Ich bin schon immer ein politischer Mensch gewesen – das bleibt so. Genau deshalb war und bin ich kein Parteimitglied irgendeiner politischen Partei.
Letzteres ist die Vorraussetzung für den Erhalt meiner Freiheit. Das heißt nicht, dass ich mich nicht politisch engagiere. Wenn Parteien ihre Aufgaben nicht erfüllen,dann suchen sich die Bürger neue Wege, um Gehör und direkten Einfluss auf den politischen Diskurs zu gewinnen – das tue ich.
IDF Chief of Staff:
Any enemy who threatens Israel’s security will pay a heavy price. Trust us and rely on the strength of the Israel Defense Forces to act decisively in all areas.“
„When I assumed this office, I said that before our eyes lay the victory and defeat of the enemy.
Attached is a video statement from Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir:
Full speech by the Chief of Staff LTG. Eyal Zamir:
„Citizens of Israel,
We recently launched Operation Roaring Lion. The Israeli Defense Forces, in coordination with the U.S. Army, have begun striking strategic targets in Iran. We are operating at a high level of readiness, both defensively and offensively.
We are now facing a major, decisive, and unprecedented operation aimed at dismantling the capabilities of the Iranian regime of terror—capabilities that pose a continuing existential threat to the security of the State of Israel. It is an operation to secure our existence and future here in the land of our ancestors for generations to come.
Last June, we completed Operation Rising Lion, in which we disrupted and delayed the nuclear program, struck the ballistic missile system, and undermined the plan conceived and executed by the Iranian regime and its regional partners to destroy the State of Israel. Operation Rising Lion demonstrated the vulnerability of this regime.“ We broke its internal stability and, for the first time, established historic cooperation with the U.S. military during Operation Midnight Hammer, in which U.S. aircraft delivered a powerful blow to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Since then, we have continued to monitor developments in Iran. Despite the significant damage, the radical Iranian regime has not abandoned its vision or hostile intentions to advance its plan to destroy Israel. It has continued to promote its nuclear program, resumed and accelerated the production of ballistic missiles, and destabilized the region by funding and arming terrorist proxies.
In recent months, under political leadership—in coordination with my colleagues, the President of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander of CENTCOM—I have led a profound and comprehensive joint operational planning process. This reflects unprecedented cooperation between the Israel Defense Forces and the U.S. military.
The Israel Defense Forces are prepared and on high alert for a wide range of scenarios. Right now, Israeli Air Force pilots are striking hundreds of targets across Iran, at great personal risk and in coordination with US attacks. Air defense systems and the navy are being deployed to defend Israel’s skies and coastline against missile barrages and threats from the air and sea. Our ground forces are positioned along the borders to thwart and repel any attempt to enter Israeli territory. Forces of the Internal Front Command, along with the Israeli police and emergency medical services, are ready to protect and save civilian lives.
As we all know, there is no such thing as a hermetic defense. We must not underestimate the enemy’s ability to harm us. We face difficult trials in the coming period.
We surpass our adversaries with courage, the determination of our fighters, and the justice of our cause. Our resilience is our strength. Time and again, our enemies learn that the resilience of the Israeli Internal Front cannot be broken. We share a common destiny.
We will stand together like a fortified wall against every challenge, with confidence in the strength of Israel.
Citizens of Israel—my brothers and sisters—I call upon you to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command. Strict adherence to these instructions will save lives.
In recent weeks, I have met with our forces on the front lines and on the home front. I have closely examined their readiness and availability—soldiers, intelligence personnel, logistics units, headquarters, and operations centers—all working under strict secrecy.
I’m bored by today’s rumors about the elimination of Iran’s Khamenei. Firstly, because he’s either dead or, if he resurfaces, would be hunted by Mossad. Secondly, because in reality, Iran is being run by entirely different figures, who are ordering terror against the civilian population. What we’re dealing with here is the spread of a rumor, in the hope that the regime will make further mistakes in its communication and the movement of certain individuals. I wish Israel and the US every success, but the claim that the war will only last a few days is deceitful and unrealistic. The war is also a psychological boost for the vast majority of the Iranian population to shake off the mullah regime once and for all and to continue taking to the streets to prepare for the return of Reza Palavi as the new leader. Only freedom and security from the root of Shiite global terrorism, and a free Iran, can guarantee this. Incidentally, this would also strategically put a stop to any renewed Russian influence and the new Silk Road project being pursued by China.
