Do you agree with Jewish Voice for Peace??? Rabbinic Council: "The state of Israel is currently perpetrating a holocaust, the deliberate mass slaughter of Palestinian people, with weapons provided by the United States." 'As rabbis we have taken on a sacred responsibility to protect our ancient tradition, to support our community, and to offer moral leadership amid crisis. We find ourselves in a horrifying historical moment. Many of us have parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who survived or perished in Nazi death marches and we have all grown up in the shadow of the Nazi holocaust. The state of Israel is currently perpetrating a holocaust, the deliberate mass slaughter of Palestinian people, with weapons provided by the United States. The photos and videos coming out of North Gaza are a terrifying echo of all-too-familiar images of European ghettos and Nazi concentration camps in the 2nd World War. The Nazi camps were hidden from the world, but as Susan Albuhawa writes, “Israel is committing the holocaust of our time, and it is doing it in full view of a seemingly indifferent world.” Today we stand with our ancestors at our backs, in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings, demanding an immediate weapons embargo and an end to genocide.’ #israel #neveragain is NOW. #zionismisnotjudaism #zionismisantisemitism #zionismisterrorism

💯 and it better not take too long because we are subjected to existing greenhouse gas levels adding the equivalent heat of 13 exploding Hiroshima bombs every second to the atmosphere, according to climate scientists. The only way to stop that is ending Western colonial capitalism hegemony and beginning to reorganize the economies to work for people and planet, which we could do overnight if we choose to. See Doughnut Economics model by Kate Raworth.

Today, as Israel and Jewish communities worldwide observe Holocaust Remembrance Day, we solemnly honor the memory of the 6 million Jewish lives tragically lost at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. On this day of remembrance, let us not only mourn the lives lost, but especially amidst today's challenges for the people of Israel, also reflect on the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope, compassion, and solidarity. Together, let us strive to build a world where such horrors can never again take place. #NeverForget #NeverAgain #HolocaustRemembranceDay"

Iran has used Holocaust denial to push antisemitic and anti-Zionistic agendas. Understanding and confronting these distortions of history is essential in our ongoing fight against antisemitism and the preservation of historical facts.

https://lnkd.in/gQfPb-fu Please read this very insightful article about weponization of the holocaust against Israel & Jews. Recommend that please also read yhe Tehran Times (in particular) as well as Al Jazeera. Any criticism of Israel by any country in the world especially by the U.S. administration, academic leaders on college campuses, mainstream media & the global protests & holding Israel accountable for the Gaza tragedy & not mentioning Hamas’ responsibility is magnified by the Tehran Times in particular. Global leaders of influence & media silence on todays antisemitic activities as done leading up & during the holocaust can only G-d forbid, increase the risk of another holocaust. Let’s remember that mostly conscripts/ draftees in Israel are fighting & dying for Israel’s survival & fighting against terrorism & evil as mostly conscripts/draftees did in the U.S. & our allies during WWII against the Nazis & fascists. We need to put aside our political differences & let Israel do the job.

If you're looking for a deeper understanding of why I oppose the State of Israel and Zionism, I encourage you to read my entire post from the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. https://lnkd.in/ejPDG5Nx

#OnThisDay, in 1942, the Nazis unleashed one of the most horrendous massacres of the Holocaust at Babi Yar, a ravine near Kyiv, Ukraine. In just two days, they brutally murdered around 33,771 Jews in an act of chilling, inhuman cruelty. The victims, misled with false promises of relocation, were led to the ravine and shot en masse. The prepared mass graves couldn’t handle the overwhelming number of bodies, which piled up in grotesque heaps. This atrocity was a key part of the Nazis' genocidal plan to wipe out the Jewish people. Babi Yar became a horrifying symbol of Nazi savagery, with more victims, including Roma, Soviet POWs, and political dissidents, being killed there later. This massacre serves as a stark, terrifying reminder of the depths of human cruelty. It underscores the urgent need to remember and learn from these dark chapters of history. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The European Jewish Association, based in the political heart of the European Union – Brussels, advocates for and represents the interests of hundreds of Jewish communities and partner organisations across Europe.

The masks are beginning to come off. For a full year we have been subjected to ugliness beyond measure, all in the name of “freeing Palestine” from those “evil Zionists”. They have defaced and defamed, they have lied and libeled. They have assaulted our senses of human decency and assaulted Jewish communities across the globe. When will enough be enough, humanity? How much more intolerance will we tolerate? Can you see it yet, world? Can you see what we’ve been talking about, shouting about, *warning* about for an entire. Year? Hate. It is exponential in nature. Ask yourself this: what possible reason could there have been for mass “protests” to “free Palestine” on and around the first anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? A massacre that traumatized the entire decent world. Their planning is deliberate. Their actions are intentional. They desire to wound Jews and their allies as deeply as they possibly can. Their sophistry is quite clever, I will give them that. They have managed to deceive and invert reality to a remarkable level in the “information age”. It is easy enough to understand how the Nazis managed to capture the minds of their subjects by making their message the only message Germans heard for over a decade. But misinformation on the scale of the Nazis in our current era…it really makes you wonder how in the everloving hell we got here. And how we get out. It is time to realize that moral cowardice in this moment in time is an unforgivable sin. Not against the notorious G-O-D, but against Humanity itself. We all must stand up for what’s right, or face the consequences our ancestors did when they failed to do so.

Q&A: Eliyahu Hanavi, Exile & The Holocaust (HaRav Yitzchak Breitowitz) Rabbi Breitowitz - Interesting Q&A sessions including answering questions like: What is Karet (excision of the soul)? Including the machloket (disagreement) about what it actually means. (time stamp 31:55) What does it mean Derech Eretz Kadma L'Torah? (common decency before the Torah). It might be different than one might think. (time stamp 1:06:35) Do we encourage people to convert who have a lot of opposition from their family? This also includes a Jew who is becoming more religious in opposition to their family. There are important sensitivities involved. (time stamp 1:19:11) Did the holocaust lead to the State of Israel? (time stamp 1:27:20) https://lnkd.in/dkDZRJ5J If you are interested in receiving these Torah-Share.com posts via email please subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/dzj2qNkq
