To me it looks more like The anti Trump Occupations were 1966, these were the 1973 pro Khomeini demonstrations here in the US. The beginning of de facto antisemitism in The United States by violations of eighth and first amendment constitutional rights,which dont exist and never did...anyhow, I think your Ukrainian cousins have the right idea. Am Chai Yisrael, Moadim l'simcha.
I wish David Bogart to know that I, a Goy (Northern European mix) 70-year old retired ER nurse, with previous paramedic and military experience, about the age of his abba, emailed the Israeli Embassy in Canada in the week following Oct 07 2023 and asked if they could use my help. At that time my licence was still active because I literally had just left my job Oct 02 the week before. I was ready to pack up and go with my husband’s blessing. My eyes aren’t good and arthritis is setting in with a vengeance which is why I finally stopped working in a field which sorely needs experienced staff, but I thought surely I could do something. To this day I remain coldly furious at what happened and what has transpired in the year since, and cheered with every successful Israeli operation to remove the leaders of these tunnel rats and their allies. I have not been called up, although they graciously replied and said I was on their list, so I am left with broadcasting my thoughts and views on this and reposting those of many Jews like yourself. Every day since, I have circulated articles and essays, videos, photos, showing the barbarity of the animals who continue to try to erase Israel, until notably my only sister told me she won’t read what I post; her last response was of the ‘It’s Israel’s fault’’ theme and I am done relating with her. Although we are on fixed income, I still hold out going there in some capacity to help even if only to show that not everyone in the world runs away from a fight nor are you alone.
A whole generation is being indoctrinated by tiktok and marxist' academia. In my family as well, unfortunately. It is extremely hard to fight the mob dynamic with wisdom, not in the last place because we're dealing with a generation that has little respect for wisdom and even less experience with how to gain it.
My family learned a decade or so ago that my great grandmother had been Jewish. She converted after marrying my Protestant great grandfather. And it all became a Big Family Secret.
For my part, I was happy to hear and tell people of my Jewish ancestry. But I've never been involved in the Jewish community.
After 10/7, that tiny part of me that is Jewish felt rage, sorrow, and horror like nothing I had known before. I am the most vocal Jewish Christian I personally know.
I look in horror at the state of our country, government, and educational system, as you do. I do what I can by sharing posts written by people like you. I support Lev Haolam with a monthly subscription.
What I'm trying to say is...I'm trying. I care. I pray for Israel, the Jewish community, and our country everyday.
Seen all the videos' s you are referring to.....on October 7th and the days after I "forced" myself to see all the available footage thru all possible channels. I got sick and deeply hurt by whatI have seen. I have seen a lot in my life, but the sheer psychopatic , almost sexual lust of the sadistic hamas monsters shook my soul to the bone. Evil, pure evil . The reaction of the media shook me even more, and still does. I dont have any illusions and/or naivity anymore What a tremendous problem the world has, and thank God for the resiliance of Israel. What a burden .... All my support.
Well said. If you are a Jew and the anti-Semitism and war on the Israelis does not sicken you, shame. If you have not spoken out, participated in a counter demonstration (if you're in an infected area), shame. If you are a young or younger Jew and you leave it to the older Jews to be stuck down on the sidewalk, shame. If you are a Jew and not voting for Trump, shame. You are supporting the socialist/communist party encouraging this inhumanity. If you are an American Jew and you do not own and know how to use firearms, shame. If you are a non-Moslem and you are not seriously upset about the slaughter of Israelis and the world-wide anti-Semitism, shame on you. Beware, you are the next victims of the Moslem extremist animals. Shalom to all my brothers and sisters. The rest of you, go to hell, G-d willing.
when people are fed from youth on a steady diet of hatred, when they are told that revenge for past humiliations must be life's guiding purpose, when most of the men in your community have no larger interest than murder, and most importantly—when various miserable malefactors tell you that all the pains and problems of your people are caused by THOSE OTHER PEOPLE OVER THERE—then you can become as addicted to hatred as someone else gets addicted to drugs.
