Tel-Chai Nation

Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.


10 years after the Bataclan massacre, and France is still a canary in the coal mine

Lars Moller wrote about how France continues to suffer from Islamofascism long after the bloodbath at the Bataclan:
Ten years have passed since the night of November 13, 2015 — the night that tore open the heart of the French Republic. The coordinated terrorist attacks that culminated in the Bataclan massacre, where 90 civilians were slaughtered by Islamist gunmen, remain one of the darkest chapters in modern France’s history. The attackers, French citizens radicalized in the name of jihad, turned their weapons, not on soldiers but on concertgoers, young people, and lovers of life. The tenth anniversary of the massacre has equally revived collective mourning and unease. France again lights candles in the streets, again holds vigils for the murdered, and again confronts the question that has haunted it ever since: what, if anything, has France learned from Bataclan, from Charlie Hebdo, from Nice, from the long chain of Islamist massacres that have desecrated the Republic’s peace?

In recent weeks, that question acquired renewed urgency. French security services foiled yet another plot — this time, a conspiracy involving three Muslim women allegedly preparing an attack in the name of Islamic State. The tragedy that was narrowly averted underscores a brutal continuity: the ideology that motivated the Bataclan killers is not dead. It persists, mutates, and grows in new generations. Yet France’s public response — ritualized mourning, candlelight vigils, and peace marches — seems unable to rise to the level of the threat. The “shadow of the Bataclan” extends beyond the memory of a massacre; it is a permanent condition of French life, a shadow that lengthens with every denial, every euphemism, and every political retreat.
Something will have to be done to get all the Islamists out of the country, because this horrifying situation cannot go on.
