TEXT FOUND IN JERUSALEM

A 3,000 year old shard of pottery with text on it was found in Jerusalem.  It will be interesting to see how the debate on this shard evolves.  If it is Hebrew writing that is quite significant.

AP WORLD HISTORY TEXTBOOK

A world history textbook used by the Advanced Placement Program contains one chapter on Islam and barely mentions Christianity and Judaism.  And I presume it does not deal with Hinduism or Buddhism to the extent they deserve either.

“If you don’t see it from the eyes of a parent, kids are going to take this book as gospel and believe that Christians and Jews were murderous barbarians and thank God the Muslims came along and the world is great,” he said.

For example, Workman said a reference to Mohammed and his armies taking over Medina states, “people happily accepted Islam as their way of life.”

ARCHAEOLOGY IN BIBLICAL TIMES

A "new" archaeology find indicating proof for King David is finally getting into the news. But the article also shows the "politics" of trying to substantiate historical truth in modern Israel and the Middle East.

Pictures on archaeology in biblical times.

JEW HATRED

You don't see this covered in the mainstream media.  A Jew was attacked by a Muslim on a New York City subway.

A harrowing scene occurred recently on the New York City subway when a group of teens approached and harassed a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke. The ringleader, a self-identified Muslim teen, threatened to kill the man and added, “They should have killed all of you.” When police confronted the belligerent 17-year-old at a stop in Brooklyn, a mob formed. As the crowd filmed the scene and yelled at the policemen, one young woman began beating a cop before being arrested.

RISING ANTI-SEMITISM

JEWISH SUPPORT OF OBAMA

Prominent Jews like New York City Mayor Ed Koch and Harvard law professor Allen Dershowitz have been very critical of Obama yet now they are supporting his reelection.  Why?

There’s a place for voters for whom strong support of Israel is the key issue—and that’s the Republican Party. But Israel’s security has long depended on backing from both parties. Without it, the Jewish state will rapidly become a partisan issue, and Israel will invariably pay the price. At a moment when Israel needs strong U.S. support, Koch, Dershowitz, and Saban are looking to postpone that day of reckoning.

We will see if this pragmatism pays off if Obama is reelected.  But the bottom line is that even Obama's Jewish supporters realize that the Democrat Party is going to dump them some day.

CHICAGO VALUES (AND BOSTON)

Someone sent me an article on the gay community's attacks on Chick-fil-A because its CEO supports a biblical definition of marriage.  I was going to ignore it, but I happened to look at the Drudgereport this morning.

Here is an article from the Chicago Sun-Times quoting Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emmanuel saying that Chick-fil-A was not welcome in Chicago. The company does not "reflect Chicago values."  The gay community does not want the company in Chicago.

But there is also on the same Drudge page an article on "Godfather Welcomes Farrakahn." As the Chicago Sun-Times reports:  Ignoring Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic remarks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday welcomed the army of men dispatched to the streets by Farrakhan to stop the violence in Chicago neighborhoods.  

So it is okay to be anti-semitic, but not okay to support a "biblical definition of marriage?"  And to solve Chicago's street violence problem, Emmanuel is turning to Farrakahn's values!  He sounds as naive as Germans and Jews in Germany in the 1930s who didn't believe Hitler would do what he said he would do.

The Boston mayor is opposed to Chick-fil-A because of the biblical definition of marriage comments, but he gives away city land to a radical Muslim group and attends the dedication!  This Muslim group believes in death for homosexuals!

PHOTO LAURA BUSH & HASIDIC LEADERS

Former first lady was airbrushed out of a photo with Hasidic leaders. Reminds me of Stalin airbrushing opponents out of pictures.
