RAFAH, May 12, 2024: “Al-Sisi's dark secret? The Egyptian joining the lawsuit against Israel in The Hague is another layer in the panic that Cairo is radiating from the action in Rafah - a panic that already goes far beyond the fear of an influx of Palestinian refugees to Sinai. “According to some estimates in… Continue reading Rafah: What Is Egypt Hiding?
Projection
Be really careful when you follow any idea. Make sure that you're not imposing your own psychological needs onto the idea and turning it into something it's not. We see this very much on campus. Students have a very romantic idea of the causes that they follow and they don't have enough life experience or… Continue reading Projection
Most people don’t support terror at all. Stop funding schools which normalize it.
People are pretty smart, and I think most people know that it isn't okay to oppress anybody. It isn't okay to oppress Palestinians, Jews, or Christians, who are also being oppressed around the world. Using religion as an excuse for oppression is also unacceptable. So, where are these voices explicitly supporting terrorism coming from, and… Continue reading Most people don’t support terror at all. Stop funding schools which normalize it.
Why are we required to treat Jewish and Palestinian lives as equally important?
Someone pointed out on social media that if somebody says to you after everything I've done for you how could you treat me this way when someone says that what they're admitting is that they didn't do anything for you they did it for themselves and there was an expectation of payback of some kind… Continue reading Why are we required to treat Jewish and Palestinian lives as equally important?
Posthumous Letter From A Secular Anti-Zionist

From a Torah Perspective, Jewish Lives and Palestinian Lives are Equally Important.
https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/74049/anyone-who-saves-a-life-is-as-if-he-saved-an-entire-world-jewish-life-or-any If the main argument for Zionism is that lives must be saved, then ethical Jews must advocate for Jews and Palestinians just the same. As it says in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a): “Whoever saves a single life is considered by scripture to have saved the whole world." Any life. The question comes up whether… Continue reading From a Torah Perspective, Jewish Lives and Palestinian Lives are Equally Important.
AI-Generated: Pathway to Middle East Peace
I asked Meta AI about the current war between Israel and Hamas, looking for different perspectives, potential resolutions, and how a Democratic vs. Republican U.S. President might approach it. I added some of my own knowledge and then edited the result. If we can create a simple framework without corrupt politicians and industrialists, maybe we… Continue reading AI-Generated: Pathway to Middle East Peace
Jews are not responsible to “cure” antisemitism
If you’re going to hate Jews, at least be honest. Don’t pretend that there’s some magical standard that either Jews or Israel could actually meet before you would find us acceptable. Sometimes people make all these excuses. They say, ‘Oh, if only Israel would be more humane.’ But after it was invaded in a war… Continue reading Jews are not responsible to “cure” antisemitism
MKULTRA & Campus Protests
MK-Ultra victims are individuals who fell prey to trauma-based mind control, also known as brainwashing. One of the lesser-known aspects of brainwashing is that once a program is triggered in the mind—much like launching software on a computer—it operates automatically, impervious to logic. This phenomenon explains why we sometimes witness seemingly brainwashed adults engaging in… Continue reading MKULTRA & Campus Protests
The Best Advocates Against Terror: Muslims and Christians
One last thought for this morning: I truly believe that the most effective advocates against terrorism are actually Muslims and Christians. Jews are not as adept at this; we lack the same level of conviction and the ability to create catchy slogans. While we excel in intellectual debates and fine print, it is the Muslims… Continue reading The Best Advocates Against Terror: Muslims and Christians
