I’ll say this for them, they’re consistent. Whenever war breaks out in the Middle East you can always count on the far left in this country and throughout the world to take the side of terrorists against the region’s oldest and most-established democracy. The soulless minions of academic orthodoxy are no exception, true to their tradition of supporting every enemy of America since 1945. College campuses were bastions of communism 40 years ago and, apparently, sympathetic to terrorism today.

Students (or at least I presume they were students) held a vigil Saturday night on 15^th and High, and guess which side they supported! Signs conveyed sympathy and solidarity with Lebanon. Leaflets condemned “one of the most inhumane and barbaric attacks in recent times” by Israel. No mention, of course, was made as to who started this conflict or how it started. No mention was made of the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah terrorists or the missile attacks against Israeli civilians in Haifa and other Israeli cities. Students lit candles and held Lebanese flags as cars cruised by and honked, presumably expressing their mutual hatred of Jewry.

I wonder how Saturday night’s agitators would respond if it were American cities under missile attacks or if our soldiers were being held by a bloodthirsty and genocidal enemy committed to our annihilation. It’s high time there were gatherings in this country to express the support of the great silent majority for the State of Israel in its war against terrorism. The vast majority of Americans realize that Hezbollah is the most recent of many numerous threats to Israel’s existence. They know that “peace” is not defined by an absence of conflict but an absence of threat, and that Israel has every right to remove that threat. They stand by Israel because of our shared values, our common history, and our firm commitment to democracy.

As concerned human beings, our conscience compels us to voice our deepest grief for the loss of life and to be the voice of the innocent people of Israel who have been exposed to one of the most inhumane and barbaric attacks in recent times. No matter what your political stance, we urge you to express your solidarity with the Israelis in any way that you know how. Your support of this blog is one way to show your solidarity with the people of Israel, and to say to the world in our grief and compassion for Israel,

WE ARE ALL ISRAELI!
