Israel & Jewish Thoughts

My support for Israel does not come from religion. It does not come from Christianity, belief, or faith identity. It comes from my mind, from reading history, from observing patterns, and from thinking honestly about how humans, nations, and power actually work.

When I look at Jewish history, I do not see a simple story. I see one of the longest records of suffering, displacement, and survival in human civilization. From Roman destruction and exile, to centuries of persecution across Europe, to being treated as outsiders in many societies, to living under different empires where they were never fully safe or equal. Then came World War II and the Holocaust, where industrial scale murder was carried out simply because people were Jewish. Not because of actions, not because of choices, but because of identity.

Most people read that history emotionally and stop there. I look at what came after.

After all that pain, the Jewish people did not collapse. They did not disappear. They rebuilt themselves again and again. They focused on education, discipline, family, debate, science, and long term thinking. When I look at the modern world and see who is leading in technology, medicine, physics, economics, startups, law, and intellectual fields, I constantly see Jewish names. This is not luck. This is not propaganda. This is what happens when generations are forced to adapt, think deeply, and survive under pressure.

Hard times create strong people. That is not a slogan. It is a pattern repeated throughout history. Jewish history is one of the clearest examples of this truth. I respect that deeply.

Because of that understanding, I support Israel's right to exist and to defend itself. No nation should be expected to live forever under threat. No society should accept rockets, suicide attacks, or terrorism aimed at civilians as normal life. Self defense is not cruelty. It is survival. Every strong nation in history has defended itself when threatened. Expecting Israel to do otherwise is not morality, it is hypocrisy.

At the same time, I am not blind. Israel has been extremely weak when it comes to public relations and global messaging. In the modern era, wars are fought not only on the ground, but in minds. Terrorist groups and extremist movements are often very skilled at emotional manipulation. They understand how to use images, selective storytelling, simplified narratives, and social media to brainwash people who do not research history or context. They turn complex realities into emotional slogans, and many people fall for it because it feels morally comfortable.

I do not deny that innocent people suffer. I do not celebrate death. I do not believe any life is cheap. But I also reject fake moral frameworks where history is erased, context is removed, and responsibility is placed only on one side. I reject narratives where terrorism is excused, justified, or romanticized because of propaganda.

My position is not blind loyalty. It is rational respect. Respect for a people who went through centuries of destruction and still chose to build rather than disappear. Respect for a nation that understands that weakness invites annihilation in a hostile world.

I support Israel because I think. Because I study. Because I understand patterns of history. Not because I am told to. Not because of religion. Not because of trends. I support Israel from my brain ensures reason over emotion, context over slogans, and truth over propaganda.
