🕯️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

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.

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..
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
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.
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
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.
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
@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.
שגריר האיחוד האירופי עמנואל ז'ופרה: "ברגע שראינו את התמונות האיומות של הזפת החלטנו שאנחנו חייבים לעשות משהו"

@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
