P.S. it might surprise you to know that there are MILLIONS of Americans who LOVE the Jewish people and who were appalled, saddened and enraged that they were slaughtered on 10/7 by your people, who are full of lies and the cult of death.

Thank you, Joshua, for giving me back courage and strength that was depleted this morning when I heard the news of these two beautiful people. May their memory be a blessing as we light candles this evening in their memory. The world has forgotten that the Jewish people have been warriors for thousands of years and we will continue to be. Tonight I will not dwell on the politicians and world leaders who persist in trying to demonize Israel and the Jewish people. It is about us and our love of living and spreading light. So, again, thank you for a beautifully written tribute to the Jewish people and the humanity that we exude.

Thank you Joshua. I am not Jewish and I have been struggling to try and find the words to express my feelings about this atrocity. My emotions outrun my ability to put them into words. The pain I feel for the Jewish people and the tragedy that you must go through this in the supposedly civilized 21st century is beyond comprehension. God bless Israel, the Jews throughout the world and all of us who love and support you. I don’t know what else to say.

Thank you, Joshua. Rot in prison is an absolutely appropriate final thought.

I'm pleased the solution is in process. People hate God, so they kill Jews. How stupid is that? They are earning their soon-coming reward. Then they will no longer exist as the Kingdom of Israel lives under a King with the power to bless them. Bless your people, Lord.

Uplifting and well said. I do believe that all Jewish events must have security; and if permitted, carry a firearm. We cannot count on anyone protecting us, so must take it upon ourselves.

We have allowed those who hate us to completely control the narrative. We let them call us Nazis and say we are running an apartheid state that commits genocide. It’s all from the old KGB handbook of lies that the USSR and Arafat used to create the fake ‘palestinian’ cause. WHY HAVEN’T WE FOUGHT BACK? This crap should be refuted in the media and the courts. Let the world know the Truth instead of us sitting back and hoping they find it on their own.

What do you suggest? Got any bright ideas beyond “why don’t we foster back”? What do you think we are all doing? The problem is there are billions of them and 15 million of us.

Don’t lash out at me, sonny.

We have a huge presence in the media, law, etc. Where are the TV spots that tell OUR side? Where are the infomercials? Where are the lawsuits? Those are just some of my ‘bright ideas’. We have the ability to speak out LOUDLY and we don’t.

But before you whine more I’ll tell you why. Of the 15 million, from 8-12 million are lefties and pander to their perceived masters, hoping the Jew-haters will get the “bad” Jews first. The rest seem content to trust President Trump and Witkoff the Qatari toady to protect us and do the work. Only Bibi is actually fighting for us and he can’t seem to convince Trump of much.

Posting on social media is pissing in the wind. We need to fight MUCH harder. Now if you know people in the media, or in government, speak up. I wish I did but I don’t.

In the end, we have to reeducate the world. This is our proper Tikun Olam…bringing the word of the One True G-d and the truth of the Jews and Israel to the world.

You need to settle down nobody’s lashing out at you relax. The fact that you think the issue is not getting our message out there means you have not been paying attention. Everybody knows what our side is. They just don’t believe us. They believe all the lies. The issue is not getting our message out there. The issue is they hate Jews so they want to believe the lies because they align with their World view.

Do you really think that we will make some infomercial and some Nazi Jew hater out there that thinks that we were responsible for 9/11 and we control the world and control the banks is magically gonna say “oh they make a really good point. I am gonna change my mind now and stop hating Jews!”, please you are being ridiculous if you think that the issue is that we have not spoken out enough. The huge presence that you talk about us having are all leftist Jews that have agreed with just about everything that’s been going on until all of a sudden Israel gets attacked and now they realize that the left is bad. The biggest problem is the millions and millions of leftist Jews that have been voting for our demise for 50 years.

YOU need to settle down, and think. You’ve given up and we can’t do that.

I’m in Japan right now and I broached the subject of Gaza with our guide. All he knew was something about “50000 people” being killed. There are similar examples world wide especially in the US and even among Jews.

We have to get the word out. We can’t just cower like ghetto-bochers and rend our garments and pray the pogrom doesn’t kill us this time.

The left: “globalize the intifada! Free, free Palestine!”

Also the left: “how did this happen?”

I KNEW they would start blaming the victims and they did, before their names were released. “Reap what you sow,” they said. And of course the disturbingly common “false flag” and “Mossad.” They really think they’re onto something. Most of the comments on social media on mainstream news channels were jokey, snide, or outright celebratory. It’s like Luigi Mangione, the reactions to Trump assassination attempt(s), 10/7. If the victim is the right kind-white, Jewish, wealthy etc.-they are fair game to them. Empathy has left the building.

I doubt anyone on the left (or the far right) is doing any soul searching about how it happened. This always has been their intent.

Brilliant writing Joshua. I’m an old disabled guy living in the U.S. but I refute every anti-Israel anti-Zionist crap that is written. If I was able I would move to Israel and support the IDF. I’ll do the best I can from here. Am Yisrael Chai.
