"Antisemitism has spread like wildfire on our campuses as pro-Hamas rallies enter their sixth month. Encampments where students say they will not leave until their universities agree to stand in solidarity with Hamas mimic how Nazis blocked Jewish students from entering their colleges."
History gives us conviction and guidance - Julia Campbell
Ripples make a wave, and small acts of courage gain momentum for great ones. And afterward, maybe 80 years from now, someone will look at your actions and be spurred to fight the good fight and finish the race.
. . ."Today, as we watch ravaging antisemitism and the defacing of the American flag on university campuses, prevalent examples in history of courage and bravery should spur us to respond.
"Scholl committed to exposing the evil being done against the Jewish population. Together with Graf, Schmorell, Sophia Scholl, and Christoph Probst, he began secretly planting pamphlets on the campus of the University of Munich in Germany. This small resistance group titled themselves The White Rose" The leaflets appealed to college students, as they contained references to German literature while, on a deeper level, integrating Christian religious teaching, the bedrock of all morality. This was a way of changing minds, of getting readers to understand the actions of the Nazis and the students’ duty to resist them. The White Roses did not rally ignorant mobs together in the façade of a “protest.”
"However, those who take courageous actions must be prepared for consequences. On February 22, 1934, Hans, Sophie, and Christoph were arrested, interrogated, and beheaded. Let it be said of these three noble Christians, “And others had trials of mockeries and stripes ... of whom the world was not worthy” (Hebrews 11:36, 38). Though their efforts seemed to have lasted only a few months, their rewards are eternal." . . .
"Let these actions of courage and patriotism be an encouragement as well as a charge to us all. May we not just say, “If I had been there, I would have stood up to racism and Jew-hatred.” The reality is that we are there, and we must muster the courage we claim. There are many ways to resist the lies and violence taking place today. This could be by hosting a prayer vigil, taking to social media to share facts and support, or engaging in conversation with those who support Hamas. Ripples make a wave, and small acts of courage gain momentum for great ones. And afterward, maybe 80 years from now, someone will look at your actions and be spurred to fight the good fight and finish the race."

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans (nationalww2museum.org) "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose movement, while less known to Americans, is a powerful example of youthful resistance to the Nazi Regime.
Sophie and her friends were so far above the useful idiots programmed by the Nazis and their "Free Free" scarf bots on campus, chanting phrases given to them by their superiors. TD
The White Rose Hans and Sophie Scholl Heroes you should know. Germany had people like the Scholls; do you think there are any in Gaza?
