It’s not just much of the world’s hatred of Israel I worry about. It’s that my children are being taught to doubt who they are and where they come from.
I can’t imagine how hard it is to bring up your children in these times.
The Jewish people throughout history have gone through unimaginable trials. They have always come back stronger. I truly believe this will happen again. You must always be proud to be Jewish, proud of your wonderful country and heritage. So many people believe in you. 🙏🙏
Thank you for your support in those difficult times. But what many people do not realize is that the deligitimatîg of the Jews is just the beginning of the story. All Western countries are under attack.
Parents and their children need the support of Jewish organizations and synagogues. Jewish organizations still haven’t learned that their pre-10/7 playbook of “building bridges” and “education” no longer works (if it ever did). Jews spent decades building and supporting liberal organizations which responded by jettisoning Israel and Jews over night. Hillel spent decades educating universities about antisemitism, but that education was meaningless, as universities became ground zero for Jew hatred and calls to destroy Israel. Synagogue-affiliated religious schools need to do a better job creating proud, Zionist Jews. This is especially true in the Reform movement which continues to confuse “social justice” with Judaism., who desire a tent that is so big that anti-Zionist Jews feel welcome.
You may be interested in this video here, “Big History: Understanding Today’s Antisemitism Through the Spiritual Structure of Reality as Presented in the Torah.” During the first five minutes of the video, a clip is shared from Against the Tide showing that during WWII the New York Times (owned by a Jew, Arthur Hays Sulzberger), and other influential Jews living in America did not want their enterprises to be associated with the Jewish problem in Europe and thus suppressed the story to the back pages. Both videos are linked below. Miriam Adelson is a hero who did more to secure the release of the hostages than any layperson. I became interested in Against the Tide after seeing a video in which Sheldon Adelson implored everyone to see it, saying, “People talk about movies that they can’t walk away from. I have to tell you, a fellow like me doesn’t have a lot of heroes. I seem to make my own life. But if I were to announce [deep respect] of a human being, it’s the man whose anglicized name was Peter Bergson….He fought against all odds (therefore the title Against the Tide) to try to bring to the attention of the American government and the American people the ongoing destruction of the six million people.” Based on Miriam Adelson’s heroic work, it is clear that his wife took her husband’s message to heart. The documentary makes clear not only the biased nature of the news, but the need for Jewish people to come together and be united in pursuit of truth. During World War II, the Jews in America were not united. According to Against the Tide, “The Jewish organizations, the Jewish leaders couldn't even understand till this very day. They don't understand what we were talking about. But one group that did seem to understand what Peter Bergson … [was] talking about was the Orthodox Jewish community. They were an exception. The religious Orthodox people, they really cared.” Notably, the only group that advocated that the American government stop the killing of the Jews in Europe was a group of Jews who were steeped in Torah knowledge, which allowed them to understand the struggle of the Jews in Europe (and our Modern day conflicts, including rising antisemitism) as nothing less than the fight between good and evil as described in the Torah. This timeless struggle is traced with detailed sources back to the times of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in “Big History” and summarized in the article that appears below the video. The Torah is, of course, much more than a historical document. It describes the spiritual structure of reality. But in so doing, it of course contains a historical narrative, a historical narrative in which we can see unfolding the struggle between good and evil, the very same struggle that was playing out in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, in the Shoah, the Holocaust. This is the same struggle playing out today, a time when the Jews are being fought against in their own land, in Eretz Yisrael, on no less than seven active fronts. According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, the eighth front is disinformation: a coordinated effort by the force of evil to suppress truth in order to undermine, demoralize and attack the Jewish people. At this critical time in history, it's very important that we all have proper information. Thank you again for your important work to educate the world about the true nature of the current war against Truth, Judaism and Israel.

The Torah/Old Testament is the word of God and his laws. Any one who fails to realize that is a fool! That is why when the Catholic church give it's OK to Homosexuality I no longer recognize it's authority!
I try hard not to let myself drift into battles over the ways we reach and worship God!
They can only do to your children WHAT YOU let them do!
Fight Back!
No Jewish parent should have their child in public school! They are being contaminated by Leftist hatred of the USA and of their heritage! Recently we have started networked Christian academies using a hybrid model that facilitates the best of all worlds (Homeschool, online and Public School). We are working to partner with the Jewish Charter School to support our Jewish citizens out in the "Sticks" by remote and bus to Jewish events. Still sorting it out but the solution will NOT be to exclude their Jewish immersion! Faith is important!
God Bless and Keep our Jewish and Christian Students!
