Messianic Rabbi talks about Israel, Palestine, and Ukraine

From NYC, Rabbi David has served as a Rabbi in Ukraine for 12 years and 6 in the heart of Paris. Closely tied with the events concerning Israel and Ukraine we get his feedback on what's going on globally and nationally.
In this conversation, they discuss the rising antisemitism on university campuses and draw disturbing parallels to historical events such as Nazi Germany. Betsy, unaware of current events, listens as Rabbi David, a Messianic Jewish Rabbi, describes how hostility towards Israel is manifesting in chants and actions that call for the destruction of Jews and Israel, violating university rules and constitutional rights without proper law enforcement intervention. They argue that many young people lack historical knowledge, leading to ignorance about the severity of these issues. The conversation criticizes universities for failing to protect Jewish students due to pressure from leftist groups and financial concerns, reflecting broader societal and governmental failures in upholding justice. This leads to a call for proactive civic engagement, including writing letters and attending meetings, to demand accountability and support for Jewish communities. They reference historical figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer to emphasize the need for moral courage and awareness in combating modern-day antisemitism.
This underscores the need to:
1. Recognize and Confront Antisemitism: Acknowledge the ongoing issue and take active measures to address and prevent antisemitic behavior.
2. Educate on History: Improve historical awareness among young people to help them understand and counteract contemporary forms of hatred and violence.
3. Uphold Justice: Ensure law enforcement and institutional accountability to protect the constitutional rights and safety of all students.
4. Engage in Civic Action: Encourage individuals to participate in addressing injustices through letters, meetings, and other forms of advocacy, showing that grassroots efforts can drive change.
5. Demand Institutional Responsibility: Hold universities accountable to maintain ethical standards and safeguard their students against discrimination and harassment.
By implementing these lessons, we can work towards a more just and informed society that learns from history and actively combats antisemitism.
