Where are we when Israel is assaulted locally?

Where were they? Where are we when Israel is assaulted locally?
Increasingly college campuses are the battleground for Israel. This week it was Depaul Chicago. https://www.standwithus.com/news/article.asp?id=2231 Peggy Shapiro of Stand With us and a handful of helpers tried their best against a large group of well organized Jew and Israel haters. Our Jewish college kids are largely untrained, timid and apathetic, while their Jewish counterparts in Israel are serving in the first Jewish army in 2000 years. My questions: Aipac, CUFI, ZOA and others are raising funds for college programs to train pro Israel advocates. When a campuses is under assault, where is the help? Were "their" college kids at Depaul last week helping out? Why did not someone coordinate the Hillels at Chicago area schools to send kids to help out? ADL, AJC, the Jewish Federation JCRC division, all raise funds supposedly to defend Jews and Israel. Did they pitch in? Wouldn't it have been an invaluable training for Ida Crown Academy, and Chicago Jewish high school, USY, NFTY, NCSY to pitch in? The new Pope is meeting with the Mufti who openly calls for genocide. We now even have Jewish groups actively working aginst Israel under the guise of pro Israel, pro peace, even on college campuses.. ADL published a study last week that 26% of the world harbors deep anti Semitic beliefs. The majority of Muslims worldwide favor violent jihad against Jews and Israel. This needs to be a very coordinated program in every city, pulling together all these various groups. Maybe it happened, but doesn't look like it. This will get worse and worse. We are vastly outnumbered. And parents, why are we raising weak, privileged kids without any concern, or strength for this? 300,000+ have gone on Birthright. Why aren't they a resource for this?
