Why More Young Jews are Turning away from Israel. The Phenomenon of Anti-Israel Jewish Groups.
This video panel discussion explores the recent phenomenon of why are more and more young Jews turning away from Israel in support of anti-Israel groups.
Sadly today, many young Jewish adults worldwide are apathetic and/or ignorant of Judaism and are also unaware of the historical and biblical significance of Israel to the Jewish people.
It is these same unaffiliated and assimilated Jews who are being severely influenced by Pro-Palestinian, Anti-Israel and Boycot, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) propaganda that are turning them into allies of the enemies of the State of Israel.
Anti-Israel-BDS Activists on campus inhibit Jewish students from standing up for Israel and for Judaism too, becoming easy prey for these Anti-Semitic groups that are winning them over in great numbers.
Sadly, more and more such groups are now being led by these passionately anti-Israel Jewish recruits.
Special thanks to Aish Toronto and Hasbara Fellowships Canada for permitting Jews for Judaism to record this lecture.
This program is dedicated in memory of true advocates for the Jewish people: Harvey and Sheila Hecker z”l.

Why did JEWS FOR JUDAISM post this video?
Jews are being intimidated and manipulated into abandoning their God-given legacy to Eretz Israel by anti-Israel activists who claim Palestinians are the legitimate indigenous heirs to the historical land of Israel.
Anti-Semitism is on the rise and universities are flooded with vile anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian and Boycott Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) propaganda that inhibit and frighten many young Jewish students from proudly standing up for State of Israel.
The tragic result is many young Jews are abandoning a commitment to Israel and sometimes, their connection to Judaism.
For example, the Levins call JEWS FOR JUDAISM for help because of their daughter Rachel. She’s feeling pressured to marry a Muslim man and accept his faith. Rachel met Ahmed at a Pro-Palestinian rally on her campus. She was impressed by the Palestinians’ case against Israel. Ahmed is having influence on her attitudes to Judaism, Israel and even her family. She’s questioning her Judaism and developing strong anti-Israel sentiments.
Thankfully, JEWS FOR JUDAISM helped Rachel understand both the Historical and Biblical case for the Jewish claim to the entire land of Israel. Also, we helped Rachel appreciate the beauty and truth of Judaism and brought her back to the faith of our ancestors.
Led by the BDS movement on our campuses, where tomorrow’s leaders are in training, Jew-hatred is gaining momentum. The BDS movement has hijacked the hearts and minds of socially conscious Jewish youth.
Disguised by the mask of anti-Zionism, the goal of Palestinians is the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. At their anti-Israel protests there’s no discussion of a Two-State Solution but instead, the chanting of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” which reveals there’s no room for Jews in their Palestine.
Many Jews are poorly prepared to respond to these promoters of hate and anti-Judaism. That’s where JEWS FOR JUDAISM is standing up to the task.
To inspire Jews to be confident in defense of Israel, and Judaism, JEWS FOR JUDAISM is adding this video to our Israel Advocacy Playlist THE JEWISH CONNECTION TO ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list…
