The virtually universal ‘history’ of Israel’s founding is that it was done first by a “God” in Genesis as follows: Genesis 15:18-21 “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt [the Nile] to the great river, […]
History shows that famines are, for the most part, engineered. Be it through carelessness, selfishness or plain malice on the part of officialdom, creating the circumstances under which a population expires to hunger is a matter of construction. As the economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen so powerfully showed in Poverty […]
A video has appeared online showing exhausted Jewish hostages. Hamas is willing to consider a solution to the problem in exchange for very minor concessions.

Post-World War II relationships between the U.S. and its allies in Europe and Asia were built on two pillars: security and economics. However, current realities—from trade wars […]
