Exactly right. Not to mention the Iraqi civil war of 1991 (150-200,000 dead), Congo (6 million! since 1996), and the wars against Boko Haram and other Jihadists across Africa and the Middle East.

What do they have in common?

No Jewish involvement. It's that simple.

If anyone wants peace in Gaza, here's the secret formula:

Hamas surrenders to Israel; a superior force that has them surrounded.

They release the hostages. Their unconditional surrender will lead to a new leadership and a chance for peace in Gaza.

Ask Germany. They get it.

I agree with every word of this. At twenty years old, she carried the weight of Atlas for a short time and did what we were told to do: Be a Light Unto the Nations.

Joy, light and peace for 3300 years. And it ain't been easy.

Onward.

Eurovison is coming up. No, I'm too American to watch it despite 26 years in Europe. But here's a list of Jews in rock. If you think that's a joke, you won't know Jews or rock:

A healthy dose of pro-Jewish, pro-Israel reality from … wait for it … American college students.

I am in no mood for Eurovision antics (though it still hurts that some of the official hosts and participants are behaving dismally to Eden Golan and team).
But here is an interesting glimpse into the quiet undercurrents obscured by the loud global discourse.

The Polls are in: Americans (even American students) are pro-Jewish, pro-Israel, anti-Hamas, and generally speaking couldn't care less about everything flooding social media.

God Bless America.
