@joekent16jan19 Bullshit, Joe. Steve Witkoff - the lead American negotiator - made clear the Iranians were intransigent and unwilling to make concessions. Are you calling him a liar?


JEWS AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION "The republic they helped create still stands as the greatest place on earth called The United States of America!" In today’s world of “podcasters” and fake news you often hear a narrative primarily from the Woke Reich referring to Jews as the "5th column, foreign invaders, foreigners", etc - but what they will never tell you is that Jews were an integral part of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. They weren’t outsiders scheming from the shadows. They were patriots who risked everything - fortunes, lives, families - when the colonies had barely 2,000 - 3,000 Jews among 2.5 million people. That’s less than one-tenth of one percent of the population. Yet their contributions were outsized, documented in letters, congressional records, and battlefield reports. They fought, they funded, they supplied, and they helped win a war that created the first modern republic to guarantee religious liberty to all. Let’s set the scene. By 1775, Jews had lived in the colonies for over a century. They came fleeing the Inquisition, Dutch tolerance experiments, and British restrictions. In Newport, Charleston, Savannah, Philadelphia, and New York they built communities as merchants, shippers, and traders. When the Stamp Act and Townshend duties hit, many saw the same tyranny they’d escaped in Europe. The Revolution wasn’t abstract for them; it was personal. The fighters Take Francis Salvador of South Carolina. Born in London to a wealthy Sephardic family, he arrived in Charleston in 1773 at age 26. Within two years he was elected to the Provincial Congress — the first Jew ever to hold public office in the American colonies. He pushed hard for independence. In July 1776, he rode 30 miles through the night to warn militia of a Cherokee-British attack - the “Paul Revere of the South.” Days later, on August 1, he was shot and scalped by Cherokee warriors allied with the British. He was 29. The first Jew to die for American independence - and the first elected Jew in the colonies. Mordecai Sheftall of Savannah was the highest-ranking Jewish officer. Chairman of the local revolutionary committee, he became Deputy Commissary General for Georgia and South Carolina troops. He used his own money to buy food, horses, and supplies. Captured by the British in 1778, he endured brutal antisemitic treatment as a POW — yet he never broke. His son Sheftall Sheftall later served as Assistant Deputy Commissary and left vivid accounts of the hardship. Sheftall’s family papers read like any patriot’s: sacrifice, loss, and unshakeable belief in the cause. Others followed. Lieutenant Colonel Solomon Bush of Pennsylvania was wounded at Brandywine and later became Deputy Adjutant General of the state militia. Lieutenant Colonel David Salisbury Franks served as aide-de-camp (even to Benedict Arnold before the treason). Captain Isaac Da Costa fought at Savannah and Monmouth. Surgeon Philip Moses Russell endured Valley Forge with Washington’s troops. In Charleston, the “Jew Company” militia had 28 Jews out of 40 men. Estimates put 100–160 Jews in uniform — a wildly disproportionate share. At least fifteen became officers, something impossible in most European armies. The financiers and suppliers Wars are won with money as much as muskets. Here the Jewish merchants stepped up when the Continental Congress was broke. Haym Salomon is the most famous — and deservedly so. Polish-born, he arrived in New York in 1775, joined the Sons of Liberty, and was arrested by the British as a spy. He escaped, made it to Philadelphia, and became the broker who turned French and Dutch loans into hard cash. Working with Robert Morris, he raised tens of millions in today’s dollars, personally underwrote obligations, paid troops to prevent mutiny, and helped fund the Yorktown campaign that ended the war. Conservative estimates credit him with more than $650,000 in direct support. He died penniless in 1785; the new nation never repaid him. Aaron Lopez of Newport outfitted more privateers and supply ships than any other Jewish merchant. His fleet ran the British blockade until the British seized most of it. Isaac Moses outfitted privateers and shipped gunpowder from Amsterdam via St. Eustatius. Michael and Barnard Gratz of Philadelphia loaned money and supplied uniforms. Joseph Simon provided rifles and munitions. Abigail Minis in Georgia fed troops and sheltered refugees. These weren’t faceless “bankers.” They were shopkeepers and shipowners who liquidated everything. Many lost their homes, businesses, and ships. They did it because the Revolution promised what Europe never had: equality under law, no religious test for office, “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance” - words George Washington would later write to the Newport synagogue, partly because of men like Lopez. Why it mattered - and why the myth persists The woke-reich narrative wants