The track fell silent as hope began to fade. Jockey Kosei Miura stayed beside the injured horse, refusing to walk away. Then, in an unforgettable moment, the horse rose to its feet—and the grandstand erupted in applause. 🐎❤️
A moment that reminded everyone what heart and resilience truly look like.

Why won't anyone talk about the displacement of Jaffa's Jews???
In 1936, Palestinians massacred and pogromed the Jews of Jaffa, displacing over 14,000 Jews who fled to Tel Aviv.
Those homes were stolen and never returned.
This comes after the 1921 Jaffa pogroms, in which Palestinians murdered 47 Jews, including famous Hebrew writer Yosef Haim Brenner, and stole their homes.
After stealing the homes of thousands of Jews, those Palestinians attempted to do the same in 1948 and failed.
The Nakba propagandists would like to see a "right of return". Return for whom? For the grandchildren of the Palestinian murderers who stole their Jewish neighbors' homes????

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.
There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.
After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.
During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.
Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.
Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.
The fall of the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, Air 577
The Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem was locked up for the first half of the War of Independence, beginning with the airport in November 1947.
On May 28, 1948, the quarter fell to combined forces of irregular Arabs and the former Jordanian Arab Legion.
His fighters were captured, and the citizens were expelled to the west of the city that remains by israel
With the withdrawal of the British on May 13, 1948, there were about 1,700 souls in the Jewish Quarter on which they protected about 150 fighters, among which 42 were members of the IDF and the NMA.
On May 28, out of one hundred and fifty fighters who were at the beginning of the fighting and 84 reinforcement personnel, only 43 men were not wounded.
Rabbi Ben Zion Mordechai Hazan and Rabbi israel Zeev Minzberg received permission to go out with a white flag to the commander of the legion Abdullah El-Tel to summarize with him on the relief to evacuate the dead and injured. El-Tel responded that he demands a surrender. Due to the difficult situation the district commander decided to surrender.
Moshe Rosenak, the last commander of the Jewish Quarter, signed the letter of surrender of the quarter and its defenders to the Arab Legion. In the two-week-old state of israel and inside the occupied ancient city, several dozens of defenders of the district surrendered and silenced about 1600 citizens, this is after 13 days of almost continuous fighting.
39 fighters and 30 of the neighborhood's civilians were killed in the battles.
The Jordanians did not allow the Jews to take out their dead bodies, and these remained in their temporary tomb in the heart of the quarter until he was released in the Six Day War.
The fighters, including 51 wounded, were taken into custody in the past of Jordan. Because of the heavy losses suffered by the Jordanian Legion - Abdullah El-Tel was ashamed to take so few fighters captive, and therefore took even more than 200 civilians from the residents of the district, and a total of 314 prisoners. They were released after nine months.
Citizens of the neighborhood, elderly, women and children, moved to an abandoned Katamon neighborhood after its Arab residents fled.
"The shortest and grimest revelation in the new history of the Jews began just before sunset. For years, a thousand and seventy hundred residents of the Jewish Quarter went out for the five hundred meter road that separated from Zion and the new city. With their departure came to an end to nearly two thousand years of continuous Jewish settlement - that was stopped only for a period of fifty years in the 14th century - within the ancient walls of Jerusalem. When the refugees passed through Sharazion, the sky flew sparks from the first of their burning buildings. "
[From the book "Jerusalem, Jerusalem", Larry Collins and Dominique La'er]
During the 19 years of the Jordanian occupation most of the Jewish quarter's were demolished and destroyed.
Jerusalem was liberated at the airport of Ayer 5767 The Jewish quarter is being restored and rebuilt.
The amazing @lalshareef explains how Israel removed Jews from Gaza in 2005 to get peace, leaving behind greenhouses worth millions of dollars.
The Palestinians looted the greenhouses, and Gaza was turned into a terror fortress.
This must go viral.
FLASHBACK:
BBC and CNN are now in full panic after Israeli forces captured and interrogated Islamic Jihad spokesperson Tariq Salami.
According to his interrogation, this is how the media game actually worked:
- When rockets hit Gaza hospitals or schools → blame Israel.
- When Hamas fires from inside those same buildings → Israel gets accused of “war crimes” for striking back.
- Every explosion was pre-agreed to be blamed on Israel, even when Islamic Jihad rockets fell short (like the Al-Ma’madani hospital blast).
This wasn’t journalism.
This was coordinated disinformation between terrorist groups and major Western media outlets.
The public was deliberately misled for years.
Demand accountability.
Share this. Don’t let them get away with it.
Im Jahr 1947 bot die UN eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung an. Die jüdische Seite sagte JA. Die arabische Seite sagte NEIN.
Stattdessen überfielen vier vereinte arabische Armeen den jungen Staat Israel. Wer den Frieden ablehnt und Krieg beginnt, kann sich nicht im Nachhinein zum Opfer erklären
In 1942, in Nazi-occupied Tunisia—the only Arab country to suffer direct German occupation—a drunken officer bragged at dinner about the Jewish woman he planned to seize from a forced brothel.