On Liberals... These people only survive and exist in Western societies because the REAL soldiers fight and die for strong borders and high standards of living here in the West. Israel is Vital in this everyday fight, fought for Freedom every single day and will be for Eternity, and she always has been. Tell your kids this as fact. And then toughen yourself and your family up. For The Jews are Covenanted. It is all real.
Put your kids in a Jewish day school. Believe me, I know how expensive it is. I did it and, while it wasn’t cheap, it was well worth it. One kid made Aliyah and both of them are with Jewish partners.
My children went to public schools as did my husband and I. One daughter lives in Israel, made Aliyah and is married to a sabra. They have three bilingual children. My other daughter is in mid New York and enjoys Chabad with her three boys. Both my daughters were batmitzvahed and grew up with my Jewish pride and love for Israel.
I had never been there, nor had my mom or grandmother, however as one who ran from programs to Ellis island between WWl, and WWll, we told and read stories, had holiday and Shabbat dinners with friends. In transplanted New Yorkers and Israelis in Rochester, Mn reworked Sunday school curriculum where moms and dads taught Jewish history and Israeli neighbors taught hebrew. The Israeli scouts came, we put on historical and biblical plays, songs and dances. My children grew up with our love of Judaism, Israel, our history, and our fellow Jews. If love for Israel and Judaism is in your heart, it will overflow to your children. I had no formal background but a mom and grandma who wanted to pass our heritage forward. ✡️💙🤍💟🇮🇱
Start there, our children must not be poisoned in body, mind and spirit. At this point there is no excuse, schools are sick indoctrination camps. Self-hatred has been branded into us with the intention to weaken and enslave our people. At this point srnding our children into 'schools' is child abuse.
Decades ago I homschooled my children, it was not 'popular' then. What I am seeing today is as horrific as the death camps.
I made the right decision then and I would do it again. The world is sick with antisemitism and cruelty to children is in the mix for every child. Society has accepted woke as norm and JEW hatred as fashionable, how utterly vile. Homeschooling works and JEWISH pride must be restored, nurtured and upheld. What is roaming in the streets are the same demons... now they are nazis-in-schmatas,
noone should hand their beloved child over to antisemites.
After Modeh Ani in the dawn....
here is a prayer for you to say with your child....
"THANK YOU G-D for having made me a JEW; THANK YOU
G-D For having made me to be born a JEW;
THANK YOU G-D for giving me the strength to bear witness to
YOUR Glory" -Rabbi Leonard
"Teach your children they are
immortal light and beloved blessings given to you by
The CREATOR of All the Worlds.
G-D bless you all, our children are all our children, we must defend and protect their light and instill within their hearts joy and REALITY -G-D."
I appreciate your concern that our children remain Jewish and learn to be proud of their heritage. In particular, I was moved by your comment that, “Perhaps 2026 is not the year we ask how the world sees Israel. Perhaps it is the year we decide how our children will see themselves, before others decide for them.” This is the focus of my work: to nurture the inner essence of every Jew and help all of us learn what it means to be a decedent of Avraham, Issac and Jacob, chosen by God to make this world into a home for God, and the tools available to us to accomplish our mission.
I wrote David Rising as a novel in order to help readers understand the social, emotional, and spiritual journey of a successful businessman who sensed there was more to life and discovers what it means to live as a Jew, making each discovery as he overcomes life’s obstacles with the wisdom of our people, one challenge at a time.
“Excellent book. Could not put it down. Finished in one reading.”
Steven Schlamowitz, MD, FAAP
David Marks appears to have everything: a Harvard MBA, a Manhattan real estate empire, a glass corner office. Yet his marriage is thin, his daughter barely knows him, and a quiet pressure in his chest never lets up.
One sleepless night pushes him through the doors of a small pre-dawn minyan. There, he encounters an older operating system for life: the Torah his ancestors lived by, and a hidden algorithm beneath the noise begins to reveal itself.
As deals collapse and banks tighten, David is forced to choose between the tools of the nations and the tools of his ancestors. The story follows his journey from anxiety and control to a life guided by trust, mitzvot, and a relationship with HaShem that reshapes everything.
This is a modern parable for Jews who feel successful on paper but empty inside. It is for anyone who senses that Jewish identity holds more strength, clarity, and protection than they were ever taught.
Start there, our children must not be poisoned in body, mind and spirit. At this point there is no excuse, schools are sick indoctrination camps. Self-hatred has been branded into us with the intention to weaken and enslave our people. At this point srnding our children into 'schools' is child abuse.

