Israel is the ultimate response

Now that we have celebrated Yom Haatzma’ut, it is worth stating a truth that much of the West still does not understand: the greatest memorial to the Holocaust is not found in stone, glass, or ceremony. It is the sovereign State of Israel. Museums matter. Memorials matter. Testimony matters. But none of them can stop a pogrom, intercept a missile, rescue hostages, or defeat an army sworn to destroy the Jewish people. Israel can. That is why Jewish independence is not merely a political achievement…When Jews say “Never Again,” they are not reciting a line for memorial ceremonies. They are making a declaration of policy. This is also why so many in the West fundamentally misread Israel. They assume the conflict is mainly about borders, settlements, “occupation,” or competing national narratives. Those on our side imagine that with enough diplomacy, enough concessions, and enough hasbara, the hostility will subside and the Jewish state will finally be accepted. READ MORE
MELISSA BRODSKY SUBSTACK The Fire Is Here: An Open Letter to Jewish Organizations and Leaders They came prepared. You came with a Insta quote graphic. An open letter to the organizations we trusted with our lives. After every attack you find the words. After every funeral you find the words. After every vigil…you find the words. Words aren’t the problem. You are. And you’ve had years of practice writing the perfect statement after Jews get hurt because you’ve never bothered to build a reason not to write one. Jews are being hunted in Canada, the UK, Belgium, Australia, France, Spain, across Europe, and right here in the United States. Synagogues. Community centers. Malls. Restaurants. Early childhood classrooms. The street. The targets aren’t random and the pattern isn’t subtle. This is a coordinated, escalating, global campaign against Jewish people. And it’s working, in part, because the people and institutions that exist to stop it are too busy carefully crafting politically correct statements to actually fight back.
