As much as if humanly possible Israel should accelerate its drive toward self-reliance and assume that it has NO friends. Yes, the US may be helpful but when push comes to shove only Israeli actions will matter regarding its survival. The Holocaust/Shoah was forgotten FOR Israel long ago and the sooner that is realized then a new paradigm can commence. Wish this weren't so but as the kids used to say "get real."
Christianity and Christendom are also the descendants of Israel - we have a duty not only to save ourselves, but to save all of the children of Israel.
That is the covenant that the west was built on, and it’s the covenant that will keep Jews safe.
Great historical sentiments but Israel, unfortunately, is on its own. Yes, Trump is definitely on their side but remember just last year? President Vegetable and his cronies didn't care much for Israel and it showed.
In fact, once the Socialist Democrats get into power, they will be the enemy of Israel, supporting the terror groups, Iran, and probably China who is quietly very busy involved in support for Hamas as well as other terror groups against Israel.
Wow, this is the most cogent, clear and concise statement of the current situation for Jews I have ever come across, thank you. And it helps me understand why yesterday, when the living hostages were returned, I still felt overwhelming anxiety, not relieved by watching the videos of reunions or the replays of Trump's speeches and statements. Or triumphant Bibi at the podium, etc. It didn't do much to quesll the sense of dread I experienced.
"The next October 7th will not come out of Gaza; it will come out of a world that believes it is moral to erase the Jewish state."
Last year JD Vance warned of an Islamic UK with nuclear weapons.
I have been concerned about this scenario for a number of years. Pointed it out to the UK Defence Secreatary. The Ministry of Defence replied. In complete denial of the problem.
The UK, not immediately but in around 2 decades, will be a very significant threat to Israel. Islamic government, with deployable nuclear missiles. See:
So let’s start building the strategy, infrastructure, funding, coalitions to win the battle. I’m game to join a group to put the best minds to it. It’ll take an army, not a village.
All of our existing Jewish, organizations, funds, PACs, etc. that are accused of “running” US government have failed us. Millions of contributions were wasted on “feel good” clubs, even supporting “coexist” causes, always reacting and not acting. The infrastructure and membership is there; what needs to change is the leadership. The change must start internally; think candidate Trump changing the Republican Party and not starting a 3rd party.
Remarquably lucid. That is also my point of view. The real war for our survival is just starting. But it is also a war facing the whole Western world to some extent though they will not be facing extermination, due to demographics. But they will have to face submission and the future elites are already being brainwashed in that direction without even being aware of it.
NO TRUER WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN! Sadly every word you wrote expresses my sentiments to the T! I could write a book in response to all you’ve written but I believe that every Jew who’s awake believes the same thing. This so called “Peace in Israel and the Middle East” is truly the “quiet before the storm”! Next time and there will be a next time if another day never comes, THAT DAY WILL when the entire world will converge on Israel like a storm no one has ever seen! My question to you is HOW DO WE AS JEWS FIGHT?
Israel as a moral beacon of truth must give way to Israel a beacon of strength. The Islamic propagandists have hijacked the morality card and their numbers diminish any chance of it ever being in Israeli hands ever again. The holocaust is a biblical story that no longer holds any sway. Economic and militarism strength are Israel’s only salvation and liberal Jews must learn to embrace these ideals. Being a light the world might have guided Jews in the past, but it’s time to take a new morality path because survival as a Jewish state takes precedence over being the world’s nice guys.
We’re proud when Israel is the first country to send aid to countries all over the world when there are disasters. Although the motivation for this is noble, I think it comes across as Israel begging to be acknowledged as a good and principled citizen of the world community. It pains me to say this, but maybe it’s time to stop. “Shoin g’nick.” Jews and Israel will never receive the accolades and respect they deserve.
I've thought that for years. The Tikkun Olam motivation will be our downfall. I learned this working in an inter city school. The "soft", nice kids who couldn't also fight for themselves were doomed. E.g., we need to apply the death penalty in Israel - our failure to do so gives terrorists a bargaining chip and marks us as weak.
Hamas will never give up its weapons. Internecine violence began almost immediately after the IDF's withdrawal. The BBC has footage of Hamas executing 8 members of the Dughmuch clan (which they actually reported on .... imagine that.). We have months maybe, not years.
Wonderful call for action. Like any entrepreneurial effort, I suggest we copy what we've seen that works well: our own version of Turning Point (not content but structure), coordinated podcasts and videos, encourage our folks to attend school board and other public meetings, run for local and statewide elections. build up the reach and influence of pro-Jewish Zionist think tanks. The author is correct in observing that we are years behind in this effort; we don't have Qatari-level funding, so we'll just have to be very smart about moving forward. We can do this!
The first is to re establish Israel’s reputation, which has been hugely eroded by the conflict arising as a result of
October 7 massacre by Hamas. The propaganda spouted by the Islamist jihad cult, echoed by Al Jazeera, and many other western media channels, has been propagated by the likes of the UN, NGOs and liberal western democracies.
This has caused hate against Jews to rise to a record level. This is the first battle that needs to be fought.
The second battle is against the spread of islam to western countries and the USA, which I fear is too late.
Only last week London’s Mayor said that the expression ‘from the river to the sea …’ needs to be taken in context, and he did not think it was anti semitic. He is clearly deluded.
With the rise of Muslim migration to Europe and their ever rising numbers, countries like Britain, Belgium and France are almost past the point of no return.
New York’s possible election of Mamdani should be a warning to all.
This article is true. There are only 19 million Jews in the world and half of them are woke,
left wing, ignorant and anti Zionist. The only leader world wide who supports Israel is Trump. I tried to explain to one of these Harvard educated Jewish professionals that if Israel is defeated no one would take in the Jews. They wouldn’t take them when Hitler was exterminating half of Europes Jewish population. They wouldn’t take the remnants of the concentration camps. That’s why Israel was created after world war 11 because again no one wanted the Jews. Does anyone think it will be any different if Israel were taken over by its hostile neighbors? Where would eight million Jewish Israelis go? Israel has to start working on its public relations image. Jews in the diaspora have to be taught the truth of their own history. Left wing Jews in Israel and the Diaspora need to understand the real meaning of Tikun Olam. First we need to look out for ourselves. The Torah and history teaches us that! Also we must show a united front. Throughout history we have been responsible for our own destruction because of constant divisions, misconceptions and Jewish egos. If Lapid and Bennet had made up a coalition with Netanyahu we wouldn’t have this terrible divide in Israel as we have in the US where the majority of Jews read the NYT like it’s their Bible, believe its twisted interpretations of the news and still hate Trump!!
Your piece is too pessimistic Guy. In America where opinion matters most, we have won the argument in many sections of society there. Here in the UK we monitors have shown the real re-formation of The Nazi Party and their alliance with the Islamists. This is designed once again by The Nazis to fool the useful idiots in The Left, who do not actually matter. Yes, the process is painful to go through. But everything I have said is true and proven. Militarily Israel is vital to keep The West Free. This is fully understood by the educated classes. The opposition of easy hatred of the ‘woke’ brigades ranged against us is seen through by patient argument by us Zionists. We will win because, against renewed Nazism, and Islamist hatred, we are morally in the right.

