The human mind is built to respond to images and narrative, not to cross-reference satellite data and dig for facts.
Whether we like it or not, the world pays attention to what Jews say and do. And they watch us not just with criticism, but with hope.
There is a pattern here, and it is an old one. But it represents both a crisis and an opportunity for the Jewish people.
A distinct pattern in this modern phenomenon relates to the deepest roots of antisemitism and differs fundamentally from other forms of bigotry.
Instead of lamenting why the Jewish state isn’t treated the same as other countries, why not focus less on fitting in and more on standing out?
The conduct of the IDF vis-à-vis the protection of civilians on both sides has no equal or precedent.
