What does it mean to be a Jew?
✡️ 🕎 🔯
It means carrying a memory older than the nations that judge us.
We remember the First Temple burned and exile began.
We remember the Second Temple destroyed by Rome, and a people scattered.
We remember Spain in 1492, when Jews were told to convert, leave, or disappear.
We remember Kristallnacht, when broken glass announced that Europe was ready to smash Jewish life.
We remember the Holocaust, when hatred became industry.
2026, when some demonstrations cross from politics into open hatred of Jews, when slogans become calls to globalize violence, when jihadist fantasies are dressed up as justice, we recognize the pattern.
The empire changes.
The language changes.
The excuse changes.
But the Jew is again asked to apologize for existing.
To be Jewish is not only to survive persecution.
It is to refuse to let persecution define the soul.
It is memory, law, family, faith, language, argument, land, rebuilding, and dignity.
History has burned our temples, shattered our windows, expelled us, hunted us, and tried to erase us.
But we are still here. 👈👈
Not as victims asking permission!!!!!
As a people with a past, a conscience, and a future.
God bless!
Israel has strong LGBT legal protections and social acceptance compared to most of the region. Same-sex activity is legal, foreign same-sex marriages are recognized, anti-discrimination laws apply to sexual orientation and gender identity, openly LGBT people serve in the military, and Tel Aviv holds large Pride events with broad municipal support for same-sex unions.
In Gaza under Hamas, same-sex acts between men remain criminalized under the 1936 British code with up to 10 years in prison. In practice, Hamas enforces severe punishments including arrests, torture, lashings, honor killings, and executions. Transgender people have zero legal recognition or protections and face extreme social and religious persecution with no safe space for expression.
Hamas is violating the ceasefire by regrouping and recruiting instead of disarming, as required.
At the same time, the Trump administration is restricting Israel’s ability to operate in Gaza.
If Hamas carries out another attack, who should take responsibility?
This is Dearborn, Michigan. What you are watching is a show of force/dominance by Islam. It is way past time that we eradicate this evil ideology in its entirety from America.
