Memory is powerful - we must deploy it in the battle against terrorism.

The lesson from this week’s Torah portion is poignant as we remember those lost in horrific terrorist attacks, like the AMIA bombing of 1994.

When those responsible for the bombing, now lead the murderous IRGC - the call for justice must be louder than ever.

Shabbat shalom 🕯️🕯️

Today marks 82 years since D-Day, the day on which over 160,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France as part of “Operation Overlord” to fight the Nazis. This played a major role in ending World War II.
There were over 10,000 casualties, with 4,414 Allied soldiers confirmed dead.
May their memories forever be a blessing.

Armand Abel on Islam’s jihadist prophet & the jizya, 1970: “Finding a pretext—a demand for blood money, an invitation to convert—to attack or besiege those concerned because of their refusal or resistance, to defeat them then to plunder them…make them serfs” or expel them https://t.co/716XRibW7w

When you stand against Israel, you drift away from standing for America.

I am not saying this because the Mossad pays me. I am not saying it because I began as a supporter of Israel and then bent my other positions to fit. I had no such loyalty.

I arrived at this conclusion the way you arrive at a wall in the dark, by walking straight into it.

I am an apostate from the Middle East. I left Islam and still managed to live in the region for fifteen years afterward, under threat, yes, but quiet enough to survive.

Leaving Islam is a death-level offense there.

I moved to the United States a couple of months before October 7. I had no plan to stand publicly with Israel. None.

Because in the world I come from, standing with Israel is not merely a sin, it is the sin above all sins, heavier even than apostasy.

A man can leave Islam in secret. Standing with the Jews is open treason against the whole order.

My plan was to build a platform, comment on Islam, use the freedom of speech I could never touch back home. That was all.

Then October 7 happened, and I understood that the monster I had fled was already here. It had crossed into the West ahead of me.

The same force that erased the Christian civilizations of the Middle East, that strangled and stagnated the region for fourteen centuries packaged itself inside a product the West was already eager to buy.

Anti-Zionism is easy to sell, and so people are buying the thing that will dismantle their own civilization while believing they are buying a popular cause.

They think the box says “anti-Zionism.” They do not know what is inside it.

You can't be anti-Zionist today without serving the cause of Islam, because Islam is what is inside the box.

And you can't serve the cause of Islam without working against America, because America is the next civilization on the list.

Against Israel, for Islam, against America, it is one line.

When a group of people learn thousands of stories like the one below, and hold this man up as their model, their moral ceiling, the result is 1,400 years of destruction.

Unless Muhammad is desanctified within Islam, Islam will remain a problem for humanity. And the idiots who want to whitewash this religion are your enemies, and the enemies of your civilization.

After the Battle of Hunayn, Muhammad led his troops to hunt down a group of people in a region called Awtas.

There the Muslims captured men and women, and they distributed the women among themselves, in front of their husbands.

However, at the time it was not allowed for men to lie down with married women, because the Quran said: "And [forbidden are] married women."

So Muhammad's companions complained to him that the majority of the women they captured were married and they couldn't sleep with them.

So Allah revealed a modification to the Quranic verse on the spot "And [forbidden are] married women, except those your right hands possess" and permitted Muslims to lie down with the captured married women.

Saudi Arabia destroyed the Middle East with its billions, funding the Islamic Awakening and erasing the brief progress the region made under the British and French mandates, and today Qatar is doing the same to Europe and the US.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

This week, Qatar announced its new partnership with three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs): Hampton University in Virginia, Xavier University of Louisiana, and Prairie View A&M University in Texas.

The fommunists used Black Americans against the West for decades, and now the same group is being weaponized against Israel by Islamic jihad.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

With great sadness, we received information of the passing of Masza Rosenroth, an Auschwitz Survivor.

Masza was born on 12 August 1924 in Konstantynów, Poland, to Mordechai and Malka. During the German occupation, her family was transferred to the Litzmannstadt ghetto. From there, in August 1944, Masza was deported to Auschwitz.

