Science began as man’s humble and fumbling mix of astrology and astronomy in their attempt to gain power over the future by understanding and predicting it–i.e. the seasons and the calendar. The population would pay any price to know optimally when to plant, when to sow and when to reap. Predicting the future empowered the…
My response posted 2020.03.16 in Arutz 7 (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/25381). While it disqualifies non-Jews, “from among your brothers” did NOT imply “native-born” Israeli in the days of Mosheh and the Erev Rav of the Yetziah. Adding this racist element that contradicts Mosheh and Tanakh (you shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk) is a recent–racist–reform…
(Originally titled: “Your Continual Instant Pulse On Covid-19 In Israel”) Table (below) and subsequent notes updated daily. A couple of day ago I made a mental note that the number of new cases over the past 24 hours was around 20, and that was slightly less than 1/hr. Now, the number of new cases over…
Current mechanisms of Western-style Democracies, particularly the U.S. and Israel, continue to cause their populations to gravitate to a repeating loop of polarization that pits one half of a country against the other half. While the tripartite governmental system in the U.S. (legislative, judicial & executive) is working through the impasse, the bipartite Israeli system…
Belated Purim Sameiakh! Just uploaded next week’s Parashah (begins this coming Motzaei Shabat), finishing Shemot. (You SHOULD BE following each week’s parashah on any Jewish calendar, online or (in late summer) in Jewish bookstores, gift shops and funeral homes. Also edited-in an additional headline in the “Briefing For Parents” for newbies who may not realize…
It appears that, for the last several weeks, perhaps related to Israeli election dirty tricks, Facebook has suppressed my responses in ynetnews and other media. Perniciously, the responses show up normally on my computer to make me think everything is normal. But the response doesn’t appear on other computers. Ergo, here is my response to…
What a surprise to discover that the Trump team conclusions perfectly reproduces the plan I’ve been advocating—Concurrent Village Network of (sans the tunnels) non-contiguous, demilitarized, semi-autonomous, Arab Muslim-Jihadist protectorate enclaves comprising Areas A and B—that I’ve advocated in various Israeli newspaper and other posts for more than 30 years as the only realistic and viable…
GOP appears transfixed like a deer in the headlights between a dilemma of providing a serious judgment of the House of Reprehensibles’ two impeachment articles, which would put the Senate’s imprimatur on the two charges, versus the national need to expose the House’s non-serious political antics by judging both articles as frivolous, without legal standing…
14C Dating brings us to near certainty that the Kallistae Eruption Coincided With the Yetziah; and in chronological vicinity of the Tempest Stele. It won’t be surprising if future, more precise, data again moves the needle of the actual date of the eruption forward to BCE 1550 or even 1540. Demonstrating that the two events…
Jews whom we Jews know, and Jews the world sees, are very different. The Israeli “Right” has augured in law that the (Ultra-Orthodox) Khareidim are appointed the sole judges defining who and what is a “Jew”: imposing their racist DNA-definition and post-Holocaust European standard of a Jew; their anti-education, anti-history and anti-science arrogance; their haughty…
For the last שבת in 2020.03: Just uploaded BTS (Bedtime Tanakh Stories) for Parashat wa-Yeqeheil, at http://www.netzarim.co.il/FYSFJBBS/Briefing%20For%20Parents.htm
The Parents’ Syllabus for teaching Bedtime Tanakh Stories hit another (it’s become routine) snag when the post-Torah (i.e. Writings) sequence reached the 13th Shō•pheitꞋ: Shi•mᵊsh•ōnꞋ. There are those who have argued that Dâg•ōnꞋ was a “grain-god”, not a fish-god, alleging that the story is, therefore, myth. So I had to research the Minoan religion from…
I’ve uploaded and update to the following Live-Link, which I hope you’ll find an interesting and worthwhile read: eish

Aliens & UFOs? Discovery, Discovery Science & History Channels Gone Off Rails Been wanting to get this off my chest for a very long time. Just haven’t gotten around to it until now. According to Discovery, Discovery Science & History Channels, aliens, ancient aliens, and UFOs are infesting our skies globally. There seems to be…
