Non-Jewish Zionists Must Speak Up for Israel


(Jewish News-UK) Rachel Carey - I care about Israel as a Christian, a politics student, and a human being who stands against anti-Jewish hate. Support for the Middle East's only democracy should not be treated like a guilty secret. Defending Israel's right to exist is key to tackling anti-Semitism, which is often cloaked as anti-Zionism. If I stay silent, I help legitimize an insidious culture of discrimination that ultimately threatens us all. Many students don't hold entrenched views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; they just haven't heard Israel's side of the story. I want my fellow students to understand that despite its flaws, Israel is a haven for minority rights, a seedbed for entrepreneurship, and a country committed to peace with its neighbors.
