Terrible Things, A Few Facts, and Another Terrible Time to be a Jew

Published on by dgkaye

I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to have to write about it, but the world around me is spiraling, especially in my city, and country. Hamas has used their psychological warfare perfectly and has sent the world into a simmering pot of anti-semitism. Right, anti-semitism is nothing new, only Hamas unscrewed the lid off the jar of lies and the world ate it up. I write because I WILL NOT BE SILENT.

From the Universities here and there – and everywhere to Jewish establishments being blocked from business, to police having to guard Jews so they can go to synagogue to pray, and so children can continue to go to school, to the warnings to Jews FROM ISRAEL to Jews ‘across the planet’ to refrain from wearing Jewish symbolism. That’s our freedom!

When Hamas attacked Israel, the world became divided between Jews and Palestinians. You can cut the hatred with a knife it’s so omni-present. When people are uneducated, or don’t bother to learn about what is going on, they choose sides. This war began with the heinous hatred Hamas has for the Jews. Period. Their mission is to wipe out Israel. There is no peace agreement. They aren’t fighting for land or even a two-State country, they are fighting to rid the world of Jews. The Palestinians just happen to be their hostages since 2006 in Gaza. They don’t care about human life – Jewish or otherwise, and use their own as human shields. What people don’t get about this war is it’s not about territory, but democracy. If Hamas and their buddies, Hezbolah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and the whatevers in Syria, under the rule of Iran, can take out Israel, they will no longer have to worry about the West. The tiny spec of a country amidst a vast land of Arab countries has fought for their survival since the beginning of time. Gratefully, the US stands with Israel, and that’s the only thing scaring the Arab world. Sadly, because of Gaza gaslighting the Israelis in this war as part of their lying psychological warfare of spreading propaganda, and sorrowful lack of media showing ‘the odd’ snapshot of what’s going on in Israel, the world has been swayed by lies and social media to fan flames, and suddenly it became Jews against Arabs around the world?

The Palestinians are egged on by their Arab bretheren – I might add, the Arab bretheren anywhere aren’t offering them to come to their countries, but they egg on the Palestinians globally with their hate messages, and who are now having wild protests all over the world with their drummed in hatred. I know the US is trying hard to stomp it out before it becomes a national forest fire. But here in Canada, it feels like every man for himself. People need to learn the difference between Palestinians and Hamas – the terrorist group who holds Gaza Palestinians hostage daily since 2006. There is also the West Bank where Palestinians live, only they have different rights because they’re led by Palestinian Authority who, believe it or not, works with Israeli forces. They are not led by Hamas and happen to live amicably with Israeli Jews. Please learn who the terrorists are.

This war has been the focus of biased media with cameras on Gaza, and the forgotten issue about who started the war, slaughtered over 1400 Jews at a dance concert, in their homes, in their beds. Babies, elderly, children, men, women, and the disabled, stolen or slaughtered in their homes one early Saturday morning on a holiday weekend. Heads severed, babies and others burned alive tied together. Pregnant women had their stomachs sliced open and stabbed, both mother and baby. One baby was put in an oven. Others who ran to their bomb shelters had their houses burned down with them in them. All of the aforementioned, I saw with my eyes as my stomach wretched from both IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) and Hamas videos released. I’ve seen it in various global newspapers, videos, and various world news channels. None of these shown on Canadian airwaves since it happened SO LONG AGO, and the focus is now on Palestine and their terrorist leaders. I will also give a thank you shoutout to Rogers TV and communications for giving us the live Israel channel i24, free in our channel lineup so we can hear and see the truths with our own eyes and ears.

The world has almost forgotten about the Israeli massacre of October 7th and turned their focus to divide and hate. There is bloodshed on both sides, yet the context of this war has been so misconstrued. This is a war between terrorism and democracy, but the world turned it into the Jews against Palestinians, when in fact it’s about rooting out Hamas terrorism. But the damage is done.

Here in Canada, our government is busy allowing Palestinians to have frequent protests, chanting in English ‘free Palestine’, then chanting in Arabic,’death to the Jews’ as though nobody will get it except them. I appreciate the many who translate these videos for Canadians to see what’s going on. Sadly, the Prime Minister or Canadian media hasn’t caught on.

Here is a video of the now typical day in my city since October 7th. The video was taken by journalist Igal Hecht:

Meanwhile the world has drank Hamas’ Koolaid when they started their psychological warfare by announcing that Israel took down their hospital, when in fact it was they who did it because they have no value for human life and use their citizens as human shields. But, the genie was out of the bottle, as the old cliche goes and the world went with it. Tag you’re it, the Jews are back to being ‘the chosen ones’. The terrorists start the rumors and the world plays broken telephone with it.

