In the first year of our 2-year Feeding America Multi-Donor Senior Hunger Grant, Feeding Northeast Florida has staged monthly mobile pantries at Morris Manor and delivered kosher food boxes to First Coast Holocaust survivors as part of our continued efforts to address senior food insecurity in our area.
If you failed to speak up when entire families were burned alive, you don't get to call for a ceasefire.
If you failed to speak up when babies were sexually assaulted and beheaded, you don't get to call for a ceasefire.
If you failed to speak up when holocaust survivors were tortured and slaughtered in their own homes, you don't get to call for a ceasefire.
If you failed to speak up when young adults who attended a PEACE festival were raped and butchered, you don't get to call for a ceasefire.
If you failed to speak up to return the hostages, you don't get to call for a ceasefire.
You don't get to call for a ceasefire. STFU.

Nothing to do with Business Funding…
Everything to do with being a good human being…
Have seen this clip in the past and think most of you may have as well but this time, deciding to voice my thoughts.
Think about all the positive impact and influence compounded from those 669 lives saved.
What we do daily cannot be measured or compared to the merits of what Sir Nicholas Winton did for those people.
But if we could carry the same heart in principles would we not leave the world in a better place because of our actions?
I am certain this is just one of countless good deeds he has done over his lifetime… it’s just one that has been identified recognized and shared… can you imagine all the other good things he’s probably done?
Angels live amongst us, within us… whatever it is you do, do it in kind and in service to others.
Doing and being good doesn’t mean only in charity or volunteering. You can be for profit and still do and be good.
No comparisons on how significant or insignificant, just action with good intent.
Thank you Sir Nicholas Winton, who knows if i’ve been on the receiving end of any kindness that stemmed from the infinite ripple effects of your kind actions…
I am grateful for your wife in sharing your story so I have the opportunity to have learned about you and be positively influenced… and grateful for Alvin for sharing which spurred me to voice and share my thoughts today.

Holocaust sites play a pivotal role in keeping the memory of survivors alive and respecting the dignity of victims. At a time when there are fewer survivors, this message takes on greater significance. This is precisely what led to the launch of the IHRA Charter for Safeguarding Sites.
The IHRA Charter helps governments understand the challenges facing sites while working with relevant stakeholders and using expert-led mitigation strategies to safeguard these sacred grounds well into the future.
We call upon governments to assume ownership of their history. Time is running out; let’s act while we still have the chance.

From the point of view of philosophy, state theory, psychology, and neurology, hatred is the worst property of human society, which is also the most powerful tool for political elites to use to manipulate, abuse, and destroy their own people and other people to gain political control and other interests, to meet their special psychological needs. We see this throughout the history and today.
The only way to solve any world's major conflicts is to start reducing hatred. We have seen some good examples in Germany and Japan after WW2 and Vietnam after the Vietnam War. All the other discussions outside the court, such as accusation, peace, justice, geopolitics, etc. will only intensify the conflicts. This is what happening now in the Middle East. The world, especially a large fraction in the West is foolish on this now. Good intention is pushing more suffering and killing.
Regardless of what has happened, reduce and remove hatred first!
In times like these, we reflect on the messages of our Holocaust survivors, like this one from the late Eddie Jaku.
Eddie always spoke about the dangers of hate and the importance of kindness, tolerance and respect.
