Jackson Jambalaya

Enough is enough.  Tired of the hatred for all things Jewish at Columbia, 540 Jewish students at the Ivy League school stood up to the hate they have experienced since October 7.  Unlike the protestors who hide behind masks, they signed their names to a letter describing their treatment at their own university for the past seven months while making a damn good defense of what it means to be Jewish.  The letter is posted below.

 Stubborness versus truth. It's a conflict that plagues us since the beginning of time.  Unfortunately, the world today is amoral and rejects truth.  What is one to do in such a world? The late Dr. Frank Pollard offered some advice in the 1996 sermon posted below.  Enjoy.

Yom HaShoah, “Holocaust Remembrance Day,” was May 6 this year. Many of us commemorated six million Jews who were brutally starved, gassed, burned, shot, and tortured between 1933 and 1945 before Allied forces liberated 23 primary concentration camps along with literally thousands of other kinds of camps where Nazis terrorized, tormented, and terminated “undesirables.” Never forget!

During last year’s elections he championed Medicaid reform to benefit the working poor. This year, with the House finally ready to act, he threw a monkey wrench into the works. Hosemann said he is for Medicaid expansion, but only if it includes a work requirement.

 The Capitol Police issued the following statement. 

October 7 was the worst day for Jews since the Holocaust as Hamas butchered over 1,200 people and wounded thousands more.  What stood out was the sheer savagery of Hamas as they massacred men, women, and children.  Scores of women were raped and mutilated.  Victims and corpses were paraded naked in the streets.  A true day of horror. However, such should not be forgotten as time passes.  

Former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg produced Screams before Silence, an hour-long program about October 7.  Rape victims, first responders, and former hostages tell their stories of how Hamas made Jewish women their sexual toys, often before killing them. The video is posted below and is well worth the watch.
