Thank god for people like you. I read this articulate speech and truly ruminate on these words: " If you don't learn from history, you are bound to repeat it".
I am appalled that Bari Weiss had to give this type of speech IN THE UNITED STATES! With police protection no less. I know now how naive I was to discount the “liberal education” at colleges to be of consequence. This country’s legacy is to consistently work toward equality for all citizens in our country. As a Christian, I admire the Jewish religion and credit them with the spiritual growth the world has known. After all, Jesus was a Jew. We now have a vicious, radicalized segment of our population spewing hate speech and genocide not only with words but with physical violence. How can this be allowed? We have free speech, but not free harassment, not free behavior that manifests as violence.
Many of these comments are philosophical in nature when, to me, the bottom line is how and where do you stand? I intend to be vocal and committed in my support for Israel and our Jewish citizens.
And that means each of us using our personal capital to talk about these issues and stimulate thought for all who remain neutral or apathetic. I still have hope that the silent majority will wake up to this evil.
It is abundantly clear to me that what is bringing down western civilization is progressivism. We can thank progressives for this latest embarrassing episode of anti semitism.
It really is a bankrupt concept. I have no earthy idea how an adult with a brain can claim with a straight face they are a progressive. But yet here we are.
Maybe humans aren’t all that smart after all. AI is going to have an easy time of it.
You forgot one thing to do to fight for freedom. A simple act, that may go against your previous beliefs, but without doing it, this entire speech is rendered empty and worthless:
Vote for Trump in 2024.
Better yet, publicly endorse him. And do so without apology.
Reading this made me feel so proud to be a Jew. I'm always proud, but especially so after reading this. They chose the right person to deliver the State of World Jewry this year! (Though I did feel it was a little too America-focused for a conversation about world Jewry. I know American Jews make up nearly half of world Jewry at this time, but it would have been nice to see more nods and quotes from Jewish thinkers from across communities.)
Thank you for sharing this, thank you for your work, thank you for your courage and conviction. Know that while the voices of those who hate Jews are very loud today know that there are many standing with Israel. I am Cuban-American and my husband is Jewish. I love the Jewish people . Your work is so important both of my children are in college and the Free Press has kept them enlightened and on the path of truth. Thank you for your faith. We do answer to a higher authority and we must fight for truth. My prayers are constant for the light to prevail, for the hostages, for all in Israel and for all fighting the battle of truth. Thank you, this was very encouraging!
Bari. you are young enough to be my daughter. How proud I would be if you were my daughter.
Thank god for people like you. I read this articulate speech and truly ruminate on these words: " If you don't learn from history, you are bound to repeat it".
Amen Bari , Amen my sister … Amen. If only our President had the courage to speak like you .

I am submitting a write in ballot for Bari for president. How much better off we all would be.

Which curator from the Jewish Museum - can someone please tell me?
I'm afraid for her. She'd be 100 times safer from assasination in Alabama than in New York.
Isn't it amazing how quickly how New York went from being a Jewish city to a Jew-hating one?
Maoist struggle sessions have been digitized. People expressing valid criticism are canceled on social media instead of the village square

Courage to be Free — thank you infinitely, Bari 🙏
Amazing & inspiring speech, Bari. Thank you!

Sad but true. However, we can't give up. She needs to try.
I am thankful to you for so much, Bari - not least for giving me a place to go, and always, though now more than ever, for the courage you inspire.
