100 Days

100 days since October 7. 100 days since we saw Naama Levy, Noa Argamani and the Bibas family stolen from Israel. 100 days they have lived in an unknown hell. 100 days since Hamas terrorists brutalized and kidnapped over 240 similar hostages into Gaza. Over 130 still remain, including Carmel Gat and Romi Gonen, whose families I have sat with. 100 days and the world is still tearing down their posters and erasing their faces. 100 days and so many people have still said nothing. 100 days.

I saw this at Griffith Park today. Kfir Bibas is almost a year old. His birthday is in a few days. I went to the house he was taken from in Nir Oz a week or two ago and stood in the yard he should be playing in. For months this poster remained intact because it’s hard to reach. But 100 days after Kfir was kidnapped, I notice there’s a new little sticker next to his poster, to the left. See it up there. Disgusting. It made me so mad. 100 days of this constant gaslighting.

The West is allowing an evil sickness to flourish in its streets without any form of consequence or resistance. You have to have noodles for brains to put a sticker like this on a poster of an infant baby. Do not for one second tell me that this is about human rights of Palestinians, that this is about peace, that this is about progress, that this is about exposing the Israeli government, that this is about criticism of Israel. This is antisemitism. It is evil and rotten to the core. And absolutely screw every single one of you who profits from this grift to be popular and of the moment. Imagine if it was your baby. 100 days of Kfir’s life spent in Hamas captivity. One-third of Kfir’s life. 100 days.

100 days since Hamas attempted a genocide upon Israel, and swore to repeat it again and again. 100 days since the world began worshipping Hamas, contextualizing October 7, and DARVO-ing Israel, accusing her of genocide against the Palestinians. Well, all they have is propaganda. We have facts. To prove genocide, you need to prove intent. Let me tell you, we Jews are really shit at genocide. 100 days of delivering cold hard facts:

For the curious: do you know how propaganda works? The key to indoctrination is slogans that repeat phrases or words over and over again, until the masses parrot them and believe them. If you say the word GENOCIDE enough times it becomes true, no matter how baseless the evidence. The social media landscape is about repetition of hashtags and catchy slogans. You retweet enough times and it becomes fact. As Sasha Baron Cohen once spoke, and I’m paraphrasing - Goebbels would have had a field day with Facebook. You don’t have to be any kind of genius to manipulate an army of sheep and boost posts with fake bot accounts. With enough money you can create a massive noise that isn’t rooted in evidence or truth. And then it spills out into the real world, unchallenged. 100 days of building this Tower of Babel.

In the streets of London yesterday, the “peace” protestors were marching for the Houthis in the Red Sea. They were marching for a terrorist organization. The truth is they have been marching for terrorists since October 7. They were marching for Hamas. Not Palestinians. Hamas. Our streets are overrun with terrorist supporters, backed by the mainstream media, the legal system and celebrity influencers. 100 days of virtue-less signalling.

Yesterday, on the streets of London, Mohammed El Kurd praised October 7 in London to a sea of 200,000 yesterday and advocated for “more massacres”. El Kurd has trolled me on Twitter since 2021 from behind a block. He is a terrorism apologist posing as a freedom fighter and a “journalist”. Afterwards he took to Twitter to goad the Metropolitan Police’s official account for not arresting him. 100 days of this momentum against state aparatus.

It only took 100 days for a man to stand surrounded by hundreds of thousands advocating freely for the same thing that Hamas’s leaders advocate for in the United Kingdom. 100 days.

Joining him was Jeremy Corbyn, who attended the rallies and also offered his support to the Houthis.

Jeremy Corbyn is a lesson. The man praises terror groups and refuses to denounce his "friends" Hamas. He totally destroyed the Labour party, the party of the British working classes – and denied the British working classes a robust voting alternative to the Conservative party. He created a campaign rooted in propaganda and baseless slogans such as "for the many, not the few" and they were baseless because he didn't stand for his principles. He was focused on himself and his own agenda at the behest of the matters that actually concern the people he purported to represent. And that and that alone is why he lost the heart of the British working classes. Jeremy Corbyn is a fraud and he is a lesson. He is a lesson in what happens when society worships false idols who have zero moral backbone. In those instances, society loses as a whole. Stop worshiping false idols. Stop warping liberalism by hitching it to extreme ideologies. Stick to the bread and butter of the issues that matter to every day people.

People who care about people should care about the people held hostage in Gaza.

100 days.

The South Africans are masters of this propaganda and their attorneys at the ICJ this week were useful idiots. South Africa is the rape capital of the world. Women born there are more likely to be raped than to be able to read. There is more violent crime there than in Middle Eastern countries such as Afghanistan. South Africa is among the most racist countries in the world. And what are they committed to? Proving that it’s the fault of the Jews, basically. It took only 100 days for them to put Israel on trial for that which we just narrowly survived. 100 agonizing days.

100 days into the war, I want to make something clear, because it’s becoming more apparent that the end game here is reducing empathy for Jews as victims, and continuing to universalize the Holocaust as just a bad event that happened and had a terrible effect on the whole world. Let’s just set the record straight here. Preserving education around the Holocaust is one matter - and a serious matter at that. But. The context for Israel is not the Holocaust.

The Jews weren't gifted a country because we were persecuted. We returned to our indigenous homeland via a self-determination movement known as Zionism. Zionism is as old as Judaism itself, for in the Torah the Jews have always prayed to Israel and Jerusalem, and our genes have determined that we have direct lineage to the Levant, not to mention the overwhelming amount of archaeological evidence that exists there tying our history and our roots to the modern state of Israel. The Jews reclaimed one country as our homeland. That is the context for Israel. It is important to hold onto this in a post-October 7 world. The persecution of the Jews is not the root cause for Israel's legitimacy, and if the world decides that we’ve never been persecuted or that we deserved it, then that still doesn’t justify delegitimizing and dismantling our one country.

100 days, and Israel still has a right to exist because the Jews have a right to self-determine in our homeland. 100 days and we’re not giving up.
