Without the Jewish people, the gentiles would not have their Jesus, without the Bible, we'd not have G-d's Word. All of history and truth was written down by our Creator through Jewish people. To hate the Jewish people is to hate the Lord. History has proven the promises to Israel. Bless them and you'll be blessed, curse them and you'll be cursed. They've blessed me all of my life, and I will forever bless them. Pray for the peace of Israel and VICTORY!

Wow, is all that I can say. Finally, a realistic presentation and answer to our everlasting predicament. Enough with the “tikum olam”, it always starts at home. We have an obligation to take care of each other and to stop pandering to a world that cannot seem to accommodate us. We just sat down to Seders last week where we all read from the Haggadah, a text thousands of years old . A story which mentions Israel over one hundred times . This is our truth. We must stand strong and proud, shoulder to shoulder to protect our country.

Yes! I agree with the author that "Israel should pursue the war in Gaza until there is no Hamas left standing. Announce that the Palestinians will never have a state on Jewish territory, and Jewish territory includes Gaza, Judea, and Samaria." As far as I'm concerned, our biggest opposition to this comes from our own people who want Israel to be America's 51st state; dependent on US largesse and going along with every half-baked "peace process" that serves US political interests while weakening Israel.

Unfortunately today’s leaders of free world who include some Jews in very high places, are anti Zionists! Even though they claim otherwise. Can anyone name politician who’s true friend of Israel in the last 30-35 years? That’s right! Trump! Many don’t want to hear it and are in denial but if you analyze his record you’ll find: canceling Obama’s lifting sanctions on Iran, bombing Syria and Tora Bora, assassinating Islamic terrorists leaders, making US energy independent again, moving capital to Jerusalem just to name a few. What did we hear from terrorists in response to that? Crickets!

The bastard Biden won't confiscate the assets of communist China which is buying up American farmland, sending fentanyl to kill American kids among other acts of war against the US, nor will he sanction Iran. But he bullies 4 Jewish farmers in Judea and Samaria. What a vile coward.

You have triggered every emotion I had while reading this brilliant essay. You are a force to be reckoned with and we need more like you speaking out, instead of the silence or quiet whispers, so afraid to offend the Palestinians, Hamas, and the rest of the Arab world. This cat and mouse game with the US and Israel isn't helping anyone. Our universities are going insane, Israel has hesitated over and over again to go into Rafah, our government with Biden and clowns in charge don't know which direction they're coming from or going to. Thank you so much, for yours is a voice to be heard, loud and clear.

Thank you. Quite brilliantly put. And yes, Jews need to leave the Stalinist Party which has become the Jew hating party as well. Hamas must be destroyed. Israel must have total and complete victory. Pray for Benjamin Netanyahu for strength, wisdom and VICTORY from the Lord!

Oh that our House politicians had been waving an Israeli flag instead of the Ukrainian flag.

"Tight control. No voting rights." A perfect recipe for isolation and disaster.

Actually, it is a perfect recipe for peace and quiet. You would be surprised how the rest of the world will start doing more business with Israel once the country shows it will not tolerate continuous attacks on its citizenry and country and makes sure that the Palestinians no longer mouth off in the world's media. Not that Israel has a choice to do anything but conquer Gaza, eliminate the terrorists and re-educate the Gazans who wish to remain. The Ottoman empire survived centuries of predicted demise by showing firmness to trouble-makers. Time for Jews to get a grip even if the western world wants to commit suicide.

It is the peace and quiet of the graveyard, I am afraid. You can't be serious to mention the stagnant, corrupt and cruel Ottoman empire as an example for dynamic, democratic and fair Israel?

If democracies cannot defend themselves when threatened they will collapse quicker than the Ottoman empire. The West is well on its way to committing suicide. No reason or Israel to follow. Never Again is more than a slogan. As for the graveyard, that is what Israel has been ever since Oslo as Palestinians murder Israelis on their streets. Time to put an end to that. No self-respecting government would allow that to go on.

I have a question. I am always hearing about the 'illegal settlements' on the West Bank. Can you explain why you are saying these are legal settlements? I do not know the history enough. TY!!

When Israel signed the Oslo Accords the territory west of the Jordan river conquered in 1967 by Israel in a defensive war was divided into three areas, A, B and C. In area C Israel has total control, in B shared and in C the PA is supposed to be in control. So settlements in area C are totally in conformity with the Oslo accords which the Palestinian Authority has broken time and again and itself threatened to tear up. However, what you call the West Bank Jews call Judea and Samaria. As Jews are the only aboriginal people with a long historic claim to Judea and Samaria, they have right of settlement everywhere there. Also, their aboriginal rights coupled with the relevant international treaties following World War ! make it clear that Jewish settlement with a view to establishing a sovereign Jewish state in the territory controlled by Britain west of the Jordan river was to occur. And lastly, the war of Independence which the Jews successfully fought in 1948 against Palestinians and five Arab states, the latter aided by the British, coupled with the 1967 war repulsing Jordan's illegal aggression against Israel gives them legal right to Judea and Samaria by the laws of war. Jordan had previously illegally occupied Judea and Samaria, which is why it is called the West Bank - the west bank of Jordan. But the same idiots who run kangaroo courts like the ICC and the antisemitic BBC keep repeating the lie that the settlements are illegal. In fact, most of the gibberish about Israel violating international law is spouted by people who are truly ignorant of international law and of which international law is relevant to Israel's case.

This essay should be distributed to the Knesset and the PM, in Hebrew.

Sorry, I made a typo. The PA controls area A.

There are no innocent civilians in Gaza. Take a look at Palestinian Media Watch (palwatch.org) and you will get a small idea of what goes on in Gaza. Or read some history of the conflict. I suggest Ehe Kedourie if you can find his books. You may wind up in hell, but no need to drag your country or Israel down with you.
