A timely and important article. Thank you.

Shar S Please note that on October 7, atrocities were committed against innocent Israeli babies, women and children by Hamas, a well-known terrorist regime. Please note Hamas used and continues to use hospitals, schools, daycare facilities and hotels as a base of operations. Please note that Hamas will not release the hostages- those that are still alive - including babies and children and women. What will stop them from pursuing the same type of government with horrendous policies unless they are gone? Who voted them into office? The people living in Gaza. They know who they are. They knew about the tunnels. Both young and old celebrated the actions of those October 7. Israel deserves and is entitled to defend itself.

thank you Bari Weiss, for your bravery in the face of cultural elitism and it's misguided "gods." You have helped open my eyes

Maurine, thank you for the extensive quotes from her speech. She is spot on in her analysis. Her online magazine, thefp.com, is eye opening. I don't agree with all she has on there, but the perspectives are very well thought out.

Thank You for posting this. Question: Why post this article in an LDS magazine? Because one could easily exchange Jew for LDS. We, too, have come from a history of persecution and are wont to think that this is all in the past. I am afraid I see the shadows on the horizon. Bad times may come for us also. If we now do not help Jews, who is going to help us?

What we all know is there is no freedom without sacrifice. Think of Trenton, Valley Forge and Washington!

I like Weiss. I also understand the history of Israeli policies, studying them for a long time and visiting Israel and Palestine and seeing for myself. Our world will not be free until we truly treat each other as equals. It is not anti semitic to disagree and protest against government policies. I believe the policies of Israel toward Palestinians have gone beyond what is humane. There are words by Israelis themselves that show they believe in ethnic cleansing. There are Jewish historians who argue this as well. Israel has broken international law. I believe you are charging people for being antisemitic who may just be protesting Israeli policy.

The Latter-day Saints are of the house of Israel and are connected to the Jewish people. We too have suffered pogroms in our history. The doctrines of the church are under attack. Thank God for apostles and prophets.
