The Hagadah says "Every generation they rise to destroy us."

I saw this happening 20 years ago. My red pill moment, when crazies on college campuses blamed 9/11 on "The Jews."

BLM openly supported Hamas and Palestinian terrorists. They weren't shy about it.

Now the Crybully tactics repeat. Hamas goes in, murdered innocents, sticks babies in ovens, and then cries like a little bitch when they provoke the response that they actually wanted.

But we're all confused. Down is up. Up is down. A society that doesn't know what a man or a woman is sure as hell doesn't know how to distinguish good from evil.

Young people now think Osama Bin Laden had a "few good points." Soon they'll say the same about Hitler.

Do I and my fellow Jews deserve this?

Actually, maybe we do.

We were warned again and again by Hashem, culminating in Deuteronomy 28. We follow the laws of Hashem, we will be protected, prosperous, happy. We break the laws, we will be hunted, scattered, terrified.

How well is our upkeep?

Well, plenty of Reform Jews were out there marching with BLM, oblivious to their stance on Israel and Jews. "Oh, they don't really mean that."

Yes they did.

I quit my old synagogue when I ridiculed the latest golden calf they insisted we worship: Those gawdam masks.

Were they at the vanguard to protect the sanctity of marriage? Hell no. Even Chabadnik Shmuley Boteach who got himself in the public's eye, celebrated the travesty of Obergefell.

And Israel? They went full green pass with the vaccine. It made me weep that there was no more Israel. Just like there's no more United States. No more England. No more Canada. No more Australia. No more France.

We're all just different regional offices of Pfeizer.

So G-d, true to his word with the covenant, is preparing the belt for the spanking once again.

Israel could be the redemption of the Jewish people and the return of the messiah.

Or it could be another false hope, no more a messiah than Sabbatai Zvei.

And the funny thing is? The answer to that flipping coin depends on our observance of the Law, not the whims of fate or the casting of lots.

How are we doing?

I'm not secure in it.

The shining light to the nations has gotten mired in idolatry, worshipping false gods, including some very vicious ones, like Communism, Identity politics, Wokism.

But Kodosh Baruch Hu will remind us - one way or the other -- that his is the only way.

Have mercy, Hashem, on Israel and the virtuous souls of the United States and the west. Remember your promise to Abraham, that the city of Sodom would be spared if only ten righteous souls could be found.

Can we find a sufficient proportion of righteous souls in the west?

If so, spare us as you promised Abraham.

If not... do what must be done to restore your holy name.
