“Around me were soldiers from all walks of life: secular Tel Avivians,
Ethiopians, Kibbutzinks, religious Jews from the West Bank, Americans, and
city kids from Jerusalem. We were all together in this fight to defend all
the citizens of Israel - Jewish, Arab, Christian, Muslim, of every walk of
life, color of skin and country of origin.” ****


“Every Ukrainian photographer dreams of capturing an image that will bring
an end to the war. This aspiration has long been deeply personal for each
of us. And yes, there is nowhere for us to flee. This is our land.” by Maks

think civilization as we know it is on the line.

If we want to preserve freedom and a meritocracy in America, then Trump

Guess who? At the opening of 1934 Berlin Auto Show: “National Socialist
Germany wants peace because of its fundamental convictions. And it wants
peace also owing to the realization of the simple primitive fact that no
