Strategic blindness has shaped every modern conflict — including how the world sees Israel, terrorism, and the politics of “Palestinian” identity.

My book, Failure to Adapt, unpacks why.

@adam_louis52328 @AishJewish The article is excellent. Thank you for what you do. I do something similar, but mostly in the shadows. I never fell for Leftism, as I watched their Jew-hatred and antizionism in academia on display, before and after 9/11/01. https://t.co/23TgJR4dsp

@IsraelIDFend I’m a soldier; a Jewish American one. Send me in. I fight.

@IDFsoldiergirl Sucks to be them. Play dangerous games, win lethal prizes. No sympathy.

@Vlamss The ones who attacked on October 7 were the "innocent" children from a few years prior. This goes back so many generations that it's difficult to append the term "innocent" to either kids or the elderly. Generational Jew-hatred is their culture.

@Pro__Trading You’re completely correct and this has been going on for decades.

[David Firester, Ph.D. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @davidfirester]

No matter what is said by any American, Israel must finish the job; likely all alone (as has usually been the case). As an American Zionist Jew (three positive words), I fully support Israel’s right to defend itself, take preemptive actions where necessary, and pursue their enemies while they’re in retreat.

A boy returned from jogging and found all this family murdered.

It's not horror movie plot. It happened to Ariel Zohar (12). His sister Keshet (20) and Tchelet (18) and his parents were slaughtered by "Palestinian" monsters that invaded their home.

They call it "resistance".

@AmIsraelChai30 I’m still hoping that this is the actual plan: massive ruse, feint an exit, pull the rug out from Iran’s “leadership,” declare the deception was part of the plan, & build on the peace that follows.

@LizaRosen0000 Rubio 2028!

@VividProwess I’m trying to hold onto the notion that this is a big ruse and he will capitalize on the deception it generates. If I’m wrong, and I might be, then it seems he has been turned against his own previously held moral sentiments.

[David Firester, Ph.D. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @davidfirester]

@VividProwess Shalom.

@RonyYedidia @MATCShefayim @Israel @MASHAVisrael I'd like to be able to help the third wave travel to Israel from Somaliland. Feel free to reach out and I will coordinate.

@ISGAP What would be most interesting is that which is not viewable on the surface with respect to Section 117 of the HEA (1965): https://t.co/s8jsf1ptA7

@hrumpole @MorEdge_Insight Absolutely correct. Hamas and PIJ are only the organized elements of Gazan society. Not a single Gazan helped a single hostage (even with the prospect of $$$ for their help). Many of them partook in atrocities. IMHO, it’s not flattened enough.
