Chuck Yeager: Broken Ribs, Broom Handles, and Glamorous Glen. The Unbelievable True Story Of The Hero Who Broke The Sound Barrier

At the age of 97, retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General pilot Chuck Yeager died on December 7th 2020. His wife, Victoria Yeager, announced his passing.

I am from that he generation who learned about Chuck Yeager from seeing “The Right Stuff.” He was the badass of all badasses during that era. I’m going to have a stick of Beeman’s in his honor. We definitely do not produce men like this anymore in this nation. I’m the son of a WWII vet and I understand how far we’ve slid. They were absolutely the “Greatest Generation.” Kids need to be taught their story, although I am pretty sure that they are not, and will not be taught about the shared sacrifice, bravery, and heroism of Americans during WWII.

Modern Maccabees: Scope of Jewish resistance to Nazis highly underestimated

I’ve never understood why these stories aren’t better known. We get movies like “Schindler’s List” about non-Jews saving Jewish lives, but very little, aside from “Defiance” and a few TV movies many years ago, about the many many examples of Jewish resistance. Schindler, and those like him, was a hero. But the perception that Jews went to their deaths without fighting back is wrong.

Study: More than one in 10 Americans under 40 thinks Jews caused the Holocaust

Holocaust knowledge particularly low in New York, despite state having the largest population of Jews in the US

This is just pathetic. In New York it’s nearly 1 in 5. Our education system is terrible, but this happened because teaching Jewish history, WWII, and European history doesn’t happen at all in American schools. Antisemitism hit record levels in recent years. The total lack of recognition of “Jewish” as a separate ethnic identity (as opposed to the ridiculous and dishonest ideas of “white Jews” or “Jews of color”) is part of the reason why both are happening. Bigoted Jewish stereotypes are becoming normalized (again) because there is very little being taught that is authentically Jewish. The result is ignorance.

Why The West Bank Is Not ‘Palestinian’ Land

The community of Beit El in Judea and Samaria. Photo: Wikimedia Commons. “Who can challenge the rights of the Jews …

“Yet the Post isn’t alone in de facto deciding in favor of Palestinian claims. An August 14, 2020 Vox article by Alex Ward (“Kamala Harris’s foreign policy, explained”) incorrectly asserted that the Jewish National Fund (JNF) “played a major role in pushing Palestinians out of their lands to make way for the State of Israel.” This is, in every sense, ahistorical.

In fact, Jews are from Judea and Samaria, an area that only in the last half-century or so has been referred to as the “West Bank.” The Jewish presence in the land of Israel predates that of the Arab and Islamic conquests in the 7th century — by thousands of years. Further, that presence has been continuous. Indeed, in Jerusalem, for example, Jews constituted a majority of the inhabitants since the 1840s — long before the 1901 creation of the JNF.

Another important but omitted fact: much of the land that Jews acquired was purchased from Arabs, including from several notable Palestinian Arab families. As the historian Benny Morris noted in his 2008 book 1948: “A giant question mark hangs over the ethos of the Palestinian Arab elite: Husseinis, as well as Nashashibis, Khalidis, Dajanis, and Tamimis … sold land to the Zionist institutions and/or served as Zionist agents or spies.” These families, many of whom would lead opposition to the existence of Israel and the right of Jewish self-determination, secretly sold land to the very movement that they denounced”

Why Seth Rogen’s Anti-Israel Rant Matters

Seth Rogan told Marc Maron that support for Israel is outdated thinking. His opinion rests on a deep ignorance of the history of Israel and the Jewish people.

Seth Rogan’s total ignorance is typical of what results form the typical non-religious Jewish “education” in the United States. I know that because I grew up in that world. To put it in secular terms, it would be like if we took the comments of someone who has a kindergarten education seriously who was speaking about physics. Rogan (obviously) knows NOTHING. Which explains the entire generation of American, progressive, millennials with similar views about Israel. They know even less than even my anemically Jewishly educated generation.

This article makes that case incredibly well.
