defthaa

  Birthright Israel has been an enormous event which triggered young adult at the age of 18-26 for visiting such a holy place intended for Jews around the world. The Grand Affair has been funded by Israeli government and US billionaire families such as Miriam Adelson and her late husband, Sheldon Adelson. The donation was “intentionally” to uplifting Jews education and preserving the heritage from their ancestors. Furthermore, Israeli government believe the colossal gathering is to preventing youth Jews for forgetting their identity. Birthright Israel is exclusively for only Jews who has not been in Israel. The 10 days event transportations, place to settle, consumptions, vacations, and others are free or covered up by the money from Israel and investors. Despite the delightful and pleasant of Birthright Israel, everyone who has been taken part in Birthright Israel was subconsciously enacted in their mind regarding the Palestinians are terrorists. Therefore, it indicates the supremacist has been successfully planted in attendances’ belief. Israeli advocators have been connecting Jews with the insane inherent engagement to the land where they should have not come in massive quantity since the first official trip of Birthright in 1999.

   The main goal of the Birthright Israel is obviously uniting Jews around the world and shaping the correlation about the tight bond within the Palestinians’ land regardless or wherever they were born. Israel blatantly wants foreign civilians to fight for only “democracy” state in Middle East. Moreover, Israel nationality can be easily obtained by merely believe in Judaism. Consequently, dual nationality civilians could obtain effortlessly and they can start to join IDF right away because it was portrayed as a banger title nor an honor for them as a Jew. Nevertheless, they are aiming young adult people because their mind is still developing nor unstable for organizing their emotional thought. Beside the audiences’ vulnerability, the essential heritage for youth Israeli is colonialism project or famously called Zionism. Birthright Israel has consciously given a birth for other supremacy, cruel, extremist future Israeli government. They do not expect the risen of liberalism, equality, and real democracy in youth society for openly accepting other religions or ethnicity such as Palestinians.

   Israel as a Jew majority state has been calling their people from around the world for visiting holy place where the ruin of temple of King Solomon existed. Most of the tourists who become Israeli are from Europe such as Poland, Ukraine, Argentina, and others. Birthright has become a bridge for exchanging indigenous people with foreign civilians from West and Europe. Ridiculously, Europeans solemnly thought the idea of Israel should be the area they were born. However, European Jews are either altered to Judaism or their DNA have been whole fully gone because of the expel thousand years ago; Therefore, European Jews were not even known which one they were coming from because their parents might be converted to be Jews or not originally from Holy Land. Nonetheless, Birthright Israel has been a golden ticket for foreign people whilst simultaneously put them in danger situation since the war has still been escalating since October 7. Israeli personnel government are also wanted to keep Jews as a majority people in Holy Land in order to prevent Palestinian liberation or two state solution. Israel was alluring Birthright participants with some sort of “democracy” and “liberalism” in order to stamp the label of openness Israel has.

     One of the products of Birthright Israel is the counter demonstration by Jew students in America who were opposing the Palestinians liberation on campuses. 44 percent of Jew scholars are frightened to go to universities after many Free Palestine and Ceasefire movements recently and frequently occurred. However, the rest of the percentage is showing either they are unbothered or supporting college students who are protesting against genocide in Palestine. It is incomprehensible to see 44 percent of Jew students are scared in their comfort area and demand people to keep silence regarding the continue of bombardment in Gaza and massive Israeli soldiers’ operation in West Bank which funded by American government. Nonetheless, the displacement of indigenous people has been pursuing over decades through Birthright Israel by encouraging youth to turn into Israeli nor marriage with one of them.

   As a one of the holy places in the world, Palestine has been fulfilled with religious figures and civilians before Israel stated their independency in 1948. If youth people want to see openly minded country who can accept their liberalism such as LGBT+, they should not choose Middle East as their destination because it was prohibited based on holy books such as Qur’an, Bible, or even Torah. Furthermore, the name of Holy Land itself is used because many miracles and Prophets were born and live in there to teach morality and many things human should or should not do. In spite of the purity of the Holy Land, Birthright is providing spiritual bond but they were also encouraging some of the forbidden behaviors such as Birthright for Jews who were part of LGBT+ community. Moreover, partying and dance half naked as a segment in Birthright Israel have never been taught as form of worshipping or even honor religious place such as Holy Land.

   Birthright Israel as a colossal gathering for Jews around the world has been provided many benefits, but the cost of the vacation is the corruption of equality freedom. The main goals from Birthright Israel are preventing youth Jews detach from their identity, keeping Jews as the majority of civilians in Israel, alluring them to become IDF soldiers or in other words are dying for Israel behalf. Furthermore, Israel wants the displacement of indigenous people and exchange them with European and Western folks. The baits for those participants are the “democracy” and “liberalism” experience in Middle East such as clubbing, hooking up, same sex relationship acceptance, and others. They should not choose Jerusalem or other similar areas as the places to apply those forbidden behaviors if they were believed in the purity of Holy Land. But, is it ethically right to held massive event in the middle of genocide.
