Increasingly, Israelis are saying "we got our whole approach to defense entirely wrong. Here's what has to change now—with regard to Hamas, and then Hezbollah, and then Iran."
The UK' s useful idiots are out in force, as the Islamist entryism now spreading has completed its seduction of the left, much of the MSM, nearly all of academia and our witless public sector.
Many of us, the silent majority, are firmly on the side of Israel, its people and this existential struggle; we offer support to our beleaguered Jewish communities,as they confront, daily, the ancient ugly hatred.
We are disgusted,alarmed and fear for the future of stability, cohesion and our relationship with the Middle East's only democracy.
A resurgent entitled and rapidly growing Islamism, buoyed by governments grants, vociferous Imams and the recently exposed- thanks to our Daily Telegraph and Spiked- advisers employed by the Crown Prosecution Service, the Met Police and the Ministry of Defence, is gradually gaining the upper hand by means of agitprop and weight of numbers.
Watch this everyone; a snapshot of the UK's fragmentation, brought to us by successive governments ,NGOs, activists,Open Borders enthusiasts and noisy opportunists: Gays for Gaza, LGBTQ+++for Palestine
No. They are better at “logomachy” (the battle of words) than we are.
They tell the world we are “occupiers” but Jews have been indigenous in the land for over three millennia.
They say Israel is an “apartheid state” though it is full of Israeli-Arabs and other minorities, while under PA rule, Christian Palestinian life has dwindled, and Arafat insisted that the PA be Judenrein.
They say Israel is committing a “genocide.” Yet the population of Palestinians grows year over year. And It is the Palestinians who preach the eradication of Jews.
75-year-old cities are still called “refugee camps.”
The world distinguishes between ‘terrorists’ and ‘civilians,’ while these innocent civilians call Hamas, Fatah, IJ…. “Liberators”.
I can go on and on. The “two-state solution” and the “peace process” were adopted by Arafat as a means to liberate the land from Jews in a piecemeal fashion.
The Palestinians are not only butchers of people, they are butchers of language, and the BBC, CNN, UN, EU, even the US government is complicit. The adoption of mislabels is not simply naïveté, but is often the result of active collaboration. These are classic Orwellian crimes against language perpetuated against the Jewish people.
Complacency has been a thorn in our side since the Exodus. We must not only believe but trust in ourselves as a Nation. Internal politics was put aside in Israel after the massacre on 10/7; not so in the Diaspora. The world’s very short memory has forgotten the origins this battle - simply the right of the State of Israel to live freely and securely within its borders. No other narrative is needed. The point must be made wherever freedom exists, that the Israeli army is a “defense” force- which had an unfortunate period of complacency. The threat is now being addressed. Unity has been restored. The Jewish diaspora must similarly adopt that approach and not be brainwashed by media - social/cable/radio. Schools, synagogues, federations must come together with a template which teaches the true narrative to our children and those who do not know. Now is not the time for complacency.
Mr. Gordis could I suggest 75 years after Israel was reborn, or 75 years after the creation of the fourth Jewish state. Either impliedly argues with the Arab myth of settler colonialism without saying so.
You misunderstand. Describing it as the rebirth or the fourth Jewish state, impliedly argues against the settler colonialism canard now being espoused. It emphasizes that this is the return of an indigenous people to its ancestral homeland.
No, YOU misunderstand. Those who want to see it that way will see it that way no matter what linguistic hairs we split. Those who know right from wrong and a bit of history get it, no matter what linguistic hairs we don't split. The idea that anyone who would think to argue settler colonialism will be affected by the niceties of language is an allusion we should give up.

Thank you for the news, the accuracy, the reality. We all need it.

Neither suggests anything about settler colonialism. That's the stuff that people who have nothing serious to discuss split hairs about.
You misunderstand. Describing it as the rebirth or the fourth Jewish state, impliedly argues against the settler colonialism canard now being espoused. It emphasizes that this is the return of an indigenous people to its ancestral homeland.

Mr. Gordis. Let us agree to disagree. Thank you for engaging with me on this issue.
