Great article. I'm so sick and tired of the world's "virtue signaling."

What an excellent article. The West will eat its own and destroy itself as it has been doing, but it is now up to maximum speed. I used to tell my students never to mistake my kindness for stupidity or weakness and that is precisely what the West has shown to its enemies and they are laughing at us. The only difference is the West's "kindness" is actually stupidity and weakness.

What has happened to the U.S? We mistake weakness for moral tolerance, self-hate and victimhood for virtue. We need to straighten up. I DO think that most of the people of the West support Israel (although obviously not the governments) -- judging from the popular votes for Israel during Eurovision. Europe, and the U.S., better do something about Muslim immigration and fast.

I agree, it's not the lack of support from the people, it's the clowns in our government and the west in general. What's happened is DEI and all drank the Kool Aid. Guilty for the sins they committed when THEY were the colonizers. I believe as Nachum Kaplan and other guest writers have said, the West has never understood the culture and values of the Middle East and operate as though they will do what the West wants them to do.

Yes, 100%. I'll tell you, as a white girl (68 years old) born and bred in the U.S., I do NOT feel guilty. Common sense, common ethics and morality ALL tell us that you are guilty for what you do, no one else. I can feel empathy for Native Americans and Africans who were brought here as slaves. We all need to understand the horrors. BUT: 1. Everyone is responsible for making the best life they can, looking forward, not back. 2. I think the West is a damn good place to live; I wouldn't want to be black in Africa these days, especially under Arab rule where slavery is rampant, not to mention the slaughtering of Christians, etc. etc. So, history has been tough on most of us, including poor / working class whites. Sorry I'm rambling. Thanks for your response.

No, you're not rambling. I am born and bred in the US as well, and of course, slavery was a stain on our history, as it was in many countries in history. As you say, being black in Africa under Arab rule is horrible and a death sentence. Where's the outrage for THAT, or the Kabala system in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere still in practice today? As for the US, there's no outrage that Native Americans were given back land that was useless, so much so that many reservations have to have water shipped in by trucks, a very costly practice. You and I could go on and on, but it's TikTok addicts who were mentioned in Joshua's article who need to know, understand, and connect the dots. Something they simply can't do and don't want to do. I'm on the same page with you.

Didn’t know that detail about water on reservations. A little outrage for that would be nice. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

The DEI illegal alien powered Biden edition U.S. Army Corps of Engjneers can’t even assemble a relatively simple pier to deliver aid without it breaking up and floating away. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere for the genius efforts at the Ivy League millionaire Commie powered US State Dept. to “secure” the Middle East with Iran and its murderous proxy lunatics.

Israel needs to kick ass and ignore the political machinations of countries that care not for its existence. The faster the better. If they’re going to hate Jews no matter what we do, and ignore the truth, it’s better to be feared than victimized again.

Thank you so much for this! You have given us the real truth, as opposed to the media outlets in the States and Europe. We need to know the truth! My heart is with the IDF and the hostages!

None of this surprises me.

1. "Before the pier recently broke and started to sink in the Mediterranean Sea, Palestinians had already stolen 70 percent of the food that was sent in and complained that they did not need it,..." I'm confused. I thought Hamas was stealing the food and selling it on the black market. Is that what this means? Also, the pier is sinking? Is there anything we can do right anymore? 2. "... the ignition of a nearby storage of stolen gas Hamas had embedded in a populated area." Stolen from who? 3. "Even the Roman Empire took at least 200 years to decline and fall." Well then I figure the U.S. has about 150 years to go.

Yes, Hamas is stealing the food and selling some of it on the black market, But so are ordinary Palestinians in Gaza, though the distinction between ordinary Palestinians and Hamas is not clear cut, given that most Palestinians support Hamas, even if not all are full-fledged party members. No, there is little that the US does right anymore, and especially the US military which has been eviscerated by woke CRT and gender ideology. The gas was stolen by Hamas from the aid convoys which brought the gas in to Gaza, just as they stole the food. Let us not forget how UNRWA and Gaza are bedfellows and much the same can be said of international aid. Why the US would want to spend tons of money to bring aid into Gaza when Gaza invaded Israel, murdered, raped and burned civilians old and young is beyond me, but points to the stupidity of the current administration in Washington who cannot distinguish friend from foe. I doubt the United States has 150 years to go. The coming collapse will occur in a much shorter time frame. As you suggest, we can't do anything right anymore. Did you see Victor Davis Hanson's The End of Everything?

Thank you thank you for taking the time to explain. Why indeed are we spending tons of money on Gaza? I do think NATO is a good thing to keep around, so I worry about a Trump administration dismantling that. Problem is, I don't trust anyone right now, Dem or Rep. They are all in it for themselves, it seems (perhaps with a few exceptions here and there).

Johnathan Cahn also is a Christian Rabbi who speaks of the End Times. However, a 150 years from now is a far stretch. Honestly, I don't know if the US will exist 20 years from now. Take a look around and think of everything that is turned upside down. Do you think all of this hatred/chaos can last much longer?

He's Jewish. He also believes that when Jesus returns that it will be His 2nd coming, which is how the Christians believe according to the Word. I have no idea what your first statement is supposed to mean? Today is a great day to rejoice for Jesus Christ! Have a blessed day!
