  October 7, 2023 is a day that will be remembered in Israel like September 11, 2001 is remembered in America. Interesting, there is a link between the events that most Americans are not aware of. On October 7, 2001 airstrikes targeting Al-Qaeda and the Taliban had begun in Afghanistan. For Hamas and other Islamic terrorists’ groups, it has another meaning – it was the beginning of the war they won against America. By October 30, 2023 pro-Palestinian anti-Israel protests were taking place around the world. Find out what Earth Day 1970, John Rawls, and a Supreme Court Justice have to do with those protests.

  Reporters use the modern generic English word “God,” instead of the names Jews, Christians, and Muslims use -- Yahweh, the Trinity, and Allah. If reporters used the correct names, their reports would place the credit or blame on identifiable groups. The differences in their “gods” have been a primary factor in many of the wars that Jews, Christians, and Muslims have fought against each other for many centuries. There is a way to resolve this problem! Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/98da910c9ac1/a-new-way-to-protect-lives-and-strengthen-societies

  An article I read in a science magazine stated that for the last 191,700 years, humans like us have lived on the earth. DNA samples and archaeological discoveries played key roles in the research behind the statement. There is a 171,700-year gap in which all we know about humans comes from archeological discoveries. 20,000 years ago, some Ice Age individuals adorned an assortment of surfaces across France and Spain with representations of regional prey animals, from bison to birds to fish. 14,500 years after the representations in the caves were made, the earliest confirmed form of writing was made -- 3,000 years before the Second Temple in Jerusalem was built.   Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/ae04f3e231a8/discover-the-primary-drivers-of-wars

  When people around the world heard what happened on October 7, 2023, and began seeing pictures and videos about what happened they knew something evil had taken place. People that were usually on polar-opposite sides of issues agreed on that. Hamas said that the above things were not true, even though they posted videos of the crimes themselves on social media. Propaganda creators know that “ the attention spans of Americans are measured in seconds and minutes .” They have been “flipping the script” with weaponized misinformation since then – most Americans are completely unaware of it.

  One day after the attacks people around the world were trying to process what happened. one week later, American college campuses had students protesting against Israel’s response to the attacks -- “Israel is committing genocide! Israel is violating human rights.” This is a situation in which the skills we use Exploring the Bible and Biblical Heritages come in handy. A very important skill is identifying and tracking “ unintended cascading factual consequences ” ( UCFC ). There are always multiple versions of an event and endless speculations .

  A word is a group of symbols with an attached bundle of associations . This is a very important guideline we use to explore the Bible and Biblical Heritages. “ Israel ” is a word that has been in languages around the world for thousands of years. Most people connect the word “Israel” to the Bible, but they know very little about Israel today. Look at these maps and numbers – then think would happen to Israel without the support of the United States and other nations.

  Today, making accurate distinctions between hate, hate crimes, anti-Semitism, and race is very important. Hate is regarding other people with extreme ill-will, having a passionate aversion to them, or treating them as an enemy. The word "crime" in “hate crime” is often a violent crime. “Anti-Semitism” and “race” are much more complicated. Scientists today, using powerful computer technologies, know much more about humans as genetic creatures. Continue reading at -  http://mailchi.mp/647315e2405b/hate-hate-crimes-anti-semitism-and-race
