Hamas's war on Israel has unleashed other outbreaks of antisemitism.
The war that Hamas launched against Israel has unleashed other outbreaks of antisemitism around the world. We’ve observed large-scale celebrations of the murder of Israeli citizens, with crowds chanting 'gas the Jews,' and even governments, such as Iran, celebrating this slaughter in the name of Islam. One place where these outbreaks are particularly conspicuous is on American university campuses.
This reminds me of a conversation I had in Israel this past April. I was traveling with a group of Jewish friends, most of whom were politically progressive. We were having lunch together along the shore of the Sea of Galilee when one of them said, 'I don’t understand why our children, after going to American colleges, turn out to be so hostile toward Israel. Why are our universities like this?' At this point in the conversation I spoke up. I was one of the few Christians in the group.
At many schools, educators have been teaching this stuff for years, and now some of us are surprised to see it being lived out by students this week as they actually celebrate the slaughter! Again, not all universities promote this insanity. We at Colorado Christian University deplore Hamas’s campaign of terror against Israel. We stand with Israel, against the jihadists, we affirm its right to exist in that land, to defend itself, and to pursue those who have attacked it.
We urge other Christian universities to acknowledge that this was intentionally timed and meticulously planned. It took place on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel, on the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War . We urge you not to embrace the false moral equivalency that is being asserted between the Hamas terrorists and the democratic state of Israel.
