Hamas terrorists are so weak and lame they needed the hyper-hallucinogenic drug, Captagon, supplied by Syria, and buckets of cocaine up their nose in order to commit their atrocities on Oct 7th. They have zero faith in God. Or themselves. Or their fake cause.

And because so many of this generation feel the exact same way, they’re total suckers for the hatred and lies of a death cult.

Progressive dems have shown themselves to be ignorant, consumed with hate, addicted to evil and thoroughly hypocritical – they are the 2024 flip side, mirror image in many ways of Q-Anon.

Now, if any of our leaders were telling THAT truth and capable of real leadership, I would feel more inspired by them. They lack the moral clarity and strength to take that on.

Every time they express empathy for the feelings of the Islamic Youth Nazis roaming our streets in droves, attacking Jews, I think, something is truly shallow and lacking and perhaps unknowingly devious in their brain and heart. It’s where the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward… political expediency.

Some of you may be wondering why I’ve been frustrated with Kamala Harris… it turns out, I don’t do well with disappointment. I want more from her than she’s capable of, I suppose.

I spent years railing against and castigating Trump. I have zero expectations from him as a human being.

But seeing Kamala’s clear limitations has not assured or comforted – not in the face of what’s needed at this crucial time. I wish America had a better choice.

I wish Progressive dems hadn’t insisted on making Jewish people a poltical partisan issue. And Biden and Harris continue to give them approbation – the proverbial talking out of both sides of their mouths, to the grave harm of American Jews.

I can’t help but wonder why she never talks about the Muslim Arabs slaughtering and raping Blacks in Sudan, a crisis so much worse than Gaza will ever be? Tens of millions of children in famine.

No wonder she picked the shifty coach instead of a governor with gravitas. His goofy, slippery, obtuse persona is a useful sideshow. He is the Dan Quale of the Dems.

It turns out, in the 2024 election season, it’s easier to use Jews like a political bloody sport to achieve your goals. Kick us around until you’re done with us.

But what of this generation? History has taught us that their behavior will need to be criminalized and abolished, as they were in Germany, a country that was determined to rebuild their moral foundation. We already have laws in place to do this, to protect Jews, as part of the Civil Rights Act… but this Administration has refused to enforce them.

This generation will need to accept defeat. Both by Israel – and by society at large. That will be a harder task now than it was in post-Nazi Germany. In part because they were raised to believe there are no losers – everyone gets a reward or award, just for participating! And in part because I don’t know that America has the stomach for the kind of tough love necessary to transform our culture. Is Kamala really prepared to lead and not merely placate?

I submit that if you’re not asking these questions, you’re not doing our country – or our people – any favors. As a Jewish feminist dem, I’m wondering when the grown ups are going to enter the room – but I think I’m waiting for Godot.
