Can’t Wish Truth Away

Pay attention. Yesterday, Kamala agreed with a heckler claiming Israel was committing genocide. No, Israel is not. Instead of speaking truth, Kamala repeated his gaslighting lies.

She crossed a red line.

US experts on modern military urban warfare have praised Israel for doing everything possible and succeeding in targeting terrorist combatants, not civilians, in an impossible situation. Hamas admitted that over 80-90% killed in Gaza were actually Hamas and their families. That’s war, like it or not.

Today an anonymous campaign official tried to clean up her mess. But for a candidate who is running against lies, she made it clear that lies about Israel are an exception – if it wins her votes from the targeted demographic she is speaking to. She actually repeated herself, so there is no mistaking the rhetorical, political game she was playing – at the expense of the Jewish people and Israel.

Imagine the uproar if she said she “respected the voice” of a Klan member or Proud Boy or any neo-Nazi. Kamala, plant all the pomegranate trees you want, but stop using hatred of Jews to win the Presidency.

With all the antisemitic media bias, we are living in an era gearing up to an Islamic Holocaust against the Jews. The only reason it will be avoided is due to Israel defeating the enemies of both Israel and the US.

Israel got that monster Sinwar. So the US Intelligence spies on our ally and leaks intel to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, our enemy?!

Where exactly are we at, at this point?

We have learned that for 11 months Sinwar kept our six hostages as human shields next to him in his terror tunnel. When he decided to make a run for it, he ordered their execution. Why? Because they were so emaciated and weak from his torture, they would be a hindrance to his escape.

There was never going to be a hostage deal. Even now, as Bibi offered amnesty and safe passage out for any Gazan, including Hamas, who returns hostages, they have refused. Utterly devastating.

America’s foreign policy is failing. Our domestic policy isn’t far behind. Per new reporting, child sex trafficking at the border more than tripled under the Biden/Harris Administration. I will repeat that. Child sex trafficking more than tripled.

It was already horrendous from Trump’s policies. Kamala was specifically tasked with resolving the situations at the border. Epic fail. She is not the savior many of you think she is. We have set the bar too low.

If you aren’t taking this all very personally, you are STUCK. Trump is a threat to me as a woman. To me as an ally to LGBTQ and all persons of color, to children of gun violence, to planet earth. Many of us get THAT.

But Kamala Harris is a very real threat to me as a Jewish woman. She constantly speaks out of two sides of her mouth, refuses to stake out clear moral positions, doesn’t care that she actually encourages blood libels and Jew-hatred.

“Israel has the right to defend itself.” Dudette that’s bare minimum! And why kneecap Israel at nearly every turn?

Kamala emphatically told Israel not to send the IDF into Rafah. That delay cost hostages, including an American, their lives.

I want a change in government for Israel. That’s much more easily accomplished because Israel is in fact a democracy.

“Palestinians deserve self-determination.” That’s the line, ad nauseum. First, they deserve and desperately need deradicalization. Especially for the sake of women, children and LGBTQ. That will take years, likely decades of mental, emotional, and legal grueling self-excavation. It will require real dedication to profound change. History has taught and proven this necessity.

Abbas sure as hell isn’t capable of being that leader. Neither Trump nor Harris nor Biden have had the guts or possibly even insight to speak to the essential reality of undoing years of internalized sharia and radical terrorism. Woman up, Kamala!

You can’t snap your fingers and click your heels. The Middle East isn’t a birthday candle.

Clueless or malevolent? Does it much matter? You’re still sticking needles in my eyes. This election has been tormenting.
