An old clip, but its message remains important today.
⛔️ Orthodox Jews protesting Israel’s forced military conscription face arrests and confrontations.
The State of Israel claims to speak for all Jews, yet it targets religious communities that reject its policies.
Zionism is not Judaism.

Two countries, two very different World Cup welcomes
Mexico greets arriving teams with music and dancing
The US hits them with strict security and thorough inspections under blazing sun the moment they step off the plane
The American World Cup is a disgrace before god.
African teams being treated like criminals and terrorists.
People being turned away.
This has NEVER happened before.
America is what it says Russia is.
HOLY SHIT 🇩🇪🚨
A woman in Germany says “Free Palestine.” Police swarm, cover her mouth, drag her down like a beast.
That slogan is now banned in Germany because it’s considered antisemitic.
If you say it, the state silences you by force.
Judaism is not Zionism.
Judaism is an ancient religion defined by Divine law and spiritual purpose.
Zionism is a G-dless political movement that, while usurping Jewish symbols and identity, advances ideas and objectives that conflict with core Torah teachings.
🇵🇸 In the lobby of the American Medical Association's annual conference, we called on them to speak out for their colleagues imprisoned and tortured by Israel.
AMA: STAND AGAINST GENOCIDE!
Did Iran ever kidnap Lebanon’s Prime Minister and then beat him and humiliate him publicly?
No, but that’s what the Saudis did, with the full backing of the US and Israel.
احتجّ عدد من اللبنانيين الأميركيين اليوم على فعالية أُقيمت في مقر إقامة سفير #لبنان في #واشنطن العاصمة، متهمين الحكومة اللبنانية بالتواطؤ مع إسرائيل في قتل أفراد من عائلاتهم في جنوب لبنان.
وقال المحتجون: "هذه الحكومة باعتنا."
"لقد قُتل أفراد من عائلتنا. وسُلبت أرضنا. ودُمّرت قبور أجدادي على يد إسرائيل بالتعاون مع الحكومة اللبنانية."
"أنتم تحاولون الاحتفال بثقافتهم بينما يتعرضون للتطهير العرقي."
Israel just bombed a residential neighborhood in Beirut, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, the ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.
This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.
Making a deal with Iran would require Trump to formally accept the defeat of his regime change war and return at least some of Iran's stolen ("frozen") assets. He hasn't been willing to do that, so has spent weeks stalling for time. That gave Israel an opening to act as a spoiler, which it seized by escalating its aggression against Lebanon.
Perhaps Israel and the US thought that Iran was desperate enough for a deal to stand down. By striking Israel today, Iran has shown that it will not abandon Hezbollah and south Lebanon.
Now the onus is back on Trump: is he willing to respect Iran and Lebanon as sovereign nations and have peace, or is the cause of Greater Israel worth continuing the war.
As an American Jew devoted to Judaism, I ask one thing:
Please stop calling Israel a “Jewish state.”
Call it a Zionist state.
Call it Herzlstan
Call it whatever you want but do not place the name of an Judaism on a political entity.

Was Israel's Victory in the Six-Day War (1967 Arab–Israeli War) Really a Success?
The world's best military strategists disagree.
Military victory isn't the same as military success.
The following is from West Point's Military Series, Thomas E. Griess, Editor:
"[T]he essence of the Clausewitzian relationship between war and politics, military force and political ends, has somehow eluded Israeli leaders ... After the 1967 military victory, Israelis felt that a solution to their security problems had been found in the strategic depth provided by the occupied lands.
Yet the occupation of this new territory severely strained their military resources, further isolated them from the world community, and damaged the world's perception of the legitimacy of their cause.
Ironically, it was the success of the Arab arms in 1973 and the temporary Israeli military setback that created a political environment which, for the first time, allowed the Israelis to conclude peace accords with their most formidable enemy.
However, the Israeli military response to Palestinian guerrilla operations, coupled with the treatment of the Arab population in the Israeli-occupied lands, has eroded international support for Israel, strengthened the Arab political position, and increased the willingness of the Palestinians to resist Israeli domination."
If you still don't agree, it's because you’re blind because you’re a Zionist — and built deep into Zionism is the Masada complex, which blinds you. Lose your Zionism, or keep losing your wars.

ICE detain leading scorer for Iraq soccer team—interrogate him for 7 hours.
Inspect his phone & perform body search—he was just entering U.S. with teammates for World Cup.
Team's official photographer denied entry altogether—and sent back to Iraq for "classified information."
Aymen Hussein is Iraq's star striker and all-time leading scorer.
Fans were waiting to cheer the team on as they arrived at the airport in the early hours of the morning with Iraqi flags.
Customs and Border Protection released the following statement in response:
"All travelers seeking entry into the United States, including athletes, coaches, and staff, are subject to inspection and vetting. Admissibility determinations are made on a case-by-case basis."
Incident occurred at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Illinois.
The Jewish people haven’t returned yet. We are still exiled
Whether it was a true libertarian is another question.
The occupation that followed brought decades of conflict, bloodshed, and international condemnation.
Military triumph and lasting peace are not the same thing.
For 2,000 years, Jews prayed for Jerusalem, and we still pray for Jerusalem today.
The Jerusalem we have always prayed for is a spiritual one: the city of peace, justice, and divine redemption.
It was never meant to be conquered through war, governed by Zionist nationalism, or sustained by endless conflict, by Zionist who do not believe in G-d and do not pray.
This is not the liberation our people have yearned for.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
