In April 1941 Nazi Germany created a puppet state in occupied Yugoslavia called the Independent State of Croatia. Within weeks its leaders — a fascist movement called the Ustaše — had begun one of the most savage campaigns of ethnic extermination of the entire WWII era. They murdered between 300,000 and 700,000 Serbs, Jews, and Roma in four years. Their methods were so brutal that even senior Nazi SS officers filed formal complaints about the violence. This is the genocide almost nobody talks about.Image
The Independent State of Croatia — known by its Croatian initials NDH — was established on April 10, 1941 following the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia. It was led by Ante Pavelić, a fascist lawyer who had spent years in exile in Italy and Hungary preparing for this moment. The NDH immediately passed racial laws modeled on the Nuremberg Laws targeting Serbs, Jews, and Roma. Its stated goal was a ethnically pure Croatian state — to be achieved through conversion, expulsion, or extermination.Image
The centerpiece of the Ustaše extermination program was the Jasenovac concentration camp complex on the Sava River — the largest concentration camp in the Balkans. Unlike Nazi camps which used industrial gas chambers, Jasenovac was characterized by hand to hand killing — knives, mallets, and axes. Prisoners were worked to death, drowned in the Sava River, or killed individually by guards who competed among themselves for kill counts. An estimated 77,000 to 100,000 people were killed there.Image

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "The Case for Judicial Reform in the State of Israel?

After receiving a lot of questions both from Israelis and Diaspora Jews, it seems there are a lot of people who simply do not understand the issue. So, here it goes.
1)
The real question that has never been fully answered in Israel is what the role of the High Court should be in a Jewish and Democratic Republic, which the State of Israel is intended to be.
2)
Why is this subject important? Because the degree to which a judicial system works well depends on the ability of it to be trusted by the people it is supposed to serve.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "In a sense, Erdogan, the president of Turkey, is a greater threat, or even more, to the region and the West as a whole than Iran.

Why?
1)
Since Iran openly says what its goals are, without language etiquette, without pretending to be moderate, while Erdogan, the main global sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood, the man who gives shelter to terrorist organizations from the leaders of Hamas to Al-Shabab and
2)
Boko Haram, the supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood's government in Tripoli, Libya, and those who added to the militarization of northern Cyprus, parts of Somalia, and more, while building the largest army outside the U.S. and building a massive arms and military industry,

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I Have an Interesting Question for Israelis.

I just read an article in which the person writing claimed that Israel faces a serious food problem because food is so much more expensive than in European nations.
1)
He used one example -- chicken, which he said was about ₪38 per kilo.

So I decided to look up what chicken averaged in Italy, Germany, France, and, surprise, it was about the same price per kilo as it is in Israel. Only Portugal was less, almost half.
2)
In any case, I think the prices are too high and that Israel can do better, but people commenting on prices should attack the problem and not post comparisons that are so easily disproven."

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote on June 18, 2026: "Today, June 18th, is the opening of the 'Obama Presidential Center.'

In Chicago. I wonder why it is not called a 'library' like others for Clinton, Bush, etc.
1)
Sorry, but the building does not appeal to me. It is, in my opinion, ugly, and I wonder why it was chosen."

But the big issue that I have seen is that subcontractors in the building process have not been paid, and several are saying they will have to declare bankruptcy.
2)
One plumbing contractor claims he is owed $4 million and that the loans he took out to pay for employees and materials will go into default soon.

No, the ceremony is "invitation only," and no, I was not invited. Anyone surprised?

Most people have heard or used the term UNCLE TOM when we refer to a sell-out, but did you know that the inference is totally wrong.

The real Uncle Tom was a hero, Josiah Henson, was an abolitionist who helped slaves escape among other great things.

A THREAD Image
Uncle Tom was a man:
—who refused to beat black women.
—who refused to tell on other slaves.
—who would put cotton in other slaves’ bags at night, so that they wouldn’t get beat!
—who helped 100 slaves get free long before the underground railroad. Image
Josiah Henson was born into slavery in 1789 in Charles County, Maryland. Growing up he watched his father receive beatings for standing up to his slave owner and also witnessed his father's ear being severed as part of the punishment and also his father being sold off.

Hodges: Crimea dominates the Black Sea, it's why Catherine the Great took it in the 18th century. If Russia holds it, they block access to the Azov Sea and disrupt everything out of Odessa.

It's in the interest of all of us that Ukraine regains control of Crimea. 1/
Hodges: Crimea is doable. The geography that makes it important also makes it vulnerable. Ukraine now has the range — drones, missiles, weapons platforms — to touch every target.

No airfields, no logistics bases, no radar safe. There is no place to hide on that peninsula. 2/
Hodges: Isolation of Crimea is picking up speed. The Kerch Bridge is so weakened Russia cut heavy traffic over it. Northern bridge systems are hit every day. Convoys reroute — more vulnerable.

That's why you see pictures of Russian convoys on fire on social media almost daily 3/

Kuleba: In Brussels, European leaders were stunned by Ukraine's strikes on Moscow. To say they were impressed is to say nothing.

But I was told some leaders are frightened by Ukraine's strength, they see strategically what kind of powerful player is emerging on their doorstep 1/
Kuleba: The effect is triple. They're glad Ukraine hits back hard. But they see a new Ukraine forming — one that will join the EU and will be a force.

And they're terrified about what happens with Russia next. Europeans fear uncontrolled developments there. It paralyzes them. 2/
Kuleba: They realize they're absolutely helpless. They don't influence Ukraine's approach toward Moscow.

And Ukraine today has real levers to launch an uncontrolled spiral accelerating the death of the Russian empire. This scenario genuinely unsettles the Europeans. 3/

Parshat Korach
Numbers 16:1–18:32

Korach intentionally incites a mutiny, an insurgency challenging Moses’ leadership and the granting of the kehunah (priesthood) to Aaron.
1)
He is accompanied by Moses’ major political foes, Dathan and Abiram. Joining them are 250 distinguished (wealthy) members of the community, who offer the ketoret (incense) to prove their worthiness for the priesthood.
2)
There is an argument that what Korach did was not wrong, that he was advocating for equality and democracy.

Kuleba: Hungary's Magyar blocked five EU negotiation clusters with Ukraine. But he is not Orbán.

He faces huge domestic pressure from Fidesz supporters accusing him of selling out Hungarian interests. He boasted publicly because he needs to contain that pressure at home. 1/
Kuleba: Magyar wasn't alone. Behind him, other EU members gladly hid — including some who welcomed Zelenskyy in Brussels with smiles.

Two reasons: Ukraine is too large and will have too much influence. And the EU itself is not ready for such a major enlargement. 2/
Kuleba: The key news to watch for is not individual cluster openings. It's when the EU changes how it functions — reforms its own rules and adapts itself for Ukraine's accession.

That will be the decisive moment. Everything else is important but not the real obstacle. 3/

The sexologist who pioneered gender identity ideology, and gender clinics in the US during the 60s, photographed 6 year-old boys acting out "sexual rehearsal play" and wrote positively about pedophilia.

"The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Department of Health and Human Services, United States Public Health Service has supported the author (John Money) in psychohormonal research for 38 years"

The modern equivalent of many millions of dollars Image
One grant given to John Money by the US government at taxpayers' expense in 1963 - $205k from the NIH -is worth $2 million today.

To research the idea that boys could be castrated and turned into girls.

To this day Money is quoted favorably on the NAMBLA website. Image
