Redemption is not recompense — however, it can be devastating and for the record, it is.
In the world: We are no longer witnessing a war waged in Israel alone — this is a War against the Jewish People.
Currently, we are now witnessing and experiencing a ‘War against the Jewish People’, and the current battlegrounds are a) Media, b) Arts & so-called Artists, and what used to pass for c) Education in and among the varied institutions of American Academia.
In Israel:
We are walking on land that is literally soaked (saturated) in Jewish blood . . . with no redemption in sight.

The Genesis of it all: only if you are able . . .
“What have you done? Hark, your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground!
Therefore, you shall be more cursed than the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
If you till the soil, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall become a ceaseless wanderer on earth.” (i.e. nowhere to run — nowhere to hide).

Visiting the “blood-soaked grounds” and an understanding of “recompense”
The ground soaked in blood: Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who visited several of the sites where the Oct. 7 attack took place, including the Nova festival and Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Redemption or no redemption: Haley then headed to the Lebanon border on Tuesday, where she wrote a message on an artillery shell to be shot at Hezbollah targets: “Finish them! America ❤ Israel. Always, Nikki Haley.”

How do we understand redemption? Does it contain an increment of recompense? Is there such a thing as a finishing?
Murder, land seizure, kidnapping, rape — the documents are clear — there can be no act of cleansing nor forgiveness for any of these — nor is there a place for the perpetrators to hide away . . . . Gaza with all of its so-called unintended mistakes is but a proof text of this understanding. Ask me further about the truths of the Gaza Health Ministry, as if the world doesn’t know the truth. They do . . . .

Reminder: the Biden-Administration-Kirby reminds us . . . .
Never forget: Kirby, pressed by reporters on whether the U.S. will alter its support for Israel, asserted that Washington is giving Israel “the kinds of capabilities they need to defend themselves.” Viewed as one of the more stalwartly pro-Israel voices in the administration, Kirby delivered a terse response about the threats Israel still faces. “Maybe some people have forgotten what happened on the seventh of October, but we haven’t. Twelve hundred Israelis, innocent Israelis slaughtered, mutilated, raped, tortured, and they’re living right next to that kind of threat, still a viable threat in Rafah,” said Kirby. “Israel has every right to not want to live next to that kind of threat. And yes, we’re going to continue to provide them the capabilities to go after it.”
My suggestion is that he remembers what he reminds us of . . .

And in closing . . . Jerry Seinfeld sat down with Bari Weiss to discuss his trip to Israel after Oct. 7, and being a Jewish target of Jewhater protesters at his recent comedy shows:
