While we can not trust any politican; i find the notion that Al Derech Teva Biden/Harris is better for Israel than Trump, to be absurd. Just compare their terms: Under Trump, Israel was much safer, and the region was coming to peace with the Abraham Accords. Under Biden/Harris, we got October 7th. And Al Derech Hateva; its easy to connect it to their policies. Biden and Harris look like a bunch of weaklings who are always talking about de-escalation; wheres Trump is perceived as a tough maniac who its not Kidai to start up with. Trump sanctioned Iran, where’s Biden and Harris took them off in the name of diplomacy.
So yeah, it’s nice they’re sending weapons now; but they are also the ones who led to this mess in the first place. And to be clear: that Harris would stop sending weapons is actually much more likely than Trump doing so. Harris has toyed with idea of making arms-embargo’s on Israel if they don’t do what she wants (as has Biden), and a lot more of the democrat base is in favor of cutting off weapons than the Maga base (just look at polls.)
So no, I’m not buying it.“If you did not get ill, you still have to protect others by taking the vaccine”
The problem is that the vaccine had many risks as well; it is not acceptable to force millions of people to take a new vaccine which could have tons of risks and side effects, in order to possibly protect other people; and that’s besides the fact that research now shows they did not even prevent the spread of the virus. you could look this last part up.
Biden tried to force as many people as possible to get the vaccine, which may have harmed millions of other Americans.
“I was actually gonna start my own post (I still might) but here goes nothing.
The belief that “Antisemitism is NEVER our fault.” is not true.
Sometimes knowingly or not we bring it upon ourselves due to our actions or behavior.”Unfortunately, there is much truth to that. This is not to say that antisemitism is justified – it is obviously not- nor to deny that there are way too many biggoted people who will always hate us. But at the same time, there are many antisemites who have ended up that way because of terrible expereinces they had with jews. I think that some Frum people just work with the mindset that Goyim hate us anyway, and are oblivious to things they do that can cause or fuel antismeitsm. Candace Owens is a good example of this phenonium. The comments she has been making about jews and Israel in recent months have been totally repulsive. But many people do not know the history of what led her to embrace these disgusting views. Much earlier this year, she made an ignorant tweet about the war in Israel implying that it was a genocide. And shortly after, she said that she was told that Muslims in Israel are forced to live in the Muslim Quarter. These comments came out of ignorance, not malice, and i really believe that had Jews had respectful dialogue with her about the issue, she would have been open to changing her mind, and certainly she would not have developed the fanatical hatred for Jews and Israel that she has now. But instead, some Jews, including a very controversial Rabbi, made it their life mission to harras her, have smear campaigns against her, and even to send her death threats. I have listened to her shows from that time period, and she was clearly very emotionally scarred from these expereinces. And this has led her to accept every vile antisemitic theory out there (Frankist Jews putting Christan blood in their Matzahs, israel being behind 9/11, and Jews basically being behind every bad thing in the world, etc.)
I think this is an important point for us to keep in mind.
