”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
One of the biggest and lesser known stories of Nov 29 is that the lands allocated to a Jewish state (two color map) were essentially those the Zionists reclaimed from malaria through land purchase, science and education (blue map).
Moreover, the sudden and extremely rapid increase of the Arab population in the 1920’s and 1930’s in this barely populated backwater region (this was the highest population increase rate in the world in 1931/2) was only in part due to immigration spurred by Zionist development of the land. The major share of the massive Arab population increase was thanks to Malaria eradication, which was the work of the Galician born famed microbiologist and ardent Zionist Dr. Israel Kligler (credit to the great historical work of Anton Alexander).
With this knowledge it remains even a greater tragedy that the now much more numerous Arabs of the land directed their efforts towards brutally fighting Zionism rather than choosing to live side by side with an emerging Jewish state.
In the shadow of the Oct 7 massacre we mark once more the Nov 29 moment when the Jews said yes to the UNGA plan of partition (having prioritized having a state, even if tiny and mostly desert and lands reclaimed from malaria and no Zion and no Judea) and the Arabs said no and proceeded to wage a brutal war to the present day (having prioritized - still - the goal of the Jews not having a state at all and of any size).
(Note on map titles: for twenty centuries, before a camoaign of denial was underway, it was well understood that the name “Palestine” merely denoted the geographic region where the Land of Israel was and was therefore deeply associated with Jews and the their continuous connection to the land. Hence the League of Nation in establishing the mandate recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" as the "grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country” and which is why the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra of Jewish musicians became the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra…)
In Paris, Jewish stores have been labeled with Stars of David.
As if 80 years have not passed.
The distance between the massacre in Beeri Kibbutz and the streets of Paris is shorter than you think.
Yes, the west is next.
Israel is fighting radical Islamic terror on its borders.
If we don’t stop this terror here and now, you’ll get these massacres in Paris, London and New York City.
We have only one option: total victory.
"Wow what a day today has been I was on the way leaving Huntsville and had to stop to pick up some shots. I ran through Walmart parking lot and I saw a homeless man sitting on the side of the road and the sign says 'my dog is in the pound help' Of course what do I do, I've seen every sign in the world except that one. I've seen 'I need a beer, lost my job, need help.' I could go on forever but never this sign so I tried to pull to the side and of course everybody's pissed off because I'm blocking them and I asked him what his deal was. I gave him my card I asked him how much it was to get his dog out of the pound; he said $120 well I had $8 to my name. I told him I'd see what I could do. At first I called the pound to verify the man's story was true and they said yes it was $120. I asked him why so much the pound said because $35 was for an impoundment fee; then they gave it rabies shots, got a heartworm test and yes the dog was negative and put a flea prevention and they said yes the dog was in good shape so now when I don't have a dime to my name I call a dear friend and sponsor money and I tell her about this guy. She says well go back and find out his story so I did; 30 years old and his name is Patrick. I talked to him for a few minutes and he told me his circumstances and stuff and I told him well I'm getting the money to get your dog out so let's go down to the pound.
Me and Patrick go down to the pound, they give them all his paperwork and they did get a copy of the rabies. Fred Frederick is the dog's name he was shaking when he came out of the pound it was so happy. Happy to see the man so sometimes you just have to dig deeper and do what's right in your heart. That man loves that dog. On his backpack was the dog's bowl and toys. He's helping the dog against the world, the man was very very grateful he had tears in his eyes when the dog came out. We've all been in a bad situation in our life so remember always pay it forward you never know who that person might be that you help but I know for a fact that man loves his dog and he tried to give me the money he had collected. I wouldn't accept it because maybe he can have some dinner tonight. He said his dog eats before he does. Wow that sounds like me too, I wish I had the money to get the man a room for a week and let him regroup him and Frederick but unfortunately I don't. All I can do is give him his dog and pray that life gives the man a break. I cried after the man in Frederick left. I dropped them back off in the Walmart parking lot in Huntsville, Texas. God please bless Patrick in Frederick tonight."

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
You can’t mourn for dead Jews while defending those who are trying to kill more. My monologue on the gaslighting of Israelis and the Jewish community by the international community in response to the #HamasMassacre for @iltvnews:
This is Captain Yuval, an infantry commander in the Nahal Brigade. On Saturday morning, as soon as she heard about the horrors taking place, she ran out of her home with her gun in her pajamas.
She reports there were dead bodies all over the road, and that at some point, a group of terrorists on motorcycles drive towards her, and she empties a whole magazine on them killing two. She's calling her boss Colonel Steinberg, but he's been killed. Same with other commanders she tries reaching - all gone.
She located Captain Ron, and together they understand that only they are left to conduct this battle. They find a friend's house nearby, open up a war room, and begin directing the forces on the ground. Before most of us even woke up and understood what is happening, these two young captains were directing commandos and fighter pilots, and eliminated 22 terrorists, preventing them from taking control of two outposts. In their pajamas.
They are still out there fighting. We are in good hands!

Imagine being a Jewish man or woman living outside of Israel, especially in the Western world (US, UK, Canada), and seeing hundreds of thousands of people — of various ethnicities and around the world — cheering the slaughter of your people in the Jewish homeland. Imagine trying to figure out where the safest place would be for you and your family.
Now, multiply that by 1,000 and you may get a small glimpse of what our Jewish brothers and sisters are experiencing right now.
"They just said, we found Emily. She's dead. I went, 'Yes!' and smiled, because that is the best news of the possibilities I knew. She was either dead or in Gaza. And if you know anything about what they do to people in Gaza, that is worse than death."
Emily was 8.
