Israel is not a client state. It is a sovereign, independent, and powerful nation.
Its strength has never depended on any foreign leader, it comes from its own people.
While the partnership with the United States has been valuable, Israel has never been a burden. It has delivered massive contributions to American technology, medicine, cybersecurity, and defense, far beyond what most Americans realize.
At a moment when America is facing deep internal and external challenges, turning against one of its most capable and loyal allies is not just shortsighted, it is self-destructive.
Those who believe they are weakening Israel by attacking it are actually weakening America’s own interests.
An eighth-grade Jewish student was strangled by another student while being called a ‘stupid k***,’ according to a civil rights complaint.
A new lawsuit brought forth by the ADL alleges that the student was brutally bullied for his Jewishness as the school in Colorado did nothing.
Police investigated and slapped the bully with a juvenile court referral for third-degree assault. The school, on the other hand, suggested that the Jewish student being bullied simply change study periods so as not to be in the same room as the bully, and leave class a few minutes early so he doesn't get beaten in the hallways.
Because being strangled by a cord as he was called slurs wasn't the only bullying he had to endure. Plenty of students harassed him, physically assaulted him, and even created "Jew tag" to play during gym. They made Nazi salutes and told the boy that "Hitler should have killed all the Jews when he had the chance."
The boy who strangled him didn't even get suspended for a full week. A boy spat on him and only got a day of suspension.
There is no reforming this. The school staff needs to face consequences for ignoring a boy being brutalized every day just because he's a Jew.
