🕯️ Esta sinagoga no tiene electricidad. Nunca ha tenido electricidad. Cada viernes por la noche, el personal enciende más de mil velas a mano, y la habitación tiene exactamente como estaba en 1675.
La sinagoga portuguesa en Ámsterdam, conocida como Esnoga, fue construida por la comunidad judía sefardí que había huido de la Inquisición española y portuguesa y encontró refugio en los relativamente tolerantes Países Bajos. Cuando se completó en 1675, fue una de las sinagogas más grandes del mundo, y fue construida por una comunidad de personas que habían pasado generaciones escondiendo quiénes eran, obligadas a practicar su fe en secreto bajo amenaza de muerte.
El suelo de arena que cubre todo el interior es uno de sus rasgos más distintivos, y la razón de ello todavía se debate: algunos historiadores apuntan a la acústica, otros a las tradiciones de construcción holandesas de la época, y otros ven en ella una referencia a la errante del desierto Éxodo. Lo que no se debate es la luz. La decisión de nunca instalar electricidad fue deliberada, y el edificio sigue encendido hoy por 72 lámparas de aceite de latón y más de mil llamas de velas, tal como estaba el día en que se abrió. ✡️
Una comunidad que sobrevivió a la Inquisición escondiéndose construyó una de las sinagogas más magníficas del mundo en el momento en que fueron libres.
@curatorWH Not before "the Jewish people", the Israelites or Hebrews. It was ancestral memory of their own 12 tribes, as everyone should know that modern America and Britain are the old Israel writ large
@JTalon00j@25_mcdc@sahouraxo@ImBreckWorsham It's among the first places Christianity was planted. At the time, much of Syria and the near East was still Caucasian.
It's a woke DEI add-on to pretend 2000 years ago is the same as today, before all the trees were cut down.
@king_webstar@25_mcdc@sahouraxo@ImBreckWorsham The original Joshua was called Hu and went on to conquer Britain after Canaan. This is the foundation of Welsh, long ago.
Jesus of Nazareth visited Cornwall w/ Joseph of Aramithea (his uncle). The tin trade was old between Phoenicia and Britain, hence the Glastonbury church.
Nothing is more embarrassing than to deny the wrongfulness of the Nakba and its attribution to Arab states by the term’s progenitor. There is no humiliation more complete: 1798, 1882, 1918, 1948, 1967, 1973, 2023, one nakba after another and Arab pride teaches the Islamist nothing! A culture that thrives on phantasmagoric backwardation, pricing a future that exists only in its fever dreams, is doomed to have its stops hit by the markets of history. Such is the state of the Islamist today, living on a theological margin that has long been called, his fate long sealed to being scraped on the sidewalks of history as humanity marches forward.
58 years ago, Sirhan Sirhan introduced America to Palestinian culture (He murdered Robert F. Kennedy)
June 6, 1968
Never forget the gifts that Palestine has given America.
Ten years ago today, 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel hy"d was murdered in her Kiryat Arba home by a 17-year-old Arab terrorist.
He was shot and killed by her father and a guard, but it was too late for Hallel.
The attacker's mother praised her son as a martyr defending Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa Mosque, hoping others would follow.
The family receives $350 monthly from the Palestinian martyrs fund.
It didn't start on Oct 7th.
@Average_NY_Guy The Polish army was attacked on 2 sides and much weaker than Nazi Germany & USSR.
France was badly organized and worn from the first world war, so they saved their country from much worse destruction.
Austria is Germany
Maybe Cenk can help clarify something for me. If there are 36,000,000 Arabs living around Israel and 8,000,000 living in Israel but only 7,000,000 Jews live in Israel, why is tiny Israel the problem, the aggressor, the bully, the dominant force? Wouldn't it be the group with tens of millions more? In what world is the little guy the big bad meanie? Who is occupying who? And don't be a fool and pretend the so-called Palestinians only want a state, they want the death of Israel. Believe them when they tell you.

Islam in action: This video from Iran shows exactly what Islam’s Sharia Law produces. A Muslim man ties one of his wives' hands behind her back. She is forced to sit on the sand and quietly weeps in the scorching sun as punishment for not pleasing her owner. After she keeps yelling, he places her in a shed and threatens to lock the cage over her failure to obey him perfectly. She is not his equal. She is his possession.
This is not an exception. It is the rule under Islamic law for women and girls over the age of six. They have no autonomy over their own bodies. They cannot show their hair in public. They cannot sing or dance freely. They cannot choose their own husbands. Instead, they are often sold into marriage as young as nine years old to men old enough to be their fathers—sometimes men who already have one, two, or three other wives.
Under Sharia, a man may marry up to four women at once. He may beat them. He may kill them in the name of “family honor” and face little consequence. Girls are raised knowing their worth is measured only by obedience and silence. Their tears, dreams, and humanity are crushed before they ever have a chance to exist.
The Iranian regime that produces these videos is the same regime that funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad. The mullahs who treat women as livestock are the same men who send rockets at Israeli children and chant for the death of every Jew. The evil is not separate. It is one ideology of domination—over women, over Jews, over the entire free world.
While Israel stands as the only place in the Middle East where women serve as fighter pilots, Supreme Court justices, and prime ministers, the Iranian regime turns half its population into slaves. Israel protects its daughters. Iran chains its daughters and calls it religion. The contrast is not cultural. It is moral.
The radical left in the West stays silent or even defends this barbarism as “diversity.” They march against Israel while ignoring the women being beaten, sold, and murdered across the Islamic world. They have chosen the side of the oppressors. They have lost their souls. https://t.co/tYIG0SSBuc

@NonLinearBrain@LostMyHats If "Muh US" cut off support to Israel then all of the people IN the United States who wish to support Israel will find another way to reach this objective.
You people fetishize the word "United States" and think it's a drop in the ocean or a thumbtack or maybe a pigeon
@Libsjailtime@muhammadshehad2 Moslem wogs are racially inferior and have nothing worth stealing. Palestine was a broken down ruin saved by Jewish immigrants from 3rd world disease and deserts.
