Be concerned about Black anti-Semitism

I have been reading about the recent growth of anti-Semitism on college campuses. As a Black American, I am most disturbed about the growth of anti-Semitism in the black community. Blacks in America owe much to the Jewish community.

The AJC/Global Voice noted, "Julius Rosenwald, founder and president of Sears Roebuck and the son of German Jewish immigrants provided over $70 million to build and repair Black schools in African American neighborhoods in the South."

Dr. King stated, "It would be impossible to record the contribution Jewish people have made in advancing the African American community's quest for freedom because the impact was so large."

Unfortunately, the spread of anti-Semitism is being abetted by our mainstream media, colleges and Universities. As a result of the persuasive work of our mainstream media, colleges and universities many gullible college students and impressionable Blacks have begun to embrace anti-Semitism without asking themselves why.

Students of the Bible know that hatred of Israel is the manifestation of Satan's spiritual battle against the Jews. Satan hates Jews. God loves Jews. They are God's chosen people.

The Bible declares, "The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations. Rather, it was simply that the Lord loves you and he was keeping the oath he had sworn to your ancestors." ~Deuteronomy 7:7-8

Israel legitimately holds the deed to her land. Israel is not a racist or apartheid nation. All citizens of Israel have the same rights as Jewish citizens. Israel even gave Gaza to the Palestinian people. Gaza then elected the terrorist group Hamas, to represent them. In conclusion, it seems as clear as day that the people of Israel only want to live in peace.
