As Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman refuse to back a ceasefire, if you’re not calling for an end to violence between Israel and Palestine, aren’t you on the same side as warmongers such as Clinton, Bush and Obama?

I covered the birth of Jewish fascism in Israel. I reported on the extremist Meir Kahane, who was barred from running for office and whose Kach Party was outlawed in 1994 and declared a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States. I attended political rallies held by Benjamin Netanyahu, who received lavish funding from right-wing Americans, when he ran against Yitzhak Rabin, who was negotiating a peace settlement with the Palestinians. Netanyahu’s supporters chanted “Death to Rabin.” They burned an effigy of Rabin dressed in a Nazi uniform. Netanyahu marched in front of a mock funeral for Rabin.
Prime Minister Rabin was assassinated on Nov. 4, 1995, by a Jewish fanatic. Rabin’s widow, Lehea, blamed Netanyahu and his supporters for her husband’s murder.
Netanyahu, who first became prime minister in 1996, has spent his political career nurturing Jewish extremists, including Avigdor Lieberman, Gideon Sa’ar, Naftali Bennett, and Ayelet Shaked. His father, Benzion — who worked as an assistant to the Zionist pioneer Vladimir Jabotinsky, whom Benito Mussolini referred to as “a good fascist” — was a leader in the Herut Party that called on the Jewish state to seize all the land of historic Palestine. Many of those who formed the Herut Party carried out terrorist attacks during the 1948 war that established the state of Israel.
Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Sidney Hook and other Jewish intellectuals, described the Herut Party in a statement published in The New York Times as a “political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to Nazi and Fascist parties.”

