The Emotional Equilibrium of being a Jew Today
The intense emotions surrounding the return of Emily, Doron and Romi have enveloped us all.
Our minds reel over what we witnessed with the public display of propagandized evil, as three young girls emerge from the sea of hate and thirst for Jewish blood. Khaybar, Khaybar, Ya Yehud.... chanted with exhilaration with gun waving children and the Red Cross bystanders who are accomplices to their crimes against the humanity of Israeli citizens. It evoked fear about the blatant Jewhatred and calls for genocide not only among Gazans but in Judea, Samaria, college campuses, businesses and societies around the world infected by their deception.
The psychological games, and the challenging reality of prisoner exchanges of terrorists, rapists, murderers with the blood of hundreds of Israelis and Jews on their hands, the truth about UN involvement in the captivity and abuse of our people. We will continue to question and doubt, to debate and consider new strategies, and of course, to pray and hold on to hope that more people will do more to join our fight for freedom.
Tomorrow Hamas will disclose which of the remaining 30 hostages to be released in this phase 1 of this deal with the devil are still alive.
2 babies, 7 women, and 21 elderly men and soldiers.
There are not enough words for the anxiousness we all feel, still holding our breath.
Tomorrow we will face another trauma, as a family, as a nation. And the day after, and every day after that until all hostages are returned home.
We will witness another horrific display of terrorist hubris enabled by the societies that have supported their lies, and have spread the euphemistic blood libels against Jews and Israel.
These are all recognized patterns of planning.
Denying the human rights of Jews is not a new agenda, nor their strategy a new approach.
On January 20, 1942, the Wannsee Conference laid out the systematic plan for the Final Solution, a chilling reminder of the organized evil that led to the extermination of over 2 million Jews. Today, we face echoes of that hatred as terror-supporting forces conspire to delegitimize Jewish self-determination and Zionism—the very essence of our right to our ancestral homeland.
This video explores the chilling parallels between the horrific events of the Holocaust and the contemporary threats facing Jews today. From coordinated efforts to harm Jewish communities to the use of dangerous language and international complicity, history is repeating itself in terrifying ways. Learn how we must stay vigilant and raise awareness to prevent history from repeating.
We cannot afford silence or complacency. Whether it’s anti-Semitic conferences on campuses, bias in education, or the horrifying chants for more atrocities like October 7, the fight for Jewish rights continues on every front.
History teaches us that gatherings of hatred and destruction can never be ignored.
We must raise our voices louder, mobilize at every level, and refuse to settle for crumbs in our fight for justice and security.
This is not just a fight for today; it’s a stand for our future.
Let us honor the hostages freed, remember those still waiting for their loved ones, and commit to action that ensures no date in history repeats itself as another tragedy for the Jewish people.
If these beautiful sisters of ours can survive like heroines after 471 days, we can do more from the comfort of our lives to shine a light on the truth that must be told in order to prevent more suffering for the Jews and all of humanity.
The war is long, but hope and determination remain our strongest weapons.
