I have never been more proud of being A Jew. Genetic Jews are a race (with a faith, not a religion), and we are not historically a people of scholars – Jews literally emerged from the Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria 4,000 years ago and were and remain a warrior tribe.
Only the Priests were dealing with scholarship. The rest of the Jews were agrarian and pastoral, and both types were warriors, when needed, which was often.
How do you think Jews expanded out from Judea & Samaria to encompass all of Israel from Gaza (we conquered the non-Semitic Philistines, a Greek-Cretan tribe, twice, and utilized Queen Cleopatra III to our advantage when she sent in her top two Generals, both Jews) to the West, Negev to the South, north to what is now Southern Lebanon, and east to the edges of what was stolen by Churchill in 1922 and renamed to ‘Jordan’? Not by asking nicely but by conquering other Semitic tribes, by absorbing several and the rest we pushed out to the North (what is today’s Lebanon). The non-Arabs in Lebanon are the tribes we got rid of.
For too many years, in modern times, after Jews achieved the impossible, what no other colonized people was able to — decolonization of our land, (even if it’s just 22% of the homeland), Israeli leadership has been acting weak, giving away land for peace (including Bibi in 1997 in Hebron), negotiating with terrorists, and bombing empty buildings in Jewish Gaza.
What we are seeing now in Iran is not a ‘miracle’ as saying so diminishes the very hard work of the Mossad and the IAF, IDF, but a return to who we are as Jews. We are finally, since 1967, when we reclaimed our united Jewish capital and reclaimed our ancestral heartland, Judea & Samaria, making our Judean ancestors proud.
The results (so far – this is long before finished) in Iran is on the backs not only of Mossad and IAF in that location, but the IDF’s hard work (despite being handcuffed by Bibi) in Jewish Gaza, and pummeling Hezbollah, (though not eradicated because it is part of the Lebanese government but weakened enough). Even the Houthis have lessened their terrorist thunder.
I want every Jew to read about what Jews did during the Kitos War to exact revenge – how they decimated entire communities in Cyprus and in Libya. Read all with pride. Read about the Sicarii group and what they did to both the enemies outside and the Jewish traitors within. Those are just several examples of many of how our Judean ancestors were a formidable warrior tribe.
The Hasmonean Dynasty expansion campaigns, King Omri”s epic alliances, King David’s conquest of Jerusalem, Bar Kokhba revolts, Maccabees’ war against both the Seleucids and the Hellenized Jews resulting in the greatest Zionist military victory of all times, the Jews who fought the Crusaders in the Battle of Haifa in 1100 AD, the Jewish partisan groups during WWII, the Jewish pirates who pillaged Spanish and Portuguese ships, and the Jews who took part in the resistance groups fighting the British occupiers, especially those who fought for Lehi and Irgun are all to be recognized and celebrated.
Those Jews’ blood is deeply entrenched within every single genetic Jew.
Thank the Mizrahi Jews for Mossad
Never forget that the Mossad was started on the backs of brave Mizrahi Jews, who were sent back behind enemy lines in the 1940s to the very towns, cities, and villages where their families were expelled, their dignities attempted to be stripped.
Where even one wrong accent could mean violent death.
These are not ‘Arab Jews’ but Judeans who happened to spend their Diaspora years in land which was then conquered by Arabs. Just like Sephardic Jews are Judeans and via Sephardim, so are Ashkenaz Jews. All genetic Ashkenaz Jews have Sephardic roots, as it was some (approximately 20,000) Sephardim who were moving east and established a separate Diaspora culture. There are also Jews who never left Israel.
Even after the final exile in 136 AD, 700K Jews remained, not an insignificant amount for that time.
Why Not to Conflate Antisemitism on the Left with Antisemites on the Right
Here is the difference between the left and right in terms of antisemitism…the left allows Jew-hatred in all forms to be part of their platform. The right does not. Case in point has been the complete backlash against Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, and others regarding Iran.
Social media is not real life and we Republicans are not taking their fear mongering about ‘being pushed to war’ as reality. Iran has BEEN at war with America since 1979– the hostages taken by Iran were not Israeli but all Americans. The troops bombed by an Iranian proxy in Beirut were not Israeli but Americans. So, there is no ‘dragging’ – just reality. It just so happens that Trump is smart enough to have Israel take the lead on this war against the terrorist regime, as Israel has been planning the mechanism needed to carry out operations inside Iran, for years.
What America is needed for is simply to deploy the 30,000 lb MOAB. That is all. Israel does not have troops on the ground in Iran and so certainly America has no need for troops.
In a recent poll, 57% of Americans are for Israel’s actions against Iran. That % skyrockets to 84% among Republicans.
Zionism Fact of the Week: November 6, 1944 – Lord Moyne, who was responsible for implementing the 1939 White Paper and forcibly sending boats of Jewish refugees back to certain death by the Nazis, was executed in Cairo by two Lehi members, Eliyahu Hakim and Eliyahu Bet – Zuri.
