In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will be singing
About the dark times.

The unimaginable,
the unknowable—
That’s what you give my soul
when it moves into your direction.
By your grace
my eyes have looked upon eternity.

Douglas Murray: “What happened in the skies above Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning stands as a metaphor for three years of war.
The Israelis saw an existential threat, took matters into their own hands, and decided their own course.
The rest of the West will have to decide whether it will follow the Israeli model or let its own future be dictated by terror and the hijacking of its entire society.”

DON’T WORRY. ISRAEL CAN’T STEAL OCTOBER 7 FROM YOU.
Just as the Holocaust will forever be associated with Germany, the rape, murder and kidnapping of Jews on October 7 will forever be associated with the Palestinian Arabs who carried it out.
That date is yours.

At night, when the pendulum of love swings
between Always and Never,
your word accosts the moon of the heart
and your tempest-blue
eye lands heaven to the earth.

He's not "speaking up for Palestinians." He's signaling to his real life and online social groups that he's ideologically pure, unlike apostate Ed Sheeran. These goofs are terrified and will spew any slogan to protect themselves.
As Netflix prepares to release another season of its mixed-faith Jewish rom-com 'Nobody Wants This,' leading man Adam Brody is using his platform to speak up for Palestinians.
“Between COVID, a second Trump term, Israel-Gaza, it’s really brought out some different beliefs that I was ignorant to, and then disheartened by,” he told GQ about Hollywood’s conservative pivot.
“Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine,” said Brody.

We must never forget what we saw.
All of these innocent people paid with their lives because they dared to stand against the Islamic regime and demand freedom.
We will never stop talking about Iran.

“As I look back on my life, which has been full of tragic moments, I see it more as a comedy than a tragedy. One of those comedies in which while laughing your guts out you feel your inner heart breaking. What better comedy could there be?”

The leaves fall, fall as from far,
Like distant gardens withered in the heavens;
They fall with slow and lingering descent.
And in the nights the heavy Earth, too, falls
From out the stars into the Solitude.

When people say Israel is losing the PR war, they are either forgetting or don’t know that there’s an enormous concerted global effort to indoctrinate the globe into believing that Israel / Jews are evil, scum, bloodthirsty , controlling, the root of all ills… There’s no PR war to be won here. Either those who care about truth, honor, freedom and Western civilization stand up to the darkness or we all succumb to it.