you to believe Jews are eternal foreigners, dual-loyal, or 5th-column schemers. The historical record says the opposite. When the colonies needed them, Jews chose America. They voted with their lives and wallets for a nation that didn’t yet exist. Their service helped prove that religious minorities could be full citizens. The 1780s state constitutions and the 1790 Bill of Rights reflected that reality. Some Jews were Loyalists - a few merchants like the Franks family in New York hedged bets - just as some Christians were. The overwhelming majority backed independence. That’s not conspiracy; that’s human beings making choices in a revolutionary moment. Today, when podcasters peddle “Jews control the banks/finance/wars,” they ignore that the first major Jewish financier of an American war died broke after saving the Continental Army. They ignore the scalped corpse of Francis Salvador on a South Carolina battlefield. They ignore Colonel Sheftall rotting in a British prison while feeding Patriot troops out of his own pocket. The American Jewish Historical Society and books like Samuel Rezneck’s Unrecognized Patriots document every name, every receipt, every wound. Primary sources — letters to Congress, Washington’s correspondence, British governors’ reports - confirm it. No serious historian disputes the record. The real story of America Jews didn’t “take over” the Revolution. They joined it. They helped birth a country where a Jew could one day sit in Congress without converting, where a synagogue could stand beside a church as equals. That experiment succeeded because enough people - Jewish, Christian, Deist - believed liberty was indivisible. So the next time you hear the 5th-column lie, remember Mordecai Sheftall buying horses for starving troops, Haym Salomon keeping the Yorktown campaign alive, Francis Salvador bleeding out for a country he’d known for only three years. They weren’t invaders. They were founders. Remember their Names Haym Salomon - Prime financier and broker to the Continental Congress and French forces; raised and personally advanced over $650,000 (tens of millions in today’s dollars) to fund the army and the Yorktown campaign. Mordecai Sheftall - Colonel; highest-ranking Jewish officer; Deputy Commissary General for Georgia and South Carolina troops; supplied food, horses, and provisions using personal funds. Francis Salvador - Member of the South Carolina Provincial Congress (first Jew elected to a colonial legislature); militia fighter; first Jew killed in the Revolutionary War (1776). Benjamin Nones - Lieutenant Colonel; fought at Saratoga and other major engagements; taken prisoner by the British. David Salisbury Franks - Lieutenant Colonel; aide-de-camp and staff officer in the Continental Army. Solomon Bush - Lieutenant Colonel; Deputy Adjutant General of Pennsylvania militia; wounded at Brandywine; early and long-serving officer. Isaac Da Costa - Captain; fought at the Siege of Savannah and Battle of Monmouth. Philip Moses Russell - Surgeon to George Washington’s troops; served through the hardships of Valley Forge. Aaron Lopez - Major merchant and ship owner; outfitted numerous privateers and supply vessels to break the British blockade and support the army/navy. Isaac Moses - Merchant; outfitted privateers, supplied provisions, and provided significant financial backing to the Patriot cause. Michael Gratz - Philadelphia merchant and supplier; loaned money and provided uniforms/provisions to the Continental Army (along with brother Barnard Gratz). Joseph Simon - Merchant and supplier; provided rifles, munitions, and other war materials to the army. Jonas Phillips - Merchant and Patriot supporter; provided supplies and served as a delegate advocating for the revolutionary cause. America’s story is bigger than any single group, but it is richer because Jews were there from the beginning - not as foreigners, but as patriots who bet everything on the radical idea that all men are created equal. That bet paid off. The republic they helped create still stands as the greatest place on earth called The United States of America! @SloanRachmuth @EliAfriatISR @VividProwess @SharonC97936831 @Justachirpin7 @AkaLazarus @ImperviousWolf @Liberty5315 @VoteRandyFine

Meet the niece of deceased Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani—and learn something about a regime that lives in two worlds at once. Marco Rubio has (yes!) terminated the legal permanent resident status of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter. Her husband has also been barred from entering the United States. Soleimani Afshar was an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime while living in the United States—leading a lifestyle that, in Iran, can get a woman jailed. Her posts praised attacks on American forces, endorsed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and repeated regime slogans, including denunciations of the United States as the “Great Satan.” She also publicly supported Iran’s new Supreme Leader. At the same time, she documented a comfortable lifestyle in Los Angeles on her now-deleted Instagram account.
