2022-06-14 10:56:31 Veteran IDF combat soldier, Michael Zamir, tells his story of the 2nd Lebanon war.

During the war (2006), he was a 25-year-old combat medic in the Paratroopers Brigade. While on a mission, his platoon took shelter in a deserted building in Debel, Lebanon. A Hezbollah missile hit, inflicting serious casualties. As he began to administer first aid, another incoming rocket critically wounded the rest of the unit. This time, Michael was among them. Despite several broken bones & life-threatening injuries over his entire body, he continued to help his fellow soldiers. At the same time as carrying them one by one to a safer area, he single-handedly took on the enemy in a firefight.

Even with his heroic efforts, Michael could not save his 11 friends. He was the sole survivor. He suffers from severe PTSD.

He was awarded the highest commendations for his courageous actions under fire.

Michael, you are a hero brother and we are all with you!

2022-06-13 23:53:20 This is so sad on such a happy occasion.

This is Nehorai Gol in the 1st video, the son of Rabbi Boaz Gol who was murdered about 1 & a half months ago in the terrorist attack in Elad. Today he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah.

He wrote a special & moving song about his father and sang it to the tune of a famous song called "Abba (Father)" by famous Israeli singer Shlomi Shabbat. His younger brother also sang along.

The lyrics he wrote can be seen in the comments.

The family members sent the song recorded by the bar mitzvah boy to the singer Shlomi Shabbat who responded by sending them a video and said: "Dear Nehorai, I want to congratulate you on reaching the age of observance, it is very exciting that you decided to dedicate my song. I am sure that your Father in heaven hears and stands in prayer before the Creator of the world, that you may grow up in the Torah, the mitzvos, the Chupah and good deeds, Amen".

I will be honest, I cried while writing this post due to the words Nehorai wrote. Mazal Tov Nehorai. Open / Comment

2022-06-12 23:12:15 Muslims on the Temple Mount inciting hatred for Hindus and inciting for Pakistanis to kill Hindus.

This is known as hate speech. If this was a Jew saying such things, the police would have stopped it by now and the media would be going crazy over this worldwide. Open / Comment

2022-06-12 10:24:35 Introducing my Israeli Arab friend named Timur Aklin who converted to Judaism after being raised Muslim. Timur was born in Yaffo to a religious Muslim family and used to have very negative views on Israel and Jews in general but his life events shaped him into the person he is today and set him on the right path.

Please watch this brief introduction video he made about his life and about his views on the Arab world in general. You can also watch on YouTube here.

There will be more to come.

Even as a Jew he has experienced an anti-Semitic attack which I posted about here. Open / Comment

2022-06-12 08:57:48 This happened in the mixed Jewish / Arab city of Yaffo...Arabs are filmed taking down the "pride" flags...though notice how nobody does or says a thing.....why? because its Arabs doing it....if this was in Tel Aviv and it was Jews doing it, there would be a whole different response and it would be all over the news.

I care less that those forced leftist agenda political flags are taken down but this is more about the hypocrisy of the leftists there. They are either afraid of the Arabs or they understand that Arabs dont like this stuff so they dont want to interfere BUT when it comes to Jews then there will be hell to pay. Open / Comment