After a few days, she was transferred to work in a munitions factory in Bad Kudowa, a subcamp of Gross-Rosen. She was liberated there.

In 1949, Masza emigrated to the United States and settled in Buffalo, N.Y. She found a job as a dressmaker.

[ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry @oneforisrael]

“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? … Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah” (Psa 24:3, 7-10).

David asks two important questions in Psalm 24: “Who can go up?” and “Who is coming in?” To appreciate these questions, we must first see that David describes the world as God’s temple. The use of the verb “to found” in Psalm 24:2 carries strong connotations of temple construction in the Hebrew Bible (see 1 Kings 5:17 [31]; 6:37; 7:10; Isa 44:28; Ezek 41:8; Zech 4:9; 8:9; Psa 78:69; 2 Chr. 3:3; 24:27). David’s description of God’s holy place, that is, the Holy of Holies on a mountain (Psa 24:3), also draws on images of Eden and Mount Sinai.

With this temple imagery as the backdrop, we begin to feel the full force of David’s questions. He first asks, “Who in this world is able to go up to this Sinai-like mountain?” Before we answer too quickly, let us consider his second question. Who is the King of Glory who is about to come through the ancient gates to dwell in His temple? It is the LORD Himself.

Only now does the weight of the question settle in. Who can ascend that cloud-covered, glory-filled, perfectly holy mountain? Only one with “clean hands,” a “pure heart,” and one who always speaks the truth (Psa 24:4). It is no wonder that the people of Israel feared to go up and begged Moses to go up on their behalf (Exod 20:18-21). This psalm leads us to long for a high priest who will not only go up for us, but also make it possible for us to go up, to transform a people called “Jacob” (a name associated with grasping and deception) into a people called “Jeshurun” (a name that evokes uprightness and integrity; see Deut 32:15; 33:5, 26; Isa 44:2). And this priest’s name is Yeshua, for he will “save his people from their sins.”

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Don't condemn Muhammad and his companions for waging wars, raiding caravans, marrying children, owning slaves, degrading women, or engaging in brutal violence.

Raiding rival tribes was standard. Child marriage was practiced. Slavery was the norm. Tribal codes, honor killings, conquest, this was the fabric of life in that time and place.

The real problem isn’t what Muhammad did. The real problem is that what he did was declared sacred.

His every action wasn’t just recorded, it was immortalized, canonized and sanctified.

His tribal conduct wasn’t left in the 7th century, it was elevated as timeless law for the entire world.

He didn’t just live in history, he froze history in place and called it religion.

What should have been contextualized as ancient is now institutionalized as eternal.

What should have been buried with time is now resurrected in legal codes, school curriculums, and acts of terror.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

When Rabbi Moses ben Nachman (Nachmanides / the Ramban) arrived in Jerusalem in 1267, he found ruins — desolation after centuries of foreign conquest.

Instead of despair, he saw something extraordinary. The Land had refused to accept any other people since the Jews were exiled.

He wrote:

“Many are Israel’s forsaken places, and great is the desecration. The more sacred the place, the greater the devastation it has suffered. Jerusalem is the most desolate place of all.”

And then the profound truth:

“Our Land will not accept our enemies ... Since the time that we left it, [the Land] has not accepted any nation or people, and they all try to settle it ... This is a great proof and assurance to us.”

At age 72, after fleeing Christian persecution in Spain, Nachmanides immediately began rebuilding Jewish life. He established the Ramban Synagogue and a yeshiva that drew students once again.

That small but determined effort helped rekindle nearly 700 years of continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem — until the Jordanians destroyed the Jewish Quarter and ethnically cleansed its Jewish residents in 1948.

After the liberation of the Old City in 1967, the Ramban Synagogue was rebuilt on the site of the ruins.

Even in exile and ruin, one of Judaism’s greatest minds understood the eternal reality:

The Land knows its children.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

When I say that the culture of Islam is a culture of lies and corruption, that is not a bigoted generalization. It is a theological reality.

Islam is a fear-based religion, a system designed to turn you into a hypocrite.

