The Enemy

This should go without saying but given what I’m seeing shared these days (to be fair, after six months of warfare, psychological and actual, and antisemitism erupting worldwide, but nonetheless):

Palestinians are not The Enemy.

Arabs are not The Enemy.

Muslims are not The Enemy.

Hamas is The Enemy.

Hezbollah is The Enemy.

Khomeini and his ayatollahs are The Enemy.

Our fight – not just of the IDF but really of every Jewish person in the current socio-political world order – is not with anyone who seeks their own advancement through peaceful ways and democratic means. Certainly not with anyone who seeks to coexist with us on moral, honorable terms.

Our fight is with every individual who seeks their own advancement through our literal destruction.

Let’s keep our eyes on the proverbial ball and not fall into the same rut of irrational bigotry in which our adversaries are stuck.