As I said!
Wow! Charlie Kirk really nailed it when this woman tried to defend Islam. We miss him.
WOMAN: I’m worried about Islamophobia!
KIRK: Are you Muslim?
WOMAN: Yes.
KIRK: What’s the best model for a Muslim country? Do you enjoy not having to cover yourself in public?
WOMAN: Yes, I suppose so.
KIRK: So you don’t particularly like Islam? Because in most Islamic countries, you’d have to completely cover yourself in public.
WOMAN: That’s not fair.
KIRK: As a woman, you couldn’t possibly dress like that on the streets of Riyadh. It’s far too provocative, far too much skin. As a woman, you don’t have freedom of speech, you can’t run for public office, you can’t own property.
„Islam contradicts Western values, it is incompatible with Western values, and we in the West believe that you should have the rights you have now, to speak, to show your skin and to live a happy life!“
The worst thing that can happen to you are three things:
The constant surveillance of free speech by government agencies, European institutions, and corporations.
When Western representatives systematically delegitimize, prevent, and criminalize the undermining of free speech, then they are not my representatives, but rather representatives of an Orwellian campaign that seeks to disenfranchise and silence citizens, thereby rendering our democracy absurd.
(Marcus Günther, Michael Gundlach)
It is significant that it is not kosher to form a fixed image of one’s fellow human beings. The Hebrew word for image is Tzelem, which has the same numerical value as Amalek. Samael, the angel of death and leader of evil powers, also has the same numerical value as Amalek. This value corresponds to the number 240. Amalek is a symbol of evil and represents the pursuit of ruin. The people of Israel are therefore called upon to resist his wickedness. Now Purim is approaching, a day to commemorate and celebrate the victory over Haman. If we dedicate ourselves to the service of Hashem throughout our lives, then we are servants who keep all 613 commandments and take them seriously—in our daily lives. We must never grow weary in our striving to fulfill a mitzvah. „Growing weary“ is the Hebrew word Kiyor, which has the same numerical value as „servant“ and „mitzvah.“ It is up to each of us to decide whom we wish to serve.
We were expelled from Spain.
We were murdered in Poland.
Hanged in Iran.
Forgotten in Germany.
And yet we survived.
We learned. We remembered.
In 1948, the world watched as nearly a million Jews were expelled or forced to flee Arab countries.
Their homes, businesses, and synagogues were confiscated or burned.
There were no refugee camps, no UN organizations, no global calls for justice.
No „right of return“ for Jews in Baghdad, Aleppo, or Tripoli.
They say we are tribal.
But we tried to fit in.
We changed our names.
We straightened our hair.
We abandoned our faith.
But every time we wanted to disappear, you reminded us who we were.
So we turned to ourselves.
We supported each other.
We built synagogues when your places of worship excluded us.
We built hospitals when we weren’t welcome in yours.
We founded organizations to defend ourselves when no one else would.
And when no country wanted us, we built our own.
Then came October 7, 2023.
You say you hate Israel because of its policies.
But on October 7, 2023, Hamas didn’t attack soldiers.
It didn’t storm checkpoints or military bases.
It raped women.
Beheaded babies.
Burned living families.
Slaughtered civilians in their homes, bombed accommodations, and murdered young people at a music festival.
This was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
And while our dead weren’t even buried, the world didn’t mourn us—it turned against us.
Students waved „Glory to the Martyrs“ signs.
Demonstrators shook swastikas in Sydney.
„Gas the Jews“ was scrawled on walls in Berlin.
Jewish students were locked in libraries in New York.
MIT students were prevented from attending classes.
At Harvard, they were told to remove their Stars of David for their safety.
While our hostages were still bleeding in tunnels.
So no—it’s not about borders.
You hated us before 1948.
Before the State of Israel existed.
Before a single border was drawn.
What you hate is that the Jew has power today.
A flag.
An army.
A government.
A home.
You preferred to make us weak. Strays. Beggars. Dependent on your pity or your permission to exist.
Israel is not a gift.
This is a necessity.
We didn’t colonize this land—we returned.
Jews have lived in Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberias for over 3,000 years.
For centuries, we prayed toward Zion.
We spoke Hebrew while the world told us to forget.
We made the desert bloom.
We drained swamps, planted forests, and revived a lost language.
We welcomed Holocaust survivors, Russian dissidents, and Ethiopian Jews fleeing famine.
We built a nation surrounded by enemies, boycotted by the world, haunted by the shadow of Auschwitz.
