Shine on in writing
a climpse of freedom
in our Hearts
The new year will bring back our speech
without fears
Kindly and focused
on Good and G-d
We became
scrambled down
the falling was deep
While we wait at our time
To Love and Write
Touching Souls
uncensored Voices
Never forget our friends
Who died at a wall of lies
and the full ignoration of our Lives
Life, Freedom, Woman
Our Power is not buried
To laugh and sing
Nearly 300 million people lived under German occupation during the Holocaust. Almost everyone saw the Jews disappear and knew what awaited them. Fewer than 29,000 helped them. Not even one in 10,000!
Those who did deserve the title „Righteous Among the Nations,“ awarded by the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem on behalf of the Jewish people. There is no greater honor.
Here is a list of the number of rescuers by country:
Truth is always subjectively colored and varies depending on the source from which we derive it. This is not the case with the Torah—our Torah.
It is G-d’s revelation to the Jewish people, and it is the Jewish people alone who take it seriously. The ethics of the Torah can be understood universally and are the starting point for a world that bases its lives and decisions on values, not opinions.
Furthermore, truth also depends on access to and engagement with sources of Jewish wisdom, because Judaism is not an ideology or a political program.
Truth also depends on our daily, general state of mind—affective-emotional, cognitive, and social. Our state of mind filters and focuses the information that affects us. Conversely, the information available to us affects our consciousness and perception.
The list of factors that create and influence our truth is therefore long. We must always be aware that there are many truths!
I am reminded of the saying, „Two Jews, three opinions.“ What I mean to say is that truth always emerges through dialogue and with consideration for all involved.
Therefore, when in doubt, I always choose peace. For it is peace that never delays. But first, order is needed so that peace can be established.
The first Kohen haGadol, Ahiaron, coined the phrase:
„Seek peace and pursue it.“
We should all take this more to heart.
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 ❤️
🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING NEWS:
„The declaration of a full-scale jihad against Americans and Israelis would be inevitable should the United States or Israel succeed in launching an attack on Sayyid Ali Khamenei or on Iran,“ declared Ayatollah Sheikh Mohsen Araki.
However, such a „jihad“ will never be declared for an old man who plays no legitimate role in Islam but has usurped the title of Imam. He is a figure who has significantly contributed to inciting Muslims against one another. Not only has he deepened the division between Shiites and Sunnis, but he has driven it to the point where Muslims ultimately took up arms against each other.
This man is the greatest enemy of Islam.
It is especially reprehensible when someone claims to be a Muslim while simultaneously killing Muslims.
The Quran states:
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense will be Hell, in which he will abide eternally. Allah will be angry with him and will curse him and prepare for him a great punishment.” (Surah 4, Verse 93)
The US president commented again on the unrest in Iran and reiterated his threat: „If they kill protesters, we will take strong action against them.“ However, he clarified: „That does not mean we will deploy soldiers on the ground.“ In Israel, demonstrations are escalating, manifesting themselves in increasing violence. One indication of this is the Revolutionary Guard’s attempt to suppress the protests. Israel is closely monitoring the situation and is careful not to be drawn into a conflict – preferring to leave the leadership to the US.

The average Iranian lives on a salary of $223 per month.
In contrast, the mullah regime pays Hezbollah terrorists $1,300 per month, Hamas terrorists $400 per month, and Houthi terrorists $300 per month.
Over $16 billion is spent annually on proxy armies, while almost nothing is spent on the Iranian people.
You might be wondering where the mullahs get this money.
The US under Barack Obama transferred a total of $1.7 billion to the mullah regime in January 2016.
Joe Biden surpassed Obama and transferred $16 billion to the mullahs—the amount the mullahs spend on their proxy armies in a year.
And what did the evil Trump do?
He terminated the nuclear deal with the mullahs, thus ending the mullah regime’s appeasement, much to the dismay of the EU.
Furthermore, he killed the head of the Revolutionary Guard, Qasem Soleimani.
And finally, he gave Israel the green light to destroy the mullah regime’s nuclear facilities, something Biden had refused to allow.
