"Na pewno nie należy tego mówić pochopnie i na pewno nie należy tego mówić w kręgach osób, które nie gwarantują tego, że to nie wypłynie na zewnątrz, dlatego, że kiedy mam złość do kogoś i potrzebuję to wypowiedzieć, ale nie jemu, to jeśli znajdę osobę, która będzie chciała ze mną o tym rozmawiać, to mogę to zrobić, ale jeśli nie chcę zranić tamtej osoby albo wyrządzić jej jakiejś krzywdy moralnej, to powinienem robić to tak, żeby to, o czym rozmawiam prywatnie pozostało prywatne."

Als Deutsche sage ich: Danke, Israel. Danke, Mossad. Gerade wird wieder einmal deutlich, warum Israel für uns alle ein unverzichtbarer Partner im Kampf gegen den islamistischen Terror ist. Der Mossad hat dem deutschen Verfassungsschutz eine konkrete Warnung übermittelt, dass Terroristen einen Anschlag in Deutschland planen. Die ZEIT berichtet heute von einem geplanten Hamas-Anschlag auf Juden in Berlin – und dass offenbar ein V-Mann des Verfassungsschutzes involviert war. Während deutsche Behörden also mit problematischen Informanten arbeiteten, hat Israel uns gewarnt und vermutlich ein Blutbad verhindert. Der jüdische Staat schützt jüdisches Leben in Deutschland – weil unsere eigenen Institutionen es nicht immer zuverlässig schaffen. Als Deutsche empfinde ich dafür tiefe Dankbarkeit. Israel kämpft nicht nur seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 einen existentiellen Überlebenskampf gegen die Hamas und den Iran – es teilt lebensrettende Informationen mit uns und hilft, Terrorzellen in Europa zu zerschlagen. Ich bin keine Jüdin, aber eine überzeugte Zionistin. Weil ich aus der deutschen Geschichte gelernt habe. Weil ich weiß, dass das Existenzrecht des jüdischen Volkes in seiner historischen Heimat auch meine Verantwortung als Deutsche ist. Und weil Zionismus für mich einfach bedeutet: Juden haben das Recht, in Frieden und Sicherheit in ihrem eigenen Staat zu leben – und das Recht, sich gegen Vernichtungsversuche zu verteidigen. An alle BDS-Aktivisten, Israel-Kritiker und „From the river to the sea“-Rufer: Wie fühlt sich das eigentlich an, wenn genau der Staat, den ihr boykottiert und als „Apartheidstaat“ verleumdet, gerade wieder Juden in Deutschland vor einem Hamas-Anschlag bewahrt hat? Fühlt ihr euch nicht wenigstens ein kleines bisschen unwohl? Oder ignoriert ihr diese Fakten weiter, weil sie nicht in euer Weltbild passen? Wer heute gegen Israel hetzt, steht auf der falschen Seite der Geschichte – und der Sicherheit. Antisemitismus endet nie nur bei Juden, er richtet sich immer gegen die ganze freiheitliche Gesellschaft. Danke an den Mossad. Danke an Israel. Am Israel Chai. #StandWithIsrael #DankeMossad #Zionistin #NieWieder #HamasTerror #AlsDeutscheFürIsrael #BDSHypocrisy

His name was Wilm Hosenfeld. He was not born a hero. Born in 1895 into a devout Catholic family in a small German village, he grew up kind, thoughtful, and faithful. Wounded in World War I, he became a schoolteacher, married a pacifist named Annemarie, and together they raised five children. He loved teaching. He loved his country. In 1933, believing Hitler would restore Germany’s honor, he joined the Nazi Party — a decision he would bitterly regret for the rest of his life. Sent to occupied Warsaw in 1940 at age 44, Hosenfeld’s illusions were brutally shattered. He witnessed families torn from their homes, Jewish children starving in the streets, and horrifying atrocities committed by his own side. Reading Mein Kampf for the first time, he was sickened. In his private diary, he wrote with trembling honesty: the extermination of the Jews was mass murder. Germany, he said, had brought an eternal curse upon itself. Shame alone was not enough. He chose action. By day, he was a Wehrmacht officer. By night, he became a quiet rescuer — hiding Jews, forging papers, and protecting the innocent. Among those he saved was Leon Warm, who had escaped a train to Treblinka. Then, in November 1944, in the shattered ruins of Warsaw after the Uprising, Hosenfeld entered an abandoned building and discovered a skeletal, freezing man hiding in the attic: Władysław Szpilman. When Szpilman whispered he was a pianist, Hosenfeld led him to a surviving grand piano. “Play something,” he said. Szpilman’s weak fingers found the keys and filled the ruined room with Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor. In that haunting moment, the war fell silent. Hosenfeld made his choice. He hid Szpilman, brought him food, a warm coat, and blankets. Before leaving Warsaw, he returned with a final supply of provisions and words of hope: the Soviets were coming. Hold on. In January 1945, Hosenfeld was captured by the Red Army. Branded simply as a German officer, he was sentenced to 25 years in a Soviet labor camp. All his acts of rescue were ignored. He died alone on August 13, 1952, at age 57, from a ruptured aorta — broken in body and spirit, believing the world had forgotten him. But the world had not. Years later, Szpilman’s memoir brought Hosenfeld’s story to light. Roman Polanski’s film The Pianist carried it to millions. After decades of effort by the families of those he saved, Yad Vashem posthumously honored Wilm Hosenfeld as Righteous Among the Nations in 2008. His diaries, later published under the title I Try to Save Everyone, remain a testament to his courage. Wilm Hosenfeld reminds us that even those who begin on the wrong path can find their way back to light. A man can wear the wrong uniform and still choose the right heart. In the ruins of Warsaw, a German officer heard a Jewish pianist play Chopin — and in that single, sacred moment, two broken strangers proved that no war, however savage, can ever fully destroy our shared humanity. That movie was exquisitely painful💔

My grandma is 98 and still more stylish than all of us 😭💚 Which dress should she wear to my wedding?

@Natalia_yael4 Yes, of course.

Would you visit Israel Tel Aviv after the war ? Yes or no

Polish MP Łukasz Litewka died while riding his bicycle. He was hit by a car. He was 36 years old. He was a huge animal lover. It's a shame.

I have absolutely no aptitude for foreign languages, and this came to me with remarkable ease. I wonder why.

Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty announced that on Wednesday he signed a decision penalizing Konfederacja MP Konrad Berkowicz for using an Israeli flag with a swastika in the parliamentary chamber. As a result, Berkowicz will receive half his parliamentary salary for three months. He likely won't be affected too much, considering the high parliamentary salary. And it certainly won't change his behavior, because, in my opinion, thinking here is out of the question.

Israel. 78. Resilient. Alive. Impossible to ignore. 78 years of regained sovereignty. We’re just getting started.

@NyereNevarez Unfortunately, this is a painful truth.

@I_Goldschmidt It will never be enough for the haters.

An Israeli soldier smashed a cross and a statue of the crucified Jesus in southern Lebanon. Photos of the incident, published on April 19, quickly spread around the world and sparked a wave of outrage. Not only internet users reacted but also politicians, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who condemned the incident. Now the army has announced the consequences: the perpetrator has been punished. But that's not all. The army has also decided to rebuild the destroyed symbol. Many will still argue that Jews are evil and that the only thing they deserve is death in camps and barns.