There has always been a strain of Jewish fascism within the Zionist project. Now it has taken control of the Israeli state.
“The left is no longer capable of overcoming the toxic ultra-nationalism that has evolved here,” Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, warned in 2018, “the kind whose European strain almost wiped out a majority of the Jewish people.” Sternhell added, “[W]e see not just a growing Israeli fascism but racism akin to Nazism in its early stages.”
The decision to obliterate Gaza has long been the dream of Israel’s crypto-fascists, heirs of Kahane’s movement. These Jewish extremists, which make up the ruling coalition government, are orchestrating the genocide in Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians are dying daily.
They champion the iconography and language of their homegrown fascism. Jewish identity and Jewish nationalism are the Zionist versions of blood and soil. Jewish supremacy is sanctified by God, as is the slaughter of the Palestinians, whom Netanyahu compared to the Biblical Ammonites, massacred by the Israelites. Enemies — usually Muslims — slated for extinction are subhumans who embody evil. Violence and the threat of violence are the only forms of communication those outside the magical circle of Jewish nationalism understand. Millions of Muslims and Christians, including those with Israeli citizenship, are to be purged.
A leaked 10-page document from the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence dated Oct. 13, 2023, recommends the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
It is a grave mistake not to take the blood-curdling calls for the wholesale eradication and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians seriously. This rhetoric is not hyperbolic. It is a literal prescription. Netanyahu in a tweet, later removed, described the battle with Hamas as a “struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness, between humanity and the law of the jungle.”
These Jewish fanatics have begun their version of the final solution to the Palestinian problem. They dropped 12,000 tons of explosives on Gaza in the first two weeks of the assault to obliterate at least 45 percent of Gaza’s housing units, according to the U.N.’s humanitarian office. They have no intention of being detoured, even by Washington.
“It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign,” The New York Times reported.
“In private conversations with American counterparts, Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II — including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki — to try to defeat those countries,” the paper continued.
The goal is a “pure” Israel, cleansed of Palestinian contaminants. Gaza is to become a wasteland. The Palestinians in Gaza will be killed or forced into refugee camps over the border in Egypt. Messianic redemption will take place once the Palestinians are expelled. Jewish extremists call for the Al-Aqsa mosque – the third holiest shrine for Muslims, built on the ruins of the Jewish Second Temple, which was destroyed in 70 CE by the Roman army – to be demolished. The mosque is to be replaced by a “Third” Jewish temple, a move that would set the Muslim world alight. The West Bank, which the zealots call “Judea and Samaria,” will be formally annexed by Israel. Israel, governed by the religious laws imposed by the ultra-orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism parties, will be a Jewish version of Iran.
It is a short step to total Israeli control over Palestinian land. Israel’s illegal Jewish settlements, restricted military zones, closed highways and army compounds have seized over 60 percent of the West Bank, turning Palestinian towns and villages into ringed ghettos. There are over 65 laws which discriminate directly or indirectly against Palestinian citizens of Israel and those living in the occupied territories. The campaign of indiscriminate killing of Palestinians in the West Bank, many by rogue Jewish militias, along with house and school demolitions and the seizure of remaining Palestinian land will explode. Over 133 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by the Israeli army and Jewish settlers since the Oct. 7 incursion by Hamas and thousands of Palestinians have been rounded up by the Israeli military, beaten, humiliated and imprisoned.
Israel, at the same time, is turning on “Jewish traitors” who refuse to embrace the demented vision of the ruling Jewish fascists and who denounce the horrific violence of the state. The familiar enemies of fascism — journalists, human rights advocates, intellectuals, artists, feminists, liberals, the left, homosexuals and pacifists — are already being targeted. The judiciary, according to plans put forward by Netanyahu, will be neutered. Public debate will wither. Civil society and the rule of law will cease to exist. Those branded as “disloyal” will be deported.
Fascists do not respect the sanctity of life. Human beings, even from their own tribe, are expendable to build their deranged utopia. The zealots in power in Israel could have exchanged the hostages held by Hamas for the thousands of Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons, which is why the Israeli hostages were seized. And there is evidence that in the chaotic fighting that took place once Hamas militants entered Israel, the Israeli military decided to target not only Hamas fighters but the Israeli captives with them.
“Several new testimonies by Israeli witnesses to the October 7 Hamas surprise attack on southern Israel adds to growing evidence that the Israeli military killed its own citizens as they fought to neutralize Palestinian gunmen,” Max Blumenthal writes in The Grayzone.
Tuval Escapa, a member of the security team for Kibbutz Be’eri, Blumenthal notes, set up a hotline to coordinate between kibbutz residents and the Israeli army.
Escapa told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that as desperation began to set in, “the commanders in the field made difficult decisions – including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages.”
The newspaper reported that Israeli commanders were “compelled to request an aerial strike” against its own facility inside the Erez Crossing to Gaza “in order to repulse the terrorists” who had seized control. That base housed Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers.
Israel, in 1986, instituted a military policy called the Hannibal Directive, apparently named for the Carthaginian general who poisoned himself rather than be captured by the Romans, following the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah. The directive is designed to prevent Israeli troops from falling into enemy hands through the maximum use of force, even at the cost of killing the captured soldiers and civilians.
The directive was executed during the 2014 Israeli assault on Gaza known as Operation Protective Edge. Hamas fighters on Aug. 1, 2014, captured an Israeli officer, Lt. Hadar Goldin. In response, Israel dropped more than 2,000 bombs, missiles and shells on the area where he was being held. Goldin was killed along with over 100 Palestinian civilians. The directive was supposedly rescinded in 2016.
Gaza is the start. The West Bank is next.
Israelis who cheer on the Palestinian nightmare will soon endure a nightmare of their own.

Professor Langer won’t accept nor will he send a group of people in his place. If he shows up, he’ll lose. That would destroy his company. So he’ll ignore my offer.
Why? Because the evidence is overwhelming that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed by the COVID vaccines.
On March 9, 2024, euthanasia in Canada, or MAiD as it is known, will expand to include those suffering solely from mental illness. This is a result of the 2021 passage of Bill C-7, which also allowed the chronically ill – not just the terminally ill – to qualify for so-called doctor-assisted death.
“According to Health Canada, in 2022, 13,241 Canadians died by MAiD lethal injection, which is 4.1% of all deaths in the country for that year, and a 31.2% increase from 2021.”
“The number of Canadians killed by lethal injection since 2016 now stands at 44,958.”

