Years and years of decreasing vigilance increasingly false moral equivalence Pointing the finger is all too easy accepting blame makes us queasy

short but powerfully poignant poem, Gershon. Political finger pointing isn't the answer to what's currently happening. Blaming is lack of responsibility in my book. I feel that many of America's current leaders have all but abandoned Israel, and I can't help but wonder what diabolical plan is afoot globally.

And if we don't pen the truth! We already lost the war.? We expect the IDF to save the world? Unfair! A state the size of New Jersey cannot contain zealot nations that we fi When we can’t call killers out? Censorship is evil. There is a weapon in your hand.. people are beset with lies. Tour pen is mightier than a sword. Best write the truth, be a soldier for humanity….I don’t mean give peace a chance. They have no intention of having the western world exist. Why is everyone afraid to say that

The War against Hamas in Gaza is not America's war to win or lose. It is Israel's to win or lose. And Israel will win, with or without America... Going forward, should America abandon her, Israel will find a new partner... 'Politics makes strange bedfellows,' as we've all seen in our lifetimes... Faith and Strength, gw
