I hope you’ll enjoy my introductory clip as the new Israeli Consul General in Shanghai!

🕯️We Remember

Today at the Consulate General of Israel in Shanghai, we lit candles for the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust.

Theme: “Bridging Memory Across Generations – From Families Lost to Lives Remembered.”

We will not forget. We will never let history repeat

Sometimes a small note tells a big story.

An Israeli fighter pilot of Kurdish descent sent a short message from the cockpit:

“Dear Zakan family
Greetings from Zakho, on the way to Tehran
See you soon ❤️”

Zakho is a historic Kurdish city in Kurdistan – the city from which his family originates.

Between the skies of the Middle East and his Kurdish roots, this small note reflects identity, heritage and mission.

Members of the Kurdish Jewish community are part of every layer of Israeli society – including the skies, serving in the elite units of the Israeli Air Force.

Proud of our community.
Proud of Israel.

Yehuda Ben Yosef
President of the Kurdish Community in Israel
Senior expert on Kurdish politics and Israel–Kurdish relations

[ד״ר עינת וילף Dr. Einat Wilf @EinatWilf]

There is something stomach churning in watching a Jewish person hand over one more pound of flesh, buckling under the pressure to sell out his people as the price of ever temporary “acceptance”.

Like in Kafka’s metamorphosis (a story only a Jew could write) Jews, who grew up to believe that being Jewish is fun, prestigious and easy, woke up one morning to discover they have been transformed in the eyes of their peers into a giant repulsive insect (otherwise known as shrill cries of “you’re genocidal baby killers”).

I understand why Jews who have lost the muscle memory of the Jewish condition buckle under the incentive structure that raises steeply the price of standing with your people and rewards selling them out, but it is still sickening to watch.

今天晚餐，见到了仰慕已久的华裔犹太女兵Abby。

Abby是河南开封犹太人的后裔。在美国读大学二年级时移民以色列。先是在犹太教现代正统派的女子经学院学习。她告诉我说那时候她的希伯来文还不够好，上《阿伯特》课就用我的中译本去理解经文；上《密释纳》课也部分使用我的译本。我听了非常高兴，我��经的心血总算没白费。

毕业后，Abby决定从军，并成为以色列国防军炮兵部队的战士。她目前正在加沙前线作战。今天部队给了她24小时假期，明天一早将重返前线。

Abby是一位非常有头脑有见识的青年。犹太教现代正统派是不许女子当兵的。她从军的决定遭到了经学院老师和院长们的一致反对，但她清楚地知道自己的志向和责任，义无反顾地去了军队。

战争爆发时，Abby正在美国看望父亲。当时美国航空公司已中断赴以航班。Abby归心似箭，告诉父亲说：“送我去机场，到了机场我自己再想办法。”洛杉矶机场此时已经有了很多急��回国参战的以色列人，大家商量的结果是：先飞雅典，到了雅典再想办法回以色列，于是她当场买了一张飞雅典的机票。

到了雅典一看，机场上已经聚集了上千以色列青年，大家都找不到回以色列的航班。最后以色列空军派来几架军用运输机，将这些忠勇青年接回了以色列。Abby说，飞机上既没有座位也没有安全带，大家坐在地板上，用绳子把自己捆在飞机的某个部位上。

整个晚上，Abby都背着一支步枪，即使在吃饭的时候，一只手也放在枪身上，跟我合影时也不例外。

分手时我叮嘱她一定要注意安全。

愿神佑护这位聪明勇敢的华裔女英雄，愿一切危险困境都无法伤害到她，愿胜利之日��Abby平安归来！

In my first public appearance in Shanghai, I was honored to participate in a moving ceremony marking International holocaust Remembrance Day at the Shanghai Jewish Refugees museum https://t.co/4EJA41uZPt

Today we concluded our annual interagency Counter Proliferation Dialogue led by @IsraelMFA and @StateISN, which is the cornerstone of our CP cooperation. As always, very productive exchange of views and information on threats emanating of #Iran and other proliferation threats..

[Joshua L. Zarka @yzarka]

@JosepBorrellF I believe that you are looking for this

[Joshua L. Zarka @yzarka]

Just to clarify… Iran, who is selling attack UAV’s that are used in Ukraine, is the country behind the cyber attack against Albania. It is not just an attack that came out of nowhere

[Joshua L. Zarka @yzarka]

Doing history together at #ICT21🇮🇱 with my colleagues Nancy Jamal🇧🇭 and Ismail Chekkori🇲🇦 discussing Regional Security issues. Broad agreement on:
➡️ Iranian threat to the region.
➡️ Need for action against proliferation of weapons to NSA's.
➡️ Big opportunities to CT together.

[Czech Republic @ Middle East @CzechMFA_MENA]

Discussions with friends & partners are the best. During today's 🇨🇿🇮🇱 consultations in Prague with H.E. J. Zarka, Deputy Director General & colleagues from @IsraelMFA we touched:

▶️ bilateral relations & cooperation
▶️ 🇮🇷 nuclear file
▶️ #MENA security & proliferation issues

[Joshua L. Zarka @yzarka]

Thank you ⁦@enriquemora_⁩ for a significant and in depth discussion on Iran, it’s nuclear program and regional behavior. We agreed to continue this conversation in the near future.

@attilus נשים

[Joshua L. Zarka @yzarka]

It is getting clearer and clearer every day: Iran is openly, rapidly, advancing a military nuclear program, rejecting IAEA oversight while stalling negotiations and misleading the world

[Ravit Baer @BaerRavit]

@TheDailyShow You are most definitely comparing the Palestinians to children. This might be true as far as their decision making is concerned. But with all do respect, Israel first and out most responsibility is to protect its own citizens

תראו איזה יופי, 10 שגרירי האיחוד האירופי ועוד עשרות נציגים של האיחוד התגייסו לעזרה בניקוי החופים שלנו והגיעו הבוקר לאסוף את הזפת מהאסון שעדיין בעיצומו.

@dlaiagur @Nadav_Eyal @YediotAhronot כפי שזה מנוסח, עובדות אלו הביאו להצעה של פייזר, אולם זו נדחתה. ייתכן שנותר לפייזר אינטרס גם ללא בלעדיות, אך זה לא כתוב ולא בהכרח נכון
