So touching: Ireland soccer team wears black ribbons and refuse to shake the hands of the Israeli team members as they identify with Gaza. But- Last month, Ireland’s cricket team had no trouble whatsoever to play and shake the hands of Afghanistan’s cricket team. As a reminder, approximately 200,000 people were killed in Afghanistan in the last war. Since Taliban took over the country in 2021, women’s rights are non existent! Hypocrisy at its best!

I was just craving pumpkin soup so I made my own super quick. Very easy: Can of pure pumpkin (not pie filling) 3/4 can coconut cream or milk About 1 and 1/2 cup veg or chicken broth An onion Minced garlic Salt, pepper, white pepper, allspice, and thyme Sauté garlic and onions with a little broth Add seasoning Add pumpkin, coconut milk, broth, Stir Put in blender or use immersion blender (I just used food processor) Done! You can be fancy and garnish it but I just ate it, no photos of my own bc I didn’t have garnish lol

Clean shot.

There were some people from Netherlands in our church this morning who are flying back tomorrow & have to check their souvenirs to make sure they aren’t from Judea/Samaria-possible 6 yr prison term. A Nativity set from Bethlehem could put you in prison! Insane!

Truly disturbing

MY ANCESTORS CONVERTED UNDER THE SWORD I spent much of my life believing a lie, a big one. My parents told me I was Arab. My mother said she was Arab. My father said he was Arab and even claimed “holy blood,” as many North Africans do when claiming descent from the Prophet’s family. Then I came to America and took a DNA test. The result shocked me: 94% North African Amazigh. I wasn’t from the Arabian Peninsula. My roots were right where my family had lived for generations: North Africa. Suddenly, the history made sense. When Arab-Muslim armies conquered North Africa in the 7th and 8th centuries, the Amazigh did not simply disappear. They resisted the new rulers repeatedly, sometimes fiercely. Over the centuries, much of North Africa was Islamized and Arabized. Indigenous languages, religions, identities, and histories were pushed aside as Arabic and Islam became dominant. Somewhere along my family line, being “Arab” became the story passed from parent to child. Perhaps claiming Arab, and especially prestigious Arab, ancestry offered status, protection, or simply a way to belong in the society that emerged after the conquest. The irony is that science eventually challenged the family story. My DNA said: You are Amazigh. You are North African. Christianity had deep roots in pre-Islamic North Africa. This was the land of Augustine, Tertullian, Cyprian, and countless North African Christians. Then conquest transformed the region, followed over centuries by Islamization and Arabization. So when people romanticize the “spread of Islam” in North Africa as though our ancestors simply heard the message and enthusiastically abandoned everything they had been, I ask them to read the history of conquest, taxation, slavery, rebellion, and resistance. My ancestors did not need foreigners from Arabia to give them an identity. They already had one. Their land was North Africa. Their people were Amazigh. Their languages existed before Arabic arrived. Their religions were Christianity and Judaism. Their history existed before Islam arrived. Today, Morocco officially recognizes Tamazight, the language of the people who were there long before the Arab conquest. For generations, we were taught to look east to discover who we were. My DNA pointed me back home. Islamization changed my ancestors’ religion. Arabization obscured their identity. But neither could change their blood.

Terrifying.

RT @serachisrael: The Sukkah (the tent) and the lulav (palm branches) are from the Torah.

If you’re a 25 year old woman on a plane and the man next to you starts masturbating and the flight crew won’t deal with it properly, find a Gen X woman seated nearby. We have been preparing for this moment since 1999 and we would be delighted to handle the situation. @united should be embarrassed

When @NYCMayor & his allies the influencers incite Jew hatred, this is the outcome.

Chag sameach, everyone. I hope you have a beautiful and blessed Sukkot. ❤️

There’s a lot of ginger children in Gaza. It’s hard not to think of the Bibas kids when I see them. Super sweet smile, hope he’s not indoctrinated into hatred.

FYI ladies, this dress on her is available at Miss Finch lol I super want to get it tbh it’s so pretty

Tonight begins Sukkot, one of the oldest continuously observed holidays in the world. For seven days, Jews leave the permanence of their homes and dwell in a sukkah, remembering the Israelites’ journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. “You shall live in booths seven days… so that future generations may know that I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt.” — Leviticus 23:42–43 For more than 3,000 years, from the wilderness to Jerusalem to Jewish communities across the world, the tradition continues. Chag Sukkot Sameach. 🌿🇮🇱

Also made Sukkot Barbie

Chag Sameach!
