🇩🇪✡️⚡️German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivers emotional speech at Munich synagogue reopening

With a kippah and tears in his eyes, Chancellor Friedrich Merz spoke at the reopening of the Munich synagogue, expressing deep concern over the resurgence of antisemitism in Germany. He said he hopes “one day Jewish life in Germany can function again without police protection” and declared: “I declare war on every form of antisemitism. Antisemitism must not be shielded as freedom of art, culture, or any other field.”

Merz admitted feeling ashamed “both as Chancellor and as a German,” and recalled that an entire generation of Jews in Germany has known public Jewish life only under strict security measures. He warned that the October 7, 2023 massacre exposed how some newcomers were socialized in environments where antisemitism is near state doctrine, and that since then Germany has faced a renewed wave of antisemitism—open and covert—across social media, universities, and public life.

Speaking on behalf of the federal government, Merz vowed to do everything possible so that Jews across Germany can “live, celebrate, and learn without fear,” and urged all citizens to uphold the promise of “never again” as a collective historical duty.

🇺🇸⚡️U.S. Secretary of State Rubio hopes the situation in Ukraine will not lead to sanctions against Russia.

🇨🇴🌹🫶💊🧂 — Colombian President Gustavo Petro, alongside Lula, advocates for legalizing cocaine in Latin America

➡️ Colombian President Gustavo Petro (Human Colombia, left) advocated for the legalization of cocaine last Tuesday (September 9, 2025). He delivered the speech alongside President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Workers' Party) in Manaus, during the inauguration of a new security center for the Amazon.

"If cocaine were legalized worldwide tomorrow, there would be no mafia. And there would be no destruction of the Amazon rainforest. This is a topic for discussion, and Latin America should discuss it shamelessly,"

📝 In February, he had already said that cocaine is illegal because it is produced in Latin America and not because "it is worse than whiskey."

🇯🇵⚡️The Japanese government announced that the number of centenarians in the country has reached a record 99,763 people aged 100 and older as of September 15, marking the 55th consecutive year of growth in this demographic.

Japan is home to 36.19 million elderly people aged 65 and over, accounting for a record 29.4% of the total population. Forecasts indicate that, at current birthrate, employment, and immigration levels, Japan could see a population decline of 45% by 2100, along with a 52% drop in employment.

The total fertility rate in the country fell to just 1.15 in 2024, far below the replacement level of 2.1 needed to maintain population stability.

🇺🇸❌🇨🇴💊 — US Department of State harshly criticizes criticizes Petro's failed "Total Peace" policies, which have led to the expansion of dozens of narcoterrorist groups in Colombia since he took office as president

Under Petro’s misguided leadership, coca cultivation & cocaine production in Colombia has increased to historic levels.

The U.S. is grateful to Colombian law enforcement and security forces who confront the narco-terrorists and we commend their courage, skills & sacrifices.

POTUS has determined that the Colombian government failed to uphold its drug control obligations, but he has issued a waiver so critical U.S. cooperation, including on counternarcotics, can continue. Results matter - we must see progress and it must be soon!
