๐ฎ๐ฑ | Statement by the Embassy of Israel in Lithuania Regarding the Planned Publication of "Mein Kampf" in Lithuanian
The Embassy of Israel in Lithuania expresses its deep shock and dismay at the intention to publish and distribute Lithuanian translation of Adolf Hitlerโs Mein Kampf โ the toxic manifesto that laid the ideological foundation for the systematic annihilation of millions of people, including approximately 95% of Lithuanian Jewry.
At this particular moment, as the world witnesses an alarming and unprecedented surge in antisemitism, Holocaust distortion, hate speech, and extremism, a fundamental question must be asked: Is making the Nazi manifesto even more accessible to the general public truly what society needs right now?
While we recognize the importance of academic and historical research, there is a profound difference between controlled scholarly study and the commercial distribution of a hateful manifesto on bookstore shelves. For the Jewish community in Lithuania, which still bears the deep scars of the Holocaust, this book is not merely a theoretical historical artifact โ it is the ultimate symbol of genocidal hatred.
The Embassy of Israel calls upon the publishing house and all relevant stakeholders to demonstrate historical sensitivity and public responsibility, and to reconsider a step that deeply offends the memory of the victims and undermines our shared commitment to combating antisemitism and intolerance.

This weekโs elections reaffirmed what #Israel stands for: a vibrant, pluralistic democracy where every citizen has an equal vote and a voice.

At 6:29 a.m. on October 7, 2023, Palestinian Hamas terrorists invaded Israel.
They stormed communities, murdered families in their homes, raped, burned and kidnapped.
Three years on, Israel remembers the victims and the barbarity of Palestinian jihadist terrorism.
We will never forget.

You kept calling them journalists. We knew they were terrorists.
Here are the facts:

Yesterday, what could have ended in tragedy was prevented thanks to the courage and quick response of the Israeli passengers, as well as the professionalism of the brave pilot and the relief crew who took over. Their actions saved the lives of all 180 people on board!
The choice of this flight is also significant. An attack on a flight connecting Israel and the UAE is an attempt not only to target Israeli civilians, but also to undermine the ties and spirit of peace represented by the Abraham Accords.
Jot going to happen. Israel and the UAE will continue to strengthen their relationship, and terrorism will not dictate the future of our region.
Jihadists may seek to reach Israelis by air or on the ground. This is the meaning of the chants to โGlobalize the Intifada.โ They must not be allowed to succeed!

This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ช
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

On the left is Netanel Shakron, 48, a father of six who went with his son to immerse in a natural spring on Yom Kippur eve.
On the right is Qadri Samara, 37, a Palestinian terrorist who went out the same day with a machine-gun to murder Jews.
Both men went to do what they considered sacred.
Their paths crossed at that natural spring. Samara opened fire, murdering Netanel in an act of Palestinian terrorism - in front of his 16-year-old son, Yoav.
In his final moments, Netanel saved Yoavโs life: โDad, thank you for giving me my life.โ
May Netanelโs memory be a blessing. ๐ฏ๏ธ

Hey @grok, how diverse is Israel actually? Break down the population by Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze - and explain who gets to vote.

Pay-for-slay is still official Palestinian Authority policy.
As Euractiv reports, โIt is not a phasing-out of the pay-for-slay policy. Rather, the money has gone underground through a systematic effort to make these channels covert and clandestine."
European taxpayers money should not bankroll a system that rewards murder and terror.

Sixteen kilometers of terror beneath Gaza.
Hamas built an underground military fortress to attack Israel, imprison Israeli hostages, and stockpile weapons.
Part of the vast terrorist infrastructure that enabled the October 7 massacre.
Above it: homes, schools, mosques, clinics, and a UNRWA facility.
This is how Hamas wages war.

On the International Day for Countering Hate Speech, the world received a particularly troubling reminder: swastikas and hateful messages were reportedly printed in yearbooks at a UN-affiliated school in New York.
While the United Nations continues to hold discussions on tolerance and combating hatred, antisemitism continues to surface even within institutions associated with it.
The fight against hate cannot be selective.

Madam,
With all due respect, even in your remarks here you refrain from denying or condemning what has been attributed to you and published publicly. That speaks for itself.
To the best of my knowledge, the statements attributed to you regarding โapartheidโ do not reflect the position of the European Union.
The matter is simple: if you did indeed make these vile and defamatory statements, stand behind them.
If you did not make them, deny it.
Until this matter is cleared up, my decision will remain unchanged.
Dear Gideon, as you know, the EU and Israel have a lot that binds us. I value our dialogue and engagement, and Iโm open to continue in that spirit, respectfully and constructively. Dialogue is the foundation of diplomacy, especially when differences arise. The EU is always committed to a constructive relationship with Israel.
To bring peace to the Middle East, the Two-State Solution remains the only viable path. The EU has condemned the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank that make it increasingly difficult to get to that goal. That is the EU position.

Great to host my friend Lithuanian FM @BudrysKestutis in Jerusalem.
We agreed to work together to realize the full potential of our economic and technological ties.
I showed him footage of the underground terror infrastructure that Hezbollah built on our border. These bases are intended for invading Israel. The Hezbollah terror state within Lebanon must be dismantled for the future of Lebanon and Israel.
I showed the FM a map used by the PA in an elementary school in Hebron demonstrating the PAโs incitement against Israelis and Jews.
I also described the ongoing policy of payments to terrorists and their families, which is distorted.

Started my visit to #Israel by honouring the #Holocaust victims at @yadvashem in #Jerusalem.
#YadVashem reminds us how easily humanity can descend into crime - and gives hope that even in the darkest times we can resist moral collapse. By remembering the victims, we commit to ensuring such tragedies never happen again.