This didn’t happen overnight. It came to light during Obama’s 2008 campaign and became increasingly focal. And still, 85 percent of American Jews voted Dem. Trump gained Jewish voters who had enough in 2016 and more in 2024, but still , the Jews go back to the now obviously no longer anything Democrat but for abortion and a single outspoken seated Democrat, John Fetterman.
Voting D is now voting for unbridled Communism, Islamism, Nazism , Fascism and extinctionism. Euphemistically labelled “ Globalism”.
I’m not a social conservative, but the now Communist/Extinctionist “ Dhimmicrat”platform is about racism, antisemitism, anti-humanism, anti-Americanism, anti-sovereignty, anti-family, anti-individualism, anti-reproduction under the guise of DEI LGBTQRS12345666 militant transactivism, anti-white, anti-hetero, anti-Hindu, Buddhist , individualism, freedom and prosperity. The left is a promoter of a global Holocaust of all things living and every Western norm.
And the so-called Jews who are funding and support it are the most vile of all. And there are an abundance of them. I don’t wish them well. I don’t want to be associated, affiliated or identified with them. And they aren’t solely in America and the West. There is a large faction in Israel. They don’t like Ben Gvir or Bibi? Fine. I don’t like Ben Gvir and have lost respect for Bibi. But to what end? I don’t want to answer that.
We left our synagogue in 2010. Stopped funding so many “ Jewish “ orgs. These bastards are leaving us with nothing . But they are getting nothing from me other than whatever power I have to sink them.
Bibi should have left the UN . Israel should have done so in 1973. Should have told the U.S. to fuck off. Taken Begin’s cue. But they didn’t. They would have been respected. It would have been a wake up call to many others. Instead of continuing to build settlements, Bibi should have first demolished the tunnels. Banned Soros, prosecuted Ehud Barak. He had ample opportunities to do so. He didn’t. He should have followed Trump’s lead. He didn’t. He chimed in with the left to trash Trump, force him to accept the election results… even though Trump did the exact opposite when Bibi faced the same. And then Bibi pandered, slobbered over Biden and reaped the rewards. Oct 7
This was the behaviour of Jewish organisations' Real-politik in liberal times. But Now Times have changed, and the Hard Right Zionism of Israel as she defends herself has shown to be in the right. For Nazism and the Hatred against Jews from the Far Left really did come for us dressed in their alliance with Islam. All monitored and proven.
First—Netanyahu must be prosecuted and removed from power. We have endured the worst leader at the worst moment in our history.
Under his leadership, Hamas was treated as a strategic asset—a tool to weaken the Palestinian Authority with whom Netanyahu did not want to deal—and avoid a political solution. His governments approved the transfer of Qatari* cash into Hamas’s hands, millions of dollars that enabled Hamas to entrench itself, build tunnels, stockpile weapons, and prepare the barbaric atrocities of October 7.
*Qatari money has long funded the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas, while also underwriting Al Jazeera and a broader global network of Islamist movements and soft-power influence.
That ecosystem of funding and messaging has helped normalize extremist narratives on Western campuses and in public spaces — including at Columbia University, UCLA, McGill, the University of Toronto, NYU, and SOAS London, among others.
Under the banner of “activism,” we have seen streets blocked in Toronto, Montreal, New York, London, and Paris; smoke bombs and vandalism at university buildings; intimidation of Jewish students and faculty; and open glorification of terrorist violence.
This is not peaceful protest. It is ideological radicalization expressed through coercion and, at times, violence — and innocent Jewish and non-Jewish lives have already paid the price.
Funding sources matter. Ideological networks matter. Pretending these dynamics are unrelated is willful blindness.
Leadership means responsibility. Netanyahu has taken none.
Ben Gvir—a convicted criminal and extremist—was elevated to power, given control over policing, and has overseen the creation of terror policing, the intimidation of peaceful demonstrators, including former hostages and hostage families demanding accountability treated without regard, respect, or accountability. At the same time, professionals were sidelined while ideologues and radicals were empowered.
Netanyahu’s coalition attacked the judiciary, undermined the rule of law, and pushed Israel toward autocracy—threatening the very foundation of the only democracy, the only liberal, and Zionist state in the Middle East. Brilliant genius Ben Gurion, z”l, a visionary leader, widely regarded as the primary national founder and first Prime Minister of the State of Israel would be appalled. A country built on “live and let live” has been dragged toward religious coercion and authoritarian rule. Not the ideals upon which Israel was established.
And after October 7—after the gravest, most horrific failure in Israel’s history—Netanyahu has refused responsibility, blocked an independent commission of enquiry, and maneuvered to control the narrative rather than face the truth.
We need an independent commission of enquiry for the future security and wellbeing of עם ישראל, and we need to learn from the gravest of devastating mistakes that has cost us so many beautiful lives.
