Jews across the West must defend themselves within a culture that has increasingly replaced evidence with narrative.
It’s not clear who won the recent war in Gaza. We probably won’t know the answer to that question until we’re able to judge how many months of peace Israel has been able to purchase. In the interim, we’re left with memes about Israeli “white privilege” that have taken hold in pop culture.
After 1,000 bombs were dropped over 11 days of fighting, the Israeli Defense Forces say that they “killed at least 225 Gaza-based terrorists.” More than two-thirds of those killed were terrorists, and the IDF has the evidence to prove it. Roughly 60 of the dead were civilians, some killed by the 35 percent of Iranian-designed rockets fired by Hamas that fell short and landed within Gaza. The UN estimates higher civilian casualties.
