The American people have decided. 

After the last 5-7 years of Woke ideology, which sought to take the country in a decidedly progressive direction, the majority has, instead, chosen to return to the familiar and time-tested path of tradition, common sense, and reason.

Donald Trump has won both the electoral college and the popular vote, displaying the rejection of policies that threatened to change American life in ways that were not acceptable to the majority. 

Their votes affirmed that boys should not be able to participate in girls’ sports, undress with them in the locker rooms, that abortion is not the number one issue on the minds of all, that open borders are not the way people should come into a country, that DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusivity) does not top meritocracy and, perhaps, most important of all, that Israel should be supported and protected.

The results of this crucial election have also sent a loud message to the Woke students throughout America’s college campuses that terrorism can be properly distinguished and that Israel’s right to defend her homeland and her citizens is still a value held by those who understand right from wrong.

The ability to call Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists, rather than freedom fighters, was also on the ballot because the Squad and their ilk did not win their bid to isolate Israel as a pariah while attempting to convince everyone that October 7th was a justified payback for establishing the Jewish homeland 76 years ago.

This victory is one which will impact Israel as she fights a battle, fully equipped from a military standpoint, because she will not be lacking the necessary weapons needed to win decisively against a bitter enemy that is set on her destruction. It means that true and lasting peace is within reach because the new Secretary of State will not be hopping on flights every couple of months to try to strongarm us into an ill-timed ceasefire at a time when our hostages remain languishing in the depths of Hamas tunnels.

While progress is important for every nation, it must be done in reasonable increments, with logic, common sense, and the ability to defend why new ideas are superior to those which are seeking to be replaced. 

In the case of the Woke progressives, no one, with a minimum of sound thinking, could make a reasonable case for such absurd ideas as promoting gender fluidity, hiding the thoughts and emotions of children from their parents, teaching new rules of gender, including explicit language and behavior, to children from K-6th grade or why libraries should have drag queen sponsored story hours.

This election proved that the majority does not view these changes as progress but rather as perversion. They are not seen as welcomed enhancements, but rather as a forced imposition of a viewpoint which rejects family, faith and the freedom to pass on one’s personally held values and principles to the next generation. 

The overreach of government, which was being fueled by individuals who despise the American way of life and all it brings, was apparently so onerous to most of the public, that voter turnout was greater than ever. Clearly, people understood the stakes, so they did what they had to do.

Here, in Israel, we can also breathe a great sigh of relief, knowing that, even with all its flaws, the Republicans, who have had a sweeping victory, both in the Office of President, Congress and the Senate, represent the party which is more favorable to Israel, more embracing of traditional family values and more likely to stand by our side in a war that they recognize is not reserved just for the Jewish people.

With much support from the evangelical community, the same people who are committed to pray for and bless Israel, through their repeated visits, we are assured of a faithful and loyal ally who will not be the fickle friends, weighing their support of us, based on polls or what they believe to be politically expedient for them.

The Abraham Accords now has a second shot at building a new era of cooperation and mutual respect between countries who otherwise would remain antagonistic towards us. For governments, brave enough to extend their hand of friendship, the possibility of a calm and peaceful future is within reach, for the first time in a long time.

It is this type of good will which can only serve to strengthen mankind and ensure a better tomorrow, a stark difference from the tearing down of revered statues and monuments, in an attempt to erase history and rewrite one which bears no resemblance to the true events that took place.