Hamas is the new hierarchy in the terrorist world. They’re worse than Isis. You remember them, the ones that used to love to chop off heads on video? Did you know in 1936 there were 16.6 million Jews, and now there are 16.1 left in the world. Jews are a mere dot in the world and Israel has fought to exist for thousands of years.

x

Look at a map of the middle east and notice the tiny dot of might, surrounded by scary Arab countries, of which one never knows when they may feel like attacking. – Israel would not deny or confirm when that hospital was hit until evidence was viewed, and unlike Hamas who announced it was Israel within minutes after the hit (to initiate their propaganda, sound familiar?), the missile was the doing of Hamas – for whatever reasons, a bad shot, or intentional. So the world stuck with it. President Biden confirmed it to the world, and so did all the sane leaders of the western world, oh, except Canada’s PM, he couldn’t make up his mind who to believe, Biden had long announced the findings. A week later JT announced Canada agrees, it was Hamas. Oh, gee thanks. In the meanwhile, Jews around the world are frightened, and let me tell you, a lot of what’s going on smells a lot like 1939 to me.

Thank you to Barnez Jumah who explained this post he shared: History 101 – The Beginning:

“The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BC. Here’s the timeline, in case you didn’t realize that it is their homeland, as designated by Lord Jesus Christ.

1900 BC: Abraham chosen by God as the Father of the Jewish Nation.

1900 BC: Isaac, Abraham’s son, rules over Israel.

1850 BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.

1400 BC: Moses leads the people out of Egypt and back to Israel.

1010 BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.

970 BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem

930 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.

800s BC: The rise of the prophets, God’s messengers.

722 BC: Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians.

605 BC: Kingdom Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.

586 BC: Solomon’s Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.

539 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.

538 BC: The Jews return to Israel from exile.

520 BC: The Temple is rebuilt.

450 BC: Reforms made by Ezra and Nehemiah.

433 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.

432 BC: The last group of Jews return from exile.

333 BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian empire.

323 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empire take over Israel.

167 BC: Hasmonean’s recapture Israel, and the Jews are ruled independently.

70 BC: Romans conquer Israel.

20 BC: King Herod builds the “second” temple

6 BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem

70 AD: Romans destroy the temple

After that, the people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn’t live in the land. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now.”

I’m just going to say it. I’m so sick of the growing antisemitism, that really isn’t growing, just people’s ugliness is being revealed.Toronto is appalling! Our PM was the last person on the planet to say that HamASS shot their own hospital. He says nothing to make anyone feel better or to even attempt to bridge the hatred, and is more concerned with Palestine, than the Jews in Canada, who are too staying quiet because of all the NON CONDEMNED HATRED going on in my city.

Gaza protests banging down MP doors to demand a ceasefire by the : “Apartheid and Genocide Israelies”, what the world has coined them. Canadian government allows the mass Palestinian protests daily, intimidating Jews, pulling ‘Kidnapped’ hostage posters off wherever they’ve been plastered. They chant ‘Free Palestine’ in English, then change to ‘Death to the Jews’ in Arabic.

Well here’s my piece, That’s not how politics work in a democratic country. You want to be wild animals, go back to where you came from and do that. Here, we’re entitled to freely protest, but not spew hate and death. It would be nice to see anyone with authority in this city stop feeling intimidated and enforce the law. AND FYI, Canada does not make decisions on what the hell the Iraeli army does. Neither does the world! Israel is not going to ceasefire and wait for the murderers to kill all of Israel, WHICH IS THEIR MISSION. So get over yourselves and your terrorist networks. And take your dirty anti-semitism with you!

I’m ashamed of Canada. Nothing from JT, but I appreciate the Israeli IDF keeping ALL Jews in the world informed, such as with this warning video asking that ALL JEWS please refrain from wearing religious objects.

Here’s a sweet little article from the Hamas Leader I came across in the National Post:

“When Hamas says it is a murderous, barbaric, evil cult that’s pathologically committed to murdering all Jews, at every opportunity, now and in the future, why do so many in the West refuse to believe it?

While many pro-Hamas supporters hail the glorious resistance, spokesmen for the terrorist organization openly stated that if given the chance, the slaughter of Oct. 7 will be repeated over and over again.

I’d like to share this important letter from Canada’s National Post:

Letters: ‘What’s happened to Canada’s “hate speech” laws?’

