I sat down and read through the entire speech of my Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was magnificent. I want to thank him for being the conduit for the wisdom of our Jewish heritage which places so much emphasis on the sanctity of life. It is not a coincidence that Jews are the ones facing the Iranian monster which glorifies and sanctifies death and martyrdom. We Jews are fundamentally, immovably, opposed to such ideas and our conflict with jihadis can never be resolved. It is an eternal battle to the death. I thank Mr. Netanyahu for making Americans, and the rest of the world that was listening in, including millions of Muslims, understand this; for making the case for our beliefs, and standing proudly as a Jew, and as a defender of civilization against barbarism.

So many have forgotten what this conflict is really all about. Thank you Mr. Netanyahu for clarifying it so that even the most deluded must now understand what it is Israelis are fighting for, and that we are the only side for those who love God, love life, and respect civilized norms, to be on. In his Churchillian words: “It’s a clash between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life.”

One of the most moving passages in his speech was the story of Yehiel Leitner, whose father escaped the Holocaust, and whose son Moshe became an officer in an elite commando unit, all the while raising six children. He served with distinction for two decades, and then retired. But on October 7, Moshe volunteered to return to his unit. He was killed when a booby-trapped mine exploded in a tunnel shaft next to a mosque. At his son’s funeral, Yehiel said: “If the State of Israel had not been established after the Holocaust, the image engraved on our collective memory would have been the photograph of that helpless Jewish boy in the Warsaw Ghetto holding his hands in the air with Nazi rifles pointed at him. But because of the birth of Israel,” Yehiel continued, “because of the courage of soldiers like my son Moshe, the Jewish people are no longer helpless in the face of our enemies.”

I agree with Netanyahu. “Never Again” must never be an empty promise. It must be a sacred vow.

Netanyahu did an amazing thing. In front of the entire world he gave a history lesson of the Jewish connection to the land of Israel. He gave a lecture about the scourge of antisemitism, and he gave the finger to the genteel antisemites of academia, the world court, and those who have fallen for Hamas propaganda. He defended Israel against the libels of starving the Gazans, of targeting civilians. Most importantly he reminded Americans that both our countries are at war with Iran and its fanatic plan to export murderous jihadi violence in order to impose universal Sharia law.

He reminded Americans that before they can conquer America, Iran needs to conquer the Middle East, and tiny Israel – the one proud democracy in the entire region – is the only thing standing in their way. And then he said this: “Our enemies are your enemies, and our victory will be your victory.”

My deepest thanks, and profound gratitude to you, Prime Minister Netanyahu, for telling the world the truth in all our names.

Every day we see the true face of our enemy that is so hidden from Western useful idiots. Today, rockets were fired by Hamas from the center of the humanitarian zone. This is monstrous on many levels: that they are setting up weapons in this area inviting attack and endangering civilians. But in this case, the rockets landed within the camp, killing numerous Gazans.

Israel has been doing something differently in Gaza because there are fewer casualties among our troops. It think it’s the robots placing bombs that can be detonated from afar.

Acting on precise intelligence, Israel was able to bring home the bodies of five Israelis being held in a tunnel in Khan Yunis. Imagine, kidnapping dead bodies and holding them for ransom… This is who we are fighting against. Barbarians.

And I cannot end without saying a few things about Kamala Harris, who did not attend Netanyahu’s speech, even though it was her job to do so (I know, I know. She had ‘prior commitments’. Baloney). Quite aside from her anti-Israel stance, Kamala Harris is the candidate of the far-out crazy Left that has made America less safe, less free, and less prosperous. Here are some inconvenient facts about her voting record:

• She co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation.
• She backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All Legislation and supported giving taxpayer funded coverage to all illegal immigrants.
• She backed banning private health insurance.
• She backed defunding the police.
• She compared ICE to the KKK.
• She wanted to undo the Trump administration’s border security, supporting 94 executive actions in the first 100 days of her administration to rescind nearly every Trump-era measure.
• She supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings, said she wouldn’t treat illegal aliens as “criminals.”
• She raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-Left organization that pays to bail our violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
• She supported Los Angeles’ cuts to their police department and called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking.”

I can’t understand why any American would vote for her. She isn’t intelligent. She isn’t a leader. She’s a lackey of the far-Left, which makes her an enemy of the common people.

And for those of you out there who will no doubt tell me to shut up, that this is America’s business and I’m not an American, I say this: I’ve paid U.S. taxes for fifty years, and voted in every election. Just because I live in Israel, doesn’t mean I don’t care about my birthplace.

This is my business, as an American and as an Israeli and a Jew. And as a human being who wants the world to defeat the barbarians who threaten us all, whether they break down the border fences surrounding Gaza, or crawl through the barbed wire along the Rio Grande, or sail into Europe on their boats.
