The most concise, heartfelt and knowledgeable expressions I have yet read. This should be seen in our main media. This should be read by our political leaders. This should be taught in the "woke" inspired universities....where "profs" and students have opinions but lack knowledge and caring and are inspired by hatred of Israel and Trump; and who's minds have already been infected by the Iranian Regimes outreach cells.
Thank you for this. This is a wonderful companion piece to the For Heaven's Sake podcast on The Case for War. We need to hear from the people most directly impacted, not far away armchair analysts.
Thank you for that piece, it speaks to something I feel deeply inside of me, that we don't do enough listening but quickly rush to judge people from cultures, religions and backgrounds many of us have no knowledge of or very limited at best. This often happens to Jewish people too I believe as well at least from what I see my work colleagues saying, and other causal relationships not to mention online. People feel they can tell Jews what to think and that they don't need a homeland and that their history is nonsense or irrelevant, when they know nothing about them other than hannukah is a holiday and something bad called the holocaust happened. As I am not Iranian nor Mizrahi Jewish I have no direct stake in this, but I am from a minority middle eastern culture and know what oppression and hatred looks like. My friend's nephew recently came back from college and he was spouting all sorts of hateful anti Jewish things when I was talking to him casually. I asked him one simple question, did any of your professors express a pro-Israel viewpoint? When he said no, I said to him simply doesn't that strike you as a problem and don't you think you aren't hearing the whole story? He maybe not surprisingly agreed with me on this point. I think this speaks to the fact that people do want to actually learn but they are filled up with so much of what seems like information (videos, tic tocs, biased one sided professors) that they think they have knowledge. But all they have is one extreme viewpoint, often riddled with holes, historical fallacies and a clear agenda. This however is hard to see through when you lack life experience making you easily manipulated by emotive arguments that sound like justice but are really just calls for violence and erasure.

Absolutely beautiful. Curious how selective is the outrage of certain justice warriors.
Excellent piece, and much love from an American Jew who is waiting for the day when he can travel safely to Tehran once the Ayatollahs no longer rule
