Once again, a brilliant, historically spot-on article - if only history mattered… it’s a sad state of affairs when history and truth is outweighed by wokeism… and let’s face it, anti-Jewism, and Islamism. Thank you, Josh. Spread the truth - we have that, we have justice, and we have Hashem.

Thank you Joe. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. Of course, I agree with everything you said - well stated. Yes, Hashem, and everything He has given us. We don't need "proofs" for His existence, but the fact that the Jewish people are here is the best proof.

Those who willfully forget history condemn others to relive the bad parts. That’s the most fun part of forgetting history.

I well remember those heartbreaking tears as those residents were dragged from their homes.

It would be great if even just the majority of Israelis cared about our history. The rest of the world doesn't matter to me -- but fellow Israelis?

Thanks for reading this Sheri! What about your fellow Jews outside of Israel? We all need to care. I also think that far more of us care than you probably think, most Jews just don't have the tools, because they were never given them, to understand.

You are right, but I am puzzled by my fellow Israeli Jews who do not seem to care about our history.

Any decent edition of Kiddush and Zemitks for Shabbos includes Zemirks composed by Rabbi Najara of Gaza

Nothing Jewish about Israel either.

I read your article. It's good. I don't agree though that it's "more complicated," this just isn't a format for an exhaustive history. There is almost always more for, anyone, to learn. Thank you for reading my piece!

There is always a guy like you, every time. Fortunately, no one sane/educated gives even the slightest damn what you think.
