Wow. This is absolutely boss, so true, and a wonderful share. As a Catholic South African with a Jewish great grandad on Mum’s side, I have always been supportive of Israel and her nationhood.

No hate speech will dim her beacon of hope and light in an increasingly unsettled world situation.

Kindest regards and the deepest respect for job and peace seekers worldwide

Irina, kudos to you for finishing on a hopeful note, so often (and understandably) rare when discussing or writing about our past and present struggles as Jews in this world.

Excellent and informative essay. I was unaware of Albert Kahn's massive contributions towards Henry Ford's success.

Ford, the most prominent of the early automotive pioneers, also was publisher of the infamous antisemitic newspaper “The Dearborn Independent,”

“What hath God wrought?" I doubt the Jewish internet czars mentioned care one bit for the damage created to civilization by their enterprise as long as the money keeps rolling in. Note for example, that Zuckerberg suddenly wanted to make nice with Trump after his re-election because he doesn't want his company to be either broken up or destroyed. As for Iran, under the present regime of Mad Mullahs they will continue to pursue nuclear weapons unless they are thrown out of office or killed by their long-suffering population.

Joseph told the wine bearer that his dream meant Pharaoh would let him out of prison in three days and restore him to his position. And he added: "Please, when you are restore, mention me to Pharaoh?"

The wine bearer forgot.

Enough said.
