I'm not Jewish, but always appreciate the thoughtful pieces they put out at Tablet, even where I partly or mostly disagree with them. Good reading to mull over on the self-extinction of Western cultures.

[Albion Wilde]

Salvation is for life in eternity, not creature comforts in this speck of time on earth. Salvation is the assurance that God will accept you into His kingdom forever, no matter how much you have suffered in this fallen realm of sin, and what you have been accused of on earth. Your misfortunes are not the worth of your baptized, repentant soul. They are the measure of your tormentors.

[Lurker]

Western civilization will never be able to coexist peacefully with islam. Their entire belief system forbids it.

The Kurds’ numbers on civilians killed in Mosul are far worse, BUT, the Kurds also stated that the higher numbers were killed by ISIS directly.

Pretty good article, actually. It doesn’t take into account the enormous amount of social media propaganda ongoing in this (Gaza) conflict, coming from the Russia / Iran / China side, however, compared to the battle in Mosul. (None of those countries favored ISIS - huh.)
