This Jewish Londoner’s family has lived in England for hundreds of years.
Now, he is the last one to leave for Israel.
Why? He’s sick of getting threatened in the street.
A society that has given up on protecting Jews is not a healthy society.

Some nursing homes struggle to attract visitors. One in the Netherlands chose to invite roommates instead.
In the Dutch city of Deventer, a retirement home called Humanitas introduced an idea that would eventually gain attention around the world.
Rather than accepting loneliness as a normal part of aging, they approached it as something that could actually be solved.
For over ten years, Humanitas has allowed university students to live inside the nursing home rent free.
In return, the students spend about thirty hours each month connecting with residents. Sometimes that means sharing meals, having conversations, helping with technology, joining activities, or simply keeping someone company during a quiet afternoon.
They are not nurses or employees. They are simply part of the community.
At first, the idea sounded like a smart response to expensive student housing.
But the real impact appeared in the lives of the residents. Reports from outlets such as PBS NewsHour and AARP described seniors becoming more social, more active, and less isolated once younger people became part of everyday life.
What makes the story even more meaningful is that many students chose to spend far more time there than the agreement required.
Some even stayed connected after graduating. Over time, casual interactions turned into genuine friendships.
Humanitas didn’t really create something new. It brought back something many societies once had naturally: different generations living side by side instead of separately.
Maybe the issue was never aging itself. Maybe it was the distance we created between generations.
Sometimes the most powerful ideas are simply old human connections rediscovered.
@LouisevanArckel@LaLiesbeth Zo sprak Albanese schande van de ‘Joodse lobby die Amerika tot slaaf heeft gemaakt’, stelde zij de Arabische Nederlaag tegen Israël in 1948 gelijk aan de Holocaust en betwist zij het recht van dat land te bestaan als Joodse staat. (leuk die capslock)
@CUdeHaan@haraldvanroekel Niet sinds 2014, maar sinds 2010 onderhandelen de partijen in #Wageningen in de openbaarheid. Destijds op initiatief van #D66 met gelukkig steun van de andere partijen.
Este es el muro que Egipto construyó en la frontera con Gaza para impedir la entrada de refugiados palestinos.
Hay 57 países de mayoría musulmana, y ninguno ha acogido a ningún refugiado palestino. ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué?
