Listen this is my experience with these kinds of pressures that we are going through.

Fifteen years ago, I was in a bit of the same situation. Denmark had just been attacked, viciously, by the entire Muslim world over some pictures, and I stood up and defended my country, intellectually.

The pressure was real, and all the nay sayers and vicious traitors were doubling down on me. From my own family, the police, a lot of my friends. They fought me with nasty means.

It kind of culminated, and I fled to another city where I had some friends and found a girlfriend that I made into my fiance and got two kids with.

In other words, pressure like this is REALLY changing the situation. There will be a before and an after.

This time around the same is happening for me, as it is in Israel. I have lost loads of friends. But the reality is, that when this is finished. There will be a new situation. If everything goes according to plan, I will be plugged in to the political system and will have broken the death grip the police had held on me until now. Or the tv station will actually bloom and grow.

Either of the two, maybe both.

The same can be said about Israel. We will be in a new situation. Being an integral part of the Middle East. We will have gone from being an alien to being a country with friends, real friends in the Middle East. Something that is accepted and we can, from there on, make a permanent settlement.

That is the boon we can see at the end of this war.

And it seems to me, that when we have made that peaceful administration. It is actually within grasp.

G-d bless the will to make a permanent Israel.