This is not leadership.
It is self-preservation at the nation’s expense.
Taking responsibility is the first moral act after catastrophe. Netanyahu has chosen evasion, blame-shifting, and delay instead.
Israel deserves accountability.
Israel deserves truth.
And Israel deserves leadership worthy of its people.
I agree with you , but it’s not only Netanyahu. The problem is a clusterfuck power struggle of corruption and hubris.
This is hardly limited to Israel, but like America, the focus globally is invariably on Israel and there are traitors within , left and right.
Nobody has done more damage to Israel than the U.S. don’t kid yourself. I’ve taken notes for decades. We have interfered in Israel’s elections, courts, internal policies and fomented chaos. Your “ protests” have been funded and organized by the U.S. since Clinton, but never like we’ve seen under Biden. Obama was horrid… Biden was hideous. And the Israeli who should have been locked up for life is Ehud Barak. That he hasn’t been is on Bibi.
Ditto not having collapsed the tunnels long ago when he was popular.
I once had the ultimate respect for Bibi. He lost me completely the minute he publicly congratulated Biden on “ winning” the joke of an “ election” in 2020. It hadn’t been officially called, it wasn’t remotely legitimate and Bibi’s pandering was despicable. “ You’ve always been such a good friend to Israel”. What a fucking pathetic lie. When Biden extorted Ukraine, witholding the 2 billion unless the prosecutor was fired was bullshit. It wasn’t about the Burisma thing. It was coercion to sign the Obama crafted anti-Israel UN Resolution. Biden needed 4 signatures to get it passed. Ukraine had always abstained. If that wasn’t shitty enough, Biden then called NZ, who had also abstained. Then he threatened Senegal, who was just about to sign a historic alliance, normalizing relations with Israel. The threat was to sign on to the resolution or aid would be cut off. That was a crushing blow to Israel. Now Biden only needed one more signature. He couldn’t get that last one… so he did the unspeakable. Went to Maduro and lifted sanctions in exchange for signing. Bibi KNEW. With all that, he made that disgusting , gushing pronouncement. Apparently, there’s a case of amnesia relating to Biden’s once infamous, disgusting treatment of Begin by Biden, pounding his fist on the table, threatening Begin with cutting off sending Israel arms. When they were facing yet another massive attack. Begin’s response was that of a real leader. The famous,” I am not a Jew on bent knee” . It was so perfect that Pat Moynihan walked over to Begin, placed a hand on his shoulder, leaned over ( Moynihan was 6’5”), took his hand , congratulated him with warmth and respect. An epic moment.Moynihan, a Dem, showed the world how small Biden was. Moynihan will also be remembered for his epic UN speech, calling out the vile antisemitic organization for what it was.
But Bibi fucked over Israel and the wonderful Nobel Laureate, Michael Levitt by selling out to Bourla /Fauci on COVID with the vaccines. That should have been the tipping point.
He went farther with his congratulations of Biden. Fucking over Trump by announcing he needed to step aside and then condemning him for challenging the election results. Seems he forgot how Trump went to bat for him when he was facing the same. Seems Bibi had forgotten everything the Trump admin did for Israel.
Bibi trashed his son for calling out Soros. That was stunning. Disgraceful. He called out his own advisor ( blanked out on the name) who rightfully told Blinken that the U.S. , given its record in Afghanistan, Iraq ,Iran , Egypt ( Morsi/MB) , Syria and Lebanon should not be within 5000 miles of the region when it came to giving military edicts. He was absolutely correct. And Bibi made him apologize.
And then there was the court reform battle . When Biden excoriated Netanyahu publicly. Bibi was furious, rightfully. Yet when Roe was overturned, Bibi excoriated the U.S.. and it was none of his business. Particularly given that the greatest support Israel received was from the very people who are devoutly pro-life. I didn’t support the overturn, but I’m an American citizen. This is what Bibi does. I was shocked that Trump didn’t tell Bibi to go eff himself after winning 2024.
But nothing shocked me more than what has been seemingly ignored the world over. The insane “ Court Reform” protest led by Ehud Barak calling for IDF reservists to not show up if called.Seditio
I disagree. The Jewish People have a history of weaking themselves by attacking their leaders and leadership. Netanyahu has done well given the circumstances Israel repeatedly finds Herself in: Beset by enemies without, both Islamists and Arabs as well as Liberals in The West, and fractures amongst the Populace within. He has fought and won in Gaza. Stop attacking the leadership. He is a Hard-Right Zionist who keeps the religious nutters on-side but at bay. He has done well, so stop attacking the leadership.
