A Noble Honor

by Abby Zimet

For the first time since its War of Independence, Israel is recruiting non-Israelis, primarily Americans, to serve as volunteers in the military under a new Aish Machal program. This month, the first 20 young Jews began a six-week boot camp that includes courses on Jewish history and identity. Its stirring website notes that, "When you get a Jew to fight for the Jewish People, you connect him to his People for life." Just to be clear: A Jew, whether "fighting for the Jewish people" or not, will always be connected to them; that doesn't mean he or she will blindly support oppressive policies undertaken by the unholy leaders of those people.

The word "honor" is a relative term in the way it is being used in here! Rather than serve America by joining our military, these pukes chose to join a foreign military whose only mission is to subjugate and murder the Palestinian people.