Mon Nov 13, 2023
– Top Canadian psychiatrists warned that the country is “not ready” for the coming expansion of euthanasia to those who are mentally ill, saying expanding the procedure is not something “society should be doing” as it could lead to deaths under a “false pretence.”
As noted in a recent National Post opinion piece, seven of 17 chairs of psychiatry have written to Canadian Health Minister Mark Holland and Justice Minister Arif Virani to demand that the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pause the expansion of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) as it is known.
On March 9, 2024, euthanasia in Canada, or MAiD as it is known, will expand to include those suffering solely from mental illness. This is a result of the 2021 passage of Bill C-7, which also allowed the chronically ill – not just the terminally ill – to qualify for so-called doctor-assisted death.
The mental illness expansion was originally set to take effect in March. However, after massive pushback from pro-life groups, conservative politicians and others, the Liberals under Trudeau delayed the introduction of the full effect of Bill C-7 until 2024 via Bill C-39, which becomes law next year.
Dr. Sonu Gaind, who works as the chief of psychiatry at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, said that history shows when it comes to enacting new laws relating to sensitive life matters, “The evidence shows that we are right less than half the time.”
Proponents of MAiD have argued that there comes a point in time when a mentally ill individual is simply not curable. However, Gaind said that the notion of “incurability” might not even be possible.
Gaind said that as the evidence shows being wrong half the time, “That means that at least half the people who assessors say, ‘You’re not going to get better from your mental illness, and you can get MAID,’ at least half of those people would have gotten better.”
“Meaning, we would have provided death under a false pretence,” he added.
Gaind said there seems to be “no consensus on this issue,” and said he “firmly” thinks “we’re not ready for further expansion.”
As it stands now, a special joint parliamentary committee on MAID has reconvened to investigate the looming expansion of MAiD to the mentally ill.
Recently, LifeSiteNews reported on how pro-euthanasia lobbyists want Canada’s assisted suicide via lethal injection laws to be extended to drug addicts, which critics warn could lead the nation down a dangerous path nearing “eugenics.”
The delay in expanding MAiD until 2024 also came after numerous public scandals, including the surfacing of reports that Canadian veterans were being offered the fatal procedure by workers at Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC).
Offering MAiD to the mentally ill is not something ‘society should be doing,’ psychiatrist says
Dr. Jitender Sareen, head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba, said that when it comes to MAiD, there is too much left in the hands of those who do the procedure.
“Offering people death instead of appropriate treatments” is something that “really goes against what we as a society should be doing,” Sareen said as per the National Post.
Sareen also said there is no guidance as to whether a doctor can determine whether a person is suicidal or simply wants to kill themselves via MAiD.
Recent attempts by the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) to stop the expansion of MAiD have failed.
MPs in the House of Commons voted down a private members’ bill introduced by CPC MP Ed Fast that would have repealed the expansion of euthanasia laws to those suffering from mental illness.
Pro-life advocates, such as Angelina Ireland, president of the Delta Hospice Society (DHS), have warned the Trudeau government expansion of MAiD to those who are mentally ill will lead to allowing “MAiD allows agents of the state to kill us and it’s actually called ‘non-culpable homicide.’”
Ireland recently told LifeSiteNews that it was important she made clear to participants who attended to “speak to some inconvenient truths” about just how bad MAiD is for Canada.
“There is no avenue for us to ‘sue’ them (the government) or charge them with murder. We have abdicated our power and given the government the supreme authority — the right and the privilege to murder us,” Ireland said to LifeSiteNews, which she also told the event participants.
Euthanasia deaths have gone through the roof in Canada since it became legal in 2016.
According to Health Canada, in 2022, 13,241 Canadians died by MAiD lethal injection, which is 4.1% of all deaths in the country for that year, and a 31.2% increase from 2021.
The number of Canadians killed by lethal injection since 2016 now stands at 44,958.
The U.S. life expectancy is at near-three-decade lows, per recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The last time Americans on average were living shorter lives than they are today was in 1996. In truth, life expectancy has been declining for quite some time.
Finally, it appears that some blame is being given to the “vaccines” and how many the ruling class demands we get from birth to death…In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own data, getting the COVID-19 “vaccine” could reduce your lifespan by at least 24 years.
But it isn’t just COVID. Most Americans suffer from some kind of metabolic dysfunction, which leads to diabetes, obesity, heart conditions, and more. In fact, just 12% of Americans are actually metabolically healthy. That was before the scamdemic.

According to life expectancy data, one thing is glaringly obvious: the experts are trying to kill us. At the commands of the ruling class, the experts are doling out advice that is harming the general population, and that’s become rather apparent in countries like the United States, where obesity and diabetes are now common diseases.

U.S. Life Expectancy Continues To PLUMMET
Finally, it appears that some blame is being given to the “vaccines” and how many the ruling class demands we get from birth to death. But a lot of focus has been on the new “vaccines” for COVID-19. So while Americans’ actual base-level health was getting steadily worse and worse, our scientific betters were demanding universal masking and vaccine mandates, closing our businesses, shutting our schools, and letting the elderly die isolated in hospitals and care homes.

