In the summer of 1941, the Holocaust began in Lithuania.
Over 90% of Lithuanian Jews were murdered, a more complete destruction than befell any other country in the Holocaust. Today, we honor the stolen lives & ensure that their memory is preserved.
“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

Iran’s Regime Sentences 21-Year-Old Karate Champion to Death for Protesting، Execution Imminent!
So let me get this straight;
Sasan Azadvar goes to a protest… and the regime’s response is not a debate, not reform, but a rope?
He isn’t a criminal. He’s a kid with medals, a future, and apparently the dangerous idea that freedom should exist.
Iran’s Supreme Court looked at this and said, “Yeah, execution sounds about right.”
And now the family gets the message from the judicial system:
“Come say goodbye.”
This is a regime so weak, it has to kill its own young people to feel strong.

So the police ban a march in Tower Hamlets and tell lies to ban Jews from going to a match in Birmingham - but are quite happy allowing a pro-Palestinian protest outside a synagogue in St John's Wood this evening. Apparently that one they 'can't stop'.
This country is so lost.
In 2000, two Israeli reservists were lynched by a frenzied Palestinian Arab mob in Ramallah. They were slaughtered and mutilated. Their intestines were ripped out and thrown to the screaming mob. One of the murderers held up his bloody hands in jubilation. That’s the meaning of the red hands held up by these Oxford students. The Oxford Union now celebrates the psychotic murder of Jews.
I’m here in Birmingham outside Aston Villa's stadium standing proudly.
Because we have nothing to be ashamed of and no reason to be afraid - it’s the terror supporters who need to hide, not us!
Today, being a Jew in Britain will feel lonely and scary.
I am appalled by the extraordinary violence visited upon our streets in Manchester, but I can’t say I am surprised.
For years the Community Security Trust has been training thousands of volunteers to provide security outside synagogues for a moment like this. Their warnings have largely fallen on deaf ears.
This attack didn’t come out of a clear sky. It is the product of years of rampant antisemitism. We saw it go mainstream under Jeremy Corbyn. But even after his departure from front-bench politics, it never went away. Antisemitism reached unbelievable levels after October 7th. Back then MPs egged on the hate marches in London that were peppered with extremism and antisemitism. When rabid antisemitism goes unchallenged time after time across our society, tragic attacks like the one today are the destination.
In the coming days we will see the ritual condemnation of the attack. The tweets will be copied and pasted from the last incident, the empty “I stand with” graphics ready to be deployed and public buildings to be illuminated again. But warm words ring hollow when no action follows.
For years radicalisation has gone unchallenged. It has been allowed to grow and grow by a pathetically weak and cowardly elite class. The capitulation of so many of our institutions to antisemitism have made Jewish Brits feel like second class citizens.
Our universities have allowed antisemitism to fester. We have seen Jewish students have swastikas on their doors; universities stand by antisemitic professors. The violent chant to “Globalise the intifada” has been made fashionable by left-wing students who consider antisemitism to be the one acceptable form of racism.
Last year an Islamic charity in Nottingham hosted a vile sermon in which a trustee said “the hour will not begin until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them until a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree.” The Charity Commission responded to this call to violence against the Jews with merely a warning.
We even see it in the NHS, too.This week a doctor, who is also a member of Palestine Action, launched into an unhinged rant that the Royal Free Hospital was a “Jewish supremacy cesspit” and that the UK is “occupied and controlled by Jewish supremacy”. “I don’t condemn Hamas. I don’t condemn October 7”, she said. The medical tribunal has not suspended her.
At times our justice system has barely given antisemitism a slap on the wrist. When people paraded through Whitehall with images glorifying the Hamas paragliders, they were let off with a conditional discharge. Tam Ikram, deputy chief magistrate and a judicial appointments commissioner, turned a blind eye and said that he “did not find that they were seeking to show any support for Hamas”.
I am a Christian. But my wife happens to be Jewish. This week I received an email. It threatened I would have my wife raped and my children shot or starved. “That’s what you deserve. You Zionist pig.” The individual was so confident there would be no repercussions that he gave his name.
I am used to it now. I have had antisemitic death threats posted through my letterbox and delivered to my office. It is now water off a duck’s back. They will not silence me. And nor will attacks like we saw today silence the Jewish community.
Today, being a Jew in Britain will feel lonely. Families will be thinking about their future here and whether they are safe. They should not live like this. We cannot live like this.
We are not helpless victims. We can choose to root out this cancer if our leaders actually care.
I know where I stand.
The man comforting the young boy in this video is Rabbi Daniel Walker.
Reports have said that Rabbi Walker was the man who held the front door of the Synagogue shut before the attacker could get inside the building, potentially saving many lives.
@Keir_Starmer This is on you Keir starmer; you empowered terrorists to attack my community on Yom Kippur
Good riddance to you and your empty platitudes, shame on you
Am I hallucinating? Is @SkyNews a mouthpiece for #hamasmurderers? "#hamas have lost contact with 2 #hostages as a result of Israeli operations over Gaza city and is asking for break in hostilities so that they can remove hostages from danger".
Just release them right now!!! 🎗️
@PolitlcsUK A clear message to the UK Jewish community on the eve of Rosh Hashana-rewarding Hamas terrorists for their murderous assault on Oct 7th; supporting Hamas and their goals of the destruction of the only Jewish state.
Shame on you @Keir_Starmer
We are not safe in our own country
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to announce tomorrow the recognition of a Palestinian state.
48 hostages are still being held in Gaza.
Keir Starmer, you are a disgrace.
Shahar and Arbel were only 5 years old when they were brutally murdered by Hamas on October 7. Two angels with their whole lives ahead of them.
They were twin daughters.
May their memory be forever a blessing.
Never forget how Palestinian terrorists carried and celebrated with music the coffins of Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri Bibas in a sick ceremony while the crowd cheered.
Keir Starmer wants these barbarians to have a state.
The unconditional recognition of a Palestinian State by the British Government at the forthcoming annual United Nations General Assembly, will prove to be a historic error of foreign policy, which will only impede the cause of peace.
It is a reward for terrorism, while the hostages remain in chains, and has been celebrated by Hamas as “one of the fruits of 7th October.”
The intended recognition is not contingent upon a functioning or democratic Palestinian government, nor even upon the most basic commitment to a peaceful future. It does not require an end to the shameful payment of stipends to the families of terrorists, nor the reform of an education system that teaches children to hate Jews. Astonishingly, it is not even conditional upon the release of the 48 hostages who remain in captivity.
I call on our Government to pause and reflect on the calamitous impact of this approach for both Israelis and Palestinians. I urge them to act with the moral courage necessary to bring peace nearer, not to push it further away.
