Future of Jewish

When Jews turn on Jews, everyone loses. And yet we keep making the same ignorant mistake.

External parties can dream about "Palestine" until they go blue in the face, but the reality is that Palestinians have zero capability to self-govern, no less zero desire to live in peace with Israel…

In 2018, I visited two refugee camps in Lebanon, a place where Israelis are banned and Jews aren't welcome. What I saw shattered what I thought I understood about humanitarian aid.

No, Israel doesn't owe Gazans breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Would you seriously feed your neighbor who's trying to set your house ablaze and viciously murder your family?

Moving here taught me to thrive with thorns.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most of this caring is performative. It’s cheap outrage, a way to feel righteous and stroke the ego without paying a price. Meanwhile, people in Israel and Gaza suffer…

“An army marches on its stomach.”

The only real way to understand this saga is to understand its perpetual cause-and-effect nature.

"Anti-Zionists" cheer for the side whose game plan for victory is sacrificing as many of their own civilians as possible.

Now they found their man — an Israeli! a Jew! — to give Times readers exactly what they want to hear: that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, no matter how remotely untrue and unverified this is.

It’s bad enough when Jew-haters attack us. It’s much worse when our own people do.

To define the Jewish state by its current government or any of its governments or politicians is to misunderstand what Israel is, and worse, to pollute its very essence.

Empathy itself being used as a weapon instead of a bridge. I call this phenomenon “empathicide.”

If current trends continue, and if voting patterns start to reflect the shifting views of the electorate, we may find ourselves in uncharted territory.

When jihadists talk demographics, the Jewish People ought to listen.

It makes no moral sense — until you recognize the real ideology at play: stay oppressed, or be villainized. Liberation is only acceptable if it never actually arrives.

The State of Israel is younger than McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Harley-Davidson, JCPenney, Colgate, and your grandma’s microwave. Yet the world expects it to have the wisdom of a centuries-old monastery.

Jews must use their power in many ways, and the most effective is to employ wildly disproportionate means to achieve deterrence.

We’re living through a spiritual armageddon — and most people don’t see it.

Ali Khamenei lives today not because Israel can’t kill him, but because Israel believes some lines should not be crossed, even when facing an enemy that respects none.
