ND Defense’s Post

Erin’s post highlights an unfortunate reality of today’s geopolitical situation—underestimating the resolve of the Israeli people. Awesome job Erin... 5stars!! While it’s disheartening to hear claims that Vice President Harris may have hindered peace efforts, it’s important to recognise that Israel's leadership has shown unwavering determination in defending its citizens. The killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israeli forces is a direct response to Hamas' continuous terror activities, and yet, Israel has repeatedly made it clear that peace can be achieved—if only Hamas ceases their terrorist acts. This situation demonstrates a need for strong leadership on the global stage. While President Biden calls for a cessation of fighting, the truth is that peace cannot be dictated to a nation under attack. President Trump, during his tenure, demonstrated a firm grasp of the complexities in the Middle East. His policies, particularly the Abraham Accords, showed that peace is possible when terror is not tolerated and strength is coupled with diplomacy. It’s clear that under Trump’s leadership, we’d have a more resolute stance supporting Israel’s right to self-defense, and potentially an end to this conflict through decisive action. Trump’s no-nonsense approach would ensure that Hamas' terror activities are met with the strong response they deserve, bringing about peace far quicker than the current administration. Trump is not a polished politician, like Obama or Bush or Clinton... but America better vote him in... or as they say before a plane crash..."bend over and kiss you butt goodbye!" #Israel #SelfDefense #PeaceThroughStrength #Trump2024

We all want America, to continue to be great. We need inclusion and freedom to debate openly and freely without the name calling and bullying because of different ideologies. I believe we. anti anything followers, follow you because you do provide a logical perspective of what used to be the Conservative Republican Party. You still hold those exceptional values of what America is all about. You see how America is and used to be and fight to keep the soul of our country in check. Yet, we have to progress and evolve to become a more perfect Union. It's not your belief in God, Family, Country, because I believe in those values as well. Where we differ is in forcing one religion on America. It's not allowing for women control of their own body. It's the fact, MAGA goes to extreme measures to enforce their beliefs on others. America was created for the world's people to have life, liberty, and pursue happiness. The founding fathers, I believe, were trying to create a country where people could be free from religious persecution, free to speak out against injustices, and to have a system of law in which every person receives his/ her/ fair process. The freedom to live their lives as they see fit.

Let Memorial Day be more than just a moment of silence. Let it be a call to action to build a world where such sacrifices are no longer necessary. #MemorialDay #NeverForget #HonorTheFallen #ThankYouForYourService #MemorialDayWeekend #FreedomIsNotFree #Heroes #LestWeForget #MemorialDayObservance

On being #grateful Thanksgiving. We’re told it’s a time for gratitude and togetherness, but the truth is far more complex. This holiday, glorified in Western tradition, masks a painful history—one rooted in occupation and colonization. It celebrates the whitewashing of language, stories, and humanity itself. As the West continues to manipulate media and ignore the past, they keep us ignorant—celebrating a tradition that hides centuries of violence and oppression. And while they rewrite history, they are still settling lands that belong to others—bombing places like Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond. True gratitude is about more than a holiday. It’s about finding the peace within to treat everyone equitably—to honour every life, every culture, with dignity and respect. Today and every day, let’s be grateful for one thing: the removal of our blinders. Let’s open our eyes to the reality that we must stand together in treating everyone with the respect, humanity, and justice they deserve. Let’s be the change. #emotionalintelligence #awareness #thanksgiving #colonization #dignity

Every life matters

Best wishes for this holiday season to our friends, colleagues, and your families. Thank you for your support! 💫 💫 💫 #happyholiday #paidresearchstudy #opinionslink #opinionslinkresearch #focusgroups #paidstudies #peace #serenity #paidmarketresearch

When will peace transcend our fractured world? This past Friday, a car plowed through a crowded German Christmas market, shattering lives and leaving 200 people injured, about 40 of them in critical condition. Among the victims are a 9-year-old boy and four women, aged 52, 45, 67, and 75, each a reminder of the preciousness of life and the fragility of our joy. In the face of such profound tragedy, I find myself at a loss for words. How do we reconcile the beauty of the season with the darkness that lurks in our midst? Each act of violence leaves us grappling with grief and disbelief, and the question lingers: when will we embrace harmony over hatred, compassion over cruelty? In moments like these, the reflections of individuals like Mr. Schmidt resonate deeply. A member of the National Lutheran Choir, he speaks about the meaning behind a piece he commissioned in 2014 to honor his father, titled "Hope and Quietly Wait," with music by Paul John Rudoi and Thad Fiscella. This poignant work invites us to find solace and strength in hope, reminding us that even in our darkest times, we must hold onto the promise of a better tomorrow. You can listen to this moving piece here (https://lnkd.in/gwKgAEp7). As we navigate this sorrow, it’s crucial to ask ourselves: what are you actively going to do to create peace? Each of us has a role to play in fostering understanding, compassion, and unity. May we collectively strive to create a world where peace is not just a fleeting dream, but a reality we can all share.
