10 September 1930 | An Italian Jewish woman, Liliana Segre, was born in Milan.

In January 1944, she was deported to #Auschwitz with her father Alberto who perished in the camp in April 1944.

Liliana survived. Today she turns 96.

Thirteen leading Soviet Jewish intellectuals, including poets, novelists, and cultural figures, inc at least one Bundist, were taken to Moscow’s Lubyanka prison and executed by firing squad on Stalin’s direct orders.

#Israel singer Raviv Kaner releases a Hebrew/Arabic song mourning the death of 12 Druze children killed by a Hezbollah rocket on the Golan Heights.
For 2,300 Druze massacred by Damascus Islamist forces in Suwayda, #Syria, the Druze got no solidarity from fellow Arabs.

1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.

One of the greatest speeches of all times.
Important to remember the values of #humanity and #democracy in dark times.

Charlie Chaplin felt so strongly about fighting fascism against Germany in 1940 that he broke his silence for the first time ever to deliver this monologue

[Israel in UN/Geneva🇮🇱🇺🇳 @IsraelinGeneva]

76 years ago today, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted, in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust and WWII.

This document is the cornerstone of the modern international order we know today - one built on respect for human dignity, for freedoms, for diversity, for the protection of individual rights.

These values are what should bring us together. Sadly, they are increasingly weaponized for political goals by entities who are serial violators of these fundamental values.

76 years later, Israel remains committed as ever to the UDHR. #HumanRightsDay

Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin have announced the death of their beloved son, Hersh.

Hersh was 23 years old.

His body was recovered by the IDF in Gaza, along with other Israeli hostages. He was one of eight American hostages still being held in Gaza.

Hersh was severely injured by Hamas terrorists at the music festival on October 7, then kidnapped and held hostage in Gaza. His arm was amputated in Gaza due to the injuries he sustained.

Last year, he planned to go on a trip around the world, one he had been planning since he was in first grade.

To mark the day he was supposed to depart, Hersh’s parents, relatives, and friends went to the airport, held up signs with his photo, and handed out stickers to passengers.

Hersh’s mom, Rachel, told reporters that she hoped her son would be released in time to take the trip around the world next year.

“You don’t need two arms to travel the world,” she said.

Statement from Hersh’s family:

“With broken hearts, the Goldberg-Polin family is devastated to announce the death of their beloved son and brother, Hersh. The family thanks you all for your love and support and asks for privacy at this time.”
