This is it. After years of enjoying the free-thinkers on the open platform & discuss current events, I am done w/ tweeter, the amount of bullshit that is floating here w/o censorship, lies & hate being spewed w/o rebuke, all that is dragging me down. Enough, bye.
Hagit, a religious Jew living in Lod, planned to donate a kidney to her friend Yochi.
At the same time, Myaser, a religious Muslim resident of Acre, planned to donate a kidney to her husband Rifad.
Both of them ended up not being a match for donation, but they were both matches for donating to others, and so they did… Hagit donated her kidney to Rifad, and Myaser donated her kidney to Yochi!
A crazy story of the incredible Israeli partnership. Of course it doesn't make noise in the media like the story about a Jewish man who asked to donate a kidney only to a Jew did a few days ago - but it's time for stories like this to hit the headlines too, maybe that way we can restore some sanity and hope!
A speedy recovery to Yochi and Rifad Inshallah 🙏
In the old days, the world used to say something to the effect of, let’s just rid the world of the Jew and everything would be fine. Now it changed to let’s just rid the world of the Jewish State and everything will be fine. Make no mistake, anti-Zionism is the modern form of antisemitism.
Portrait of "The Father of the Atomic Bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer taken in 1958. He was born on April 22, 1904, in New York City, was a brilliant physicist and one of the key figures in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. He is often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his significant contributions to the Manhattan Project.
Oppenheimer came from a privileged background; his father was a successful textile importer. From a young age, he displayed an insatiable curiosity and exceptional intelligence. After completing his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, Oppenheimer pursued a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he was exposed to cutting-edge research and worked with renowned physicists.
Upon returning to the United States, Oppenheimer accepted a teaching position at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became heavily involved in theoretical physics research. His studies on quantum mechanics and nuclear physics garnered him widespread recognition within the scientific community.
In the early 1940s, as World War II raged on, Allied leaders recognized the potential of harnessing nuclear energy for military purposes. The Manhattan Project was established in 1942, with Oppenheimer as its scientific director. Under his guidance, some of the brightest minds in science and engineering came together to build the world's first atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer's leadership, organizational skills, and ability to inspire his colleagues were vital to the success of the Manhattan Project. However, the ethical implications of creating such a powerful weapon weighed heavily on him. He was well aware of the devastating consequences of atomic warfare and reportedly quoted the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, saying, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds," after witnessing the first successful test of the atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945.
Despite his concerns, the atomic bomb was used in August 1945, when the United States dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to the end of World War II. The use of these bombs caused an ethical debate that continues to this day.
After the war, Oppenheimer became an advocate for international control of atomic weapons. He served as the Chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the newly formed United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Unfortunately, his political beliefs and associations led to a series of controversial events during the early Cold War era.
During the Second Red Scare and the rise of McCarthyism in the 1950s, Oppenheimer faced accusations of being sympathetic to communism. His security clearance was revoked, and he was effectively blacklisted from sensitive government projects. This marked a tragic turn in his life and career.
Despite the hardships, Oppenheimer remained an active professor and continued to contribute to the field of theoretical physics. In 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded him the Enrico Fermi Award for his significant contributions to the development of atomic energy.
J. Robert Oppenheimer passed away on February 18, 1967, in Princeton, New Jersey, leaving behind a complicated legacy. He was a brilliant scientist whose work shaped the course of history. However, he was also deeply affected by the consequences of his creations and faced personal and professional challenges due to his political beliefs. Despite the controversies, his contributions to science and the development of atomic energy remain of paramount importance, and his name will forever be associated with the dawning of the atomic age.
Last night, a Republican from Arizona referred to African-American service members as “colored people”.
Charlie Kirk, the leader of the new Hitler Youth Movement that is Turning Point USA said on his radio show that Joy Reid, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Rep. Shiela Jackson Lee, and Michelle Obama used affirmative action because they “do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously” so they had to “steal a white person’s slot.”
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville said that his definition of “white supremacist” is that it means an “American”.
And they ALL swear allegiance to the guy who petitioned to have the now exonerated Central Park 5 executed & questioned the birthplace of our first Black President.
When Republicans show us who they are, we should believe them.

Palestinians are posting on social media photos pertaining to depict ‘ traditional Palestinian dress ‘
The photos are from Armenia , Bosnia and Balochistan - they are stealing the cultures of others as they have no traditional culture of their own as they were created circa 1962
