This was Gaza three years ago on October 7.

Palestinians were kissing the floor with joy as Hamas paraded dead Jews through the streets.

Remember this the next time you see someone call them the victims.

I feel stupid sharing this story about my cat, but God works in mysterious ways.
God, i’m sorry for all the times that I make it hard to catch me.

The 85-year-old who chose to die to save his family.

On October 7, Hamas terrorists went from house to house in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
Shlomo Ron, 85, understood what was happening - but he had a plan.

He told his wife, two daughters, and grandson to hide in the safe room. They tried to convince him to come inside with them.

He refused.

Shlomo believed that if the terrorists entered and found an old man sitting alone in the living room, they would assume he lived alone, kill him, and move on without searching the rest of the house.

So he sat down in his armchair and waited.

The terrorists entered.

They saw Shlomo alone.

They shot him dead—and moved on without searching the rest of the house.

Exactly as he had hoped.

His wife, daughters, and grandson survived.

Shlomo Ron, one of the founders of Nahal Oz, was 85 years old and unarmed.

His final act was to give his life to protect his family.

OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE.

Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival.

She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said:

“I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”

Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life.

She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:

“I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me.

I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for.

Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die.

Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.

My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.”

When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead.

With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road.

“Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down.

While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire.

It didn’t stop.

It kept going, until the call was disconnected.

And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body.

Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people.

Her memory will forever be a blessing.

NEVER FORGET.
NEVER FORGIVE.

NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.

Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all.

They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.

My favorite insult the left gives me is when they tell me that I look trans. They say trans is beautiful, but then use it as an insult. Very comical. ( because a man can be a woman, but a masculine woman cannot? lol k )

Anyways, being a tomboy is pretty cool.
Being secure in my womanhood is pretty cool.
Being able to grow up and find my style without the pressure of trans ideology was pretty cool.

And I hope every young tomboy out there knows that she can grow up and be cool just the way she is.
That she doesn’t need to chop off body parts and take hormones. That she is allowed to be different, and that doesn’t mean she was born in the wrong body.

Tomboys are cool, and definitely worth saving.

What actually happened with smit machchar 🚨

- A flight was coming to Dubai from Israel
- Around 2 hours after takeoff, a Muslim co pilot told Smit he is going to rest a little
- He went back and started stabbing Smit with a pocket knife
- Smit started bleeding and the plane dropped 14,000 feet in a minute
- Smit had a button to open the cockpit door beside his seat. He somehow pressed it
- Passengers saw blood coming from the cockpit
- The Muslim pilot started celebrating and shouting “Allah hu Akbar.” He thought nobody could save all of them now
- Passengers rushed to save the pilot and some of them attacked the other pilot
- A few of them were relief pilots who landed the plane safely
- One of them was a doctor who saved Smit from excessive bleeding
- Now Smit is in stable condition and all 180 passengers are safe

No words are enough to describe the bravery of Smit Machchhar and the mentality of that Muslim pilot 🙏

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Auschwitz Survivor Julia Wallach, who died at the age of 101.

Julia Wallach, née Kac, was born on 14 June 1925 in Paris as the only daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants. During the German occupation of France in July 1942, her mother Marie was arrested in the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup. Julia never saw her again.

On 24 April 1943, Julia and her father Joseph were arrested after being denounced. They were imprisoned in Drancy. On 23 June 1943, they were deported to Auschwitz in transport no. 55. Julia was 18 years old. In the camp, she was registered as prisoner no. 46645.

Her father did not survive. Julia owed her survival in part to one of her cousins, whom she met there, and who advised her never to miss work, under any circumstances, or she too would go "up the chimney". Julia listened and went to work, even though she was extremely ill with typhus.

In January 1945, she was taken on an evacuation march. During the following months, she was transferred westward, including to Ravensbrück. In April 1945, she managed to escape during a death march and eventually reached American soldiers.

After the war, she recovered the family apartment in Paris, married a fellow survivor, and raised two children. From the 1960s onward, and with growing intensity in recent decades, Wallach spoke regularly in schools and public events about her deportation and life in Auschwitz. In the 2020s her testimony reached wider audiences through films made by her granddaughter, filmmaker Frankie Wallach. In 2022, she was awarded the Légion d’honneur for her educational work.

May her memory be a blessing.

@Joeinblack @fshsjmjm 😢 Keep an eye out at the feeding station. My daughters cat was found hiding in the yard 4 doors down. After a month.🤞

@Joeinblack Father, I love your sermons & how you make God approachable. I'm having surgery Monday & am starting to get worried. Would you please say a prayer for me?
-Suzette

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

God does not love you because you prayed correctly.
He does not love you because you were able to focus in your prayer.
Your excellent theology does not compel Him to love you better.
He just loves you.
He loves your helplessness.
Your brokenness is a magnet for Him; it attracts, it doesn’t repulse.
Don’t despise your spiritual poverty, it’s the truth about you.
The Father gave us a savior. Don’t be surprised you need one.

They hanged him at dawn.💔

The Islamic Republic executed rapper Erfan Mirzaei on Sunday, September 6, at the morning adhan, in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan. No warning. No last call to his family. The rope and the silence.

He was a young rapper. His crime was standing against a regime that kills to survive. He sang of freedom and hope in a country where a song can cost your life. Those who knew him remember a young man full of fire, art, and big dreams. The regime stole all of it in a single dawn, while the world slept.

He was arrested during the January protests and executed in secret, while the Islamic Republic continues slaughtering January protesters in Iran's prisons under a total news blackout.

His funeral is today, Say his name. Do not let the gallows have the last word.
