Full answer: Read the article.
Over 34 years, I've authored 11 books. Every one of them has been talked about on CBC, CTV, Star.
This one, nada. Not a word. The title may tell you why. (It's still a bestseller, though.)
YOU ARE DEFENDING THE EXECUTIONERS
You scream genocide. You scream baby killer. You share the images and the hashtags and you feel like the good guys.
But stop for one second and look at what stands behind the words, because you clearly have no idea. You are defending the executioners.
You are defending Hamas. You are defending Islamic Jihad, a movement in Gaza that fires rockets at Israeli towns and hunts down civilians and soldiers, and that the U.S., the EU and the UK have branded for what it is: terror.
You are defending Hezbollah in Lebanon, which sends rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel. Three terror movements. One goal. To wipe out the Jewish state and everyone who resembles us.
That is whose errands you run, every single time you cast Israel as the villain.
Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Israelis live in many ways like we do in the West, with the same freedoms, the same right to simply exist. And any human being with their wits about them protects the like-minded. Not terror.
It is not complicated. It is so simple a child could grasp it, and yet over half the West has chosen to shut its eyes.
Because this is not about a religion. It is about an ideology. Islamism, political Islam, is at war with everything we have built. Freedom. Democracy. A womanโs right to rule her own life, and a gay personโs right to exist without fear. It wants to halt progress and choke the free human being, and it does so with the name of God in its mouth.
WAKE UP. While you sleep, your country is turning into something else.
For far too long the majority stayed silent. Because the aggressive โpro Palestineโ movement in the West, Islamists and the far left hand in hand, has been so full of hate and so loud that ordinary people kept their mouths shut rather than be hung out and shouted down.
And we know exactly how that works. It is not the minority that sets the agenda. It is the ones who shout loudest and threaten hardest. That is how the lie and the brainwashing were allowed to spread, unchallenged, year after year.
And it does not stop at the streets and the social media feeds. Even many of our own European countries have chosen a side. They pump millions in โaidโ to Palestinian authorities and organisations, money that anyone with an average IQ knows full well does not end up where it is promised to.
The EU is by far the single largest donor in the entire world. On top of that, one country after another hands over its own billions: Germany, Sweden, Norway, Spain, France, Belgium, Ireland, and yes, Denmark ect. has been in on it too.
Governments that sympathise with and feed the very system the Islamists thrive in, while it wages war on a democracy and a people just like us. Think about it. These are the kind of people we allow to run our countries. I simply cannot comprehend it.
WE - THE PEOPLE - have ALLOWED it. We allowed Islamists and โour ownโ to run propaganda for Hamas and Hezbollah right in the middle of OUR freedom-loving countries.
We stood by in silence as Jew-hatred grew large again, as Jews in OUR streets no longer dare wear a Star of David, no longer feel safe in the country they were born in.
Read that again.
YOU AND I HAVE ALLOWED IT. Not โthe systemโ. Not โthe othersโ. Us. Because we failed to create the counter-pressure it would have taken. Because we feared the noise. Because it was easier to scroll on and pretend not to see.
It is OVER now!
And you need to understand one thing, right down to the bone: this is not just about Israel and Jews.
It is about us. About whether the free West rises or hands over its own ground without a fight. Israel is the front line. They stand there holding the line for the very values you and I take for granted every morning. If they fall, we are next.
Because the hatred that begins with the Jews has never once in history stopped with the Jews. We know this. We have simply chosen to forget it.
We stay silent no longer!!โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ชฝ
NEVER AGAINโฆONLY LASTED 80 YEARS
Dear Danes (and every other European whose ancestors resisted when it counted)
Our grandparents and their parents fought against the slaughter of the Jews and against Nazism. The Danes did something extraordinary, and most Jews remember it to this day.
The government refused throughout the occupation to introduce any legislation against the Jews.
The rescue of around 7,200 Jews was carried out by ordinary society. Fishermen, priests, doctors, neighbours, and a police force that largely refused to cooperate. Read that again. THE PEOPLE ROSE!
Around 470 were caught and sent to Theresienstadt, and Danish authorities kept pressing for them. Almost all of them survived. There is next to nothing like it.
Had I lived back then, I would have been part of that movement. I would have put my own life on the line without blinking to fight the evil that was happening.
After the war and the massacre, we said never again.
That sentence lasted 80 years.
Your news tells you nothing about it. The politicians in the EU tell you nothing about it.
So let me be your messenger.
Jews have always been persecuted. Also after the Second World War. By the same conspiracies that killed 6 million. By evil itself.
After October 7, where Hamas murdered, raped and tortured more than 1,200 Israelis, including 378 at a music festival, Jew hatred intensified across the West.
