Answering a different call: Americans who fight for Israel

(CNN) — Daniel Flesch, then a college student at the University of Illinois, had heard too much anti-Israeli sentiment.

He had family members who had survived the Holocaust and felt compelled to fight back at what he perceived as a growing level of anti-Semitism in America. So in 2010, he joined Israel’s military.

“I just didn’t want to sit on the sidelines,” the now-26-year-old said in an interview via Skype. “I wanted to actually fight back against those who think Israel and the Jewish people should not exist.”
