Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...VII
“Nautikos, I'm afraid that there is much ignorance about this subject among people of all faiths; and I would guess that an awful lot of them would just as soon remain ignorant about it rather than have to face possibilities and probabilities. ” TAPS I offer this comment by TAPS at the outset of...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...VI
I suggest that, collectively, Jews and Muslims tend to have a deeper sense of history than Christians. Christians may ‘know’ history, Jews and Muslims ‘live’ it, primarily because in Judaism and Islam the history of their respective ‘tribes’ is an integral part of the faith. Based on history alone,...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli child-killers...V
There are moments in history when events follow an inner logic, displaying an inexorable thrust which no human agency can deflect. Such moment came with the end of WWII. What had been a trickle of Jewish migration to Palestine before turned into a flood! Men, women and children, the survivors of the...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli Child-killers...IV
In the previous post I spoke of the ‘creation’ of Israel. But, in the interest of historical accuracy and to forestall a descent into the kind of debate which arises from the charge that ‘The Jews stole the Arabs' land’, let me add to that and be very blunt about this: The Jews did not steal the...

Hamas' 'Mickey' and Israeli Child-killers...III
What began as a ‘Tidbits’ reject and ended up here in ‘View’ because it is too serious, is threatening to turn into a series. (New readers will have to go back a couple of posts to make sense of the title.) I don’t have much time for this, but will probably do it anyway. Reflecting on what I appear...

Notes on the ‘murder’ of Hamas’ ‘Mickey’ by an ‘Israeli child-killer’...II
The minimal reaction to my previous post suggests two possible conclusions: either Blogit bloggers are really not interested in serious matters, or they don’t care to read about serious matters concerning Israel. I would certainly hope it’s the former, but I cannot completely discount the latter....

Hamas TV kills off Mickey Mouse double...I
A Mickey Mouse lookalike who preached Islamic domination on a Hamas-affiliated children's television program was the victim of a pretend beating death in the show's final episode Friday. In the final skit, the "Farfur" character was killed by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy...

Blogger Flips Over Olympics...
When I first posted this earlier today, it had the title ‘Olympic Reflections’. But the indifference to my ‘reflections’ appears to be so monumental that I am taking a page out of several other people’s playbook here in Blogit and introduce the term ‘Blogger’ in the title, in the hope of attracting...

Rescuing Your Enemy...
A few days ago, we were witnesses to an event in the Middle East which, in my view, did not get the attention it deserved. In a nutshell, Israel opened her doors to let in 150 or so members of Fatah about to be slaughtered by their Hamas ‘brethren’ in Gaza. My initial, momentary and unthinking...

Towards a New Conception of God...
In his recent book, Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason and Religion, Stuart A. Kauffman writes: “Is it, then, more amazing to think that an Abrahamic, transcendent, omnipotent, omniscient God created everything around us...in six days, or that it all arose with no transcendent...
