For those who do not know, there is a photo of bloodied hands describing the Democrats floating around Facebook and probably across social media after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and so many celebrating his death.
1) People are fed up with their violence and projection.

What many people do not know, even those who support Israel in her existential war against Hamas, is there is another meaning for red bloodied hands that is used by the Democrats today.

Deuteronomy 26:1–29:8

PARSHAT KI TAVO, like much of Torah, operates on several levels.

Question: What has been done since that has ended religiously motivated terrorism and evil?

Answer: Nothing.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "While normal people feel bad about a political assassination, TikTok has been filled with short videos of people laughing about the murder of Charlie Kirk—laughing and celebrating.

And who are these people? Well, the TikTok videos mostly featured people with piercings in various parts of their faces and bodies, and

I don't mean just political or even cultures shared. I mean a place where the people really feel an affinity to the USA.

Take a guess. I bet you'll guess the UK, France, or maybe Canada? You would be wrong.

It seems some people are learning that there are consequences to their freedom of speech. Let's look at public employees, for example.

@fredforthemets Absolutely! Roger Froikin @rlefraim asked an uncomfortable question about what should be done about the terrorists in Israeli prisons.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "WHAT TO DO ABOUT TERRORIST PRISONERS?
1) @fredforthemets @rlefraim This is an issue that few seem to want to discuss realistically, so that is what we should be doing now.

The State of Israel is often put in a position where it has to consider releasing terrorists from prison in exchange for innocent Israels that have been kidnapped and

מכתב פתוח למדינות ערב

יש לכם את הכוח, את הסמכות, מבחינה תרבותית, דתית וכלכלית, לחולל שינוי באזור. לפני כל דבר אחר, עליכם לפעול כדי להיפטר מהטרור, מאלה שמעודדים, תומכים ומממנים טרור.

A lot of literature has been developed asking this question. Both Jews and Gentiles have expressed amazement that after all the massacres, genocidal efforts, forced conversions, and
