The challenge is to offer equal rights without the areas of equality building militias underground to launch attacks of mass murder with atrocities and barbarism as happened from Gaza on October 7 2023 .
Gazans now claim they had a good life before the Israeli counter-attack .
Yet the anti-Israel propagandists claimed Gaza was an open prison or on par with the Warsaw Ghetto during World War 2 .
The IDF in Gaza found many Nazi texts in the schools run by UNRWA .
Education and Media in the West Bank schools defend the idea that the Jewish People have No Right of Return to their Ancient Holy Land even to escape Genocide .

This is an inspiring discussion with two Jews who are focused on the ethical component of Judaism to an extent which puts some rabbis and communal leaders to shame. They also pivot their response from a position of hope, rather than fear, and show how assertiveness by Diaspora Jewry can be so very effective.
