The mash-up of these significant events are interesting. But the current - actually not yet under control - fires have personally taken the wind out of my sails. The wind itself is an actor, maybe most important in the whole scenario.

While Hamas has tried to whup up more arsonists and one was already arrested, it is the effect on the nation that concerns me. We have had a hard year and a half, the nation has mourned, fought international persecution in person, in the ICC, on sports fields, in Ubers, and it takes a toll. The religious calendar builds us spiritually from Purim to Pesach, and the secular calendar lays another level as we grow from Yom ha Shoah Yom ha Zikaron to Independence Day and then to the upcoming joy of Shavuot.

Our children and youth and yes, adults too, take these fires as a gut punch. At least I feel that. We pivot, we zorem, we invent new examples of incredible resilience.

We also get a bit worn out. Everyone needs balance. The synchronicity of all this is remarkable but sometimes boring would be a nice change.

I took the rise and fall of the eminent ultimate firestorm as a gift, return to full pressure on every other front though 🤷

For clarity’s sake: Diana Prince didn’t go back in time, she just was there in 1917, which is when the movie happened. And she was fighting alongside an American pilot in WW1, so the Nazis didn’t exist yet.

Where is your third Reich 🤦

Third millennium of Israel is rocking it Germany's full of Turks and the government won't let them elect Patriots

He's dead Germany was ruined you're a loser and 80 more generations of Jews will continue to thrive despite goitards & Islamoleftism.

Peak European culture was the 100-year war after expelling your Jews to take their loot and women. Eurabia is what you get

Adolt shitler

Proclamation December 1941, addressing troops after taking over as Commander-in-Chief of the army I don't see much future for the Americans. It's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social of social inequalities . . . Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together - a country where everything is built on the dollar?

And let's recognize as well the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the end of the war in Viet Nam.