It should, but it also can’t.

BINGO!

If any US citizens are reading this, please do the actions as described in the "IMPORTANT TASK FOR US CITIZENS" section. Thank you.
The best jokes are rooted in truth, and Vance was only half joking.
There’s a bigger fight than just Israel’s and the west is sleeping through the whole thing.
Not all of us.
So let’s start building the strategy, infrastructure, funding, coalitions to win the battle. I’m game to join a group to put the best minds to it. It’ll take an army, not a village.
Spot on!
All of our existing Jewish, organizations, funds, PACs, etc. that are accused of “running” US government have failed us.

Israel will survive and thrive.
This is because its young people on 7 October, 2023 and ever since have been magnificent.
Have no fear Israel will be in good hands for at least the next 100 years.

Guy, here's a link to the list of all American Jewish Organizations.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/american-jewish-organizations
Why don't you send each and every one of them a copy of this post?
There are two battles that need to be fought.
The first is to re establish Israel’s reputation, which has been hugely eroded by the conflict arising as a result of
October 7 massacre by Hamas. The propaganda spouted by the Islamist jihad cult, echoed by Al Jazeera, and many other western media channels, has been propagated by the likes of the UN, NGOs and liberal western democracies.

Moral antibodies of the Holocaust are no.more. Brilliant. Where the F are Spielberg and Yentl, perhaps the most well known jews of our era

More like 16 million Jews.