Israel wasn’t created because of the Holocaust, but in spite of 2,000 years of exile, genocide, and betrayal—and it is the only insurance against the next one.
„Never again“ is not a slogan.
This is the Iron Dome. This is the F-35.
The 18-year-old in khaki uniform is on guard duty so Sderot’s children can sleep.
Why this double standard?
When Russia invaded Ukraine, the world was outraged.
Blue and yellow flags everywhere.
Weapons, aid, solidarity—rightfully so.
But when Hamas burned Israeli children alive, we were told to „de-escalate.“
When we defend our cities, you call us monsters.
When we bury our dead, you protest our grief.
Why?
Peace is possible. We have proven it.
They say Jews are strangers in the Middle East.
But the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan say otherwise.
The Abraham Accords have shown that peace is not only possible—it is real.
Israel is sending aid to Syrian earthquake victims.
Arab doctors and members of parliament sit in the Israeli Knesset.
We seek coexistence.
You call out: „From the river to the sea.“
We choose life.
You call for death.
Yes – Israel is strong today. Baruch HaShem.
For a Jew without power is a dead Jew.
And history has taught us: No king, no pope, no president will save us.
We do not want to dominate.
We simply want to live.
Free. Proud. Without apologizing.
You don’t have to like us.
You don’t have to agree.
But you will never again decide whether we have the right to exist.
Am Israel 🇮🇱 Chai ❤️
Die Torah ist schon immer von jüdischen Menschen, als G-ttesoffenbahrung, ernst genommen worden. Gerade in unseren Zeiten hat dies deutlich zugenommen – auch von Nicht-Juden. Die Verlebendigung aller 613 Gebote ist dabei nicht nur zentral, sondern auch unumgänglich. Warum habe ich in diesem Beitrag differenziert, zwischen Weisung für ein g-ttgemäßes Leben, dass Hashem zu einem Lächeln bringt und der Torah als Gesetz?!! Im Wochenabschnitt Mishpatim werden zum Beispiel Rechtssatzungen – oder auch Vorschriften genannt – am Shabbat öffentlich gelesen. Dies ist kein Vorgang der Unterhaltung, sondern die Belehrung und Erinnerung dass diesen Geltung verschafft werden muss. Daher der Name Mishpatim. Diese sind der Vernunft einfach zugänglich. Es werden Vorschriften über hebräische Knechte, Vorschriften über Körperverletzung, Vorschriften über Diebstahl, weitere Vorschriften über die Verführung einer Jungfrau und die Pflicht mit Brautgeld an den Vater auszustatten und zu heiraten, Zauberei, Sodomie, dem Dienen anderer Götter, der Kränkung eines Fremden, dem Umgang mit Witwen und Waisen, Geldverleih, Vorschriften zur Erstlingsfrucht, Vorschriften zur Gerechtigkeit, Vorschriften zum Shabbat-Jahr und Shabbat, Vorschriften zu den Festen und Vorschriften zum Gelobten Land aufgeführt und behandelt. Bei Mishpatim handelt es sich also um eine ganze Bandbreite verschiedener Gesetze, die in eine gerechte Rechtsprechung münden müssen. Dies ist der entscheidende Punkt; die Überführung der Gesetze in den Umgang einer gerechteren jüdischen Gesellschaft – oder in der Diaspora eben das soziale Gefüge einer Gemeinde. Wichtig ist, dass die Torah sehr behutsam, erst erzählerisch nahegebracht wird. Und wichtig ist auch, dass diese Gesetze deshalb nicht einfach erlassen werden. Didaktisch sehr wertvoll ist, dass die Parasha gerade mit den Vorschriften über die Knechtschaft beginnt. Bedenken wir, dass dem Jüdischen Volk erst gerade befreit wurde und in der Wüste, am Fuße des Berg Sinai steht. Man könnte meinen, dass es gerade Wichtigeres für es gibt, als Knechtschaft, die jemand aus Not eingehen muss. Gerade das ist der Anknüpfpunkt. Der Text der Torah macht von Vorne herein deutlich, dass Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse deshalb nicht Vergangenheit sind. Wirtschaftliche Notsituationen sind Realität. Eines aber hat sich geändert: Die Knechtschaft ist ein wirtschaftlicher Faktor und deshalb immer wieder begrenzt. Knechtschaft ist keine Unterdrückung mehr. Auch keine Unterwerfung unter ein Regime das Selbstaufgabe erzwingt. Der israelische Knecht bleibt ein Israelit und ist deshalb auf die Freiheit hin ausgerichtet. Raschi sagt deshalb, dass spätestens mit dem Yoveljahr selbst der befreit wird, der der gar nicht frei sein will. Es ist wichtig zu erkennen, dass diese Gesetze über den eigenen, beschränkten, kurzfristigen Interessen stehen und somit zentraler Ausgangspunkt für unsere eigenen Entscheidungen.
