Thank you Eve. You give me so much courage. My American non Jewish family doesn’t even know the names of the hostages or that they are being released. I’m told that I’m “too extreme” while they freak out about things that Trump didn’t even do. I will keep writing. I am proud that I have stayed with Israel and the Jewish faith worldwide whether my family approves or not. My father, who was a huge support of Israel and very proud f my activism, passed away in late December. I miss him. I have a new worldwide family now. All of you. Love you Eve.
You eloquently, powerfully write what so many of us feel but lack the talent and ability to do so. We then desperately amplify your voice hoping, praying to sway gullible minds. We may not succeed, but we need YOU, Eve, to keep going and to keep defending the Jewish people and Am Yisrael. Your words brings us comfort, relief, validation. You are our hope!
As a trauma therapist I can answer your question. Traumatic episodes only end when the survivor is heard and believed. Since we are still, as Jews, being DARVO’d about who is the perpetrator here our traumatic episode cannot end.
Thank you for your voice Eve. I’ve been here since the beginning and I will always read you.
Also, Medusa was extremely beautiful and smart and mortal. And Athena was jealous. There is something more to the feminists denying our suffering. They cannot manage their jealousy of our sisterhood, our intellect and our light. All Jewish girls are taught to read, to enjoy their beauty and to be a light in the world. Fuck’em.

thank you for your voice and your J'accuse to the false humanitarians who have enabled this terror to exist for so long...
Please keep writing, if you can, you say all the things in my mind & in my heart, but i do not know how to verbalize. Please stay safe & thank you for continuing to be an Eshet Chayil for all Jewish women living in this darkness. Shabbat Shalom Eve 🫶

Eve, I just finished reading the Athena post. Then I opened my email and I saw this in a news feed: “The Red Cross issued a statement saying they reminded Israel and Hamas that the handovers of hostages and detainees should be carried out "safely and with dignity." Earlier, a security source said that Red Cross workers had expressed outrage as Palestinian prisoners were being led out with handcuffed hands locked above their heads”. …..After reading what you wrote and then reading this statement my reaction is … Are you *#&! kidding me!? Handcuffs over the head versus what you described. You said it best I can’t say anymore than what you said - I am outraged and thank you for saying it in words that are better than what I could put together. You always express what lies in my heart - thank you. Whenever I read your writing, I feel as if, in the words that you release, you allow me to release what emotion is within me. Thank you.
“I chose the path of faith, and through faith I came home.” Wonderful way to end this powerful essay, so full of truth, insight, and substance. Genesis 12:3
Yes, Agam is such an inspiration, as is the courage of all the hostages. But Agam and her family in particular, in the reverence they've shown for Jewish traditions, have inspired me to sign up to read Torah at my shul after not having read in over a year.
Completely and compellingly on target. Always. We look to you to be the voice of our emotions, our rage, our perseverance, our hope. As always, challenging those around us who are witnessing this and their silence. Reminding us that we must always remember who was with us, and reject who was silent. Thank you Eve.
Eve, as usual, your article is me speechless with horror. I do thank you for providing us a view that no one else can see, and each time I get another one of your articles kind of information I send it off to someone who needs the truth. Most frequently they are, my fellow Jews. But sometimes they are just people who do not have access to this information. Thank you again for keeping us informed. And God bless you. God bless Israel.
Impossible for most of us to comprehend the savagery demonstrated and celebrated. I wondered if Arbel knew she was walking to freedom or if she thought she was heading to an execution. So frightening and so evil. Will it ever end?
As a realist, unfortunately I must say it will never end. By now, we should know that it has to be built into our human DNA. As Jews, we must never give up. Thank you Eve for never giving up!
These Gazans are fucking savages. They have been allowed, even bolstered by the world, to celebrate their depravity for so long that it has become the norm. Also, let's just accept that to wipe out Hamas, you would have to kill every fighting-aged male in Gaza; they are one and the same. And if the world isn't listening to the Jewish people, I say fuck them. The Jewish people do have allies, powerful allies that matter; they don't need the mealy-mouthed Hamas supporting lefties of the world; let them rot.
Those Gazans are lucky I am not in Netanyahu's shoes. I would turn Gaza into the world's biggest parking lot. I would give the Gazans two weeks to vacate, or they would be removed by force and shipped to Palestine (Jorden). The IDF would deal with any who resisted.
People will say that it is barbaric or too harsh. What is inhumane and harsh to me is that so many countries in the world will not let the Israelis win against their enemies, and I do mean win, squash them, crush them completely. They would instead limit Israel's success in war just to have their enemies rebuild and attack them over and over and over...that is barbaric.
The ancient people (Rome, Greece, etc.) knew that to stop the ongoing bloodshed, attacks and continued fighting from a serious ideological enemy, you had to kill them, not negotiate with them, not arrest them, not take them as hostages, kill them. When the Romans crushed Carthage, they did it completely, and the Carthaginians never recovered. The Romans even sowed salt into the earth so they wouldn't return. When the Romans ventured too far north into the Teutoburg Forest, the Germanic tribes aligned and killed them by the thousands. The defeat was so bad that the Romans never again ventured that far north.
When Germany did not surrender in WW2, the Allies crushed the Germans so completely that the country was reduced to rubble, and the war was over. When Japan did not surrender, the allies (mostly the US) had to do so much damage and death that the country was forced to surrender, and it ended the war. Victory must be absolute, and the bad guys (Hamas et al.) must know they have been defeated. Since the modern founding of Israel in 1948, the Arabs who continually attack Israel have not been wholly defeated, and they know the world won't allow it, so they do it over and over; why wouldn't they?
I look forward to a day when Israel is allowed to crush their enemies completely. If that means wiping out every man, woman and child in Gaza, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, etc, then so be it. This madness will only end when the cost of attacking Israel and her allies is so great that it is not in the best interests of Israel's enemies to attack her any longer. Then there will be peace.
Every day I face this struggle: scream into the void, stare into the face of implacable hatred? Or tend to my wounds and shut my eyes. The right answer seems to depend on the day.

All of it
That is spot on.
Thank you, Eve. Thank you for keeping the focus exactly where it needs to be. We will not forget the continued atrocities.
Wonderful article Eve! I cried watching the footage, it was nothing short of barbaric! Xx
Me too xx

I mean, given that many released prisoners were actual unrepentant murderers, shouldn’t the Red Cross workers have been grateful they were handcuffed?
