Great analysis and commentary. I was wondering how you were going to find the light amidst all the darkness, but I agree that it is a defining moment, not only for Jews but for gentiles. The madness since 10.7 has converted me to become a Catholic Zionist. In my view, due to the nefarious machinations of the Red-Green alliance, which few see much less understand, we are all Israelis now. Perhaps we always were. After all, our Bible has two testaments 😏.
So the alternative is to be what, visible Presbyterians? Using Ben Franklin's quote about declaring independence from England "If we don't hang together we shall surely hang separately." You Jewish folks have the same choice and choose wisely.
I'm going to answer that with a joke about Jewish ingenuity and ability to get through anything: Astronomers announced to the world that an asteroid was going to smash into earth in three days, and the world would be covered underwater. The Pope made a statement: "People, now is the time to humble yourself and confess all sins and prepare to meet God." A world-famous Evangelical Christian stated: "Accept Jesus into your heart now, the rapture is at hand." The leader of Israel announced to his citizens: "Listen up, everybody! We have three days to figure out how to live underwater!"

Perfectly stated, George. Thank YOU for your support and Thank GOD you see the truth.
We need to spread that truth.
Trying. But there are only 15 million Jews in the world. Too small to spread the word on our own. We need YOU and a whole lot of your friends, too.

I will always stand with you. 🙏
I love reading your comments, Susan. I have for a long time. Hope to meet you someday.
I would love that ❤️
I just sent you a private message via your substack page/profile
A quick question. If every single Jew alive today decided to emigrate to Israel, could the country handle it?
No.
Just as I thought.
