This is not the first I have heard from a former dedicated Jew Hater, but it's the most well thought out and intelligent.

You have brightened my day. Thanks!

Dear Rawan,

I can only imagine what your willingness to seek, and speak, the truth has cost you and your family. I'm deeply grateful to you for sharing your experiences and observations, so elegantly and directly, at that. You words mean more than I can say, at a time when global antisemitism has reached a pitch not seen since the 1930s . May you and yours remain safe and happy. You are a light in the world. Thank you.

Jannat, ‘Heaven through martyrdom’, has its Western Analogue, described as ‘the old old lie’: ‘Dulce et Decorum Est, Pro Patria Mori’ . This was used by The State to kill millions here in The West too. In the hands of the ideological Religious psychopath, such horrific psychology becomes the actual method used to keep monstrous Leaders in political power, and becomes the way these people take control and hold power for millennia. But we are not a mass. People are individuals. This is one of the real lessons of true Modernity. Thank you Rawan for speaking out. This takes real courage, such as you have shown.

Rawan, I just want to say how much I admire the courage it took for you to stand up, speak the truth as you see it, and challenge the beliefs you were raised with. That is never easy, especially when there can be personal consequences for doing so.

Speaking candidly, if it wasn't for non-Jews like yourself throughout history who stood beside the Jewish people, defended us, sheltered us, spoke up for us, and refused to go along with the crowd, we might not have survived as a people.

Thank you for your courage, your honesty, and for using your voice to tell your story.

“the infrastructure of the “cause” — its funders, its ideologues, its loudest champions — has never been interested in Palestinian statehood. It has been interested in Jewish elimination.”

Well, that, and the obscene enrichment of its leaders.
