Thank you, Gates. Let’s go to Israel together - I haven’t been in 2.5 years.

I'm proud to share this deeply personal piece in @CityJournal

Before October 7th, I knew embarrassingly little about Israel. So I scheduled a trip. The horrific events caused the trip to be canceled. Today, I'm one of Israel's most committed defenders.

Not because it's politically convenient. And certainly not because it's popular.

I studied its history, came to admire its people, and watched in disbelief as Americans rationalized the horrors of October 7.

But something else shaped my convictions: the character of the people on either side of this debate.

As a Catholic, a father of four, and a man trying to raise children with moral courage, I refuse to let election results, internet influencers, or the pursuit of popularity dictate my principles.

My children will someday look back at the people I admired and the causes I defended. I want them to know their father stood for something, even when it cost him something.

I'd rather stand with people of character than stand on the winning side.

Israel is the tip of the spear. It’s the “little devil” - America and Western Civilization more broadly is the “big devil.” The red-green venomous coalition must be defeated.

New Democratic Rep. Darializa Chevalier elected last week is proud of her antizionist organization that seeks "the eradication of Western Civilization."

I keep saying: Antisemitism is just the tip of the spear of a nihilist and collectivist ideology that seeks the destruction of Western Civilization. Literally.
