“Never Forget” has to mean more than remembering the date.
But also - never forget why it happened.
We do no honor to the dead by remembering their deaths while becoming too uncomfortable to remember the hatred that killed them. A hatred that wants to kill or convert every single one of us.
I grew up with kids who were missing fathers and uncles. We all knew which family friends came home covered in ash. One of my neighbors came home late that night, but she never really seemed to come home.
Remember the Americans who fought until the end, who stormed the cockpits, the first responders who ran through the tunnels on their days off, the firefighters who climbed while everyone else descended.
Remember the Americans who had to choose between burning to death or jumping to it. Remember the Americans who searched through the toxic rubble and who rebuilt the city out of the ashes.
Our responsibility is not merely to remember them.
It is to be worthy of them.
Worthy of being Americans. Worthy of being New Yorkers. Worthy of the people who climbed those stairs and the people who never came home.
Remember what happened. Remember why.
That is what it means to Never Forget.
Palestine does not leave the minds of those who, in one way or another, have not come to terms with the existence of a strong and prosperous Israel. The term “Palestine” is exploited to have some argument against the Jewish people, and despite its absurdity, the world community has picked it up like a virus and believed in this mythical and airy castle, completely ignoring the fact that it is built on blood.
We have witnessed the hypocrisy of people who justify Hamas’s methods and dehumanize its victims to suit their worldview, in which the State of Israel should not exist. It is strange that the masses afflicted with this disease do not realize one thing: Hamas does not believe in them, but only uses them for its own purposes and, if it wins, will surely get rid of its followers in the most brutal way possible.
If "Palestinians" were a genuine and honest society they would have admitted a strategy failure and gradually created the necessary change instead of dragging the world into the mess they have been creating.
Even the animals would do everything in their power to protect their whelps. But "Palestinians" put their own children in the ways of harm and sacrifice them for propaganda.
"Palestinians" kill Jewish children in the morning for revenge, and in the afternoon they kill their own children for political and financial gain.
”When Hamas attacked Israel, people went out to celebrate. When Israel started attacking Gaza, the entire Arab and Muslim communities went out on the streets everywhere to say "We need a ceasefire." I immediately thought, ”Why do you care about Arabs getting killed now? When you were completely silent and did not say a single word when hundreds of thousands of Yemenis were getting killed?"
The main reason is the perpetrators being Jewish. Because in the Arab and Muslim world, there is absolutely nothing more disgusting than to be Jewish or homosexual. The only thing I ever learned about Jews and Israelis is to hate them.
In mosques, I heard that Jews and Israelis need to be murdered. This is the consensus recitation by the Imams. We normalize the language of hatred and violence towards Jews and Israelis. I remember as a child questioning this and thinking to myself, ”But why?”
So, I wanted to come here and listen to the Jews and the people. It is such a beautiful country, and the people are so kind and loving.
As I see it, the reason for this Arabic hypocrisy of silence when Arabs are killed by other Arabs, and loud revolutions when Gaza is attacked, is anti-semitism.
A hatred towards Jews that we learn since birth.
Blame the Jews. Blame the others – and direct your anger and resentment towards the Jews and the Westerners, instead of looking internally and trying to better yourselves."
Dear Muslims,
The world is scared of us. The world is laughing at us. The world is worried about us. And there are legitimate reasons for their worry that we cannot keep denying.
It is time for us to flush the word ”Islamophobia” down the toilet and start looking in the mirror and ask ourselves:
How did we get here?
How come the largest and most thriving terrorist organizations in the world are Muslim?
How come terrorists successfully use Islam to mobilize thousands of Muslims?
What is the problem with our leaders, our Imams, and our religion?
Why do we keep repeating these stone-age traditions that have failed us and continue to fail us?
The world has left us behind.
The ”kuffar” that Imams tell us to hate have traveled to the future while we are still stuck in the Middle Ages reading stories about Mohammed and his flying horse.
You are reading this with your phone, tablet, or computer, which was created by the ”kuffar.”
The same ”kuffar” that we hate so much have created medicine that cures diseases. Medicine that our religion’s crystal balls failed to bring about.
The ”kuffar” have moved forward and traveled to space. Meanwhile, we are stuck on Earth in the Middle Ages, going to our poisonous mosques every Friday, reciting the same chapters and the same stories of Mohammed.
Why haven’t all of these books and teachings led to any scientific, technological, or medical advancements?
1,400 years of us, stuck, debating: ”Which is the correct sect?” ”What is the correct interpretation?” ”Who is a real Muslim? And who is a kaffer?” ”How can we convince people to become Muslims?”
Why on Earth would anyone want to become Muslim today?
They are all scared of us.
They are all laughing at us.
They are all worried about us.
Delete Israel and the West from the world, and we would still be as ignorant as we are. We would still be stabbing each other.
Stop blaming them – and look at yourselves instead. The enemy is not out there. The enemy is within.
Zaki Masoud is a physician at NYU Langone Winthrop Hospital.
On October 7th, after Hamas terrorists murdered 1300+ people in Israel, raped young women, beheaded babies, and burned the elderly alive, Dr. Masoud took to Instagram and labeled this massacre a "liberation. Resistance. Revolution".
Jewish patients, specifically Israeli ones, must be kept away from this man @nyulangone
