Thanks for your article. Wonderful writing as usual. As a Canadian Jewish woman I grieve deeply for the current situation in Israel. However I am convinced the on-going conflict is being abetted by the woke left (a.k.a. cultural Marxists) in Israel and elsewhere who, regardless of what religion they claim to be, are working towards the dismantling of Western civilization. Although Israel's intelligence agencies certainly have much to answer for in failing to anticipate this brutal attack, the country's current crisis over judicial reform also played a role. This reform attempts to prevent Israeli judges from "making law", as many leftist judges want to do, instead of following the law. Leftist activists have successfully bamboozled many Israeli citizens into participating in massive pro-left protests and the ensuing chaos caused Israel’s leaders to take their eyes off the ball.

Wokism in the United States has also contributed to the massive attack on Israel. While Trump reduced funds to the terrorist-run Palestinians and dried up funds completely to Iran, their current “banker”, Biden has increased funds to Palestinians and, just weeks ago, sent a heap of money to Iran. A five-year-old could connect the dots.

I have no doubt that Israel’s current unity will eventually win this battle, but will it last long enough to win the war? If the cultural Marxists succeed you can kiss Israel goodbye, both as the seat of Judeo-Christian values and the free-market economy it has become. At which point, the radical Islamists will just stroll in and take over.

If, God forbid, that happens there will be no one left here in North America to protest. We will have already destroyed ourselves in the Marxist-inspired race and gender wars with the likes of Iran, China and Russia bickering over the spoils.

the police ought to charge the driver of that pickup truck with careless driving for allowing people to ride in the back of the pickup. Anyone found covering their face wearing a Palestinian headdress. and who is not a Canadian citizen, ought to be deported for supporting Hamas a terrorist organization. Same with the school board Trustee, if she is not a Canadian citizen, she should be targeted for deportation. Same goes for the Khalistan supporters -- leave your domestic politics at home where you came from. Free speech is one thing, but open support for nationally declared (by Canada) terrorist organizations is a non-starter. India is correct, Canada has to Crack down on its ignoring open support for terrorist groups.
