how eerily and scarily relevant this is today, with Israel still being accused of murder of innocents, and Jews elsewhere tripping over themselves to apologize, "as a Jew, I'm not like those others..." "He who excuses himself, accuses himself" indeed.

The man who wrote this brilliant and irrefutable speech, helped in a very important way, to prepare for Eretz Israel. G-d, historically, seems to defend and fight for his people, the Jews, when they are on the land, Eretz Israel. As He is doing now, with fervor. Thank G-d for the Land, his Land, your Land.

This is relevant more than ever, yes. And thanks to social media, the spread of lies are worse than ever.

Wow! The prescience of Jabotinsky’s words makes them incredibly powerful. He really covers all the bases. Thank you so much for sharing his message. As awful as the current situation is, we know what to expect if we do not stand up strongly against our enemies and hold our heads up proudly among our neighbours. Mollification should be permanently tossed out of our toolkit. Israel has taught us that. October 7th and its aftermath confirmed it. Am Yisrael Chai!!

Jabotinsky’s words today are as correct as when they were first written!

He was a great inspiration and leader. Also check out this poem/song: Left of the Jordan

With the catch phrase: There are two banks of the Jordan: / This is ours – That one also!

Non of the bullshit and the set-ups by AntiSemites high in The State matters anyway, because we now have our own country. So Good riddance, and fuck them. But Please do keep the testimony of people like Jabotinsky in print, because this shows what Jewish people have had to put up with.