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own data, getting the COVID-19 “vaccine” could reduce your lifespan by at least 24 years.
Jaw-Dropping Fact: CDC Data Confirms COVID Vaccine Can Reduce Your Lifespan By At Least 24 Years
But it isn’t just the vaccines that are to blame. According to a report by The New York Post, given our high rates of alcohol consumption, something social isolation can worsen, the COVID measures may even have had a hand in lowering life expectancy.
But it isn’t just COVID. Most Americans suffer from some kind of metabolic dysfunction, which leads to diabetes, obesity, heart conditions, and more. In fact, just 12% of Americans are actually metabolically healthy. That was before the scamdemic. Those numbers are likely below 12% now. This isn’t a problem with “vaccines,” although those don’t help when contributing to overall health, but an issue with diet.
Americans eat a highly processed, sugar-laden, and carbohydrate-fueled diet, which is making them sick before they even come down with a cold or COVID-19. But Americans are also addicts, addicted to the food they think is fueling their bodies.
Another scary fact is that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. The average American consumes more than 17 teaspoons of added sugar each day, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). That’s nearly double what most of us should eat. And that’s “added” sugar, so that’s not including the sugars from fruit that are naturally occurring.
Sugar is not necessary to the human diet. There is also no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, but there are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids (proteins) for the human body to survive.
“There is no essential carbohydrate,” says Dr. Bessler. “Everything your body needs can be made from proteins and fats that you eat. You don’t need to eat a single carb to live a normal life.” In fact, carbs can actually prevent some people from leading normal lives. A growing body of research is showing that carbs can be highly addictive. “Carbs release dopamine in the brain, and sugar can act like a drug for some people,” says Dr. Bessler according to Columbia Surgery. “There is a reason these foods are called comfort food.”
Humans have been told an ungodly amount of lies in order to keep us from living long healthy lives because long healthy lives don’t make the ruling class or those who lobby it any money.
The lawsuit also calls for an end to the $3.8bn in annual military support the US sends to Israel.
A federal complaint (PDF), filed on Monday against President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, accuses them of “failure to prevent and complicity in the Israeli government’s unfolding genocide”.

Despite allegations of indifference toward UFO whistleblower concerns, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick actively pursued investigations of over 30 UFO occurrences, pioneered the “Historical Record Report” on UFOs, and engaged in significant scientific cooperation with NASA and the European Space Agency.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the retiring head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and a noted laser and materials physicist, has been a prominent figure in unidentified flying object (UFO) matters. During his 18-month tenure as the first director of this office, his beliefs in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, albeit with a skeptical lens, have sparked both interest and controversy.
In an interview with news sources, Kirkpatrick expressed cautious optimism about proving the existence of life beyond Earth, potentially on Mars or elsewhere in the universe. He acknowledges the scientific consensus on the likelihood of life in the vast cosmos. However, he maintains that the chances of such life being intelligent, aware of Earth, and having visited here, especially in the United States, are minimal.
https://t.me/geopolitics_live/2764?embed=1
Under his leadership, the AARO has fostered objective and scientifically grounded discussions with organizations like NASA and the European Space Agency. Despite facing accusations of creating an “atmosphere of disinterest” among some UFO whistleblowers, Kirkpatrick revealed that over 30 cases brought to him were investigated. He noted that while some whistleblowers had positive experiences, there were suggestions of higher authorities impeding AARO’s endeavors.
The retiring UFO chief expressed satisfaction with his achievements, including setting in motion enduring tasks like the “Historical Record Report” on UFOs, due for Congress in June 2024. He also introduced a new secure reporting system for investigating claims of covert and potentially illicit US government UFO programs, specifically for individuals with direct knowledge of such activities dating back to 1945.
US State of Maryland Listed as Hotbed for UFO Sightings
Since December 2017, following news reports, there has been a shift in how the term UFO is approached. It is now more cautiously referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). At a recent press conference, Dr. Kirkpatrick emphasized that no collaboration with foreign adversaries on UAP data had occurred due to national security concerns. However, he also expressed concern over indicators of foreign involvement in certain UAP cases that are currently under thorough investigation.
In the past year, a 22-page classified report and historical accounts have brought to light unresolved sightings of “orbs” on drone cameras, some dating back to World War II. While organizations like Bellingcat propose mundane explanations, in a publication, Kirkpatrick and Harvard physicist Dr. Avi Loeb ponder the possibility of these being alien probes. Despite the predominance of theories attributing these phenomena to foreign technology, the historical evidence since World War II, including German anti-radar devices, highlights the diversity and complexity of these phenomena.

