This is what Zionism looks like.
1947, at the port in Haifa, young Zionist women wait for the arrival of 1500 Jewish babies of those who had just survived the Holocaust, coming from a British internment in Cyprus.
The story of how the Zionist movement cared for the children of the Holocaust generation is yet to have been properly told, and it is one of the most powerful stories in the history of our people.

I got to see Ponyo as the first movie of Studio Ghibli Fest and wow was this movie amazing. This I might've seen as a kid and it felt pretty nostalgic to me. I remember seeing commercials for this as a kid and wanting to see it. Glad I got my chance to see it on the big screen.
This one wasn't hard to solve. @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor are driving up costs, driving out families, and driving New York in the wrong direction.
When I'm Governor, the wheel of misfortune stops here.
Being an anti-Zionist Jew comes from a place of incredible privilege.
It means you don't have to think about questions like who took in tens of thousands of orphans after the Holocaust and brought them back to the Jewish people?
It means none of your relatives were desperately knocking on the doors of consulates and embassies to find a place to flee to when there was no place to go to after the Holocaust.
It means none of your ancestors were expelled from their homes in countries like Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and more.
It means none of your ancestors were attempting to flee the USSR and find a country that would take them in.
It means your family members were not living in post-WWII Poland and Hungary, where they were told to leave on a week's notice.
Zionism gave all those a home, and no one who owes their life to that movement can forget that.

AMERICAN HISTORY: HOW A JEW HELPED SAVE THE REVOLUTION
His name was Haym Salomon.
A Polish-born Jewish immigrant.
A broker.
A patriot.
And one of the most overlooked financiers of the American Revolution.
When the Continental Congress was broke, Salomon helped turn foreign loans into usable money for the American cause.
When the Patriots needed funds, he helped raise them.
When the British controlled New York, he risked his life with the Sons of Liberty and was arrested more than once.
And when Washington’s army needed money to keep the fight alive, Salomon was part of the financial network that helped make the Revolution possible.
From 1781 to 1784, he worked closely with Robert Morris, the Superintendent of Finance, helping sustain the American war effort.
He gave everything to the cause.
And he died in Philadelphia in 1785, reportedly penniless, never fully repaid by the country he helped create.
America remembers generals.
America remembers presidents.
America should also remember Haym Salomon.
A Jew.
An immigrant.
A patriot.
And one of the men who helped finance American independence.