Living in ‘strange and hypocritical times’

“Re: As Israeli innocents are hunted and murdered, certain Canadian ‘progressives’ choose to celebrate — Terry Glavin, Oct. 8; and The Trudeau Liberals’ deafening silence in the face of Hamas horrors — Vivian Bercovici, Oct. 21“

Article content

“What strange and hypocritical times we live in when a teacher can be removed from his or her job and have his or her career ruined for addressing a student in their birth name instead of their new chosen name but we can have demonstrators in the streets supporting a vicious terrorist organization and calling for the death of Jews and Israel.

What have we become? Freedom of speech and assembly is one of our pillars but not when it supports or calls for violence against another ethnic group.

Where is our virtue-signalling federal government in all of this? England, France and Germany have all empowered their security services to look at who is participating in these tasteless demonstrations and if necessary deport them from their countries. . . you can read more in the link below.

In conclusion, I’d like to share this last article from the Canadian National Post, as people cry out, sign petitions and write to their MPs, to please step up to the podium and denounce hatred as they would surely do if they were Arabs, Blacks, Chinese being hated on, but sadly, THEY CANNOT, because they’re afraid they won’t be voted back in for sticking up for a minority – https://winnipegsun.com/news/national/why-wont-politicians-give-a-strong-response-on-anti-semitism/wcm/ecacc07a-5d5e-4751-b432-0aed1ee490e1?fbclid=IwAR35EhF7rRTsPuuDUXOH-3y7QO2XqPUemcSkg7Niis9Y9oMhNTq0fv7bGT8

This video was brought to my attention. It’s almost an hour long, but wow, it’s a clear breakdown on hate and the frightening consequences of propaganda: Douglas Murray is a British writer and political commentator. He is an associate editor of the Spectator and a columnist at the Telegraph and the New York Post among others. He is the author of many best-selling books including The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017), The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019), and The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason (2022).

  2. I stand with Israel, Debby. Your powerful post demonstrates to me the vicious agenda of the progressive liberals around the world. I saw a statistic that stated because of the population size, the number of Israeli men, women, and children killed on October 6th equated to 30,000 Americans. This kind of loss cannot be tolerated, and the full force of the Israeli military might must be used to eliminate the Hamas criminals. The support of America is something that appears to be in word only. I am embarrassed that our government tends to say a lot but do little at times. I am also very sad for those in your country who are so misguided as to the real enemy in this situation. Hamas is evil, and those Palestinians who live in the free world should thank their lucky stars they don’t live under the rule of those thugs. My prayers are with your people and you, Debby.

Here we have rights to protest just as in the US, but nobody policing what’s really happening, except the citizens of our streets on watch. They call them ‘free Palestinian protests’ when in fact the brainwashed are in full terrorist garb chanting death to Jews. And nobody stops them. 😦

  26. I have been shocked by all the antisemitic violence taking place around the world since the Israel government declared war on Hamas. It’s even happened here in Spain.
    Thank you for writing about this important issue.

  29. Thanks for speaking out Debby on this horrific brutalizing war. So barbaric and unfathomable. Hate is something so unfathomable and so atrocious. How can we be living this nightmare. I truly appreciate all of your videos and sound information. Hugs and love one light at a time to overcome this darkness. xo💕🙏🏼

  32. I’m not sure I can add anything else, other than to agree that Hamas has an unforgiving heart in their culture like you said early in your post. Jesus taught forgiveness. I think the Arab countries have a big enough toe-hold on the world. Keep strong my friend. My heart aches for the innocent victims.

  33. Thank you for sharing your heart and pain here, Debby. I am in a state of dismay, and I don’t understand why human beings are so determined to hate each other. It makes no sense to me at all, on any level. I’m praying for sanity, and that there are strong leaders who will step up with compassion and condemn indefensible attacks on the innocent. Thanks for speaking up and adding to my understanding. Hugs.

    1. Thank you for reading Diana. And thanks for letting me know this post helped to somewhat understand better what is going on. I know the US is fighting plenty of this antisemitism, among so many other fronts. God bless us all! ❤

      1. The complexity of what’s happening all around the world makes it hard to respond in a short comment, but the losses of innocent life and the needless hatred always needs to be challenged. Silence is violence. ❤

  34. Thank you, Debby, for your in depth post on Israel and Hamas. I was particularly struck by the video by the son of the Hamas leader and his cry for the execution of Hamas. Very powerful as is the remainder of the post.

