I bet you won’t see this mentioned in any of the MSM outlets? To them everything is the fault of Israel and many of them can’t even bring themselves to call Hamas/Hezbollah terrorists. They really are a disgrace. They gaslight the public on a daily basis.
And yet, the US government continues to do all it can to promote the Iran deal and to form an alliance with Iran. Why? I just dont get it. Do they want Iran to be the lead country in the Middle East over Democratic Israel? Why are they not taking advantage of Israel's military gains and working with Israel to destroy Irans nuclear capability? Joshua, I would love an explanation on this, i really would.
I don't have any Lebanese friends that I know of but I do have 3 Iranian friends. They vociferously support Israel, they despise immensely the Iranian regime. Its only 3 people but their voices are louder than some of my Jewish friends.
The worst and most disappointing player in the Middle East dynamic is the United States. They could be doing so much and yet they have time and time again, done so little.
My biggest wish is that Trump wins the election in Nov. I try to spread the word as much as I can but it tough as hell fighting mainstream media.
In fact, I am going to end with a challenge. I challenge every writer, author and essayist on FOJ to tell us who they support in the US election and why. Have one article where you all endorse someone and why. Don't care if you can vote or not, just want to know your position. The large Jewish organizations don't have the freakin guts to do that .... they are cowards in the first order. I think this election is that important where playing neutral is IMHO a sign of cowardice.
Very funny Jerry! Do you want me to be majorally (made up word) cancelled by everyone I know, except my husband and Joshua? I think a lot of Jews will secretly vote for Trump. That’s all I will say at this time.
1. Israel accept Hamas as the de facto government of Gaza and equal negotiating partner to be listened to and its demands accommodated;
2. Israel accept Hezbollah as the de facto government of Gaza and equal negotiating partner to be listened to and its demands accommodated;
3. Israel accept a "Two State Solution" in which Israel will cede the heart of its sovereign ancestral territory, Judea and Samaria in acceptance of the establishment of a (third, after Jordan) state on its borders.
4. Ignore Hamas, Hezbollah's, Palestine Islamic Jihad's and PA's intent to destroy Israel and eradicate its Jews enshrined in their charters and acted out in their ongoing intifadas as mere political rhetoric.
As Winston Churchill astutely noted, "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing — after they've tried everything else."
Thanks for this detailed history, Joshua. We in Vancouver have been blessed with enthusiastic and much-appreciated support from our local Persian expat community.
Yet UNWRA is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize 🤣 the same prize that was, last year, won by Narges Mohammadi, who is currently imprisoned, for her work against the oppression of Iranian women. 🤷🏻♀️

Legacy media is awful. If 9/11 happened today, it would take them less than 24h to blame the Jews. I”m not being huperbolic, I’m dead serious.

So, Pepsi or Coke ..... what will it be?

Re the US's Pax Americana whose principles are:
1. Israel accept Hamas as the de facto government of Gaza and equal negotiating partner to be listened to and its demands accommodated;
2. Israel accept Hezbollah as the de facto government of Gaza and equal negotiating partner to be listened to and its demands accommodated;
3. Israel accept a "Two State Solution" in which Israel will cede the heart of its sovereign ancestral territory, Judea and Samaria in acceptance of the establishment of a (third, after Jordan) state on its borders.
4. Ignore Hamas, Hezbollah's, Palestine Islamic Jihad's and PA's intent to destroy Israel and eradicate its Jews enshrined in their charters and acted out in their ongoing intifadas as mere political rhetoric.

Yes, Persian! Queen Esther lineage, but forced conversions of 7th c.
My sentiments exactly! It seems that wherever Palestinians go, destruction follows!
Yes. My two Lebanese friends here in USA are pro Israel. Something is stirring in the souls of people everywhere…
Hope you’re right about Iran. We will see.
We will soon see.

This has been my experience with Lebanese and Iranian people (that they support Israel, or at the very least condemn Islamic extremism etc).
How are you feeling Meghan? Great article you wrote the other day!
Thanks! Still waiting for the baby to show up. But feeling okay :-)
From their lips to God’s ear.
Excellent refresher. Israeli sovereignty in Gaza and Judea/Samaria. Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Then we'll see.
ABSOLUTELY!
