One of the smartest observations in @AndrewPessin's essay is how Jews and Zionists have spent decades defending themselves against an endless stream of ridiculous accusations while rarely pushing back on the ideology producing them.

With @InstituteCSA that changes. It's time to invert the lens and put antizionism itself under scrutiny. Have a read and give them a follow.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

This clan in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya area is parading its weapons through the streets, using children and teenagers to broadcast “who is boss.” Their behavior is not separate from Hamas’s ecosystem of coercion; it reinforces the same culture of thuggery, violence, and lawlessness in which Hamas thrives, and the armed‑resistance mythology is sustained. These weapons are not aimed at Israel, nor are they intended to challenge Hamas. In fact, some clan members can be heard boasting that they are ready to confront an anti‑Hamas militia in the north.

More dangerously, this arsenal exists to intimidate the local population, undermine any future authority’s monopoly on force, and perpetuate a culture that glorifies violence and produces criminals who can easily drift into terrorism. Gaza has seen this pattern repeatedly: petty criminals “redeem” themselves by joining armed groups and rebranding their violence as “resistance.”

Disarmament must therefore begin with these clans and their stockpiles. Hamas itself routinely cites clan munitions as a reason it refuses to disarm, claiming it cannot give up its weapons while these groups keep theirs, a dynamic that guarantees future chaos and revenge cycles.

Gaza cannot rebuild or move forward while scenes like this remain normalized. They must be removed from public life and from the societal imagination if Gaza is ever to have a stable, lawful, and hopeful future.

This.

[Andrew Pessin @AndrewPessin]

"A civilization stands on three pillars: the belief that there exists a truth accessible to reason, the belief that there exists a good distinct from evil, the belief that there exists a heritage to be transmitted. French Theory set out to dynamite all three... An entire generation learned to deconstruct and never learned to build. An entire generation knows how to suspect and no longer knows how to admire. An entire generation sees power everywhere and beauty nowhere."

This is precisely why postmodernism and all its descendants (CRT, wokeness, progressivism) hate Israel and the Jews, because they directly refute the whole edifice. They seek to destroy because the Jews, both within and without Israel, seek to build, and believe in truth, the distinction of good and evil, and that there is a heritage worthy of transmission .....

It's also why those who think the West has produced something of value -- and is not merely the evil caricature those parties make it out to be -- need to get off their asses and join the actual resistance -- the resistance to that destructive program.

At the current moment, that should start by defending the Jews and Israel.