Think about that. An Islamist terror movement carries out a massacre inside a democratic state because they hate Jews. Because their own texts say Jews are to be wiped out.
It set off a chain reaction in the West, where Islamists sit safely while they use our streets to scream death over an entire people and an entire country.
And it does not stop there. Ethnic Westerners, born into freedom and into the very history where their own forefathers fought that same evil, are now taking the Islamistsโ side and walking beside them.
People who are supposed to be our own are now calling for the murder of an entire population. And for the destruction of the one country in the Middle East that flourishes, where Jews, Christians, Muslims and others live side by side with the vote and with rights.
Meanwhile innocent Jews are beaten down in Europe. Killed. Threatened. They have armed guards outside their synagogues, because the old conspiracies have been brought back to life. By people with a view of humanity that we ourselves let into our freedom loving world over decades.
And let me say it plainly. I mean it completely seriously when I say there is something fundamentally wrong with a person who hates Jews in 2026. That is not an opinion. It is a defect.
And nobody points at the elephant in the room. Why?
Because if the politicians did, and started clearing up and clearing out, remigration, they would also have to admit they were wrong. That their romantic idea of the multicultural society walking hand in hand with our values and our Christian foundation was a lie.
Anyone with two pieces to rub together knows that wherever Islam has taken hold, it has never, and I mean NEVER, in 1400 years been able or willing to coexist with the Western world and our values.
They would rather protect their egos than face the reality they created together with the people who voted for them.
Imagine that. People, the EU, closing their eyes to their own populations while everything sharpens around us, because they will not lose face.
It borders on psychopathic traits, to think that much of yourself instead of saving your own civilisation.
But everyone has a conscience when the day is done. And a day is coming, soon, when even these people will have to look themselves in the eye and admit the decline they led their own people into. They have had millions of witnesses along the way. Witnesses who do not forget. Who never forget.

Iโm excited to share that in a week, on July 27, my short book Hamas and Its Two Million Hostages will be published in paperback and as an eBook. It traces Hamasโs rise in Gaza; its motivations, the ideology that shaped its rule, and the road to October 7; interwoven with my own experience growing up under its ascent. I reflect on key elements of Gazaโs recent history and Hamasโs assault on the Palestinian national project. While not a full memoir or exhaustive history, the book offers a clear, accessible overview for readers often misled about Gaza and the Islamist movement that dominates it.
The bookโs argument is direct: Hamas has inflicted catastrophic harm on Palestinians, turning Gazans into hostages of a violent, rigid movement whose decisions led to the Stripโs devastation, all while accounting for Israeli policy choices that helped entrench Hamas and made dislodging it difficult. This short book is my case against the terror organization and against those who cast it as legitimate โresistance.โ It is a call to promote Palestinian agency, accountability, and responsibility, even within the profound imbalance of power dynamics with Israel. Palestinians urgently need honest assessment and selfโreflection from a genuinely proโPalestine perspective to learn from past mistakes and chart a different path toward safety, prosperity, freedom, and wellโbeing.
You can preโorder the paperback or eBook at the link, or use the ISBN (9781760646158) to order through Amazon: https://t.co/QnFlYuW6hN
OPEN YOUR MOUTH. NOW!
I want to say something that more and more people are thinking, but too few are saying out loud.
The leftists who have fallen into a deep conspiracy hole and turned the Jews into the worldโs evilโฆ they are not the majority in the West.
Not even together with the islamists.
But it is not the majority that sets the agenda. It is the most aggressive. The ones the media carries forward.
And then there is polite society. The ones who see exactly what is going on, who talk about it around the dinner table, but never in public.
Their silence is not neutral. It gives the most aggressive even more room.
This is not something I say. It is documented reality.
Antisemitic incidents have exploded across the West since October 7, 2023. In France, they nearly doubled in a year. In Germany, they rose by 80 percent.
Christians are the most persecuted people in the world - 388 million live under severe persecution. A record. Again.
Meanwhile, churches across Europe are burned and vandalized, while islam keeps gaining ground in our systems and our parliaments.
That is not an opinion. That is mathematics.
History has shown us what happens when the majority stays silent while an aggressive minority shouts.
Back then, it was not the executioners who were the majority. It was the bystanders.
And remember, they can cancel one voice. They cannot cancel a majority.
In the end, it is always the voice of the people that sets the direction.
Create the necessary counter-pressure. It will matter. It will go down in history. And you will be able to look yourself in the eye when you take your last breath - knowing you spoke when it counted.
Because your innermost voice - the one you also know as your conscience - already knows what is true.
Listen.
Open your mouth. Now.
