In the heart of downtown Chapel Hill, North Carolina, just steps from the University of North Carolina campus, a banner displayed by Chapel Hill Community Arts & Culture has ignited a storm of controversy. Prominently featuring a protester wearing a keffiyeh and the hashtag “#GOODTROUBLE,” the banner has left many in the Jewish community feeling unsafe, disregarded, and deeply hurt.

The keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf, has long been a symbol of Palestinian nationalism. For many Jews, however, it has become a painful reminder of incitement and violence—particularly following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that brutally claimed the lives of over 1,200 Israelis, including 46 Americans. As one Chapel Hill resident pointed out, the banner seems to glorify not justice, but intimidation.

The alarming rise in antisemitic violence has once again struck the heart of New York City. In a recent, deeply troubling incident, a 13-year-old Orthodox Jewish boy was assaulted on his way to school in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. As reported by Dion J.

This attack follows closely on the heels of another incident just days prior, where a Jewish man was slashed in the face while walking through downtown Brooklyn.

Yisrael Eliashiv, the boy’s teacher, shared an impassioned response, illustrating the deep concern felt within the...

In a shocking development, foreign actors with anti-Israel agendas have been infiltrating New York City schools, working to spread harmful narratives about Israel. As reported by Mary Kay Linge in the New York Post, these activists are “working to influence curriculums and sway students against Israel, planting the seeds of division in one of the largest educational systems in the world.”

This disturbing revelation highlights a broader issue: the manipulation of young minds through misinformation and anti-Semitic rhetoric. As Christians, it’s our duty to raise awareness of these dangerous influences and stand against the lies being spread. The close relationship between the U.S. and Israel is one built on shared values, and undermining that bond has serious implications for both nations.

Will you pray without ceasing for the protection of truth in education and for the next generation to grow up with a balanced understanding of Israel’s role in the...
