Today and tomorrow mark the 85th anniversary of the massacre in Babi Yar.

While many are familiar with the horrors that took place in Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen Belsen, Dachau, and other more Western European cities where Germany and their assistants carried out the horrors of the Holocaust, not too many know about the Holocaust by bullets that took place in Eastern Europe.

On September 28 th 1941 Germans and their local Ukrainian collaborators posted notes throughout Kyiv and the surrounding area demanding that Jews show up with all of their belongings in the area of Babi Yar outside Kyiv.

The following day, on the eve of Yom Kippur, tens of thousands of Jews were marched to Babi Yar.

Over September 29–30, 33,771 Jews were murdered in cold blood by German forces, assisted by local Ukrainian collaborators.

One of the senior German commanders, Commander of Einzetzgroupen C, was known as "Dr. Dr. Otto Rasch"because of the double doctorate he had in law, political economy and philosophy from the University of Leipzig.

Academia has yet to reckon with its role and complicity in the horrors of the Holocaust, a failure to learn that is reflecting in the proliferation of anti-semitism on campus today.

There is so much to see in this picture, yet to me the ultimate act of betrayal is seen in the soldier seeming to reassure the woman who does not even have shoes on, knowing full well what he is about to inflict on her and our people.

We will never forget 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

BREAKING: CNN's fact-checker exposes an AVALANCHE OF LIES from Trump about Canada — and there's a new one almost every day.

Donald Trump doesn't just have policy disagreements with Canada. According to CNN's chief fact-checker Daniel Dale, who happens to be Canadian himself, Trump has built his entire trade war narrative on a foundation of demonstrably false claims — and the lies keep coming.

Just today, Dale documented, Trump falsely claimed Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising." The actual number: 6.4%, and it's been DECLINING for three straight months. Trump also falsely claimed Canada does "95% of its business with the US." The real figure is 72%.

He blamed the entire US-Canada trade deficit on high Canadian agricultural tariffs, despite the fact that roughly 97% of US agricultural exports to Canada are already tariff-free, and the actual deficit stems overwhelmingly from cheap Canadian crude oil imports that benefit American consumers.

And that's just today's batch. Dale's running tally over the past 18 months reads like a highlight reel of fabrication.

Trump has falsely claimed Canada doesn't buy American agricultural products, when it's actually the world's SECOND-LARGEST buyer of them. He's falsely claimed Canadians support becoming America's 51st state, when polling shows overwhelming opposition.

He's falsely claimed Canada is among the world's highest-tariff nations, when World Trade Organization rankings place it near the bottom. He's falsely claimed Canada "essentially doesn't have a military," ignoring that Canadian forces have fought alongside American troops in multiple wars and rank in the upper half of NATO by force size.

He's also falsely inflated the US trade deficit with Canada to "$200 billion" (nowhere close), falsely claimed Canada bans American banks (more than a dozen currently operate there), falsely claimed Canada is "constantly surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships (fiction), and falsely accused former PM Trudeau of using trade tensions to run for reelection — despite Trudeau, quite obviously, not running.

This isn't policy disagreement. This is a dispute over the nature of reality!

This is a sitting president manufacturing an entire economic conflict with one of America's closest allies using numbers he simply invented, over and over, across nearly two years, with virtually no correction or accountability.

When the facts don't support your trade war, apparently the solution is just to make up new facts. Someone needs to tell Trump that the world doesn’t work like that, and it may as well be CNN’s Daniel Dale.

Please like and share if you’re sick of Trump’s lies!

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Bill Clinton On the Palestinians:

“And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem.

I can hardly talk about this…. And they would have equal access all day every day to the security towers that Israel maintained all through the West Bank up to the Golan Heights.

All this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and 2 of the 4 quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his cabinet. And they said no.

And I think part of it is that Hamas did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. They wanted to kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable.

Well, I got news for them, they were there first before there was their faith existed.

They were there. In the time of King David, in the southern most tribes, Hadjardia and Samaria.”

A cautionary tale of biblical proportions #AmYisraelChai 🚨

[𝒟𝒶𝓅𝒽𝓎™ 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 @DaphneKMorrow]

The Book of Genesis, chapters 34 involves the tribe of Jacob (Israel) and the inhabitants of Shechem:

Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, was defiled by Shechem, the son of Hamor, the Hivite prince of the land.

Hamor proposed that Dinah marry Shechem, suggesting a covenant between their peoples, which would involve intermarriage and shared land.

Jacob's sons, particularly Simeon and Levi, pretended to agree but set a condition: all the men of Shechem must be circumcised, as the Israelites could not give their sister to an uncircumcised man.

The men of Shechem agreed to this condition, hoping for alliance and intermarriage, and they all underwent circumcision.

On the third day, when the men of Shechem were still in pain from the circumcision, Simeon and Levi attacked the city, killed all the males, including Shechem and Hamor, and took Dinah back. They also plundered the city because of the disgrace brought upon their sister.

Federal Court finds that Rebel Media is not a "qualified Canadian journalism organization” - it doesn't produce original content & plays "activist" role raising money for their legal fund.