Open any page of the Quran at random and you will find allah threatening human beings, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, with hellfire, calamities, and trials if they fail to believe, if they fail to obey.

Muslims can't uphold the inhuman commandments of allah and his prophet, and the weaponization of guilt in Islam burdens them daily.

That is why so many of them turn to jihad since it is the only way to please this bully god.

The outcome of this system is lying and hypocrisy. It is inevitable.

Western civilization, by contrast, is a grace-centered culture.

Its high-trust society is the result of a theological message that showed human beings their depravity yet gifted them acceptance through the cross.

Even the non-Christians of the West are shaped by the same message of grace.

A Somali Muslim wants Lebanon to remain under the control of the ummah, while the Christians of Lebanon pray for the IDF to liberate their country from the eschatological death cult of Hezbollah.

Months after @RomBraslavski's captivity ended, his wounds have still not fully healed. His testimony is a powerful reminder that the trauma of sexual violence does not end when captivity ends. For many survivors, the struggle continues long after they return home.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

“I am Muslim” is analogous with “I am American,” not with “I am Christian.” If you don’t understand this, you will never understand what is actually going on.

“I am Muslim” means I am a citizen of the ummah, the Islamic state that lost its territory to infidel Arab puppet leaders, the Zionists, and the Christians, and that empire must be restored.

“I am Palestinian” means I am Muslim. The term “Palestinian” was invented to mask “Muslim,” because the religious war needed a secular label.

In this framework, saying “I am Palestinian” means “I am Muslim,” and that Jews can't take what is believed to be Allah’s land.

Demanding Sharia law in the West means replacing the constitution of the infidel government and establishing the Islamic constitution, essentially occupying the land or restoring it under the rule of Allah.

Saying, “I am a Muslim and I want Sharia law,” means: I am a citizen of a foreign state, and I want my constitution to replace your constitution.

The UAE banning the Muslim Brotherhood is, in effect, the infidel government of the UAE banning the political activism of a foreign state, Islam, on its territory.

[ASSYRIA TODAY ܐܬܼܘܪ ܝܘܡܢܐ @TodayAssyria]

📜 Assyrian Christian tribesmen of the Tergawar district, Urmia, Persia (present-day Iran), c. 1915–1918.

This photograph captures Assyrian tribesmen during one of the darkest chapters in their nation's history. For thousands of years, Assyrians had lived in Upper Mesopotamia, Hakkari, Urmia, and the Nineveh Plains, preserving their Christian faith, Aramaic language, and ancient heritage despite centuries of foreign rule.

⚔️ During the Ottoman Turkish Genocide of Christians (1914-1914), the Ottoman Empire carried out a systematic campaign against its Christian populations, including Armenians, Assyrians, Maronites and Greeks. Assyrian villages were attacked, churches destroyed, and entire communities subjected to massacres, forced marches, starvation, and displacement. Tens of thousands of Assyrians perished, while survivors were driven from their ancestral lands.

Faced with extermination, Assyrian tribesmen organized to defend their people. They fought not for conquest, but for survival—the protection of their families, faith, villages, and homeland. Against overwhelming odds, they escorted refugees, defended mountain passes, and resisted attacks that threatened the very existence of the Assyrian nation.

🛡️ Among the most prominent Assyrian military and tribal leaders were Agha Petros, Malik Khoshaba, Malik Ismail II, Malik Kambar, Malik Yaqo d'Malik Ismail, Malik Khamoo, Malik Shamizdin, Malik Khiyo, Malik Yonan, Sawa Matloub, and numerous other tribal chiefs from Tyari, Tkhuma, Baz, Jilu, and neighboring Assyrian districts. Their leadership and sacrifice became symbols of Assyrian resistance during the genocide.

🕯️ Although many Assyrian communities were destroyed and countless lives were lost, the Assyrian people survived. Today, more than a century later, the memory of these tribesmen endures as a testament to courage, resilience, and the determination of a people who refused to abandon their faith, identity, and homeland.

This position of ours remain unchanged.

Concurrently, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.”
