A powerful image for Holocaust remembrance: Imam Hassen Chalghoumi of France visiting Auschwitz. Chalghoumi, who chairs the Conference of Imams of France, was also part of a European imams’ delegation to Yad Vashem last year, where the group toured the Holocaust museum in Israel, laid a wreath, and lit the eternal flame in memory of the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
This is what strong interfaith leadership and true allyship looks like. Not silence, not historical revisionism, but true remembrance, solidarity, and the courage to confront antisemitism openly.
In the middle of Times Square, a billboard remembering the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust stands as a public statement of memory and conscience.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, it reminds the world that behind that number were lives, families, names, and entire communities destroyed. This message is even more relevant today, as antisemitism continues to surge around the world.
We will not sit silently and allow history to repeat itself.

As the siren sounds on Yom HaShoah, Israel comes to a standstill. Cars stop, people stand in silence, and a nation pauses to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
Ceremonies at Yad Vashem and around the world, including the one held at Auschwitz by March of the Living, carry that memory forward globally.
On this day, we honor the lives of all 6 million Jews, and the millions of other innocent souls, who were taken because of genocidal hatred. May all of their memories be blessed. 🕯️
October 7th hero Roman Gofman is Israel’s new Mossad chief. Israel approved his appointment this week, noting his role in bravely rushing south to protect and rescue Israeli communities during the Hamas massacre.
On Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the six million Jewish lives, among millions of others, stolen in the Holocaust. We must never forget the countless families, communities, and futures that were destroyed. According to Haaretz, 106,000 Holocaust survivors live in Israel.
We honor the memory of those who were murdered, the courage of those who survived, and the enduring obligation to confront antisemitism wherever and however it appears.
Antisemitism is a dangerous scourge on society and must not be allowed to continue putting Jews at risk.
May the memories of all the millions murdered always be blessed. 🕯️
Hezbollah turned a hospital into a war zone. The IDF says its troops uncovered a weapons cache inside a hospital in Bint Jbeil, after identifying Hezbollah operatives using the facility for surveillance and firing at Israeli forces from inside.
The military says it neutralized the gunmen and that 20 terrorists were later eliminated within the hospital area to remove an immediate threat.
Hezbollah has embedded its infrastructure deep inside civilian areas across Lebanon.
This is the terrorist playbook: exploit civilian sites for cover and turn civilians themselves into human shields. Hospitals are supposed to save lives, and Hezbollah uses them for terror activities.
A ceasefire with Iran is not a free pass for Hezbollah.
Hezbollah launched attacks into northern Israel and continues to operate as a heavily armed Iranian proxy from Lebanese territory. That’s why Israel is still acting in Lebanon: to counter Hezbollah’s launch capabilities, disrupt its command networks, and reduce immediate threats to communities in the north.
The bigger picture is straightforward. Israel isn’t operating in Lebanon at random, but trying to stop an Iran-aligned terror force from further entrenching itself on the border and continuing attacks on civilians.
Badass hero.
After losing both of his legs from severe injuries sustained while fighting in Gaza, Matan Misan refused to give up.
Now, the Israeli double amputee veteran is training to compete on Israel’s version of Ninja Warrior, and turning pain into strength and proving that resilience is not just surviving, but pushing forward with unbelievable courage.
