Let me start today with a couple statistics that, if you are a thinking person, (sorry Tucker) should make you truly wonder how the United States and the world fell into the false narrative that the New York Times was the paper of record in America.

In a book by Laurel Leff, called Buried in the Times, she summarizes these embarrassing numbers. Between 1939-1945 the paper of record published 11,500 stories about World War II (that’s 2 not 11). The paper had 30 foreign correspondents across Europe throughout the war. Meanwhile, the editors had on their desks information that was confirmed by the allies of the Final Solution to the Jewish question in December of 1942. Of the 1,200 stories they wrote about the holocaust they unforgivably ran a measly 26 of them on page one. In only 6 of those were Jews identified as the primary victims. Instead victims were routinely described as “refugee” or “persecuted minorities.” Worst of all, on the day the concentration camps were liberated, the paper did not lead with that story.

I once asked someone close to me who used to subscribe to this dishonest partisan rag full of lies, how can a Jew who has even a minimal slice of self-worth, ever think about giving these awful people any money? How much do you despise your own people that you would allow yourself to be terrorized by these blow hard self-important arrogant arbiters of “news”? That question has even more relevance today, but I think there are more important questions to be asked which leads us to our current situation. What will it take for Jews to stop participating in their own demise? How much longer will we bend our knees at the alter of progressive self-righteous snobbery? What else has to happen to your people for you to finally say enough is enough? Will the recent trash they published and subsequently defended about Jews training their dogs to rape Palestinians, be enough for you? Or are you waiting for even more ridiculous fabrications for them to print with again zero evidence to back up their claims for the sole purpose of slandering Israel and the Jewish people? Or will you continue to lend them credibility and blame Israel because…fill in the blank?

Picking up on the idea of Jews who feed the beast that continues to bite them, I did not watch the Netflix roast of Kevin Hart. However Mitch’s Substack did. Referencing host Shane Gillis, Mitch wrote this: “He said, speaking of Jewish comedian Chelsea Handler, who was also in attendance: “Chelsea is a Zionist. Not saying that’s a good or bad thing. Speaking of dead kids, she’s a big fan of abortions.” Handler, having been born to a Mormon mother, is actually NOT Jewish according to Jewish Law. In her response, Handler made sure she stayed in the good graces of her non-Jewish overlords with this ridiculously uneducated and stupid comment. “Shane, just so you know, Judaism and Zionism are two different things.”

Actually Chelsea, they are not. Zionism by definition is the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in their ancestral land. Not only is that an integral part of Judaism, but had she known anything about Judaism, she would know that when the Jewish people pray daily, they ask their Creator for exactly that.

“Return to Jerusalem Your City with mercy; dwell within it, as You declared. Speedily establish the throne of David, Your servant, within it; rebuild it soon in our lifetime as an eternal structure.”

“May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, G-d, Who returns His Presence to Zion.”

Our return to Zion cannot be simply ignored or separated from our DNA. Two times each day in the Shema prayer Jews acknowledge the land which G-d has promised them. “I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil. And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat........
