In the modern 21st century, it is so easy to dismiss biblical and other such writings as all so much superstitious tosh. We tech savvy folks don't need any old crapology as we head to our cyborg destiny. But what if we modern scientific folks are throwing the baby out with the proverbial bath water? The menace of mullah run Iran - Nazis in thought and deed - are throwing a party for dark entity types in celebration of their taking of power. Soon after their arrival in Tehran, hard core Islam with it's 7th century religious laws were imposed. Women and men were forced to abide by dress codes, women’s basic rights were taken away, women judges were fired from court, the "moral police" filled the streets; music and dancing were banned, and dissenters were murdered in their thousands inside and outside the country. Around 2000 years ago, when the Romans were doing their barbarian bit in Israel, Judea and Samaria - renaming it *Palestine for starters - some Jews had already fled to the desert and were busy writing about the final war between the sons of light against the sons of darkness a.k.a. the Dead Sea Scrolls. Now, after 2000 years, the history of the world has so far been scored thus: Sons of Darkness 300; Sons of Light 2. With the help of Obama the Faker, Iran will get it's nukes; so which camp would you place the Illinois Illusionist in?

Was born a Jew, but changed sides. The history is written from a Roman perspective but is still well worth reading. |
Historical Note: The last Jewish revolt against the Roman occupation of their land, lasted for 4 years at an estimated human cost of 600,000 Jews and thousands of Roman soldiers. (Futher
reading: The Wars of The Jews)
. The suppression of the revolt cost Rome so dear that after quelling it, Emperor Adrian, in order to punish the Jews and to eradicate the Jewish people from any identity to Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) - did an 90% ethnic cleansing of Jews from their land. And for good measure, ordered the renaming of Israel and Judea to "Palestine". The trick was this: the "Palestinians" were a non-semitic people who had originally come to from Greece; and as they were not a Semitic people, the renaming killed two birds with one Roman stone! However, round 10% of Jews never left, though most were scattered around the globe for the next 2000 years. The rebirth of Israel in 1948 was not just a recognition of the Holocaust; it was as much in recognition of the Jewish peoples' historical and religious roots and rights to this land.
(PS: The Arabs never arrived here until the 7th century. Calling themselves
"Palestinians" only began
after the Arabs got collectively thrashed by the Israelis in the Six Day War of '67).
