Hi guys,
Just links to my countries presentation and Israels defense with regards to claims of Palestinian genocide at the ICJ for those who are interested.
Hopefully I will get to viewing it this weekend.

My appreciation for @Bharat Jhunjhunwala and learning from him.
@Bharat Jhunjhunwala whom I have known about a year now. I've been sharing what I've learned from @Bharat Jhunjhunwala research while also asking questions.
Also how to have a...
Hi there,
I am interested in hearing peoples motivation behind discussing the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Why is it popular in discourse and what motivates people to support either side, often with such emotional investment, especially if they are not Israeli or Palestinian?
And why do...
GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOW ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD'S WORD!
According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those who choose to have faith in His Word. In the new covenant scriptures, I would like to pose that...
In a disheartening incident that shook the holy city of Bethlehem, the Church of the Nativity, a revered Christian site, was desecrated by a group of Muslim youth, leading to its closure on a somber Sunday. The incident has ignited a wave of protests by concerned citizens demanding...
No politics, please. This is a thread celebrating Israel.
Today is Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day. Israel is now 75 years old!
The festivities start on the night before with a national ceremony in Jerusalem which includes twelve people from all walks of life who have contributed...
I really want to go to Japan and South Korea (70%) but 30% of me would prefer to visit Israel and Jordan because the climate is better and the food is superior.
What is there to do there ?
Amman, Petra and Jerusalem definitely sound interesting but I was told Tel Aviv is overpriced.
I plan on making this into a reference thread. That way I don't have to repeat the same information or better yet allow me to refer others to this.
The first point I would like to make is about the English term "Hebrew" and how it can be confused some incorrect "westernized" concepts. There was...
Judaism DIR:
Happy Yom Yerushalayim!
AKA Jerusalem Day, commemorating the tremendous Israeli victory during the Six Day War and the return of Yerushalayim (besides for large areas of land) to Jewish control for the first time in 2000 years.
Here's a short video about the fighting in...
Today is the Israeli Memorial Day (Yom HaZikaron in Hebrew) when we remember all those who have fallen during military service or during terror attacks. Memorial Day in Israel is a big deal. I think much more so than in the West. Few are the people here who don't have any personal ties to people...
Another terror attack in the current wave of terror took place last night in Israel. This is the fourth terrorist attack in the last few weeks.
2 killed as terrorist opens fire on Tel Aviv bar; security forces hunting for gunman
From the article:
Two people were killed and several were...
*If you don't get the reference, clearly you need to brush up on your Harry Potter lore. As it is written: "Clearly, fame isn't everything" (Kai Petraeus Philisophus)
Today I took part in an archeological survey in the Sharon region of Israel, in a place called Tel al-Mukhmar. The idea of the...
I mean, we visited Megiddo yesterday (and Beit She'an and Tel Rechov)...:p
There were some Christian tourists there as well. Hey, everyone wants a piece of doomsday, right?
Some pictures:
A side-entrance and a former spring that may have been used by the locals:

I couldn't think of a creative title. I have failed you all.
Anyway, like the title says, this is in Journals, and I don't post here much (this is only the second time I've made a journal entry-thread here, I think). Just wanted to share some thoughts. This is about politics and archeology, but...
This is a 6 part series on Abdul'baha. It is well done and explains much detail about Abdul'baha. They are around 20 minutes to half an hour each
I really enjoyed them, good quality, great archived pictures and newspaper articles, pleasant sound and well narrated.

The first account of Israel's resurrection is in the prophet Ezekiel. "Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My...
Recently, a challenge has been made about whether or not it is possible to identify who is really a Jew. The reality is that among Torath Mosheh and Orthodox Jews there has never been a problem in identifying who is a Jew. The reason is very simply. The definition of such was first provided by...
