Making Their Parents Proud

(This editorial was originally published as a letter to the editor in the Santa Fe New Mexican on June 7, 2011.)

Our local paper limits us to 150 words for letters to the editor. I wish I had about 1500 words to devote to the topic. I think it's one of those 'under the radar' events that's even being passed over by most anti-Zionists. American Jews studying in Israel enter a Muslim neighborhood in the middle of the night to revel in the oppression and hatred they feel toward Arabs. I resisted the temptation to compare it to the Hitler Youth and their rampages through Jewish communities in Germany.

All I can imagine is the kid I quoted in my letter going home, and when he's showing photos of his trip to his parents and friends he gets all excited. "Here's some pictures of the night we rampaged through the Muslim Quarter at 3:00 a.m. taunting the Arabs. That was so 'way-cool.' We sure showed those sand-niggers whose boss."

This event illustrates how deeply the Zionist nightmare has infected our children. Heartbreaking.
Thousands of young Israelis celebrating Jerusalem Day, which commemorates what international law regards as Israel's illegal occupation of Arab East Jerusalem, paraded through the streets of Jerusalem chanting slogans such as, “Mohammad is dead,” “Death to Arabs,” and “May your villages burn.” This frenzy of ethno-religious nationalism included a march through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City at 3:00 a.m. by hordes of young American Jews studying in Israel. One student interviewed said zealously, “This is the Israel experience.” What a tragedy. Jewish students travel to Israel to revel in confrontational Zionist demagoguery. How proud would their parents be if these children marched through a Jewish neighborhood in New York City in solidarity with crowds chanting, “Death to Jews?” Intimidating Palestinian families in the middle of the night must be one of those “shared values” we hear unquestioning supporters of Israel talk about so often.
