- Human Rights Hypocrisy: Oddly, you can call yourself a human rights activist and simultaneously justify deliberate targeting of civilians to rape, mutilate, behead and burn them alive. The same people that cry for humanitarian aid in Gaza did not make a single plea for 31 days to check on the wellbeing of civilian hostages (Israeli and foreigners) nor demand their immediate release (something that would have impacted the magnitude of Israel’s military actions). In fact, all these clowns are actually activists of convenience rather than of conviction.
- Feminism: Self-proclaimed feminists also accept raping and kidnapping women as a valid form of resistance = faux feminists.
- Free Speech: Speech that incites violence and presents ‘clear and present danger’ is generally unprotected speech in western countries. Unless it is against Jews.
- Words and their Meanings: People have thrown around words like ‘genocide’, ‘apartheid’, ‘ethnic cleansing’ as if they are ice cream flavors of the month, misusing them with zero attribution to their actual meaning. Does this mean it is time for a new unabridged edition of Merriam Websters dictionary or time to understand what is actually happening?
- Own your POV: The majority of Pro-Palestine / Pro-Hamas demonstrators and online trolls hide their identities behind masks and screen names. Why is that? If you strongly believe in your POV, own it and stop being a coward.
- Higher Education: Instead of encouraging first principles, out of the box thinking, universities, especially elite ones, indoctrinate students and hire faculty to promote hate initiatives including celebrating the October 7th massacre and offering students extra-credit to participate in anti-Israel demonstrations. Institutes of higher learning or of mass social destruction?
- Effectively Supporting Your Cause: Misguided progressive liberals tear down posters of innocent Israeli and foreign civilian hostages abducted by Hamas, a terror organization, thinking that this somehow helps the Palestine cause. In fact, your ignorance and unsubstantiated hate only fuels Israel’s drive to complete its military mission of annihilating Hamas and rescuing all the hostages.
- Worldwide Suffering: The world and all its self-proclaimed humanitarians do not give a rats ass about human suffering, unless Israel is defending itself. Where were all the activists demonstrating and demanding ceasefires when 500,000+ were killed in the Syrian civil war, 1M Uyghurs were detained in internment camps in China or 17,000+ civilians died in Ukraine in 2022 alone?
- Social Media: X/ TikTok are not the town square, but the town toilet bowl where opinions that completely disregard history and facts morph into a new version of past and present within seconds. On “X/Twitter”, a porn star, who didn’t make her fortune thanks to her IQ, is considered a reliable source of information for the history of the conflict and the events unfolding. An unreasonable number of clickbait liars are monetarily incentivized on such platforms with the net-net result being the proliferation of lies and incitement of hate.
- Pro-Palestine vs. Pro-Israel Sympathizers: This is NOT a war of choice for Israelis but the nation is totally united and supports Israel’s right to defend itself and rescue all the hostages. At the same time, almost every Pro-Israel sympathizer I’ve know can also express empathy for innocent civilian lives lost on the Palestine side during this war (note: IDF does everything in its power to mitigate the loss of civilian lives, see link for more information). On the flip side, almost no pro-Palestine supporter I've come across can express sympathy for the Israeli civilians murdered in their homes on October 7th or the 240+ kidnapped. Yet, most of those Pro-Palestine sympathizers claim to be concerned about human rights.
- Silence is Loud and Clear: While some friends and colleagues share words of empathy and support during these difficult times, most have remained silent. Checking in with someone to see how they are doing does not require choosing a side.
- How the Holocaust Happened: The rise in antisemitism in the last month is incomprehensible but nowhere nearly as incomprehensible as the massive apathy to this surge in hate against a minority (there are only 15M Jews worldwide). All those years struggling to comprehend how the world let the Holocaust just happen, I now get it. This is exactly how it happened.
- Martyrdom: Our enemies revere martyrdom no matter what the impact on the future of their populations, Israelis revere and aspire to live prosperous, fulfilling and meaningful lives now and for generations to come.
- Defense: Israel is the only country in the world that is forced to defend itself for defending itself. Reminder: the ceasefire was broken on October 7th when Hamas brutally massacred 1400 civilians in their homes and at a music festival and kidnapped 240+.
- Judaism: It has never been the key qualifier by which I or many of my peers define ourselves but it is alarmingly clear that this is the primary way the world defines us. This has provided immense clarity around the underlying importance of this war that was forced upon us.
- Safe Haven: Despite having enemies on all our borders and being subject to ongoing provocation by terrorist groups and antagonistic neighbors, Israel is the safest place on planet earth for Jews.
- Sadness Consumes But Does not Destroy: Never have we been so completely consumed with pain and sadness in Israel. Every single day since the massacre, the magnitude of despair and amount of tears is indescribable. And in spite of 31 days of gut-wrenching pain and disbelief, we get up every morning to work towards a better, safer, stronger collective future.
- The World’s Hate Fuels Us: The rising hate towards Israelis and Jews globally only ensures that Israel will continue to exist and thrive. Hate us as much as you want -- it only further fuels our inexplicable desire and passion to live and build great lives for ourselves and generations to come. For the haters out there, your hate is your demise. While we flourish, you will be eaten from within and sabotage a better future for those who you claim to advocate for.