    1. Thank you Carol. The son of Hamas’ words is so important for the world to hear from his own words. I know Montreal is having it’s share of antisemitic shenanigans. 😦 ❤

  36. Hi Debby, thanks so much for doing the research and compiling this post where your emotions are palpable. This is so well written. Just listening to that Columbia Professor stirred up my emotions. I just don’t understand how hate can be the choice. What has occurred is beyond unfathomable. It’s scary to see in the video what you’re experiencing in your country. I am on the same page, and though it sounds so trite, I continue to hope and pray that the horror will end, that innocent lives will be spared. I could go on too, but just know I’m thinking of you and appreciate this detailed information. Hugs xo

    1. HI Lauren. Thanks so much for reading and leaving your thoughts. This war is and has been escalated by Hamas’ propaganda lies spread through the Arab world on Al Jazeera networks. They are urging ‘their people’ around the world with their propaganda and lies and videos that aren’t even from the current war, and lying about their reports from Gaza, and ordered to do these protests globally. The hate is instilled and the truth is smeared and blinded. This is the uproaring around the world. It doesn’t matter that so many of these protester immigrants came looking for a peaceful life, but are still led by their terrorist leaders and take their orders from Hamas. Scary and sad. 😦 ❤

  37. Hi Debby,

    Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of this confusing, delicate, and complicated matter. I read every letter of it and am grateful to better understand the differences between all the parties now. I’m saving your videos for later, when I have more time and can dig in a bit more.

    I do hope this matter won’t turn into another war, of course, and I don’t think it will. Hamas will never conquer Israel. The US will prevent that. I’m so sorry to read how your country is suffering from this hatred; I’ve heard and noticed growing displeasure with your PM from many people.

    Thanks again for informing us!

    1. HI Liesbet. Thanks so much for reading, and I’m glad I was able to help you understand better what’s happening. It seems to me with many of these protests, political leaders are radio silent because they don’t want to jeopardize votes for them in next election. Yes, it’s all about money and power, and NOT the people. It seems it’s the UK actually controlling the crowded hate protests best and making arrests. Perhaps Canada could learn from them. If hate is not publicly condemned, and stopped with punishments, it will only grow worse. I heard there were protests in Brazil too. Not sure about the rest of South America. Stay safe and informed. ❤ xx

  38. Thank you for speaking out and for the thoughtful post. I too am baffled by many things you addressed, including our PM’s wishy-washy stance. And isn’t it interesting that the leader of Hamas is reportedly living in luxury in Dubai while all this is unfolding? I don’t know where or when this war will end, but it feels like Hamas’s time in running Gaza is almost over. The question is where will these terrorists regroup next? Maybe they should go visit their leader in Dubai.

  41. Powerful Deb, extremely powerful. I saw this brainwashing as a 1960s college student listening to Abbie Hoffman and Kurt Vonnegut’s political protests claiming police were “pigs” and soldiers, “baby killers.” I saw this as a European tour guide escorting travelers to Dachau Concentration camp. Villagers still refused to believe it happened. “Propaganda,” they claimed. I viewed it in 1980s Washington DC while working with political rallies. During the speeches, I thought, this guy was telling them only what they wanted to hear. But all the people cheered anyway. No one seems to think for themselves!

    You’re right Debbie, few people research or think for themselves anymore! People allow themselves to become sheep when they won’t research the Truth for themselves. Whether it’s crazy diet plans or political manipulation.

    The world has been brainwashed like the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie “Running Man.” Today’s media directs the mind and therefore the soul of the people. Today’s news copywriters chop off sentences and no one hears “peacefully and patriotically walk down . . .” only what the media wants people to hear. “Baa, baa,” said the sheep. Perception becomes reality.

    I am so proud of you, my friend, as your voice cries out in this wasteland. Continue to raise your flag high as we stand with you. ❤

  43. Time to make a forced population transfer of Arabs living in E. Jerusalem and Samaria to Gaza. Like the post War Allies removed 14 million Germans from the Czech Republic and Poland after Hitler denounced the “stolen occupied territories”. Time to permanently end the lie: “From the River to the Sea Palestine must be Free” lie.

  44. As General MacArthur dictated the details of the post War Government of Japan, so too Israel must dictate the Constitution/charter of the new Gaza government that shall rule Gaza and the dhimmi Arab populations removed from E. Jerusalem and Samaria to Gaza.

    The UN must leave Gaza. Jerusalem shall establish the Arab government that rules Gaza just as did the United States imposed the Japanese Constitution following the unconditional surrender of Japan to General MacArthur. The model of the post war peace established between the US & Japan shall serve as the model whereby Israel shall establish the government of Gaza.

    Just as the US forced a 14 million population transfer of German populations in the Czech Republic and Poland, Israel shall likewise impose a forced population transfer of Arab refugee populations currently residing in E. Jerusalem and all of Samaria to Gaza. Jerusalem commits to open business and trade with the new Israeli established Gaza Government and significantly invest in rebuilding the economy of defeated Gaza like as did the United States did with Japan.
