Countries have military forces but Hamas is a military force that has a country. By literally forcing Israel to go in on the ground, we have seen what every dollar to Gaza bought. A complete infiltration of civil society with a terror structure. Every one of the 35 hospitals with Hamas weapons and tunnels and launching pads. Ever wonder why with so many hospitals Tony had to seek medical care in Israel? Because they kept weapons in their incubators. Their MRI machines. I could go on about the schools. What we suspected we know. Infrastructure not to improve lives. The west cries so much for Gaza it’s a bad joke. Hamas doesn’t care. It only cares about its own power and killing Israelis and Jews.

I really should revise. A terrorist military force.

I f$&&ing believe it. In the Holocaust my family was gas, burned, hunted and shot. They had to run through and hide in the woods. They were massacred in their homes. We said Never Again. My grandmother was a speaker to thousands of student. She bared her soul and relived painful memories. Was it worth it? I always thought it was. We as a society failed these survivors. We can’t let Hamas win and do what they aim to do which is eliminate the Jewish race. We cannot stop.

Thank you for going home to bear witness. Thank you for reminding folks that we can’t look away. Hamas is a killing machine funded in part by “social justice warriors” or what I call “insta-experts” believing blindly that they are doing the “right” thing. Except the right thing isn’t to turn a blind eye to Jews (like the world did in WWII until they (the US) thought it would benefit them); it’s always been to be the “bad “ Jew and speak up, to be the courageous ally and speak up, to be the one standing alone knowing the truth instead of standing amidst the phonies praying on peoples pain. I stand with you, sister. Am Yisrael Chai.

Thank you for bearing witness and sharing. We went to Israel to volunteer at the beginning of November because we couldn’t sit home glued to the news and social media any longer. We will be heading back in March to volunteer again. Your work, your words, are so important Eve. Never stop. Am Yisrael Chai.

Hi Eve, been following you for a long time and I support all the great work that you do. So glad to see that you are doing well and in Eretz Yisrael. I am a big music fan and remember reading you in Pitchfork amongst other publications. Keep fighting the good fight.

The world never seems to tire of killing Jews. But it tires of being told about it. Spare nothing; speak everything. The souls of those who perished this time, last time, demand it. The world won't thank you for it, but we will. And we will share your story.

Boker Tov Eve,

Thank you for going to Israel and bearing witness to the horrific brutalities committed against out people. May their memory be blessing and may their blood be avenged.

It’s been clear for a long time but since 7/10 that the suffering of Jews doesn’t matter. I’d like to say I am shocked but I am. As someone who has been monitoring Antisemitism and Terrorism since the 90s, I am not surprised nor shocked. I wish I were.

I am proud Zionist Jew and my enemies can go to hell. Their hate only makes me strong and proud to be a Jew.

Look forward to reading more of your work.

Keep up the great work and G-d Bless. Am Yisrael Chai🐺💪🇮🇱

Thank you for having the courage to bear witness to this evil. Hamas must be destroyed…that is the only choice. Gaza’s right to humanitarian aid died when Gazans gave an escaped hostage back to Hamas. Just like the citizens of Germany in WWII, all of Gaza is now complicit…especially those advocating for Hamas and their ilk from the safety of the US. How can the UN be so full of traitors to basic humanity? The UN paid for these weapons and thus for these murders.

Eve, thank you for writing this. It’s hard to read, especially as nobody in my community seems to have any sympathy for Israel. I feel as if I’m in a bubble alone feeling devastated for my friends in our Calderwood family. Here it’s all about the Palestinians - one of my best friends used to be married to a Palestinian from E Jerusalem and oddly we both understand how the other feels. But everyone else can’t see what I see. I know you suffer so much abuse, and I’m ashamed of my community for contributing to it, albeit with the most sincere of reasons.

I feel the same way. I live in a scary neighborhood filled with antisemitism and I’m scared. But Eve gives me the courage to write anyway !!! We will be each others community. All of us here. Ten thousand subscribers!!!! We have each other and we will never back down!!!!

Hope you do some reports with some IDF. If it werent for the IDF the whole country would be a mass graveyard. Progressives love dead Jews but the Jews dont.

Eve, just watched your first report from Israel!

So moving and honest!

Your achievements, so far, are amazing! Hopefully the right people are paying attention!

Please look after yourself. 😘😘😘

I am not on X/Twitter; I'm of course more than aware of it, but I don't know how it works in practice. Can you lock down your posts so you are not subject to antisemitic and other abuse from these vile trolls? I find it unacceptable and inexcusable that you or anyone else has to deal with that. Blacklisted is indispensable, by the way, and I thank you for what you're doing, in the midst of this hell we are going through.

My sister is in Israel now as well, and she too visited Kibbutz Be'eri. (I think maybe a day before you Eve). Her pictures and videos are haunting. She is very sensitive and was afraid to go on March of the Living as a teen because she thought seeing the camps would be too hard. I feel like seeing the Kibbutz today may be even worse. I can just picture the smells you describe. I am not sure I could do it (and I have visited death camps.) I commend Eve, my sister and everyone else who has chosen to bear witness. May Hashem protect you and give you strength.