He named her.
Across the table sat Khaled Abdul-Wahab, a 31-year-old wealthy Muslim Tunisian who had studied art and architecture in New York, spoke fluent German, and was trusted by the Nazis. They invited him to their tables. He smiled, poured the wine, finished the meal… then raced through the night.
He pounded on the door of the woman’s family at midnight. “Pack nothing. Come now.” He gathered 25 terrified Jews—mothers, fathers, children, cousins—and drove them nearly 20 miles to his family farm. For four agonizing months, he hid them in the olive press, stables, and storage sheds.
He fed them as supplies ran desperately low. He kept crying babies silent. When German soldiers came to count Jews, the hidden families pinned on their yellow stars, stood motionless, then tore them off the moment the danger passed.
One terrifying night, a drunk soldier stumbled upon them and threatened to kill everyone. An 11-year-old girl, hiding under a bed, watched in horror—until Khaled appeared like a guardian angel.
He calmly disarmed the soldier and sent him away.
No one on that farm died.
In May 1943, the British liberated Tunisia. The 25 returned home alive. Khaled went back to his quiet life—painting, raising daughters, serving his country—and never spoke of it again. Not to his wife. Not to his children.
He died in 1997 at 86. His secret died with him.
A decade later, his daughter Faiza sat in a Paris café reading a newspaper. An American historian was describing a Tunisian Arab who had hidden 25 Jews. He named her father. She was 45 years old and hearing the story for the first time. “I rediscovered my father,” she said.
Khaled was nominated to be the first Arab recognized as Righteous Among the Nations—Israel’s highest honor for those who saved Jews. The committee declined.
Today, those 25 souls have hundreds of descendants living in Israel, France, America, and Tunisia. The little girl under the bed grew up, built a family in Paris. None of them would exist if Khaled had looked away that night.
He had everything to lose. He acted anyway. Then he carried the silence for the rest of his life.
The world almost forgot him twice.
Now you know his name: Khaled Abdul-Wahab.
A true hero. A Muslim who stood against evil when it mattered most.

Keine Fachkraft wandert in ein Land mit der höchsten Steuer- und Abgabenlast ein.
Viele Nicht-Fachkräfte wandern in ein Land mit den höchsten Sozialleistungen (selbst bei abgelehntem Asylantrag) ein.
Das ist doch nicht so schwer zu verstehen.
Einkommenssteuer auf das Geld, das ich verdiene – Steuer #1
Kapitalertragssteuer auf das Geld, das ich anspare – Steuer #2
Grunderwerbssteuer auf die Immobilie, die ich mit dem Ersparten kaufe – Steuer #3
Grundsteuer auf die Immobilie, nachdem ich sie erworben habe – Steuer #4
Versicherungssteuer auf die Wohngebäudeversicherung – Steuer #5
Mehrwertsteuer auf alle Instandhaltungs-, Sanierungs-, Erweiterungsarbeiten – Steuer #6
Energiesteuer, Stromsteuer auf den Betrieb der Immobilie – Steuer #7
Erbschaftssteuer, wenn die Immobilie vererbt wird – Steuer #8
Und da wundert sich jemand, dass es in Deutschland so wenige Immobilienbesitzer gibt?
Die Begründung für die Beteiligung des Vermieters an den Heizkosten des Mieters ist absurd. Will der Mieter über die Heizart mit entscheiden, soll er sich ein Haus kaufen. Solange ich in einer fremden Wohnung lebe, muss ich mit dem leben, was sie bietet.
Miete ist kein Eigentum.
En 1950, el gobierno iraquí aprobó una ley despojando a los judíos de su ciudadanía 🕍
Más de 120,000 judíos dejaron atrás hogares, negocios y una comunidad que había existido en Mesopotamia durante más de 2.600 años, desde el exilio babilónico de 586 a. C.
La Operación Ezra y Nehemías fue el transporte aéreo secreto que los trajo a Israel.
A las familias se les permitió una maleta. Irak congeló las cuentas bancarias. Las propiedades fue confiscada. Abordaron aviones con casi nada, muchos de ellos viendo un avión por primera vez en sus vidas.
No eran refugiados del Holocausto. Eran refugiados de un borrador diferente, uno del que el mundo rara vez habla. Las comunidades judías de Irak, Egipto, Siria, Yemen y Libia fueron desmanteladas casi por completo en una sola generación. 850,000 judíos fueron desplazados de tierras árabes. Su historia merece ser contada. 💛
In April 1948, the Arab leadership of Haifa announced they wanted to evacuate the city.
Not that they were being forced out. Not that they had no choice. They announced it as a decision.
