Some things are driving me crazy. I’ll share them with you in no particular order while we await the New Hampshire primary results. Why shouldn’t you lose some sleep, too? 

When Ron DeSantis entered the presidential race, Trump denounced him as disloyal. After all, he endorsed him for Governor, so he owes him loyalty forever. Tim Scott, whom Nikki Haley appointed to a vacant senate post, supported him over Haley and declared that he thought it was terrific. Trump’s allegiance only travels in one direction to him. Who has Trump been loyal to? What an example for our children.

How many times do you see the fearful term genocide used in articles about Israeli operations in Gaza? It’s on signs of the pro-Palestinian marchers. Progressives around the world use the term to attack Israel to justify their anti-Semitism. 

Long associated with the holocaust, the murder of six million Jews, this horror-engendering term is now widely used against Jews. Employing this term to describe the situation Palestinians find themselves in is wrong. 

The BBC defines Genocide this way, “Genocide is understood by most to be the gravest crime against humanity. It is defined as a mass extermination of a particular group of people – exemplified by the efforts of the Nazis to eradicate the Jewish population in the 1940s.”

 Since 1948, the Jewish-Arab conflict has had many ramifications, but the Palestinian Genocide isn’t one of them. Since that time, the number of Palestinians has multiplied over eight times. The 1.67 million in 1948 expanded to approximately 12 million today. The one thing you can’t say is the Jews are exterminating the Palestinian people.
