Sitting in my office almost forty floors above ground level in midtown Manhattan last week, I was astounded to be drawn away from my work by chants of “Free free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Even up in the clouds, the demonstrators’ voices were clear and loud, almost as if they were just outside my window.
Based on the level of violent protests taking place across the globe, the pro-Palestinians in New York seemed comparably tame – yet no less offensive. For if there is any question that chants of “from the river to the sea” are wishful thinking for the annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel, the calls for “Death to Israel” were anything but vague.
Domestically, pro-Palestinians are using Israel’s defensive military incursion into Gaza as an excuse to let loose on the Jews. In San Francisco, 300 anti-Israel protestors surrounded and threatened 30 peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators. In addition to the usual chants, they screamed, “Long live the intifada, we support the intifada,” calling for violent uprising against Israelis.

You can hate the actions of a government and not be an anti-Semite. The word seems to pop out of pro-Israel mouths as soon as anyone says anything that might be considered the least bit antagonistic to Israeli policies. In fact, like labeling someone a Hitler or Commie, it's getting pretty tired. Is the US anti-Israel? 100% of the members of our Senate just voted support for Israel's actions. That hardly seems anti-Israel to me. But don't we have a responsibility to our own morals? Our own Christian nation's beliefs? When did we all of a sudden toss all that to the wind, and when did we become so morally weak that we're afraid to be labeled anti-Semitic if it's the right call?