The Jewish mayor broke down in tears and begged them not to go. The British commander told them they were making a serious mistake. The Haganah’s chief officer promised full equality and peace to every Arab who stayed. The answer from the Arab Higher Committee in Beirut was evacuation anyway.
This is one of the most documented moments of 1948. It is also one of the least told.
Before any major military offensive in Haifa, between 25,000 and 30,000 Arabs had already left voluntarily. The fighting hadn’t reached most of their neighborhoods. What had happened was simpler and more damaging: the leadership had left first. British High Commissioner Sir Alan Cunningham documented it in an April 26 telegram, describing the abandonment by Arab municipal officials, military leaders, and the chief Arab magistrate as probably the greatest factor in the collapse of Arab morale in the city. When the people who are supposed to lead a community disappear, the community follows.
On April 22, a meeting was held at city hall to discuss a truce. The terms guaranteed full safety and civil rights to any Arab who stayed. Shabtai Levy, the Jewish mayor, broke down and pleaded personally with the Arab delegates, calling evacuation a cruel crime against their own people. The British commander urged them to reconsider. The Haganah promised equality and peace to anyone who remained.
The Arab Higher Committee in Beirut said go.
What Arab leaders said publicly in the months that followed tells the rest of the story.
The Economist reported in October 1948 that the departure was driven primarily by orders from the Higher Arab Executive, and that Arabs who stayed and accepted Jewish protection were being called renegades by their own leadership. Time magazine reported in May 1948 that the evacuation was partly driven by Arab leaders who hoped withdrawing Arab workers would paralyze the city economically. Emile Ghoury, secretary of the Palestinian Arab Higher Committee, told the Beirut Telegraph in September 1948 that the Arab states had agreed unanimously on the policy that created the refugees and must share in solving the problem. The Jordanian newspaper Falastin wrote in February 1949 that Arab states had encouraged Palestinians to leave temporarily to clear the way for the Arab invasion armies and then failed to help them return. Monsignor George Hakim, the Greek Catholic Bishop of Galilee, told the New York Herald Tribune in June 1949 that the Arabs of Haifa had fled despite the fact that Jewish authorities had guaranteed their safety and rights as citizens.
These aren’t Israeli sources. These are Arab leaders and Arab newspapers, in their own words, from 1948 & 1949.
The word Nakba was coined in August 1948 by a Syrian historian named Constantin Zureiq, a professor at the American University of Beirut. He used it to describe the catastrophic failure of seven Arab armies to defeat the newly declared State of Israel. In his own words, he wrote that seven Arab states declared war on Zionism in Palestine, stopped impotent before it, and then turned on their heels. He described Arab leaders whose declarations fell like bombs from their mouths but whose bombs were hollow and empty, causing no damage and killing no one. Zureiq made no mention of Palestinians as victims. He defined the Nakba as a self-inflicted Arab disaster, a failure of Arab leadership, Arab unity & Arab will.
That is what the word originally meant. A Syrian intellectual criticizing Arab governments for launching a war they were unprepared to win.
Somewhere between 1948 and the 1980s, that meaning was inverted entirely. The word that began as Arab self-criticism became the centerpiece of a narrative in which Arabs were passive victims & Israel was the aggressor

Моя любимая краткая история СССР.
Как только умер Ленин, оказалось, что второй человек в партии, товарищ Троцкий - предатель. Каменев, Зиновьев, Бухарин и Сталин свергли Троцкого и изгнали из СССР.
Но через пару лет оказалось, что Каменев, Зиновьев и Бухарин тоже враги и вредители. Тогда доблестный товарищ Генрих Ягода их расстрелял.
Чуть позже Ягоду, как вражеского агента, расстрелял Ежов.
Но через пару лет оказалось, что и Ежов не товарищ, а обычный предатель и вражеский агент. И Ежова расстрелял Берия.
После смерти Сталина, все поняли, что и Берия тоже предатель. Тогда Жуков сверг и расстрелял Берию.
Но вскоре Хрущев узнал, что Жуков враг и заговорщик. И сослал Жукова на Урал.
А чуть позже вскрылось, что и Сталин-то был врагом, вредителем и предателем. А вместе с ним и большая часть политбюро. Тогда Сталина вынесли из мавзолея, а политбюро и примкнувшего к ним Шепилова разогнали честные партийцы, во главе с Хрущевым.
Прошло несколько лет и выяснилось, что Хрущев был волюнтаристом, проходимцем, авантюристом и врагом. Тогда Брежнев отправил Хрущева на пенсию.
Вскоре Брежнев умер, и выяснилось, что он был маразматиком, вредителем и причиной застоя.
Потом было еще два ��аразматика, который никто и запомнить не успел, потому что дохли, как мухи.
Но тут пришел к власти молодой, энергичный Горбачев. И оказалось, что вся партия была партией вредителей и врагов, но он-то сейчас все исправит...
Тут-то СССР и развалился. А Горбачев оказался врагом и предателем.
