While millions of Israelis—children, parents, the elderly, people with disabilities, even Holocaust survivors—were jolted awake in the middle of the night and forced to run for shelter with families carrying toddlers down stairwells, wheelchair users struggling to reach safety and with many buildings not even having private shelters, forcing frail residents to descend multiple flights in the dark.
Blima Marcus chose this moment to lecture the Jewish people about the “State of Israel.”
Know that just last week, a 17‑year‑old girl was killed by a car while running for cover. This week, hundreds of innocent Jews were injured and others killed by 2 thousand tons of ballistic cluster bombs And in the same week, a young Jewish Settler teenager was deliberately run down and murdered by Palestinian Arabs!
Yet in the comfort of her chassidishe home in Boro Park, Blima decided that the true culprit—the one deserving her outrage—is not the terrorists, not the murderers, not those firing missiles at civilians. No. She blames the State of Israel.
"I love the land of Israel and the stone and the sand and the gravesites of our ancestors every few feet and the streets paved a thousand years ago and homes carved out hundreds of years ago.
And I love the people of Israel, a fierce fierce people with humor and love and outrageous chutzpah which is the only reason we are still here and have carved out a space for ourselves despite the very best intentions of their surrounding neighbors.But god do I hate the State, the current State, the government, the leadership, who turn blind eyes to immorality, to hate, to racism. Who let our own people harm others, murder, rape, pillage, others. Who let extremists run amok, who pretend to investigate, who don’t investigate.The State, who ruins all pride and hope we’ve held in the Land and the People."
At first glance, her words may sound poetic or heartfelt. But this is simply a rhetorical device—a way to wrap an anti‑Zionist message in sentimental language. My previous post about her reached over 30,000 readers, and now she has responded, revealing exactly where she stands.
Let’s break down her statements.
BLIMA: "I love the land of Israel and the stone and the sand and the gravesites of our ancestors every few feet and the streets paved a thousand years ago and homes carved out hundreds of years ago"
DIN: She begins by romanticizing graves and dead Jews!
Loving Eretz Yisrael means loving the living nation, the miracle of Jewish sovereignty, the revival of the Hebrew language, a home of over eight million Jews, who have miraculously returned from the 4 corners of the globe in our own lifetime. This miracle has never happened in the entire history of the world, where a people living in other countries come back by the millions to their ancestral homeland after 2,000 years ! Reducing Israel to graves, stones and dead Jews is not love—it’s nostalgia weaponized against the modern Jewish state.
BLIMA: "And I love the people of Israel, a fierce fierce people with humor and love and outrageous chutzpah which is the only reason we are still here and have carved out a space for ourselves despite the very best intentions of their surrounding neighbors"
BLIMA: "But god do I hate the State, the current State, the government, the leadership, who turn blind eyes to immorality, to hate, to racism. Who let our own people harm others, murder, rape, pillage, others. Who let extremists run amok, who pretend to investigate, who don’t investigate. The State, who ruins all pride and hope we’ve held in the Land and the People."
"But god do I hate the State, the current State, the government, the leadership, who turn blind eyes to immorality, to hate, to racism.
Here the mask drops. Her language is not critique—it is hostility.
She arrogantly drags G-D (she writes "God with a small "g") into her hate and lies!
She accuses Israel of turning a blind eye to immorality and racism. Yet Israel’s military is among the most restrained in the world. If Israel lacked morality, Gaza would have been flattened long ago. Instead, our husbands, our children in uniform died because they were instructed to minimize civilian harm—even when facing an enemy that hides behind civilians. So now we have hundreds of widows and orphans because of this very "morality" that Blima states arrogantly we don't have!
Racism???? Israel brought hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel and the present minister of Immigration is an Ethiopian! In Beit Shemesh as in other cities, Jews live side by side with blacks! She parrots lies and fabrications from Al Jazeera. Arabs are judges in Israel, in fact the ex-PM Ehud Olmert was sentenced by an Arab Judge. Arabs serve in the IDF and many are generals, Arabs have seats in the Knesset, Arabs serve proudly in the Israeli Police force yet she accuses Israel of racism!
She claims Israel “lets extremists run amok.” Every credible allegation is investigated. Even false accusations—like the debunked claim that soldiers abused prisoners—were investigated thoroughly, and the soldiers were cleared. Yet she repeats these disproven stories as if they were fact.
She claims Israelis “murder, rape, pillage.”
What murder? Who murdered? Who raped? Who pillaged?
What is is blabbering about? This is not criticism. This is a blood libel.
As I have written before she is pandering to her Goyishe co-workers and her far left haters of Israel!
4. The irony
If she wants to talk about racism or hatred, she might look closer to home. There are communities in Israel that refuse to admit Sephardic children into their schools. There are groups that benefit from the State while denouncing it. But none of this appears in her critique. Her anger is reserved solely for the Jewish state defending itself from terror.
