Blinken told his stepfather’s story as a tale of one-sided U.S. beneficence, but Samuel Pisar remembers it differently: “I was saved by the Battle of Stalingrad, which was the turning point of the war, and the Red Army offensive,” he said in a 2010 interview with Russian media outlet RIA Novosti. “For me, during the Second World War, Russia was a savior. I consider my saviors to be the Russian and American armies. You can criticize Stalin, the Gulag, and other things that happened in Russia from 1920 to 1930, but the heroism, sacrifice, and victory of Russia in the war against Fascism cannot be questioned. It’s sacred.”
The official White House Instagram account published a photo of Biden meeting with Delta Force CAG operators in Israel. The issue is they forgot to blur out their faces.

Patriarchate of Jerusalem: Israel targets by bombing church institutions that provide humanitarian services in Gaza
Jerusalem 10-19-2023
This evening, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem issued a statement denouncing, in the strongest terms, the Israeli bombing that targeted one of its church buildings in Gaza City.
The Patriarchate stressed in its statement that targeting churches and its affiliated institutions, in addition to the shelters they provide to protect innocent citizens, especially children and women who lost their homes as a result of the Israeli bombing of residential areas during the past thirteen days, constitutes a war crime that cannot be ignored.
The Patriarchate indicated that despite the clear exposure to the facilities and shelters of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and other churches, the Baptist Hospital, schools and other social institutions, it, along with the rest of the churches, is determined to continue performing its religious and moral duty by providing assistance, support and shelter to people who need it, even amid the demands. The Israeli side continues to evacuate civilians from these institutions, and the pressures exerted on the churches in this regard.
The Patriarchate stressed that it will not abandon its religious and humanitarian duty derived from its Christian values to provide everything necessary in times of war and peace alike.
