OPINION:
I have no indication that the Chinese Communist Party or the Chinese government has any hatred or bigotry toward Israel or the Jewish people. In fact, in the past China and Israel had mutually beneficial trade. Some deals were large, such as the $1.7 billion improvements to Israel’s Port of Haifa. Furthermore, more than 20,000 Jews found a safe haven in Shanghai during the Holocaust.
However, a substantial amount of the recent antisemitic activity in America was funded by China, according to findings by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. The purpose seems to be to create hatred, chaos, conflict and violence in America in order to weaken our military and damage and ultimately destroy our society.
Unfortunately, China is not alone in wanting to overtake America. Iran, Russia, North Korea and others are also spending large amounts of money for the same purpose. Sooner or later Americans will be killed and America greatly weakened. The time for action to stop this destruction is now. Illegal college-campus occupations must be stopped before violence spreads. Other acts of hatred, violence and destruction must be decisively punished and stopped.
Lastly, government leaders should emphasize to the public the benefits of our freedoms.
