“Daddy was visibly Jewish.”
That is what Albert Itzkowitz’s daughter said through tears.
Albert was 75.
He owned a kosher bakery in Queens.
He served as a rabbi at a nursing home.
He volunteered as an EMT.
He was a grandfather.
On May 18, he went to Kissena Park, where he used to spend quiet time on his lunch break.
He brought a chair and a crossword puzzle.
He was found shot in the neck and back.
Murdered.
Now his children are asking anyone who saw something to come forward.
More than a month later, there is still no arrest.
There is now a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Somebody knows something.
Say his name.
Albert Itzkowitz.
Do not let his family demand justice alone.
This is the price of Ukrainian bread.
Kherson. Burning wheat fields.
These aren't just fields.
They're food set ablaze by russian drone strikes.
Firefighters can't reach the fires.
russia isn't just destroying Ukraine. It's burning food meant to feed the world.
I have ZERO patience with Christians who hate Jewish people, or make up crazy conspiracy theories about Jews.
As a Christian it makes me so sad and angry. I don't understand how they can call themselves Christian.
In recent years I have lost a couple of friends that turned out to be antisemites… and that's perfectly ok. After October 7, a lot of people have shown their true colours.
I want NOTHING to do with such wicked people.

We have launched a fundraiser for the daughter of Max, our ABC colleague killed by a Russian strike.
Maria is 9-months old and now being raised alone by Max’s wife. He was the primary breadwinner.
The link to donate is in the next post.
Please give and share if you can.
So why are Russians screaming and shrieking in every video now that Ukrainian cruise missiles and massive swarms of drones are finally flying back toward their cities?
Weren't they the ones who spent decades happily consuming kilotons of the Kremlin's warmongering propaganda in everything from the daily news to films, TV series, and even cartoons?
Weren't they the ones who enthusiastically echoed their permanent regime's slogans of "We can do it again!!!" and spent generations indulging in fantasies of a glorious war against the "decadent gay West," provided they could stay comfortably on their couches, consuming triumphant war reports and the sound of military marches on television?
Weren't they the ones dreaming of putting those "stupid khokhol swines" in their place, cheering with delight when Ukrainians were "punished" for their pro-Western democratic revolution through the criminal seizure of Crimea and the unleashing of the bloody war in Donbas?
Weren't they the ones who for years swallowed the revanchist pseudo-historical ravings of their KGB bio-robot in the Kremlin, shouting "On to Washington!!" and "On to Berlin!!" while dressing their own little children in military uniforms and putting them into toy tanks and cardboard missiles?
Weren't they the ones who erupted in euphoria at the launch of the "Kyiv in three days" operation, only to then flock by the hundreds of thousands and millions to kill Ukrainians as mercenaries for peanuts and to work for Russia's military-industrial complex, counting their blood-soaked profits?
Weren't they the ones who descended into complete moral savagery as a people and as a country, watching with their own eyes as horrific war crimes against Ukraine and Ukrainians were committed every single day, from torture and beheadings to the destruction of entire cities and nighttime missile strikes that brought apartment buildings down on top of the people inside?
Weren't they the ones who celebrated every mass killing of Ukrainians on social media, gleefully fantasizing about "leaving Europe without gas" and "freezing the khokhols in the dark this winter"?
Weren't they the very same people who loudly applauded and shouted "THANK YOU!!!" to the Wagner mercenaries in Rostov-on-Don three years ago?
Aren't they still happily consuming nonstop propaganda about the "Kyiv junta," "Ukrainian Nazis," and the "former so-called Ukraine," while listening to state propagandist Solovyov and Putin's officials calling for Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv to be wiped off the face of the earth with nuclear weapons because they refused to submit and fought back?
So what is it? Do Russians no longer enjoy the "sacred war" now that the time has come to answer for that entire orgy of hatred, chauvinism, revanchism, militarism, the cult of death, totalitarianism, and the cynical exploitation of the memory of World War II to justify new wars of conquest?
Now the Ukraine they despised so deeply and looked down upon as inherently inferior -- has survived this war, rallied the support of the free world, armed itself to the teeth, and is now systematically breaking the very backbone of their inhuman war machine.
Today marks the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
Thousands of Ukrainians are subjected to inhumane treatment in russian captivity.
Those who return change so much that their own families don't always recognize them.
This is what russian captivity looks like🧵
Russia started plundering Mariupol, the largest Ukrainian city it has captured and still holds, while it was still burning. The process is leaving a massive paper trail. I spent a year poring over every occupation order and court ruling. This is the result https://t.co/bI8cQ7ebZ0
Efforts are currently underway in Kryvyi Rih to deal with the aftermath of the Russian missile strike on the city. The Russians targeted civilian infrastructure. First responders have already extinguished the fire. As of now, tragically, three people have been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. More than 20 people have been wounded. Three of them are in serious condition. Everyone is receiving the necessary assistance.
Every such day and every Russian strike prove that the pressure on the aggressor over this war is insufficient. They also prove that every delay in implementing air defense agreements, any delay in supplies needed to protect Ukraine and Ukrainians, effectively costs lives. It is important that the world not remain silent about the fact that Russia has still taken no real step toward ending this war. To all our proposals for diplomacy, meetings, and steps toward peace, we have received no clear response from the Russians. Pressure is needed. Pressure on Russia, so that the situation changes for the better. Thank you to everyone who is helping!
Vodianske, Donetsk region. Destroyed by Russians, like many other Ukrainian cities and settlements.
Ruined streets and homes. The Holy Presentation Church, built in 2009, was burned down.
This is what the "Russian world" looks like.

This is 73-year-old Valentina Kubrak.
Yesterday, russia killed her.
She wasn’t a soldier. She wasn’t near a battlefield. She was just living her life.
russian terrorists deliberately targeted the civilian car she was traveling in with an FPV drone.
This is who russia kills.
