Volume 13, Issue 35:
"The word 'remember' appears no fewer than 169 times in the Hebrew Bible -- for memory is the constant obligation of all generations.
And today we pause to remember what President Donald Trump rightly called the 'dark stain on human history' -- the greatest evil ever perpetrated by man against man in the long catalogue of human crime.
The faces of a million and a half children reduced to smoke under a silent sky for the crime of having a single Jewish grandparent. The night Elie Wiesel called “seven times sealed” consumed the faith of so many then, and challenges the faith of so many still."
---- Vice President Mike Pence at the Fifth World Holocaust Forum
Jerusalem, Israel - January 23, 2020

** Killing Soleimani Will Not Stop Iran ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
** By Benjamin Weil / January 24, 2020
------------------------------------------------------------
Much has been said about Iran’s reaction and retaliation after the United States took out General Qassem Soleimani at the beginning of January. I argue that while we should prepare for possible Iranian reactions, we must focus on combatting Iran’s long-term threats as well. Qassem Soleimani was extremely skillful at building a network of resilient Iranian proxies across the Middle East and establishing military presence in the region. These tentacles that Iran spread have helped expand the Persian influence in neighboring countries and will allow Iranian missiles to cover larger portions of Europe. The assassination of Soleimani will not hinder the growth of this network but rather, will bolster Iran’s motivation to expand its influence across the region.
