WhatsappI received the following text via email:
The author of quotes from an article below was a “progressive” Jew, cousin of Daniel Pearl, and served as a Lone Soldier in the IDF at the Be’eri Kibbutz. Kibbutz Beeri was one of the kibbutzim devestated by the Hamas terrorists who massacred many of the residents and took others captive.
The author finally came to the realization that no amount of appeasement, empathy, evidence, rationalization, moralization, moral relativism, supporting “oppressed” people, or hoping for goodness or humanity can overcome evil. And evil is what they, and their allies, are.
Whatever the left has been, it has lost its way in some Chomsky-ite, Foucault, Derrida linguistics-driven theory that means nothing – power-dynamics, critical race theory, intersectionality, and all the other bs theories. Think: when you see “Queers for Hamas” posters, how could there ever be an alliance between gays and Islamic fundamentalists? Here is the most important section to read, if you still believe that the left is right.
I assumed—if I cared enough, if I mourned for the Palestinian dead, if I put nuance above all else—our neighbors and their allies would give us the same decency.
How wrong I was. This past week, as over 1,300 Jews were slaughtered, the most murderous attack on Jews since the Holocaust, I saw the true face of Palestinians and their allies. All around the world, they celebrate. They gloat. They mock our tears. They do not protest against Hamas. They embrace pure evil.
And so, to the terrorists I now say:
When you killed my family, I forgave you. When you killed my people, I forgave you. But when you killed my idealism, I had no forgiveness left.
To non-Jewish friends who have reached out, thank you. It is simply the human thing to do. To friends who dare justify what has happened, you are not friends. You are nothing but Nazi supporters dressed up in leftist intellectual language. To the Palestinians: you have lost all moral authority to claim victimhood. I will never advocate for you again. To my family, friends in Israel, and Jews around the world hurting right now, I love you. Stay safe.
Here’s a link to the article. From my perspective, “Never Again” is not possible. It has always happened to Jews, and it will always happen to Jews. But we can prepare, fight it, and minimize the evil perpetrated on and the suffering of Jews.
