Brilliant. The most well described article about Israel's future I've read - now I know it's none of my business at this point, but I know the West will eat itself, and Israel will be the indespensible ally the governments around the world will wish for. You've got this! 👏👏👏👏💪🇮🇱💙🙏

There is no future for Israel. They fucked themselves

Yeah, yeah, yeah. People have been saying that for 78 years. I'm not worried.

Superb. A "must-read" for every Jew.

Nachum, you get it ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. And Netanyahu and others in Israel have realized this and are working as fast as possible to become independent.

Spot on! Rahm Emanuel needs to read this!

He's too busy reading The Koran.

While Chicago's violence is in the national spotlight with so many killed and wounded, Rahm Emanuel is in Israel criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu for his efforts to keep Israeli citizens safe.

The NGOs brought to Israel by the Obama administration will not acknowledge that the brutal slaughter and sexual violence committed by Hamas and thousands of their followers on October 7th is the equivalent of 48,000 Americans being killed, compared to the 3,000 lives lost on 9/11.

Won't let me delete it.

good! Shout it from the rooftops and maybe we can find a few ,or even one modern day leader, to unite us to accomplish even half of what the article describes. Diaspora needs effective leadership too!

What an excellent analysis! Many thanks!

You are something else. I didn’t think anyone could make me laugh so heartily (and cynically) in the midst of reading this excellent, real, and disturbing piece.

You rock, Nachum. This piece should be read from the stages and bimahs at every event and holiday for the next year, to every Jew in the diaspora (that’s where I live). Toto has pulled the free world’s curtains aside, and depending on the weather, the Wizards are anything but…

Brilliant, thank you!

General, I believe that President Trump's moves on Iran are driven by the US midterm elections. If the Republicans retain control in Congress I personally believe that Iran will be stomped into total submission.

Spot on! You've hit every single point that needs coverage. I would add that there are a number of nefarious players out there funding the Leftist/Islamofascist social media drive that has brainwashed millions of pliable fat and lazy young skulls full of mush to believe in Jew-hatred. Roy Singham and S0r0s for example. And WE DON'T FIGHT BACK!!!!

An excellent analysis. I'm bookmarking this one, and not only because of the multi-pronged plan you outline, but also because you hint at an important definition of Zionism. We all know that it's usually defined as the aspiration of the Jewish people to return to their ancestral land, but your post suggests a somewhat different take, which is that Zionism is the aspiration of the Jewish people not to rely on those in the broader world community to welcome them, let alone save them from future hostility. Zionism is the responsibility to creates one's own welcoming home and then protect it with one's life for one's family. Seen in this way, it is clear why today's Jew haters are dressed up in antizionist garb. What greater Jewish characteristic is there to hate more than the ability of Jews to defend themselves and thrive in their own nation?

You are not alone. People like me support Israel with all of your warts and unfamiliar ways. We recognize the value of a militarily strong ally in the middle of the Islamic community. One of the wests major challenges is to recognize the threat political Islam represents and begin to destroy its influence in our cultures. We are special partners in this unspoken war.

Great article! I also think Israel has to make its case better to diaspora Jews. Many have no idea about how Israelis have lived, being bombed, enemies on all sides, the history of struggling to survive, how many wars? I am only one former Shomer, out in the hostile left wing world. Help me to make my points. Please.🙏

An excellent thought provoking article. The need to maintain good relations with the US whilst extricating ourselves from being in the pocket of future administration. A new era of Israel politician with the vision and character to lead the way and unite the country!

Brilliant article - one of the best I’ve ever read. It is important that Israeli leaders & citizens read this. How can this be accomplished ???
