🚨 It’s 03AM in Israel, during Passover - one of the most holy periods of the Jewish year - and Iran is raining missiles down on Tel Aviv.
World outrage? Nope. Just DEAFENING SILENCE!
Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹
This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️
“Last Pesach I was 50 meters underground, shackled by my legs, glued to the floor...I can't describe in words the excitement of celebrating Passover with my family….but for our freedom, there are soldiers who are fighting for it, & I’m so grateful.” Alon Ohel
Hope. Hatikvah. Of action & courage
86-year-old hostage Shlomo Mantzur was brutally murdered on October 7th and his body taken hostage by Hamas. For more than 16 months, his fate was unknown, but today his family was notified of his death.
Shlomo was an Iraqi refugee who fled to Israel as a child after surviving the Farhud Massacre in Baghdad. He was a grandfather of 12 and leaves behind a beautiful family.
I met his sister Hadassah while I was in Israel. My heart breaks for Shlomo’s whole family. His body must be returned immediately along with the rest of the remaining hostages. #BringThemHome🎗️
Two million Muslims live freely in Israel, enjoying rights and freedoms rare in the Middle East.
During Hanukkah, Muslims make sufganiyot for Jews, and during Ramadan, Jews share dates with Muslims to break their fasts.
This unity exists in one place: Israel.
Not enough people understand what Israel is up against.
The countries/groups that are actively fighting against Israel whether militarily or diplomatically include:
- Hamas
- Hezbollah
- Fatah
- Iran
- Syria
- Qatar
- Houthis (Yemen)
- China (Two Chinese tunnel engineers were arrested in Gaza. Turns out China helped Hamas build their tunnel infrastructure.)
- Iraq
- Egypt (Endless tunnels from Gaza to Egypt used to smuggle weapons and who knows what else.)
- Turkey
- South Africa
Who did I forget?
If this is not a world war, then I don’t know what is.
Also, the fact that Israel still exists is beyond miraculous.
If there were a hateful protest against a Black Church or a Latino Church, we would not attempt to “explain” it. We would condemn it.
If there were a hateful protest against a mosque, we would not attempt to “explain" it. We would condemn it.
Why do we, as a society, feel the need to “explain” a hateful protest against a synagogue in Los Angeles?
The attempt to justify unjustifiable attacks against Jews is its own form of antisemitism.
Very frustrating and disappointing dealing with #homedepot and their own manufacturer #glacierbay and their ways of dealing with the defective products they sell and manufacture.
