Courage begets courage on campus: Brave college students are starting to stand up to the nationwide anti-Israel hate campaign
American Thinker ^ | 05/14/2024

History gives us conviction and guidance.  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.

In 1942, German medical student Hans Scholl was awakened to the persecution of Jews in the Western world.  While serving on the Eastern Front, Scholl and his war buddies, Willi Graf and Alexander Schmorell, witnessed firsthand the Nazis’ murder of innocent Polish Jewish civilians.

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 — white roses being a symbol of purity and innocence in the face of evil.  These pamphlets called upon students to rebel against the Nazi regime and the barbaric treatment of Jews with slogans of “We are your bad conscience.  The White Rose will not leave you in peace.” and “We will not be silent.”

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).

Biden's IRS? You gotta be kidding - they go after 'the deplorables'... Soros terrorists are safe from the IRS DOJ and FBI.

Prior posts referred to fighting patriotic fraternity members as “frat boys” when they were among the few good MEN at the scene. The days of Animal House frats are ending. Good frat men need to be recognized.

According to BMahar, the racist Arsholes account for <0.015% of student pop.

I suspect this is typical of all tranny/WEF/DEI/B#$%Sh&&t of last few years. We’ve been “taught” that every opinion is of equal value so we have allowed the screaming idiots to take over the world stage.
It is time to close down the stage production and bring out a different class of characters for the play that is life. Any time anyone so much as equivocates on such items they need to be either laughed at or pushed aside. Life needs to go on without them or anything they might have to contribute.