Nothing like seeing a nice Jewish girl wearing a keffiyeh. May they all marry devout hamas supporters and learn what Phyllis Chesler learned many decades ago
I am a firearms and unarmed combat instructor; I do this to help people and generally do not charge. I also work within a militia that was formed to defend the Abrahamic religions. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.
We must stand ready to defend ourselves; Jews and Christians will come under increasing persecution.
Last week I was notified that if I entered England that I would be arrested for inciting violence against the Muslims! Free speech has finally died in England...
Then tonight I received a certified letter from a company that contracted me (whose name I won't mention but sounds like "Fokker Next Gen"...Oops) that they are terminating my collaboration on production process engineering. They claim that my social media presence shines the company in a bad light! I think that fearing to speak the truth is worse!
Guess I won't be going to Europe next year!
That just means I have more time to spend in Israel next year!
I will not be silenced regarding the danger of the Muslims, the Evil Cult of Islam (ECI)!
I will defend the Jewish Citizens of my nation (USA) with my life!
I will gladly give my life in defense of the Holy Land and Greater Israel!
Because this is what it will take to defend Israel and God's plan for its people!
This is a powerful, sobering reflection. It captures the shift from loud hostility to the "quiet cancellation" that feels so pervasive right now.
As a mother to three teenagers here in Israel, your words resonated with me on a very personal level. I often think about the "invisible script" that Jewish youth in the Diaspora are being forced to follow: the pressure to be the "conditional Jew" or to pass a loyalty test just to belong.
Reading this, I felt a profound sense of relief that I chose to move to Israel from Canada and have children here. Because they are growing up in Israel, they have been spared that specific distortion. They know exactly who they are: they know where they belong, and they are unapologetically proud of that identity. For them, the connection to this land isn't a political slogan or a "nuanced" debate. It is simply the truth of their lives.
You are right that the real work is deciding how our children see themselves before the world decides for them. Moving here was my own act of reinvention, but seeing my teenagers grow up clear, unconfused, and proud is the greatest reward of that journey.
Thank you for articulating the stakes so clearly. It is a reminder that while the world may try to "cancel" the brand of Israel, our children’s self-worth is the only metric that truly matters.
I can’t imagine how hard it is to bring up your children in these times.
The Jewish people throughout history have gone through unimaginable trials. They have always come back stronger. I truly believe this will happen again. You must always be proud to be Jewish, proud of your wonderful country and heritage. So many people believe in you. 🙏🙏
Thank you for your support in those difficult times. But what many people do not realize is that the deligitimatîg of the Jews is just the beginning of the story. All Western countries are under attack.

Very Interesting...
The classic battle between Good and Evil; I see that in all things!

And so do their parents and communities!!
They can only do to your children WHAT YOU let them do!
Fight Back!

So well said. My mother became a forever Republican because she witnessed FDR send that boatload of Jews back to Nazi Germany to be slaughtered.
And "Nazis-in-schmatas" is priceless and perfect. I'll be using that one for sure.
The St. Louis will forever be my nations' shame; how could we send those Jewish families back to their deaths!
Never again, means NEVER AGAIN!
If they ever try to persecute Jewish citizens and round them up...
They will have to kill this old US Army soldier first... and I don't die easy!
I appreciate your concern that our children remain Jewish and learn to be proud of their heritage. In particular, I was moved by your comment that, “Perhaps 2026 is not the year we ask how the world sees Israel. Perhaps it is the year we decide how our children will see themselves, before others decide for them.” This is the focus of my work: to nurture the inner essence of every Jew and help all of us learn what it means to be a decedent of Avraham, Issac and Jacob, chosen by God to make this world into a home for God, and the tools available to us to accomplish our mission.
I wrote David Rising as a novel in order to help readers understand the social, emotional, and spiritual journey of a successful businessman who sensed there was more to life and discovers what it means to live as a Jew, making each discovery as he overcomes life’s obstacles with the wisdom of our people, one challenge at a time.

I pasted the back cover blurb below:
DAVID RISING
A Jewish Lion Awakens to His True Strength
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST READ
“Excellent book. Could not put it down. Finished in one reading.”
Steven Schlamowitz, MD, FAAP
David Marks appears to have everything: a Harvard MBA, a Manhattan real estate empire, a glass corner office. Yet his marriage is thin, his daughter barely knows him, and a quiet pressure in his chest never lets up.
One sleepless night pushes him through the doors of a small pre-dawn minyan. There, he encounters an older operating system for life: the Torah his ancestors lived by, and a hidden algorithm beneath the noise begins to reveal itself.
