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!

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.

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.

How wonderful to read about your experience. You succeeded in expressing what many Jews are unable to. Welcome!
