September 2025 or Nazi Germany 1930s?
Seen recently in a shop window in Flensburg, Germany:
"JEWS are banned here!!!! Nothing personal, not antisemitism either, I just can't stand you."
Europe is seeing a return to the Nazi-style exclusion and dehumanization of Jews that preceded the Holocaust.

Today we remember the 2,977 lives lost on 9/11/2001. We honor their memory, hold their families in our hearts, & pay tribute to the first responders whose courage inspires us. As we reflect on that pivotal moment, we are reminded that terrorism is not confined to the past or to one nation.

This morning, the IDF carried out airstrikes targeting Hamas chiefs who have until now enjoyed immunity for their terrorist crimes by living outside of Gaza. The strikes eliminated at least five members of Hamas, an organization that slaughters children, rapes women, and burns families alive.
