Molly Pitcher was born on October 13, 1754 near Trenton, New Jersey. She married William "John" Hays on July 24, 1769, who fought in the Revolutionary War. During a battle, as Molly brought water to hydrate the men, some fighters were wounded, so she manned her husband's cannon, firing at opponents. This earned her the nickname "Molly Pitcher." She worked to support the troops throughout the war. Molly Pitcher died on January 22, 1832 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where a monument now stands in honor of her bravery.
Power point sample
The Motorcycle Diaries depicts Ernesto "Che" Guevara's 1952 South American journey that helped shape his views and inspire his revolutionary ideals. While the film portrays this formative period accurately and was praised for its cinematography, it provides an idealized view of Guevara that does not fully acknowledge his later controversial and violent actions in Cuba. As a revolutionary figure, the real Guevara was more complex than the youthful idealist presented in the movie, which is criticized by some for glossing over the full reality of his legacy.
Kennedy and civil rights
John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Wrapped In Jewish Pride.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: While the greedy and corrupt Palestinian leadership gets rich pocketing the West's endless "humanitarian aid," they keep the Palestinian people impoverished and helpless on a system of generational aid and in the squalor of refugee camps. During the chaos and disruption of World War II, with close to a hundred million victims, displaced persons, and refugees, the entire world—including the Jewish people who had six million murdered—went on and managed to rebuild their lives and contribute something back to the world. Except for the lone Palestinians, who have stayed frozen in time and dependence. Further, as they reject peace and call for the destruction of Israel and the endless killing of innocents, they continue to breed not only their despondency but, worse, a bottomless hatred and murderous evil in their hearts and minds.
We all need to hope and pray that Israel is successful in fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad because rest assured that they are waiting not just in marches and protests in our capitals and invasions across our borders but are ready to rampage and murder "the infidels" whenever and wherever they can. In the end, if you look aside in silence and acquiescence now, no one will end up safe in a radial Islamic world that puts its faith in and inculcates ongoing hate, intifada, and Jihad.

Liberals and the Middle East
This document discusses the author's perspective on Israel and liberal values. The author agrees with liberals on principles like democracy, human rights, and religious tolerance. However, the author believes many liberals unfairly criticize Israel as an apartheid or fascist state. The author argues that Israel protects freedoms like women's rights, gay rights, and freedom of speech that do not exist in neighboring countries. While acknowledging suffering on both sides, the author claims Israel uses force only in self-defense against existential threats and aims to promote the same values as liberals. The document urges liberals to reconsider their views and not unfairly demonize Israel.

This document summarizes and critiques commonly held beliefs about the Holocaust and argues that some aspects have taken on a dogmatic or sacred quality without sufficient evidence. It makes the following key points:
1) The figure of 6 million Jewish deaths is often asserted as an undisputed fact, but the document shows it was an early estimate that varied by over 1 million according to some historians.
2) Accounts of how the 6 million figure was determined contradict the available evidence and appear to be assertions of faith rather than based on facts.
3) Even some prominent Jewish Holocaust scholars have estimated Jewish deaths lower than 6 million, casting doubt on the idea that it is an indisputable figure accepted by all scholars.

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery but suffered a head injury from her overseer when refusing to help punish another slave. She later married and took her husband's last name of Tubman. Worried she and others would be sold, she escaped slavery in 1849 by following the North Star to Philadelphia. She made return trips to help others escape via the Underground Railroad, helping hundreds reach freedom. During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a spy and nurse for the Union forces in South Carolina.
From the Heart
The holocaust had a profound impact on Jewish communities in Europe. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, and sought to eliminate Jews and others he deemed undesirable. Over 6 million Jews were killed, as Hitler occupied many European countries and instituted policies of ghettoization, forced labor, and mass murder. Survivors struggled to rebuild their lives after enduring immense suffering and loss during this dark period of history.

The Israeli army raided the Al-Aqsa Foundation in Umm al-Fahm, removing thousands of historic documents that preserve Islamic and Christian heritage in Jerusalem. The documents are considered valuable from historical, cultural, and academic perspectives. Israel's actions have been condemned internationally and Palestinians are calling for pressure on Israel to return the documents. Friends of Al-Aqsa have also called on governments to intervene to ensure the documents are returned. Some fear this is an attempt by Israel to erase the historic rights of non-Jews in Jerusalem. Reports have also emerged of Israeli clerics calling for attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the murder of a prominent Palestinian peace activist.
