[IsraelTimes] Milestone achieved with the help of survivors and relatives worldwide; most of the remaining million names will likely never be found, the Holocaust memorial center says.
For the Jew-hating idiots who doubt whether the Holocaust happened.

What I'd like to see taught in Israeli schools: "It wasn't their first attempt to solve the "Jewish Problem", and it's definitely not their last. And, every time they fail, they hate us more."

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck Afghanistan, 45 km from Mazar-i-Sharif. The tremors were recorded on the night of November 3. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) issued an " orange " alert, warning of possible further damage.
Soon after, Khaama Press, citing local authorities, reported that two children died in the Shulgar district when their home collapsed during the tremors. Furthermore, landslides were reported in Samangan province, blocking the Samangan-Bahl highway, trapping several cars under the rubble. Damage was also reported to the historic mausoleum in Mazar-i-Sharif, known as the Blue Mosque, one of the country's main symbols.
[MSN] In 1979 South Africa was a prosperous but troubled nation. Social tensions were high, the country was under international trade embargoes, and most pressingly, they were engaged in a high-stakes insurgency conflict, which touched all aspects of life in the region. Whether it be aiding neighbouring Rhodesia in its own insurgency war, fighting rebels on the border, or repelling Angolan MiGs - the South Africans, with their small, lightly equipped, but deadly fighting force, become a fearsome military in the region. Their level of efficiency is demonstrated to be not unlike the Australian Defence Force. Today we look at the intense air wars South Africa fought from 1966 onward, in a series of increasingly intense border conflicts with insurgents from Namibia, Angola, Zambia, and within South Africa itself!
[Newsmax] President Donald Trump says that Chinese President Xi Jinping has given him assurances that Beijing would take no action toward its long-stated goal of unifying Taiwan with mainland China while the Republican leader is in office.
Trump said that the long-contentious issue of Taiwan did not come up in his talks with Xi on Thursday in South Korea that largely focused on U.S.-China trade tensions. But the U.S. leader expressed certainty that China would not take action on Taiwan, while he's in office.
“He has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, ‘We would never do anything while President Trump is president,’ because they know the consequences,” Trump said in an excerpt of an interview with the CBS' program “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday.
U.S. officials have long been concerned about the possibility of China using military force against Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.
The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed U.S. relations with the island, does not require the U.S. to step in militarily if China invades but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status by Beijing.
Asked if he would order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan if China attacked, Trump demurred. The United States, both Republican and Democratic administrations, have maintained a policy of “strategic ambiguity” on Taiwan — trying not to tip their hands on whether the U.S. would come to the island's aid in such a scenario.
“You’ll find out if it happens, and he understands the answer to that,” Trump said of Xi.
The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House also did not provide further details about when Xi or Chinese officials have conveyed to Trump that military action on Taiwan was off-the-table for the duration of the Republican's presidency.
The "60 Minutes" interview was taped on Friday at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. It marked Trump's first appearance on the show since he settled a lawsuit this summer with CBS News over the newsmagazine’s interview with Kamala Harris.
