Convincing the World that Israel Is Doing the Right Thing


(Jerusalem Post) Micah Halpern - Israel is doing the right thing. It is defending itself. And along the way, it is making the world a safer place and a better place - now and for generations to come. Morally, ethically, Jewishly, and according to international rules of war, Israel is operating on the right side. There are still some sane people in the world who are not obsessed with the Jewish state, who do not hate Israel, who do not embrace the enemies of Israel and celebrate their unfathomably unjust and immoral cause. It can be excruciatingly difficult to watch and witness the spread of rash, harsh bile and unsubstantiated hatred directed at Jews and Israel. Haters and their messages have been amplified in new media, explicitly directed toward young people. Israel is constantly portrayed as wrong, as the evil aggressor. The big issue is messaging. It means not just doing the right thing - it means convincing the world that Israel is doing the right thing.
