That is such a great piece. A pure reality check. God bless you, the Jews, Israel and all those who love the truth.

I so can’t wait to see that corrupt feeble senile old creep out of the White House. He is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to America

I agree, & although as a Democrat, I saw great danger for Israel, the Jewish diaspora, & American Jews if he & that woman (she's a disgrace) were to be the next U.S. presidential team. D.T. is a loose cannon & has relatability issues, but I PRAY that he proves to be a dynamic & consistant allie to Israel & the Jews. In a substantive way, our survival hinges upon that!

I disagree with you overall about Biden and Harris, having always thought they at least had Israel’s and our backs overall, even if not to the extent we would have hoped for, but this pronouncement kind of negates all of that and absolutely horrifies me.

I *am* with you in hoping Trump does prove to be our ally. I have grave doubts about that, frankly, but we shall see if he does or not. If he doesn’t, we will just have to fight it.

He’s our next president whether any of us like it or not, and I’m extremely worried about what that’s going to bring us all overall, but even apart from my own Jewishness, we absolutely *cannot* allow Muslims and Islamism to take over this country - and they are far too close to that, especially with this horrifying and twisted report from the White House.

I hate being opposed to any group or religion. It *is* bigotry in general, and I have always staunchly opposed and condemned that. But Islam really does pose a very unique and exceptionally dangerous threat to this country (and the world), which no other persecuted group ever has.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia. We have every right to be afraid of the death cult!

Islamophobia actually is the correct word, since “phobia” means “fear” - and we *should* fear Islam. It does pose a grave threat to both the US Europe.

The word has been twisted in usage into meaning hatred of Muslims and Islam in general, but that’s not actually correct. It *ought* to be “anti-Islam,” “anti-Islamist,” or “anti-Muslim.”

Whatever it’s called, I have no intention of letting them overrun our country.

And so many *still* can't figure out why voter majority put Trump back into 1600, despite many strikes against him. Thank you for posting.

Mystifying how, or why, you overlook Trump's overt, unabashed support for Nazis at home and sundry Jew haters abroad. Elon Musk, Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, Nick Fuentes, Charlottesville rioters (the "Jews will not replace us" claque -- even the right wing, pro-Trump Claremont Institute, former home base of John Eastman, has denounced Trump's Hitler fetish: https://human-rights.cmc.edu/2023/04/03/hitler-did-a-lot-of-good-things-trump-and-the-us-rehabilitation-of-nazism/.

THIS is who you think will be good for the Jews? He'd sell out Jesus Christ for 3 pieces of silver, let alone 30.

Meanwhile, Biden has armed Ukraine and basically gave Israel free rein against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

Are you unaware of these things? Are you a double agent?

While I didn’t vote for trump and am not a fan, it seems inaccurate to say Biden & Co gave Israel free rein. Israel *took* free rein. Kamala told Israel not to invade Rafah.

I don’t think ISR takes the alliance cavalierly. But they realized for even the chance to defeat their enemies, it was necessary to press forward without American approval.

"Kamala told..." shocking that they didn't hang on her every word. 🤦‍♀️

Trump condemned the Racists at Charlottesville. This is the "Fine People" hoax. When he referred to "fine people" he was talking about the debate over confederate statues. Five seconds later he said: "I'm not talking about the white supremacists; they should be condemned utterly."

Even Snopes finally acknowledged that.

Trump also organized the Abraham Accord, peace treaties between Israel and three Arab states that have continued to hold, in spite of the crap since 10/7.

And while Obama and Biden made sure Iran was flush with cash, Trump put a stop to that. Iran was much poorer when he was there.

And Iran, remember, supplied the money and weapons so Hamas could do 10/7.

So not all is as the MSM makes it seem!

heck, the MSM is against Israel, so that tells you what to think of them.

Although the Electoral College numbers placed a very big difference between the two candidates/Parties... in popular numbers.... the two candidates/Parties were extremely close!!!!!! As a Rabbi, we require much greater specificity.

"Harris (D) Trump (R) Total

48.33% 49.80%

75,017,626 77,301,997 155,211,283" From this link: https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college

The biggest impediments to combating fear of and prejudice against American Muslims are attacks like the one in New Orleans last night.

A useful historical piece as January 20 is coming up soon and with it, the President who issued the Executive Order making antisemitism a Title VI Civil Rights Violation.

I agree with Doug, what was right is wrong etc., etc. To my way of thinking, when are the pogroms going to start and who are they going to blame?? Of course it will be us Jews. We are such lowlife evil people that we dare to defend ourselves. I AM ENRAGED AT JOE BIDEN. I THOUGHT HE WAS A BETTER PERSON THAN THIS. But we are living in crazy dangerous times. What's next another Krystalnacht? By the way there are about 6 million of us in the United States. Coincidental but nonetheless frightening. When they come for us who will stand with us anyone? As usual I do not expect much help from our good God fearing neighbors they will be too busy praying in church. The time to leave maybe sooner than we expected. Am Yisrael Chai. Shalom Dan

I have been outraged over all this for over a year. But not anymore, because a whole new administration is coming in --just a couple more weeks--and they don't care that the left will call them "Islamophobes." Almost NO ONE cares about Islamaphobia (they don't much care about antisemitism, either, but they care even less about "Islamaphobia.") People are waking up to the TRUTH--especially now that the New Orleans attack has reminded them, again, about the truth.

Islamophobia is a lite form of Islamic blasphemy that has been insinuated into Westerm governing institutions, no more no less. It originates from organizations such as CAIR, not from the reality on the ground.
