I was a fan of the last Pope. He was probably a rabid Jew hater, like most people in Poland, but I read almost everything he ever wrote that was published in English. He was an extraordinary thinker but lacked the power to set his servants free from the abuse the Catholic Church heaps onto [...]

Here, I must call attention to the fact that there is a profound difference between my criticism of modernism and the perspective from which I make my argument, and that [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Monday, 4th of September 2006 at 05:09:29 PMI had never read about or seen the works of Lilien until the above depiction of Abraham caught my eye. I am not certain what made me take note of it at first, but closer inspection and thought makes it obvious. He is Abraham with his hand on his chest looking in amazement at [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Monday, 28th of August 2006 at 11:46:55 AMArab nations, known for deep, soul searching, terrorism introspection. Yeah right. Well, look-e-here. “Our extreme joy at their departure made us forget the most important question: What is our next step?” he went on. I am happy for them, someone finally stated the obvious, the major plot point of Paradise Now is not lost!

It does not tell us much we cannot surmise: there are some Arabs in Israel that wait for the day they no longer live in Israel. However, response 8 translates a response to the Hebrew version of [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Tuesday, 22nd of August 2006 at 08:43:18 PMI have always wondered if the creation of Israel simply gave the Arabs a more physical and tangible excuse to keep up behavior they had already been up to. Did land become a euphemism for anti-Jewish hatred? I am trying to find more reading on the subject, but a good place to start is a [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Monday, 21st of August 2006 at 08:42:42 PMWhile Mr. Ahmadinejhad is a handsome older gentleman, he scares the crap out of me. I keep seeing this picture of a total and utter wasteland where Tel-Aviv once was (because you know they will not set off a nuclear device in al-Quds for fear of offending you know who) and Jews on ships trying [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Friday, 18th of August 2006 at 09:18:26 PMAnother article on how Israel is held to another standard. Bottom line: Israel is strongly warned to allow – indeed facilitate – the ongoing murder of its citizens so as not to risk the possible death of an Arab/Muslim civilian. And if these critics selection of who should live and who neednt live is not [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Thursday, 17th of August 2006 at 09:26:24 PMCool notes about Israel, from my larger, recent, trip log: People say Shabbat Shalom as a greeting on Fridays and Saturdays – I know this sounds like a strange thing to comment on, but the first time you hear it you realize: Jews!!

First of which is astonishment at the mix of old and new, of peace and war, and the applicability of ancient time honored tradition in the lives of modern men. You can read more about the history of tefillin, there [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Friday, 11th of August 2006 at 08:38:43 AMNathan (flourished 10th century BC) Prophet at the courts of David and Solomon in ancient Israel. In II Samuel, God establishes his covenant with David through Nathan, who also appears rebuking David for taking Bathsheba from her husband.
