    Default This week is Purim on the Jewish calendar

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Here is my contribution to combatting anti-Semitism.

    Because who wouldn't want to watch a movie about Byelorussian Jewish partisans killing Nazi soldiers?
