I was nodding my head reading every word you wrote. You captured the moment we’re in perfectly. I concur that we must unite because our future is at stake.
Very well written. I was a Jewish New Yorker in my youth. There were so many of us that schools were closed during the High Holy days because both teachers and students were predominantly Jewish. It's a different New York City world today. I left a long time ago. Dena, something you might consider is working for the election of Eric Adams. It's our best hope right now. If too many candidates run, the votes will be disbursed, and the communist lunatic will win.
Glas to hear it, Dena. I'm optimistic that New York will come to its senses. I've never understood why Jewish voters overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. When I was very young, I asked my dad, how do you know who to vote for?" He said, "when you see a Jewish name, that's who you vote for." But dad went strongly to the right. He was the only conservative in their wide circle of friends. Alan Dershowitz, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, David Horowitz and others made the pilgrimage from left to right.
It is technically still true, at the moment, that Israel has “internationally recognized borders,” but (except for the United States during Republican administrations) I wouldn’t be sure about tomorrow.
Alas.
Of course, ultimately a state’s borders are those it can and will defend, and that goes double for the Jewish State.
Outstanding essay, Dena
Thank you so much!

Thank you Fred!! Absolutely I signed up to work on his campaign.

That comes with age.
Excellent said. 👏

Great article. It’s a sad truth.
