It is agonizing to watch the political ground dissolve beneath my feet.
On the Left, the abandonment is systemic. A top consultant signs with Ro Khanna, who demands a path to a phantom Palestinian state as a condition for aid. AOC openly opposes funding the Iron Dome, actively rejecting purely defensive, life-saving technology. Even my own Governor, Gavin Newsom, slipped and called Israel an "Apartheid State."
But by any definition, that accusation vanishes into thin air. South African apartheid was a legal system of total racial segregation designed to keep a minority in power. Israel is a diverse democracy where Arab citizens have full voting rights, serve as high-ranking judges, hold seats in the Knesset, parliament, and receive the exact same medical care in integrated hospitals. It is a complex national conflict over borders and security, not a system of racial supremacy. Newsom quickly recanted his comment, but the mask had already slipped.
Yet the Right offers no refuge. I oppose virtually everything Trump and the GOP stand for. Their reckless foreign policy, bombing Iranian nuclear sites and decapitating leadership, failed to break Tehran’s brutal, theocratic regime. Instead, the Trump, Netanyahu axis achieved something far more dangerous: it painted a bullseye on global Jewry.
Whether driven by the Left’s betrayal or the Right’s recklessness, the result is identical: Jews are targeted and murdered globally. I will not stop repeating that terrifying truth. Another masterful piece, Grace.