Shavua Tov!
Ich bin von Facebook sehr überascht!:
Haben die mir nicht allen Ernstes Alice Weidel, die rechtspopulistische Lesbe der AfD, angeboten, um ihr zu folgen.
Absurder geht es nicht!
Wer denen, die Neo-Nazis ein Dach über dem Kopf bieten wollen, und ihre Gesinnung in deutsche Politik einbringen, eine Möglichkeit bietet, diese zu verbreiten, hat ein sehr ernstes Problem – ich nicht.
Im übrigen versucht Facebook momentan die Veröffentlichung dieses Beitrages zu verhindern.
Wer Faschisten und anderen Gefährdern der Demokratie in Deutschland verhilft ihre Weltbilder und Ideologien zu verbreiten und andererseits völlig anti-demokratisch Beiträge wie diesen zu unterbinden, darf sich nicht wundern wenn es für ‚euch‘ Ärger gibt. Auch Facebook unterliegt rechtlichen Standards, die nicht auf die USA begrenzt sind.

„What exactly is a #Zionist?
A Zionist is anyone, Jew or non-Jew, who considers the restoration of a Jewish state legitimate, having recognized the Jewish situation as one of oppression. The aim is to end this oppression so that Jews, like any other people, can regain their essence as free human beings. Or, put another way: anyone who welcomes the liberation of the Jew as a Jew.
Of course, no one is forced to be a Zionist. A non-Jew may consider something else more important or see it as contradictory. A Jew may think there is no obligation to feel a sense of belonging to one’s people, even if their people are in danger. Some may wish not to be Jewish and are slowly preparing for the assimilation of their children. Some may even care little for freedom itself, content in a state of semi-servitude, and only confront threats when they arise. Ultimately, it depends on what one can bear.
My readers already know that I never I have utterly condemned it. I don’t believe that nations are eternal, and the Jewish people may one day disappear. For me, belonging to a people doesn’t signify some mythical bond. And everyone’s freedom of choice is important to me, even if it often proves illusory.
But if someone believes, as I do, that it is important for the oppressed to regain control over their lives, if someone believes that this person must first recognize what they are and what their precise place is among humanity, and believes that, based on this recognition, they must then change their circumstances, then, as far as Jews are concerned, this person is a Zionist.
Of course, by being this way, one doesn’t abandon the great contemporary ideals of social justice and the equality of all people; on the contrary, one reinforces them.
However, by being this way, one doesn’t abandon the great contemporary ideals of social justice and the equality of all people; no, rather, one reinforces them. – Albert Memmi, Tunisian-Jewish left-wing Zionist, 1975.

Zionism is Jewish Self-Defense ⚠️
„There are people who never tire of saying that we should open our doors, immediately return all territories occupied since the 1967 war, or even those occupied since 1947, and simply stop believing in Arab enmity. These people either don’t have much to lose by following their advice, or they are simply fools. Because it is a fact that many Arabs around the world, many of their leaders, are practically obsessed with Israel’s existence and quite seriously wish that Israel would be wiped off the map. Off the map they consider the foundation of a united, Greater Arab nation.
Many Arabs, however politically sincere they may be, have not grasped the significance and necessity of Zionism, i.e., a Jewish nation, as a fact. The same mistake that many people on the political left around the world make. If those Arabs and those leftists had…“ If they understood that Zionism is the expression of an entire people, the same expression that speaks from their own young nations, they would not talk such nonsense and would not stoke the hope of burning Israel to the ground. One cannot destroy the intentions of an entire people without striking at its very core.
I realize that this unambiguous aggression, this new Final Solution, would appeal to some. Others, however much they may consider themselves less radical and less hostile, argue in the same absurd way. They say: Israel exists, fine. But it should cease to be Zionist. This shows that they have understood the meaning of Zionism no more than the others. For if one wants to separate the Jewish Diaspora from Israel, one deprives Israel of all meaning. For Israel was created by and for the Jews in the Diaspora.
