The events of October 7, 2023, awakened me. They changed my relationship with Israel and opened my eyes to the decaying of this country that I love, that has now been my home for 32 years — the United States.
The US is becoming a laughingstock of the world, deservedly so. We are still the strongest democracy in the world. People still want to move here, but we are resting on the laurels of our past glory, which was achieved by elevating meritocracy and excellence. Our successes, and our grocery stores full of food, have gone to our heads and are turning us into a society focused only on pleasant outcomes, independent of how much work we put in.
