Great article, thank you. Too many people blindly follow whatever they hear from Amnesty International and the UN, which they take to be the gospel truth.

From the Telegraph: "Israel is a close ally of the West, it has a vibrant and innovative economy, and all Israeli citizens enjoy equal rights under the law. At present, an Israeli Arab party is even part of the country’s coalition government. To Israel’s critics, however, this counts for nothing. The hard-Left seems to be obsessed with Israel, behaviour that borders on anti-Semitic. NGOs such as Amnesty International devote questionable amounts of attention to the country, some say to the detriment of their work on egregious human rights abusers such as Russia and China."

A path to minding, and mining, our many ways. I began thinking of my wife's uncle who wrote about his liberation from Iraq to Israel in the 1950s. The journey to Zion is both real and metaphorical. In a much larger sense, this article provokes us to wonder about the Promised Land and the many journeys, individual and the many collectivities in which we find ourselves, we can and should engage. Thank you.

“I believe we live in a time similar to the transitional period of the late 1960s and 1970s.” - I’ll have to sit on this idea for a while

Read your bibles, it was prophesied twice that :

1. Luke 21:24-28 King James Version (KJV)

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

2. Genesis 9:27

God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”

3. Pslams 83

Says that all nations would be confederate in disconnecting the jews from their heritage, so that the nation of israel would be no more.

When Jewish people take a dna test it comes back Ashkenzai.

Wait, but in the bible Ashkenaz was a son of Japheth.

So their blood is Japheth but they claim Shem.

Our blood is Shem but they told us we are Africans(Ham).

We are in a land that we were brought to as slaves, and they can not tell us who we were before we got here.

They tell us we are africans, but africa is a continent of countries and before the white nations set foot their a continent of Kingdoms and Tribes.

The Africans Hamites, sold the Shemites(Negroes) to the Grecians(Japheth)

Joel 3:4-6

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon(Hamite), and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians(Japheth/Gentiles), that ye might remove them far from their border.

This is a disgrace. Every major human rights organization in the world has concluded that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid and persecution against the Palestinian population under its control. It is carrying out a brutal military occupation and engaged in the daily theft of Palestinian land, water, and natural resources. Why on earth would you try to justify this? Shame on you.
