The protests against Israel started almost as soon as the attack on 10/7 began. It was a coordinated effort of violence and delegitimization that had thought and money behind it.
Don’t ask me to provide the full story here because I haven’t tried to flesh it out nor have I taken time to put all of the pieces together to fill out the puzzle.
But I am confident there is something there and that if someone hasn’t begun trying to figure it out they really ought to because it would be a mistake to let this lie.
You can’t win a game when you don’t know the rules or how it is being played and this game is for keeps.
Been thinking about it off and on for a while and while I was venting in the post I wrote yesterday I felt this idea in the back of my head.
I may not have all of the details and may be wrong in some areas but I am certainly not wrong-wrong meaning there is substance here.
Pieces of it began with Durban and twenty plus years of propaganda and indoctrination on our university campuses.

The Seder today was nothing like that of my youth or even those when my children were younger. Some of that has everything to do with natural changes that come with life.

None of that is unique to my family or unexpected but there are moments where it feels surreal.
Great grandparents, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and cousins that used to be a guaranteed lock on attending couldn’t show up without the help of a medium, time traveling device or some other magic.
But I look for some of them anyway and think about things that happened decades ago because that is what holidays are to me, events that connect the past, the present and the future.
I told every at the table tonight that Pesach is proof to me that no matter what happens now we are going to be ok because it is that kind of holiday.
You don’t spend 2,000 years saying next year in Jerusalem and see a dream become a reality without knowing there is some kind of magic there.
Don’t care if you call yourself a math and science person who only believes what you can taste, touch, feel and or prove with numbers because there is something more.
What that is I can’t tell you, but I know it is there
In every generation we face a challenge and in every generation we figure out solutions, some better than others but always a solution.