As deals collapse and banks tighten, David is forced to choose between the tools of the nations and the tools of his ancestors. The story follows his journey from anxiety and control to a life guided by trust, mitzvot, and a relationship with HaShem that reshapes everything.
This is a modern parable for Jews who feel successful on paper but empty inside. It is for anyone who senses that Jewish identity holds more strength, clarity, and protection than they were ever taught.
Thank you. Excited to read your novel. בהצלחה! כל הכבוד 💙🪬💙
Thank you. May it bring you strength and joy.
NO CHILD IN SCHOOL.
Start there, our children must not be poisoned in body, mind and spirit. At this point there is no excuse, schools are sick indoctrination camps. Self-hatred has been branded into us with the intention to weaken and enslave our people. At this point srnding our children into 'schools' is child abuse.
Decades ago I homschooled my children, it was not 'popular' then. What I am seeing today is as horrific as the death camps.
I made the right decision then and I would do it again. The world is sick with antisemitism and cruelty to children is in the mix for every child. Society has accepted woke as norm and JEW hatred as fashionable, how utterly vile. Homeschooling works and JEWISH pride must be restored, nurtured and upheld. What is roaming in the streets are the same demons... now they are nazis-in-schmatas,
noone should hand their beloved child over to antisemites.
After Modeh Ani in the dawn....
here is a prayer for you to say with your child....
"THANK YOU G-D for having made me a JEW; THANK YOU G-D Ffor having made me be birn a JEW; THANK YOU G-D for giving me the strength to bear witness to YOUR GLORY!" -RL
Well written and powerful. Thank you.
This didn’t happen overnight. It came to light during Obama’s 2008 campaign and became increasingly focal. And still, 85 percent of American Jews voted Dem. Trump gained Jewish voters who had enough in 2016 and more in 2024, but still , the Jews go back to the now obviously no longer anything Democrat but for abortion and a single outspoken seated Democrat, John Fetterman.
Voting D is now voting for unbridled Communism, Islamism, Nazism , Fascism and extinctionism. Euphemistically labelled “ Globalism”.
I’m not a social conservative, but the now Communist/Extinctionist “ Dhimmicrat”platform is about racism, antisemitism, anti-humanism, anti-Americanism, anti-sovereignty, anti-family, anti-individualism, anti-reproduction under the guise of DEI LGBTQRS12345666 militant transactivism, anti-white, anti-hetero, anti-Hindu, Buddhist , individualism, freedom and prosperity. The left is a promoter of a global Holocaust of all things living and every Western norm.
And the so-called Jews who are funding and support it are the most vile of all. And there are an abundance of them. I don’t wish them well. I don’t want to be associated, affiliated or identified with them. And they aren’t solely in America and the West. There is a large faction in Israel. They don’t like Ben Gvir or Bibi? Fine. I don’t like Ben Gvir and have lost respect for Bibi. But to what end? I don’t want to answer that.
We left our synagogue in 2010. Stopped funding so many “ Jewish “ orgs. These bastards are leaving us with nothing . But they are getting nothing from me other than whatever power I have to sink them.
Bibi should have left the UN . Israel should have done so in 1973. Should have told the U.S. to fuck off. Taken Begin’s cue. But they didn’t. They would have been respected. It would have been a wake up call to many others. Instead of continuing to build settlements, Bibi should have first demolished the tunnels. Banned Soros, prosecuted Ehud Barak. He had ample opportunities to do so. He didn’t. He should have followed Trump’s lead. He didn’t. He chimed in with the left to trash Trump, force him to accept the election results… even though Trump did the exact opposite when Bibi faced the same. And then Bibi pandered, slobbered over Biden and reaped the rewards. Oct 7
To be an Israeli that is anti-Zionism is tantamount to an American who is anti-Constitutional. It’s a suicidal mission.
This was the behaviour of Jewish organisations' Real-politik in liberal times. But Now Times have changed, and the Hard Right Zionism of Israel as she defends herself has shown to be in the right. For Nazism and the Hatred against Jews from the Far Left really did come for us dressed in their alliance with Islam. All monitored and proven.
You ask, “to what end” regarding Netanyahu?
First—Netanyahu must be prosecuted and removed from power. We have endured the worst leader at the worst moment in our history.
Under his leadership, Hamas was treated as a strategic asset—a tool to weaken the Palestinian Authority with whom Netanyahu did not want to deal—and avoid a political solution. His governments approved the transfer of Qatari* cash into Hamas’s hands, millions of dollars that enabled Hamas to entrench itself, build tunnels, stockpile weapons, and prepare the barbaric atrocities of October 7.
