Palestinians only want a land to call their own."
False. When the state of Israel was formed in 1948 with the help of the UN, it was to be partitioned with a Jewish portion and an Arab portion. Instead, Arab leaders invaded in an attempt to seize the entire land. If Israel concedes to Palestinian demands, what will stop them from doing the same thing again?

The Palestinian demand for their own state is only a smokescreen for a much larger agenda. Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority does not accept Israel's right to exist. Hamas, a terrorist organization, is aligned with the PA and openly calls for the killing of every single Jew. If Israel is forced to go to the borders proposed for the Palestinian state, genocide will become very real.

That is why knowing the truth about this issue is so important. If we do not stand up against anti-Semitism, who will protect the Jewish people from a second holocaust? This is not a theory, this is real. Radical Islam and activists around the world openly call for Israel's destruction. History is literally repeating itself. No one believed Hitler was a threat until it was too late. We must not let that happen again. I am asking all of you to stand up against all forms of anti-Semitism.
