Hillel Fuld - I'm not Sorry

I usually ask Hillel before posting his stuff and he always says "yes" and "go for it" and 👍. This time, I'm not going to ask, but I will say thank you. His words speak for so many; his voice a critical part of Israel's attempt to make others understand. And if they can't, Hillel speaks to his people, our people...because, as he writes, "I am so sick of Jews apologizing for existing." 

My guess is that I'll have two responses in the comments - "I agree" and endless hate messages from the cowards who refuse to even put their names to their endless links not followed.

And I quote - Hillel Fuld

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for existing.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for defending themselves.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for the optics of doing what’s right.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for coming back to their eternal homeland.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for fighting back and defeating a cruel terrorist organization.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for winning wars.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for the (tragic but inevitable) innocent people who die in a war that Israel didn’t start and didn’t want.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for speaking up against antisemitism.

I am so sick of Jews apologizing for stating the hard, but unpopular fact that Israel is fighting a society that is deeply indoctrinated and rotten to the core.

I am so done apologizing.

I am NOT sorry for existing, for defending myself, for the optics of this war, for coming home to my homeland, for waging a war against a cruel terrorist organization, for winning wars, for the innocent people that Hamas is using as human shields in order to maximize civilian deaths (I am sad about it, I truly am, but every one of those people is on Hamas, not Israel.), for speaking up against antisemitism, and for unequivocally stating that Gaza and the general Palestinian society is deeply indoctrinated and rotten to the core (of course there are some innocent people but those innocent people are silent and therefore irrelevant. Besides, thousands of those so-called innocent people took part in October 7th, gave out candies to celebrate Jewish deaths, and/or voted for Hamas. That’s not what I call innocent.)

Israel, contrary to what you were told, has the most moral army in the world. The lengths that the IDF goes to in order to minimize civilian deaths in Gaza are unprecedented and unparalleled.

The ratio between terrorist and “innocent” Gazan killed by Israel is unprecedented and unparalleled.

Dropping pamphlets to let the enemy know where the IDF will attack and when is unprecedented and unparalleled.

Israel and the Jewish people have nothing to apologize for. The Jewish people have been nothing but a source of light in this world.

Between the Nobel prizes won by Jews, Israel’s position as a leading technology superpower (look down at whatever device you are reading this on, and chances are at least part of it was developed in Israel), breakthroughs in medicine, cutting edge cancer treatments and research, rescue efforts across the world, and countless other achievements, the Jewish people have always been a source of bright light.

Sometimes when a light is too bright, if not prepared, it can blind you.

The Jews are done apologizing for their light, and if you don’t like it, either get sunglasses or be prepared to be blinded.

Our light will never go out, no matter how much darkness our enemies bring.

The era of the apologetic Jew who is led to the gas chambers with shaking knees, are over.

Sorry, but we are no longer sorry!
