Take care of *yourself* - you mean so much to so many of us. You deserve a break. When I get discouraged, I remember what Rabbi Tarphon said in Pirke Avot: "You are not required to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." But he didn't prohibit vacations. Treat yourself kindly.

I Loved you for years. Not only for women and madness but for you being the first to call out far left antisemitism back in the 90s. You did enough! Rest!

I don't blame you for being a bit discouraged.

I don' t understand what drives the elites/ the protestors/ the haters... It is everywhere.. Re the deportment of illegals.. Obama deported over a million and not a word of complaint fom the lefty haters.. They stop Trump at every turn.. I don't think they even know why they hate.. They just do ...

I am not Israeli. I am not Jewish. But I understand a little of what you are going through. Every time I defend Israel I am told that Hamas is horrible but Israel “created” the possibility for Hamas. I don’t even know what that means. I imagine it is because people buy the propaganda of so-called Israeli overreach. And I don’t know what that means, either (Israeli overreach). I have decided to just laugh when people say these things and give a sarcastic “alrighty then” remark and move on.

I know what is true. I heard Caroline Glick speak at JNS and cheered the whole time whaling out my Amens. Maybe give it a listen if you haven’t already.

How would they explain the muslim massacre of Hindus in Kashmir and in Bangladesh, the muslim genocides of Christians in Africa, the muslim massacres of Christians, Yazidis, Alawites, Druze in Syria and I could go on. I cannot believe people can be so stupid and clueless as to not understand that hamas is just one front in the islamic global war against civilization. Why are they so incapable of being able to connect the dots? Hamas isn't a response to anything Israelis do, but because of who they are. It is an arm of the muslim brotherhood carrying out islamic doctrine as stated in the Koran and other islamic writings.

I feel burnt out this week. Sticking to short notes for the time being. We all need a rest.

It can get overwhelming. Good list of other writers. Did you know that Elder of Ziyon has a substack now?
