9-11 Eighteen Years Later: Never Forget, Never Forgive,

September 11, 2019 by Robert J. Avrech 2 Comments

The Torah teaches that we should forever remember what Amalek did to the children of Israel in the desert. Furthermore, the Torah commands us to wipe this evil off the face of the earth.

Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, how he attacked you on the way when you were faint and weary, and cut off your tail, those who were lagging behind you, and he did not fear God. Therefore when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.

—Deuteronomy 25

Israel is one of the most free and most prosperous countries in the world. Not only is Israel a booming economy and a wellspring of innovation, it is the only democracy in the Middle East. So why is it so controversial to support the Jewish state? Stephen Harper, the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada, lays out several fundamental truths about America’s most critical ally.

Bibi is Back

My arm still aches from surgery last week so I can’t type for very long. But I did want to note Likud/Bibi’s apparent win in the Israeli elections, which will make him the longest serving PM in the Jewish State’s history.

In a funny way, I almost wish that the Blue & White/Gantz party had emerged victorious, because their policies, vis a vis the Arabs who (thanks to the propaganda branch of the KGB) call themselves Palestinians, would be no different than Likud.

That’s because (sane) Israelis understand that the enemy are, um, genocidal fanatics.

Jew Hatred and the Democrat Party

The decision by the Democrats to provide cover for Ilhan Omar’s Jew-hatred is a turning point in American politics, perhaps in American history.

In the past, Jew-hatred in America was a social distaste: Jews were barred from certain country clubs, hotels, and law firms. Admission to Ivy League universities was limited by quotas.

The American government was never institutionally anti-Semitic.
