Loved this piece. Brilliant connection between angels and single-mindedness, I really appreciated that. It is, as you say, unfathomable how college students can "battle against microaggressions at breakfast with celebrating Hamas atrocities at lunchtime." But in the oppression Olympics, Jews will never win.
Great writing, Yaacov. This is subject matter that I for one would love to see you expand upon. But I'll be fine with whatever you bring next. :) One question: the second and third quote blocks were obviously Maharal, but the others?
Thanks so much! I really apreciate it. I am thinking at some point to sit down and spend more time developing some ideas I've written about in greater detail with more structure.
I’m afraid it’s more simple than you think. Remember Karl Marx’s quote:”We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. -Karl Marx” The only change has been pretending they have compassion now and “that’s the real reason we seek justice.”
“Conscious awareness is the only thing that can’t be an illusion.” A most important truth. Well done sir!

Oh I don't use them as quote blocks but to break up the page a bit!
Maybe just a simple line? Those are standard for quotes in Substack.
