Right now in Israel there is violence. The root of this violence is anti-semitisim. The violence is between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas. Hamas is attaking Israel with rockets and then they go and hide in schools and hospitals. Israel has no choice but to attack. The Arabs then acuse us of aiming for the kids and the sick. The UN is trying to get Israel to stop. Where were they over the last week when Arabs sent 300 rockets into Israel. It seems that when Hamas tries to kill the innocent the UN turns a blind eye. But when Israel does its job to defend itself they care. The UN might not be pro-Israel’s decision but USA  is.

What do you think of when you think of anti semitism . Most people probaly think of the Holocaust or maybe even a litlle further back to the Spanish Inquisition. But what I belive should be thought about nowadays is Iran, Heazbolah, Al Qaeda, or even Syria and Hamas. For currently these are the threats to Jewish life. And many of these are not seprate but rather together. For as a whole they do damage. So we must stop and think about it. We must think of what we can do to lend a hand to our suffering family in Israel and all around the world. Because together the Jews are one.
