I sat down and took the time to listen to Vice President JD Vance’s press conference about her discussion with the Prime Minister of Israel I’ll be frank as a Jew and Democrat: I am not happy with it at all. “I discussed w/ the PM my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza. Including the death of far too many innocent civilians. And my serious concern about the dire humanitarian crises there with over 2 million facing high levels of food insecurity and over 500k people facing acute food scarcity. My response to that: Israel has a lower civilian to enemy combatant casualty rate than any other military in history. That’s hardly far too many civilians. It also ignores the fact that Hamas has intentionally embedded itself into the urban environment at all levels including 500 mi of tunnels. Short of full capitulation and giving a terror group everything it wants, I’d like to know what the VP would have done differently in this situation. The food insecurity she refers to is because of Hamas stealing the food, not because Israel is preventing it from going in. I’d think she’d be aware of that at this point. She goes on: “What happened in Gaza over the past 9 months is devastating. The images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety for the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time - we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies - we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and I will not be silent.” These poor Gazans kidnapped Israelis and sold them to Hamas. She ignores the fact that it’s because of Hamas firing from humanitarian safe zones and corridors that Israel had previously cleared that Gazans have flee over and over again. She infers that this is somehow Israel’s fault. It’s not. I wish she would have taken as much time to talk about the suffering of Israelis who were burned alive, decapitated, raped (women and men), bodies mutilated, tortured in captivity, 70k of which haven’t been in their homes for 9 months. Neither did she speak of the Israelis whose lives have been financially destroyed by the war started by Hamas. I see no understanding of the manner in which Hamas is using a strategy of human shields and maximizing civilian casualties. She also ignores the fact that Israel has not been in Gaza for over 17 years. They could’ve made it to Singapore of the Middle East. Instead, it became 500 miles of underground shelters for terror leadership (not civilians) and torture chambers for hostages. I literally felt zero compassion in her tone or her manner or her words for the Israeli people, the majority of which currently and for the foreseeable future, REJECT THE IDEA OF A 2SS. The right has embraced an authoritarian figure and the left is becoming more and more hostile daily to Jews and the world’s only Jewish state, while it’s under existential threat. No leader (Republican or Democrat) will force me or my nation to acquiesce to a request, and dare I say reward terrorism, for statehood until de-radicalization and de-militarization occurs. Nor will we acquiesce to a splitting of our capital city, Jerusalem.

The images may upset some people. But it needs to be said and seen. What’s happening to Jews since Oct 7, across campuses, cities, parliaments, is not new. We’ve seen this before. If you’re Jewish, your body already remembers. It’s in your bones. Your blood. Your lineage. 🧵