Westerners have been so safe, prosperous and coddled for so long, so shielded from life and history's ugliest episodes and drives, they forget that the desire to destroy can be as strong as the desire to build, and that the desire to wound can be as strong as the desire to heal.
This is why all of History's greatest sages have preached compassion and peaceful coexistence—humans need to be constantly reminded of this, both because of their own uglier urges and because of the constant presence of various sadists and opportunists who want to cultivate hatred for their own ends.
Also, they are taught that no infidel should rule over any land that Muslims once conquered (the “what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine” principle). This was never a land dispute. It has always been a holy war on the Muslim side.
"Many successful national revolutions started as student-led protests. Most notably, look to the 1978 Iranian Revolution which now represents the regime that funds and coordinates most global terrorism..."
Someone should tell the children of today's campus INFANTada that many of those young Iranian rebels ended up in concentration camps or were just murdered by the Regime, with their families having to flee in terror. Not to mention that no matter how bad it was under the Shah, things can always get worse and they often do. If all those young street rebels in 1978 could glimpse the future of their country—rule of a theocratic dictatorship, global pariah, zero civil rights, women locked up like property—would they have gone back home? Changed their minds?
Moral to the story: Be careful what you wish for—you just might get it!
But as we can see it's hard to reason with young people with little wisdom when their hearts are on fire for Justice and who know in their blood and bones that they are the incarnation of a newer, better world. Instead of adult guidance they can always find the usual cast of Western "burn it all down" Leftists goading them toward the newest cleansing revolutionary bloodbath, who toss rhetorical Molotov cocktails while hiding safely on campus.
The Marxists hated Jews, the Soviets hated Jews (even the Jewish ones!) and now their subliterate narcissistic grandchildren hate Jews, because Jews are the eternal scapegoat and Jews refuse to dissolve their ancient faith in the newest One Truth Faith based on cosmopolitan egalitarianism. But no professor or admin would ever have the brains or courage to explain this publicly. And once again the Jews become the canary in a coalmine for whatever ugliness looms up ahead...
I’m still trying to wrap my head around all the sudden antisemitism that’s sprouted. I guess the Leftist colleges were doing a better job of propagandizing students than I realized. The number of useful idiots in the pro-Gaza marches is astonishing and disgusting. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Am Israel Chai!
How were the demonstrators of Oct. 8 so numerous, so organized and ready? It’s because the Left has aligned itself with “the Palestinian cause.” The left is extremely good at organizing, both at grassroots level and internationally. They’ve got useful idiots, true believers. They’ve got “community organizers” everywhere, including at the White House.
They’ve got InstaRiot on speed dial. I pray we do not see this go into effect after the US elections but I think it’s very likely in the event that Trump wins.
“Pax Americana”—very good. We were talking about the aftermath of 10/7 at our hosts’ table last Friday night. My friend said she thought it had profoundly shaken American Jews.
“Yeah,” I said. “We’re not used to pogroms anymore.” We forget how commonplace they were in Europe before the Holocaust (the ultimate pogrom). If the Cossacks et al. had had go-pros, it wouldn’t look much different from the footage taken by the Hamas savages.
This is so well said. I share so many of these experiences and views.

Wow. Thank you, Janet. 💙

My Hebrew school teacher also had the mantra “sheket bavakasha”.
You must train with your firearm, know the laws of self defense in your state.
Do not think that law enforcement will protect you at a counter demonstration.
If you have young children stay away from volatile situations and live to fight another day.
If trouble comes to you act decisively and prepare for the legal aftermath.
This is no joke.
Be well and thanks for the essay.
excellent precis of current events and how we got here. Scariest part? Where are we going?

“These are angry, disillusioned blood-thirsty cultists who have no future to look forward to but will do anything to ensure yours is ruined.”
I am curious what the author’s belief is behind how these human beings came to be “angry, disillusioned” and with no future to look forward to?

DNA says I have a fraction of Ashkenazi but that is not why I say this. I know that after you, we are next, but neither is that why I say this.
I am a Christian. My Savior was a Jew.
My God chose Israel.
I will not be a bystander.
God bless and keep Israel.
