How Bad is the Hatred Being Spread on College Campuses?

American college students are being absolutely bombarded by Antisemitism and hatred of many kinds or our college campuses.  Students are being brainwashed by liberal agendas of all sorts, but one that is significantly concerning to me is the work of “Students for the Justice of Palestine.”

Their agenda includes spreading hate and lies regarding Israel, and very actively promoting the BDS movement (among other evils).  If you have college-age students or know some, I encourage you to become familiar with what they face, and do whatever possible to guide them in a different direction.  Pray diligently for them, speak truth to them and encourage them in the Lord.

Take a look at what they face:

Yesterday I suggested taking advantage of Yad Vashem’s free online course, Antisemitism: From its Origin to the Present.  It is a great way to learn more about this Jew hatred.  Also, please pray!

God’s Hand of Protection over a Jewish Family in Ashkelon

Last week, rockets rained down on Israeli towns and villages near the Gaza Strip, as Hamas fired off over 400 rockets in a single day.  (The most ever in the long-standing rocket war from Gaza.)

Thankfully, despite the heavy barrage, not a single Jewish Israeli life was lost (though one Arab Israeli was sadly killed by a rocket).  Year-after-year rockets are fired, but year-after-year there are incredibly few casualties. 

To fully understand the miracle, you must consider the proximity of Jewish towns and cities to the Gaza Strip.  Several are easily within 5 miles of the border with Gaza, giving residents virtually no time to seek shelter once a rocket is launched.  Furthermore, for the most part, we are not talking about remote homes that may be difficult to target and hit.  We are talking about well-established villages with fairly densely populated neighborhoods.

If you have ever thrown a ball or fired a weapon, you know that large targets at short distances greatly increase your likelihood of success.  Yet thousands of rockets over the years, at nearby, relatively large targets have yielded extremely few casualties.

How is that so?  

It can be explained only one way: the protective hand of the Lord. In fact, in 2014, even the terrorists recognized God’s intervention on behalf of His chosen people.

This past week produced other very specific examples of God’s hand of protection.  One instance is of a Jewish family who decided that fateful night to pull a mattress into the safe room and sleep there “just in case.”  Check this out:

God never ceases to amaze me!  How about you?

Take Advantage of Yad Vashem’s Free Online Class on Antisemitism

Image result for antisemitism from its origin to the present

Hi friends!  I want to encourage you to take advantage of a fantastic opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the Holocaust (what led up to it, how it happened and the impact it had).  The Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum and International School for Holocaust Studies is offering a free online course entitled “Antisemitism: From its Origin to the Present,” and I highly recommend it.

In 2015 I had the tremendous privilege of attending a Christian Leaders Seminar at Yad Vashem, where I sat under the teaching of the world’s experts on Holocaust study.  The online course, of which I also partook about a year ago, was also developed by Yad Vashem staff.  It is very well done and, though you may not agree with every classmates’ comments, there is abundant opportunity to engage if you choose to.  Teaching sessions are taught online by world-renown experts, and you can access those teachings at your convenience.

The entire course is free, with no hidden charges, though there is an option to upgrade if you want a certificate of completion and unlimited access to course content.  For more information or to register, click here.  Why not jump in this weekend!  Enjoy!

PS: Check back tomorrow to find out why it is important to understand the issue of antisemitism and what you can do to combat it.
