The Israeli government has a new advertising campaign for young American Jews to move to Israel. Please watch the cringe-worthy video at the link (the subliminal message is that dorky Jewish guys can find girlfriends over there). The Israeli government promotion says that young Jews can both move to Israel and get “best of all a free degree on Uncle Shmuel’s tab” if they explore certain unnamed “exciting educational opportunities for new olim [immigrants] to Israel.” Tel Aviv University and “Uncle Shmuel” are featured in the video.

On a related note, Becky Sebo is one of those arrested last night at the student senate meeting at Ohio University when she kept speaking after she was warned she was disrupting the meeting. Sebo is a young dancer and leader of Bobcats for Israel, the pro-Israel group at the school.

Athens Ohio Today says Sebo is 22 and from Pepper Pike, which is a suburb of Cleveland. Haaretz, which quoted Sebo yesterday, said she “is from Cleveland.”

Sebo tweeted the Haaretz piece:

So honored to be on the front page of Haaretz supporting my country, ISRAEL http://t.co/go3pBhqwwL — Becky Sebo (@BeckySebo) September 10, 2014

Israel supporters say that the charge of dual loyalty is a canard, but Sebo’s assertion, and the Israeli government promotion, both blur national borders, surely because Zionism entails that necessity: American Jews must support Israel so that the U.S. government will support Israel blindly.

Thanks to Mark Peterson.

Update: I said when I first published this post that the Israeli gov’t was promising American support for college educations, thereby confusing Uncle Shmuel with Uncle Sam. The ad would seem to promise Israeli government support.