*Qatari money has long funded the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas, while also underwriting Al Jazeera and a broader global network of Islamist movements and soft-power influence.
That ecosystem of funding and messaging has helped normalize extremist narratives on Western campuses and in public spaces — including at Columbia University, UCLA, McGill, the University of Toronto, NYU, and SOAS London, among others.
Under the banner of “activism,” we have seen streets blocked in Toronto, Montreal, New York, London, and Paris; smoke bombs and vandalism at university buildings; intimidation of Jewish students and faculty; and open glorification of terrorist violence.
This is not peaceful protest. It is ideological radicalization expressed through coercion and, at times, violence — and innocent Jewish and non-Jewish lives have already paid the price.
Funding sources matter. Ideological networks matter. Pretending these dynamics are unrelated is willful blindness.
Leadership means responsibility. Netanyahu has taken none.
Ben Gvir—a convicted criminal and extremist—was elevated to power, given control over policing, and has overseen the creation of terror policing, the intimidation of peaceful demonstrators, including former hostages and hostage families demanding accountability treated without regard, respect, or accountability. At the same time, professionals were sidelined while ideologues and radicals were empowered.
Netanyahu’s coalition attacked the judiciary, undermined the rule of law, and pushed Israel toward autocracy—threatening the very foundation of the only democracy, the only liberal, and Zionist state in the Middle East. Brilliant genius Ben Gurion, z”l, a visionary leader, widely regarded as the primary national founder and first Prime Minister of the State of Israel would be appalled. A country built on “live and let live” has been dragged toward religious coercion and authoritarian rule. Not the ideals upon which Israel was established.
And after October 7—after the gravest, most horrific failure in Israel’s history—Netanyahu has refused responsibility, blocked an independent commission of enquiry, and maneuvered to control the narrative rather than face the truth.
We need an independent commission of enquiry for the future security and wellbeing of עם ישראל, and we need to learn from the gravest of devastating mistakes that has cost us so many beautiful lives.
This is not leadership.
It is self-preservation at the nation’s expense.
Taking responsibility is the first moral act after catastrophe. Netanyahu has chosen evasion, blame-shifting, and delay instead.
Israel deserves accountability.
Israel deserves truth.
And Israel deserves leadership worthy of its people.
I agree with you , but it’s not only Netanyahu. The problem is a clusterfuck power struggle of corruption and hubris.
This is hardly limited to Israel, but like America, the focus globally is invariably on Israel and there are traitors within , left and right.
Nobody has done more damage to Israel than the U.S. don’t kid yourself. I’ve taken notes for decades. We have interfered in Israel’s elections, courts, internal policies and fomented chaos. Your “ protests” have been funded and organized by the U.S. since Clinton, but never like we’ve seen under Biden. Obama was horrid… Biden was hideous. And the Israeli who should have been locked up for life is Ehud Barak. That he hasn’t been is on Bibi.
Ditto not having collapsed the tunnels long ago when he was popular.
I once had the ultimate respect for Bibi. He lost me completely the minute he publicly congratulated Biden on “ winning” the joke of an “ election” in 2020. It hadn’t been officially called, it wasn’t remotely legitimate and Bibi’s pandering was despicable. “ You’ve always been such a good friend to Israel”. What a fucking pathetic lie. When Biden extorted Ukraine, witholding the 2 billion unless the prosecutor was fired was bullshit. It wasn’t about the Burisma thing. It was coercion to sign the Obama crafted anti-Israel UN Resolution. Biden needed 4 signatures to get it passed. Ukraine had always abstained. If that wasn’t shitty enough, Biden then called NZ, who had also abstained. Then he threatened Senegal, who was just about to sign a historic alliance, normalizing relations with Israel. The threat was to sign on to the resolution or aid would be cut off. That was a crushing blow to Israel. Now Biden only needed one more signature. He couldn’t get that last one… so he did the unspeakable. Went to Maduro and lifted sanctions in exchange for signing. Bibi KNEW. With all that, he made that disgusting , gushing pronouncement. Apparently, there’s a case of amnesia relating to Biden’s once infamous, disgusting treatment of Begin by Biden, pounding his fist on the table, threatening Begin with cutting off sending Israel arms. When they were facing yet another massive attack. Begin’s response was that of a real leader. The famous,” I am not a Jew on bent knee” . It was so perfect that Pat Moynihan walked over to Begin, placed a hand on his shoulder, leaned over ( Moynihan was 6’5”), took his hand , congratulated him with warmth and respect. An epic moment.Moynihan, a Dem, showed the world how small Biden was. Moynihan will also be remembered for his epic UN speech, calling out the vile antisemitic organization for what it was.
