I’ve been bullied more than once in my life. Every single time I was bullied, I asked myself what I had done to deserve it. I didn’t say, wow, what a bully I’m dealing with.

I said to myself, wow, I must have really, really caused this in some way. I must have said something. I must have done something.

I must look a certain way. It must be my fault. Only many, many years later, I mean many years later, did I realize that trying to take the blame for something that was done to you is a trauma response.

It is not a factual, evidential response to something that you have experienced. Let’s connect it to Israel. The entirety of the narrative that there was or is a genocide in Gaza, it is a big lie.

It never, ever, it never happened. But you wouldn’t know that from the flood, the absolute flood from every direction of statements, conclusions, assertions, and comments to the contrary. To the point where if you say that it never happened, you yourself are liable of being accused of making something up, of disinformation.

That’s how bad the situation is. You know that in sociology, one of the first things that they teach you is that if you drop a normal person into an abnormal environment, like a jail, within 48 hours, that person will take on the characteristics of a hardened inmate. It’s called the total environment.

We are living in a total environment of Jew hate, justified by a big lie that never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever happened. And just like other big lies that have been shown to be completely baseless, and then they go into the memory hole, right? Nobody wants to talk about it. Very soon, this big lie of the Gaza genocide is going to go exactly the same way.

But we, as Jews, must remember, we have to be stronger than the lies that are thrown in our faces.
