Do not cease in your fight for the truth. Remember Hanna Senech, the Israeli poet who gave her all. If I had your platform I would speak out til my last breath.
Your health (mental and physical) comes first. You would be completely justified in taking a break. That being written, however, you're one of the (alas, few) major voices promoting reason, critical thinking, and analysis of issues. You're one of my personal heroines. We need every fearless voice we can get to maintain common sense and liberty in this ideology-infested intellectual world.
Keep writing and speaking in your voice. I, for one, only came across your work this past year because a friend in Jerusalem recommended I read your memoir An American Bride in Kabul. I have never looked back and found the book incredibly powerful and insightful for such a time as this. You are a scholar who can speak to the general public. I see you as a Queen Esther figure (that is not hyperbole). I, for one, want to continue reading you. I hope you keep writing because it matters.
Leave it to the NY slimes to imply that Israel broke the ceasefire in Lebanon in their headline and waiting until the second paragraph to say hezbollah rocket fire into Israel preceded the Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Did you see clips of Leslie Stahl asking former hostage if hamas starved them because they just didn't have enough food? Never mind that they were eating in front of the hostages. Unbelievable that she would ask such a question considering everything we know about how cruel, barbaric and evil hamas is capable of being. What the hell is wrong with the media? Why do they bend over backwards to defend terrorists and constantly find fault with Israel?
It is bizarre that you would lose friends and relatives for supporting western civilization and Israel. I cannot understand their mindset. Do they think islamic and communist societies are preferable? Keep writing on these important subjects.
Don't quit speaking out.. What you lost obviously had no real value.. (including supposed friends).. "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me TRUTH".. Henry David Thoreau
Keep pointing out the disingenuous of the NYT on Israel! And also about your knowledge of Islam from the inside. People need to know.

Phyllis Chesler please keep courageously speaking truth to the lies!
The louder and more persistent you are the more sharing and raising of awareness will occur.
Thank you
