AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם



I am obviously still very upset about yesterday’s mass killing in Pittsburgh to the point where I couldn’t even sleep until 3am. The fact that anti-semitism is still alive & breeding in this world gives me an uneasy knot in my stomach. And what’s worse is that media, news, and people of noteriety, are not using their voices to the best of their abilities to speak out for the Jewish people. To me it sounds like the Anti-Semitism back in the 1940’s (during WWII) all over again.....Infact, it sounds like every single Anti-Semitic tragedy that the Jews have gone through for thousands of years; dating from our enslavement back in Egypt, to the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, and till today....Yesterday’s tragedy wasn’t the first. Moreover, they are using this tragic event as a political argument to elevate topics such as; problems with white supremacy, the UN being in Israel, Gaza, about voting, about gun control, or about Donald Trump, etc— which I understand ARE issues, but why can’t we talk about the suffering of a people, and empathize with those people before we intermingle and make it about something else? Why is my suffering, & my people’s suffering silenced just because there are other problems out there in the world? And most importantly, why aren’t more people raising their voices for the Jews, speaking the truth, and not using their voice just to benefit their own agendas?...... #prayforpittsburgh #Jewish #Judaism

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
