By now I truly and deeply understand my mother wisdom, most of her family was sent to Auschwitz, her mother was killed on the way with a riffle but because she did not move fast (at least that what I was told). Few months after she married my dad who was an officer in Romanian army in Cavalry unit, he was sent to Bessarabia to a stone quarry as a slave worker. His back was filled with deep scars, he never wanted to talk about them as a kid when asking, changing the subject. A cousin and Auschwitz survivor, was trying to speak about the gruesome acts witnessed – my mother was shutting hm up. On his wife they experienced, she died of cervical cancer when I was still a youngster. To date I do not know what happen to most of my family, now I am alone without anyone, no one of the family members that survived wanted children, only my mother. My mother language is German, as she was from Bucovina NE Romania, once part of Austro-Hungary, I went to German school – I wrote about it already on SI. My mother steadfastly claimed that a % of primitive vulgar mob does not make a nation and cannot erase a country heritage and culture. Arriving in Israel with 70Kg of belongings my dad and her worked in construction to earn a living, in Yerucham in the Negev desert, it took a while until we somewhat recovered economically. In her youth she was a Zionist, it evaporated. Therefore, the events now in Israel are shocking and painful, the mob rules, the white-collar criminals roam free, the Judiciary is worthless, as are many other law enforcement entities. How it came about to this so sad point it is hard to accept and internalize, no one can comprehend this and myself even less, more so because I believed in this country risked my life in covert operation, crossed enemy lines because I needed too. Ok so I received citations from Armor Corps and Signal Corps Command (there are photos on my FB page) Now I also understand why District Judges made fun of me when bringing up what I did for this country in my defense for steling part of my bought RE property. The photographs in my previous post speak for themselves, and not sure if anyone reading this senses my shame anger and delusion. I wish I was younger my biggest mistake was coming back from NYC and care for my mother. I had no choice, I was her only relative, no one was willing to cover her healthcare in NYC even that she paid lifelong health care insurance.

either true, or propaganda cannot tell at such distance and with so much noise to signal zerohedge.com Pilots Tell Israeli News Channel They Flattened Gaza Buildings To "Vent Frustration" According to a report in Israel's prominent Channel 12 news outlet, multiple Israeli pilots which were engaged in bombing operations over Gaza during this month's eleven days of fighting voiced that they often leveled entire buildings to "vent frustration". A series of pilots were interviewed under anonymity so they'd be willing to speak more freely on things like the controversial 'roof tapping' procedure which warns residents in buildings to get out minutes before they are pummeled, as well as the air force's techniques for entirely flattening buildings. Al-Sharouk tower collapses, via AFP/GettyA total of nine high-rise buildings had essentially collapsed in their own footprints during the bombardment, including the al-Jalaa media building which housed Associated Press and Al Jazeera offices. This would often involve a series of precision strikes at specific angles aimed at a structure's base. Additionally multiple hospitals and other health facilities had also been hit during the aerial campaign which in all took 248 Palestinian lives, among these 66 children, and wounding close to 2,000 more. One Israeli pilot, identified only as "Major D" in the Channel 12 report, stunned by saying he sought to intentionally level entire towers as "a way to vent frustration" over Hamas' rocket fire and attacks on Jewish Israelis. "I went on a mission to carry out air strikes with a feeling that destroying the towers is a way to vent frustration over what is happening to us and over the success of the groups in Gaza," the pilot explained according to a translation in Middle East Eye. Major D added: "We failed to stop the rocket fire and to harm the leadership of these groups, so we destroyed the towers." The report further detailed that Israel's military says the intent of such tower-leveling actions is "to damage Hamas assets" but also "to deter the terrorist organizations in Gaza from continuing to launch rockets at Israeli cities." As for the rocket count from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Israel's defense ministry has tallied nearly 4,000 rockets over the period between May 10 and May 21 - after which the current ceasefire (which is over 5 days in) took effect. As Palestinians return to their destroyed homes in Gaza after the ceasefire, an Israeli pilot said destroying Gaza's residential towers was a way of "venting frustration." pic.twitter.com/OmRnLutHBb — AJ+ (@ajplus) May 25, 2021 While many of these rockets were brought down by the Iron Dome anti-air system, which the US has committed to replenishing for its closest Mideast ally, an unprecedented number scored hits in urban and residential areas, killing 12 civilians and injuring hundreds.
