Sometimes one has to lay out some harsh reality to a longtime friend. And right now even many “liberal” Jews are realizing that their loyalty and dedication to leftwing causes gives them no protection from the baked-in-Jewhate of The Left when the chips are down.

Of course, that’s not all “liberal” Jews. Take Thomas Friedman, for instance. Who looks at the barbaric slaughter of Oct 7 and tells Jews to just ignore it.

I am watching the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza today and thinking about one of the world leaders I’ve most admired: Manmohan Singh. He was India’s prime minister in late November 2008, when 10 Pakistani jihadist militants from the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, widely believed to be linked to Pakistan’s military intelligence, infiltrated India and killed more than 160 people in Mumbai, including 61 people at two luxury hotels. What was Singh’s military response to India’s Sept. 11?

He did nothing.

Singh never retaliated militarily against the nation of Pakistan or Lashkar camps in Pakistan. It was a remarkable act of restraint. What was the logic?
