Hero Ran Gvili will not be left behind.
On October 7, 2023, even while recovering from a broken shoulder, Ran Gvili (24), a police officer in Israel’s Yasam counter-terror unit, did not hesitate. The moment he heard about Hamas’ brutal massacre unfolding, he rushed out to help.

It’s a deliberate tactic to silence anyone who questions their narratives that demonize Jews and Israel.
You’re failing that WWYD in 1939 Germany test, y’all.

The UN General Assembly passed a resolution, demanding that russia unconditionally returns all kidnapped Ukrainian children.
91 votes in favor

For anyone unaware of real antisemitism, please view this video. The accusation that Jews consume blood/body parts goes back CENTURIES. It's been a convenient distractive narrative for anyone trying to deflect attention from leadership failures, etc.

“For Russians, performative cruelty is a tool of war,” British historian Antony Beevor told The Telegraph.
Russia’s actions in Ukraine are not an anomaly. They are the continuation of several centuries of an especially brutal military culture that the West has long ignored.
