Dear Editor,

After watching the news these past several weeks, it doesn’t surprise me of the absolute hatred that is being aimed at the Jewish people in the United States.

Look at what passes for higher education these days. You’re paying tens of thousands of dollars to allow your son or daughter to be indoctrinated by racist Marxist whose main goal is the destruction of the United States. These people despise that Israel actually had the nerve to stand up for itself after a slaughter of their people, equivalent in proportion to 35,000 Americans, by Hamas terrorists who now want Israel to immediately cease driving them out of the region.

That’s like someone coming into your house and killing a family member and they immediately cry, ‘Don’t hurt me.’ What a sinful world we live in these last days.

Do we hate seeing the death of innocents in any context as Christians? Of course we do. But at the same time the Palestinian people voted for Hamas whose manifesto spoke of the destruction of the Jewish people. Would we not stare with a jaundiced eye at Canada or Mexico if their charter was to kill all Americans?

But remember the main cry of terrorists is to get rid of not only, in their words, little satan (Israel) but also big satan (America).

And why wouldn’t our young men and women join them? Are they not taught from a young age that all the problems of the world are because of white Christian conservatives? Is not a Republic evil according to their professors? Are they not taught that America is the most despicable country on the face of the earth by college professors who love institutional Marxism?

A young man, who was salutatorian of his class, told me about two years ago that he was going into HVAC training. I hugged him!

Enough with those who can only survive and justify their brainwashed minds with their hatred of what is good and right. But there is a sliver of hope. There is a reawakening of some young people to what Christianity really means. Young men and women across the country are being baptized in the thousands and attending Christian rallies on campus. They are looking for and finding truth in Jesus Christ.

They are sick and tired of what leftist progressivism has done to their campuses and their lives and now have awakened to it being a false idol of foolish leaders and the power hungry.

Only God knows our future, but at least the veil is being lifted from the eyes of Generation Z.

“But remember this: I still have 7,000 people in Israel who have not worshiped Baal. They have not kissed his idols.’ 1st Kings19:18.”
