I Think: This Will Be It

My best friend, Avi Dorfman, right after he was critically injured in a terrorist attack.
Every time a rocket is launched unprovoked at Israeli civilians,
I think: this will be it.
Every time the army starts a dangerous operation to protect Palestinian civilians when they could be doing something much more effective and much less dangerous to them,
I think: this will be it.
Every time a terror attack kills Israeli civilians for no reason,
I think: this will be it.
Every time I post an emotional piece about my best friend being injured in a terror attack,
I think: this will be it.
Every time an Islamist terror attack massacres Europeans or Americans for no reason,
I think: this will be it.
Every time a Palestinian leader calls for Jewish blood,
I think: this will be it.
Every time a video comes out of Palestinians giving out candy to celebrate a terror attack,
I think: this will be it.
Every time video footage is released of a young Palestinian child telling the cameras they want to grow up to be a shaheed and kill Jews,
I think: this will be it.
Every time the UN passes a ludicrous and blatantly antisemitic resolution,
I think: this will be it.
Every time the Palestinians claim they don’t want two states, they want all or nothing,
I think: this will be it.
Every time the Palestinians deny history, deny that 3800 years of Jewish culture existed,
I think: this will be it.
Every time they chant the call for genocide “from the river to the sea,”
I think: this will be it.
Every time I see them lobby for the release of a convicted terrorist and murderer who lied on her immigration papers,
I think: this will be it.
Every time they yell that an intifada needs to begin, both in “Palestine” and in America,
I think: this will be it.
Every time they are caught destroying Jewish archaeological evidence and holy sites,
I think: this will be it.
Every time I tell people that the picture above is my best friend when he was injured just for being a Jew on his ancestral homeland,
i think: this will be it.
Every time they actually call for the genocide of Jews,
I think: this will be it.
That’s when I realize,
it will never be it.