But Bibi fucked over Israel and the wonderful Nobel Laureate, Michael Levitt by selling out to Bourla /Fauci on COVID with the vaccines. That should have been the tipping point.
He went farther with his congratulations of Biden. Fucking over Trump by announcing he needed to step aside and then condemning him for challenging the election results. Seems he forgot how Trump went to bat for him when he was facing the same. Seems Bibi had forgotten everything the Trump admin did for Israel.
Bibi trashed his son for calling out Soros. That was stunning. Disgraceful. He called out his own advisor ( blanked out on the name) who rightfully told Blinken that the U.S. , given its record in Afghanistan, Iraq ,Iran , Egypt ( Morsi/MB) , Syria and Lebanon should not be within 5000 miles of the region when it came to giving military edicts. He was absolutely correct. And Bibi made him apologize.
And then there was the court reform battle . When Biden excoriated Netanyahu publicly. Bibi was furious, rightfully. Yet when Roe was overturned, Bibi excoriated the U.S.. and it was none of his business. Particularly given that the greatest support Israel received was from the very people who are devoutly pro-life. I didn’t support the overturn, but I’m an American citizen. This is what Bibi does. I was shocked that Trump didn’t tell Bibi to go eff himself after winning 2024.
But nothing shocked me more than what has been seemingly ignored the world over. The insane “ Court Reform” protest led by Ehud Barak calling for IDF reservists to not show up if called.Seditio
I disagree. The Jewish People have a history of weaking themselves by attacking their leaders and leadership. Netanyahu has done well given the circumstances Israel repeatedly finds Herself in: Beset by enemies without, both Islamists and Arabs as well as Liberals in The West, and fractures amongst the Populace within. He has fought and won in Gaza. Stop attacking the leadership. He is a Hard-Right Zionist who keeps the religious nutters on-side but at bay. He has done well, so stop attacking the leadership.
Nothing like seeing a nice Jewish girl wearing a keffiyeh. May they all marry devout hamas supporters and learn what Phyllis Chesler learned many decades ago
GOD BLESS ISREAL AND ITS PEOPLE
It’s easy to be an armchair critic
אל תט את חברך עד שלא תגיע למקומו
Do not judge your friend unless you’ve spent a mile in his shoes
Amen!
Say it again!
Perhaps we should all take advantage of our Second Amendment (USA). I plan to check out Lox and Loaded.
I am a firearms and unarmed combat instructor; I do this to help people and generally do not charge. I also work within a militia that was formed to defend the Abrahamic religions. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.
We must stand ready to defend ourselves; Jews and Christians will come under increasing persecution.
My life has turned a corner tonight.
Last week I was notified that if I entered England that I would be arrested for inciting violence against the Muslims! Free speech has finally died in England...
Then tonight I received a certified letter from a company that contracted me (whose name I won't mention but sounds like "Fokker Next Gen"...Oops) that they are terminating my collaboration on production process engineering. They claim that my social media presence shines the company in a bad light! I think that fearing to speak the truth is worse!
Guess I won't be going to Europe next year!
That just means I have more time to spend in Israel next year!
I will not be silenced regarding the danger of the Muslims, the Evil Cult of Islam (ECI)!
I will defend the Jewish Citizens of my nation (USA) with my life!
I will gladly give my life in defense of the Holy Land and Greater Israel!
Because this is what it will take to defend Israel and God's plan for its people!
אנחנו חזקים
אנחנו אמיצים
אנחנו מקריבים את חיינו לאלוהים!
We are Sword of God Militia!
This is a powerful, sobering reflection. It captures the shift from loud hostility to the "quiet cancellation" that feels so pervasive right now.
As a mother to three teenagers here in Israel, your words resonated with me on a very personal level. I often think about the "invisible script" that Jewish youth in the Diaspora are being forced to follow: the pressure to be the "conditional Jew" or to pass a loyalty test just to belong.
Reading this, I felt a profound sense of relief that I chose to move to Israel from Canada and have children here. Because they are growing up in Israel, they have been spared that specific distortion. They know exactly who they are: they know where they belong, and they are unapologetically proud of that identity. For them, the connection to this land isn't a political slogan or a "nuanced" debate. It is simply the truth of their lives.
You are right that the real work is deciding how our children see themselves before the world decides for them. Moving here was my own act of reinvention, but seeing my teenagers grow up clear, unconfused, and proud is the greatest reward of that journey.
Thank you for articulating the stakes so clearly. It is a reminder that while the world may try to "cancel" the brand of Israel, our children’s self-worth is the only metric that truly matters.
