Hate to be disrespectful to the author but I cant make heads or tails to what he is talking about? The new Jewish Voice ...... I dont see new Jewish voices. I see a very quiet and very frightened Jewish Diaspora with very disorganized and ineffective large Jewish organizations who beg for money and never show leadership or accountability. What I see is a large silent public and Western governments who are doing nothing to stop the rise of anti semitism and Jew Hatred and just continue to pay lip service and maybe appoint some official to pay more lip service in the new antisemitism unit that will continue to pay more lip service.

On the flip side, I see an incredible small country with the bravest and most incredible bunch of citizens who stand up and fight and are relentless and above all, they are kicking ass. They are not new Jews, they have been there since and before 1948. They not only fight for Jews, they fight for all decent people against a culture of hate. A culture of antisemitism, misogyny, homophobia, anti-Christian anti Democratic etc. etc.

Then the hostage exchange part of the essay ..... I hope that we dont make the same mistake and give up murderers for hostages. It breaks my heart to say it but if you really value life, this lopsided exchange will only result in much more death. 1000 criminals for one person when you know that many of that 1000 will be back trying to kill Jews is just not a life loving exchange. It hurts very much to say but it needs to be said

A voice is good, Sir, but it is not working. Bottom line: ok, 2: why didn’t every home in the kibbutzim have arms on Oct 7 and WTF is Israel judiciary/politicos thinking trying to courtroom hoax Bibi for designer cigars and champagne at this dreadful hour of needed leadership in war? Who cares if he’d like better media coverage: advice to Bibi is start your own media like Trump magnificently did and put it on the stock exchange. American Jew here who watched a lifelong treasonous criminal—propped up as prez by a Kenyan ex prez whose sentiments lie with Muslim Brotherhood—who sold us for billions to state enemies and will never see the inside of a courtroom as he stumbles out of the WH to his beach yet Israel is edgy about a buck .98k? Bibi isn’t selling his legacy for pocket change: this is not bribery, he was given a gift. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Hate Netanyahu or love him, this ordeal for him is deadly stupid. [Please see Carolyn Glick for her incredible dig into the Trump/Bibi persecution by same group]. We have antisemitism eating us up world wide (ICC fools, Harvard elitists, rabid journalists, scum kids, congress women chanting for Gazan terrorists with those damned ugly keffiyehs, Israelis hunted and beaten like animals in a western country for being Jews) yet Israel is going to pick on their leader who is kicking ass and burying debris? We are Jacob’s 2 camps facing Esau’s hatred. America and Israel. Better wise up, all of us. Pandering with talk worked a bit for Jacob but not long. Ass kissing is remarkably inefficient in war. Along came Esau in 1932, still hating. I just read, for joy, ‘Saving Israel’. Mostly Jewish American kids straight out of WW2 giving up sunny California to become Israel’s first air force. The simplicity of their war somehow revealed the complete sinister audacity of stalking Bibi today with Americanesque lawfare when Jew hatred is worse than it has ever been.

Support Bibi and arm the Jews. This is war. Bottom line.
