Love you Eve. I’m at the point now where I really don’t even like my own daughter. I love her, but I don’t like her. The brainwashing on her started early because I found out that her father was an antisemite. However, my daughter is extremely bright, and even after indoctrination at the University Of Michigan, she should’ve been able to figure some of this stuff out. She’s about one step away from being a real Nazi, the kind that were in Germany, and who were indoctrinated in kinder camps to turn in their parents if they disagreed with the Nazi party. My family is Catholic with some Jewish roots. I’ll never forget the day my dad kicked his friends out of the house because the German wife was extolling the virtues of Hitler. He was a WWII Veteran. I will never be on the side of these fascists who call everyone else a Nazi. DARVO indeed. Those of you who pray, please pray for my daughter. The pain is excruciating.

Your voice has been one of the very few that has been consistently been cutting through the BS that the jihad supporters, the gaslighters, and the DARVO crowd are spewing. That’s why I started following you and became a paid subscriber. Please, I hope you keep on doing you.

I’m here because I believe in you Eve, and I believe in your message. And I will be with you and your message forever.

I hate to correct you… but Jews have been threatened for millennia! Israel has been under attack since its inception after WWII. October 7 was the most heinous attack since the Holocaust!

I have watched with horror as the radical left, especially in our “elite” universities, have, somehow, managed to become anti-Zionist AND antisemitism is allowed, even encouraged! Admission of Jewish students to the Uni’s, despite stellar qualifications, are denied outright!

My most current vent of my spleen is reserved for Mamdani! It was inconceivable (and I do know what that word means) that the Mayor of our largest city could be so absolutely, unfiltered antisemetic! Now threatening the head of the State of Israel with arrest! WTF?!? I would happily attend Mamdani’s funeral memorial service!

Jews have been threatened with extinction ever since the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 CE. With a few short examples, Jews have been treated like second class citizens at best and violently attacked at worst since then. The Spanish Inquisition, Russian Pogroms, The Holocaust, October 7th . . . and yet we continue to exist much to the dismay of the Mamdani's of the world. And it's voices like Eve's through 5,000 years is one of the reasons we are still here.

"Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by the Lord, the shield that protects you…" He crouched down, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you."

G-d bless you, Eve.

Tell me of a 'genocide' where the population actually INCREASES. Those numbers are from the UN, yet they are one of the loudest opponents of Israel. One of the loudest criers of 'genocide'.

Anyone with ANY knowledge of history, knows that the self defense Israel employs in not genocide.

Israel and the Jewish people are the Apple of God's Eye. We would do best to remember that, but unfortunately, we are living in such a godless society.

In the words of Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936)

If——

If you can keep your head when all about you

   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

   But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

   Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

   And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

   If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

   And treat those two impostors just the same;

*****If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, ******

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

   And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

   And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

   To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

   Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

   Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

   If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—

   Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Love Kipling!

Even though he is persona non grata in some corners because he was white... male... British (read colonialist)... privileged...

Blah blah blah

His short story "The Black Sheep" is absolutely heart breaking and haunts me all these decades later...

I often refute the “genocide” in Gaza on various substacks (if the subject comes up), using simple math. It generally comes out to 3.5% of the population that have been killed during this war. No one ever wants to hear it, or even think about it.

I wonder whether any of the people who have written you off will take you up on this. Regardless, you did good to put it out there.

We will never be broken. This song is for you Eve...."I chase the devil" Max Romeo/Lee Scratch Perry and the Upsetters (1976). I had the pleasure of meeting LSP once, an incredibly talented person in so many ways. In conversation he told me 'the Jews will be here for ever'......like you, a true 'lion from Zion'

Eve Barlow's avatar

I loved Lee Scratch Perry. I actually listened to that song the other day.

You are my rock. And it makes perfect sense that being so many people's rock, you also need a rock of your own. Keep fighting, we are with you.

In the category of “potential hope”: I am a psychotherapist and I signed up for a 10 week intensive training recently. When the itinerary was presented, the keynote speakers were announced—Bessel Van der Kolk, and Gabor Maté—and additionally, sessions were on 10 consecutive Shabbats. I wrote to the organizer/leader, letting her know that I would not be attending, by her and her team’s design, and asked for a dialogue. She agreed—and we begin August 3rd.

I realize this could end in greater frustration, but the risk is what we do, yes?

I HAVE NOTHING BUT ETERNAL GRATITUDE FOR YOU

Yes it is time to put the hammer down. I couldn’t agree more.

Eve you are incredible…you speak the truth and defend Israel like crazy. You speak against their enemies and those leftists that have swallowed and now believe the BS. I am a child of Holocaust survivors and I’m scared as “F”! How did this insanity and antisemitism happen again (ok it never went away)?? Blatant and evil brainwashing in our universities and in politics…

Please don’t stop speaking your truth which is the truth!! Thank you
