If you have never heard of Witold Pilecki, you should. He was a member of the Polish army, intelligence officer and freedom fighter, best known for volunteering to be a prisoner at Auschwitz to set up a resistance network. He was executed by Polish Communists after the war. I admire his bravery.

I've made a Starter Pack for research & insight into antisemitism, extremism, conspiracy theories and similar unpleasant but important things. I'm sure I've forgotten people & I'll add more as I go along, but as the name suggests - it's a start! go.bsky.app/L3v2Zp9

They have given themselves the supreme advantage at the opening stage.
Hezbollah & Israel bombarding each other this morning:
- 210 Hezb rockets + 20 drones
- 100 Israeli air strikes
- Hezb promising further fire
So Hezbollah started retaliation for last months strike that killed a senior commander, but the Israelis knowing it was imminent began to hit launch sites
