What happened to me? Nothing. What happened to 1,200+ Israelis? They were murdered, mutilated & raped by terrorists. And a group of privileged, no-nothings on the US far left blamed the victims. This is the history of my ancestors. And that of my children if I don’t speak up. The world has paid no attention that Hamas = ISIS. They don’t call for the release of prisoners. They don’t understand that Israel is the ancestral home of my people for 5,000 years. The world doesn’t get that Israel is a democracy that allows Muslims to serve in govt, courts & military when the same is not true in reverse. Of the 9 million Israelis, > 2 million are not Jewish. That’s what happened. The “rot” is a stain on the mindless people who support terrorists over an imperfect democracy. And I will never be silent about this. To do so would disrespect my parents, my grandparents and every relative of mine who suffered through pogroms to give me the freedoms I enjoy in the United States. I have a blessing. But also the responsibility to speak up. I am not anti Muslim, anti Arab or anti Palestinian. I am pro all of them. I am anti, anti-Semite. And unconsciously the far left always slips into the “blame the Jews” mindset.
