Ego Is Killing Israel Advocacy |
Where did our fight for Israel go? Where did our courage, common sense, and decency , the things that should bind us, evaporate into ego, petty competition, and calculated silence?
I’ll be blunt: the pro-Israel movement is bleeding out from within. Not from lack of facts, not from a shortage of courage on the battlefield, but from the banal, corrosive human weaknesses that should be beneath us: ego, greed, cowardice, and an astonishing tolerance for disunity. I’m not judging from some ivory tower. I was born into a military family, saw the world young, learned the harsh lessons of being “different,” and built my life around action, not performative posts. For the last eleven years I’ve run Time To Stand Up For Israel, posting day and night, doing the work others preach about. What I’ve watched, up close, is devastating.

I’ve been reported, banned, and shadowed. So have others. A friend, a valuable entrepreneur with three companies, was deleted from LinkedIn last week. He depended on that platform. He asked for help. Nobody rallied. Where were the “influencers” who parachute in with virtue when it benefits them and disappear when it gets costly?
