We pause to reflect on the lives of the beautiful six Israeli hostages, who were executed in cold blood by genocidal Hamas terrorists after 330 days in captivity in the tunnels underneath Rafah, Gaza.
We remember them as they lived, not for how they died. And we remember the failure of the international institutions and community to uphold international law and to protect them.
May the memory of Carmel Gat (40), Eden Yerushalmi (24), Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23), Alexander Lobanov (32), Almog Sarusi (27), and Ori Danino (25) forever be for a blessing.

“I’m the vice mayor of a city, and I’m an elected official. I represent all sorts of people,” he told JNS. “I don’t want to be involved in a group that is being led by someone who’s saying antisemitic things.” @JNS_org#Rotary International needs to wake up—and Irvine Vice Mayor James Mai’s resignation proves that this concern is no longer hypothetical.
I lived in Irvine for 20 years. My family is there, and I know firsthand how organized political networks operate behind the pleasant language of “community engagement.”
@CAIRCalifornia@HussamA@mpac_national
Years ago, a senior #CAIR-California leader told me directly: drop your support for Israel and they would help me win; refuse, and they would put a candidate against me. I refused. Farrah Khan became that candidate. That is my personal account, and I stand by it.
She later rose to become mayor of #Irvine, backed by powerful Democratic interests and endorsed by institutions that apparently never thought serious vetting was necessary. Teachers, police, firefighters and even Jewish community leaders supported her. Perhaps everyone was too busy checking boxes to check the record.
Then came the effort to establish a relationship between #Irvine and #Gaza. Because apparently Irvine—with its excellent schools, thriving businesses and large Chinese, Korean and other immigrant communities—was secretly waiting to become Gaza-by-the-Pacific. I am sure families moved to Irvine for the schools, safety and opportunity, not for imported Middle Eastern political theater.
Now Farrah Khan has been installed as president of the Rotary Club of Orange County L.A. Irvine Vice Mayor James Mai, who had served in the club for approximately five years and held a leadership role in its fundraising foundation, resigned from both after Rotary proceeded with her installation despite objections raised by him and several Jewish organizations. Mai said he did not want to remain in an organization led by someone whose comments he regarded as antisemitic. (Israel & Jewish News - JNS)
The Jewish Community Action Network, Israeli-American Council and Jewish Federation of Orange County had reportedly urged the club not to install Khan, citing inflammatory social-media posts. Mai asked Rotary leadership to reconsider, but Khan was nevertheless sworn in. (Israel & Jewish News - JNS)
That should alarm every #Rotarian.
Rotary was built upon service, peace, fellowship and ethical leadership—not ideological capture, antisemitic rhetoric or partisan activism disguised as humanitarianism. “Service Above Self” must not become “Politics Above Scrutiny.”
@JNS_org@City_of_Irvine
And regarding the variations Farrah Khan, Farrah N. Khan or misspellings such as “Kahn”: those alone do not prove secret aliases. The serious questions concern political affiliations, organizational support, public statements and why prominent institutions repeatedly fail to conduct meaningful due diligence.
Vice Mayor Mai had the courage to walk away. Rotary International must now decide whether it still has the courage to examine what is happening inside its own organization.
When respected civic institutions ignore warning signs, ideological movements do not need to break down the door. They are handed the keys—and usually invited to give the keynote address.
Is the #Rotary International becoming the next target of the Democratic socialist alliance in other words, Muslim brotherhood?

I spent over $10,000 on Seedance 2.0 in the past few weeks...
i decided to create a guide with EVERYTHING i know about this model:

Seedance 2.0 clone is the wrong way!
Big studios like Disney aren’t fighting AI.
They’re fighting simple copycats.
What creators really want is their own fresh stories referenced on the viral structure of blockbusters, not simply clones.
Buzzy is built for this.
It learns the essence of viral videos then recreates them 10x more engaging.
Not just clone, outshine it with better creativity!

With help from the @FBI, Colombian police detained the son of one of the most sought-after Hezbollah operatives, Amer Mohamed Akil Rada, who is accused of being involved in the deadly 1994 AMIA Jewish community center attack in Buenos Aires.
According to the @USTreasury, Amer's son, Mahdy Akil Helbawi, conducts illegal business in Colombia on his father‘s behalf.
We thank the authorities for their efforts in bringing the perpetrators to justice 30 years after the attack.
