Lucy, that is an outstanding essay. Our biggest blunder is not portraying what the fight is really about. We have not brought home the message that this is a fight between the Marxists/Islamists on one side and Western Civilization on the other. We have made it Jew against Muslim, Israel against Hamas, and Israel against Iran, etc. Our large Jewish organizations have done the same. People get involved when something affects them, such as feeling personally threatened. This is why we are being killed in the war of public opinion. We focus narrowly, and we garner marginal support. If we were to focus wider, we would garner far more support. A significant failure by Jewish leaders and organizations. papa j

Lucy, until 15 minutes ago I had no idea who you were. Now I will never forget and will actively follow you. What an INCREDIBLE essay!

• Your purpose and clarity would have been enough.

• But your style and prose… seamless weaving together of Jewish history, present dangers and the trajectory of continuing globalized ideologies… just unreal. DAYENU!
