I’m sitting here, heart aching, eyes stinging, trying to put into words the overwhelming grief I feel for Israel. This isn’t just news. This isn’t just politics. This is pain—deep, raw pain that cuts through history and through human decency. And yet, somehow, the world refuses to see it.

I’ve always felt a deep, personal connection to Israel—a land and people chosen by God, woven into my heart by both faith and history. Even though I’m not Israeli by birth, my spirit finds meaning and purpose in Israel’s remarkable survival and its profound role in our shared spiritual heritage.


A Day of Horror

I will never, ever forget October 7. That morning, while the world carried on as if it were just another day, Israel was plunged into hell. Families ripped apart. People slaughtered in their homes. Innocent souls taken hostage, dragged into darkness by an enemy that doesn’t see them as people, but as pawns in their twisted game. Hamas didn’t just attack Israel. They didn’t just kill. They didn’t just terrorize. They made a statement: “We want every last Jewish person erased from this earth.”

Can you even fathom that level of hatred? Can you imagine waking up one day and finding out that your entire country is being hunted? That the world—your supposed allies—are watching it happen and instead of standing with you, they’re debating whether you deserve to fight back?

I don’t have words for the injustice.


Hamas is NOT a Resistance

I’m tired of the lies. I’m tired of the excuses. Hamas is not fighting for freedom. Hamas is not protecting Palestinians. Hamas is a terrorist organization—plain and simple. Their charter literally states their goal: the complete eradication of Israel and the Jewish people. That is their mission, and everything they do reflects that mission. The attacks, the bombs, the human shields—they are not freedom fighters. They are murderers.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists. We don’t sympathize with terrorists. And we don’t sit back and watch as they drag innocent people into hell. Israel has every right—every single right—to defend itself. To get its hostages back. To protect its children. And yet, when Israel fights back, the world recoils.

Do people not understand? Do they not see what’s happening? Or do they simply not care?


Israel’s Fight to Exist

I don’t think people realize what Israel has been through. I don’t think people grasp that this tiny country—the only Jewish state in the entire world—has been fighting for its survival for thousands of years. We remember the Holocaust, but what came before that? Exile. Massacres. Oppression. Attempts to erase Jewish identity over and over again. The destruction of the Second Temple, which forced the Jewish people into diaspora for centuries. The endless wars since Israel became a nation again.

And yet, they returned. Against all odds, Israel fought its way back home. But just when they thought they could finally breathe, enemies surrounded them—bigger, stronger, relentless. And now, with Hamas, that same evil has come roaring back.

They don’t want peace. They want Israel gone.


The Double Standard

I’ve lost count of how many times Israel has been vilified. Countries commit horrific crimes—mass executions, torture, destruction of entire communities—and barely anyone blinks. But Israel? Israel defends itself, and suddenly the world loses its mind. Why? Why does Israel bear the weight of impossible expectations? Why is Israel condemned for not lying down and accepting its destruction?

The hypocrisy is sickening.

Israel has every right to exist. Every right to protect its people. Every right to bring its hostages home. And yet, when it does what ANY nation would do in its place, the world rushes to blame it.

Wow, just unbelievable. Has the world gone truly mad? 

Looks like it.


Terrorism Cannot Be Tolerated

We had the right idea during World War II. When Nazism threatened the world, we didn’t hesitate. We condemned it completely, fiercely, relentlessly. We didn’t let Nazi ideology breathe—we stomped it out. That’s what we need to do now with Hamas and every terrorist group that follows its lead. Terrorism cannot be tolerated. It cannot be negotiated with. It cannot be given the benefit of the doubt.

We must condemn it fully. We must call it what it is.

Because if we don’t, if we let even one inch of sympathy creep in, we invite more horror—  more October 7ths, not just to Israel, but to our very doorsteps.


I Stand With Israel

I am standing with Israel. I am standing with its right to exist, to defend itself, to reclaim its stolen people, to never again be forced into exile. And I am begging—pleading—for the world to wake up before it’s too late.

Because this isn’t just Israel’s fight. This is humanity’s fight. 

It is time, not just for Israel, but for the whole world to say "Never again". 

Terrorism cannot be excused. It cannot be justified. It cannot be given a platform, a defense, or a single ounce of sympathy. Hamas does not fight for peace. They do not fight for justice. They fight to eradicate. To eliminate. To destroy.

And if the world cannot muster the courage to call them out for what they are—if leaders, governments, influencers, and everyday people continue to turn a blind eye or worse, to defend them—then we are all complicit in allowing terrorism to thrive.

We will be guilty of repeating history.

We will be guilty of ignoring the warnings.

And one day, when terror knocks on our own door, we won’t have the moral ground left to stand on.

Hamas is not just Israel’s enemy. They are the enemy of anyone who values freedom, life, and dignity. And if we do not stand together in total, unified condemnation—if we do not demand that terrorism be wiped out the way Nazism was wiped out—then we will be leaving behind a world where terror is not just tolerated but accepted.

I refuse to accept that.

I refuse to let history repeat itself.

And I refuse to stand by in silence while innocent lives are destroyed by hatred.

Stand with Israel. Stand with truth. Stand with justice.

Because if we don’t, there will be nothing left to stand for.