The legend of the chamber lying beneath the Sphinx is thousands of years old. For generations, historians believed that some hidden heritage of the Egyptian civilization lies there. Sputnik can finally reveal the secrets of the ancient statue…
Most people have probably heard the riddle “What creature walks on four feet in the morning, two feet in the afternoon and three feet at night?” The puzzle was posed to Oedipus when Thebes was being tormented by the Sphinx, and when Oedipus answered correctly that the creature was man (crawling when a baby, walking upright when an adult and needing the help of a stick in old age), Thebes was saved and Oedipus was made its king, marrying in the process the newly widowed Jocasta, who turned out to be his mother.
This tragic tale was turned into a play – Oedipus Tyrannus – by the Greek dramatist Sophocles but in this case, the Sphinx is legendary as having the body of a lion, wings and a female head, a far cry from the massive Egyptian statue with which we are now so familiar. Furthermore, the Egyptian Sphinx’s puzzles are much more mysterious.
A Century Old Scoop
Scientists have recently managed to unravel its mysteries. For many years, no one knew how the Egyptians built such a vast structure. Scholars at New York University have worked out that it was the wind that helped the ancient sculptors.
The monument was originally a monolith (a single rock). Because of exposure to the air, the soft outer layer of limestone was gradually dispersed, eventually exposing solid rock. Later, craftsmen carved the sphinx’s features – torso, paws, and its graceful head.
But delve a bit deeper and things become rather more complicated: connoisseurs of the weird and wonderful have been obsessing for ages what lies beneath the structure. Some believe that there are underground vaults housing great Egyptian treasures a so-called Hall of Records or a “crypt of civilization”.
Naturally, the Internet is rife with speculation and the online community really came alive when drone footage showed small holes with doors on the head and back of the Sphinx.
It turned out that the drone footage was not quite as groundbreaking after all: Émile Baraize, a French Egyptologist and director of works at the Egyptian Antiquities Service, alerted the world to these holes almost a century ago, after conducting extensive excavations and restoration at the site between 1925 and 1936.
Baraize discovered that the hole on top was meant for a crown or some other headwear to be mounted and it led to a dead end. The hatch in the back led to a small empty chamber.
The Frenchman kept numerous detailed diaries with drawings but did not publish any of them and that is one reason speculation has never abated.
Archeologists Uncover Two Giant Sphinxes Built 3,300 Years Ago
Revelations Of A Clairvoyant
The legend concerning the Hall of Records has been around for millennia and there is the suggestion that it is not the Sphinx that should be explored but rather its immediate surroundings.
Several wall records covering Egyptian temples have been deciphered to disclose that Thoth (the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom) gathered all existing knowledge and hid it somewhere in the valley of the pyramids.
Herodotus, the Greek historian and geographer who is often referred to as ‘The Father of History’, wrote in the fifth century BC – roughly 2,500 years ago – about a network of underground tunnels in Giza. This allegation was later explored by neo-Platonic philosophers such as Iamblichus (245/280 to 325/330 A.D.) in his work ‘De Mysteriis’ (‘On the Mysteries’ [of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians]). It was further embraced by the members of the Hermes Trismegistus secret society in the Early Middle Ages.
However, it was Coptic legends written down by Arab travellers that gave the greatest credibility to the secret room. The tales say that the interconnected underground passages dug down from the three pyramids, lead to a single vast crypt – between the paws of the Great Sphinx.
Getting there is no simple task. The entrance is guarded by keeper statues, which kill the intruders.
Archaeologists during the 18th and 19th centuries from all over the world tried to get there – not a single one succeeded.
The 20th century changed everything: Edgar Cayce, an American clairvoyant, gained incredible popularity in the Thirties by entering into a trance – leading to his being known as ‘The Sleeping Prophet’ – and attaining a higher state of existence during which he would be possessed by spirits who would “answer questions on a variety of subjects such as healing, reincarnation, the afterlife, past lives, Atlantis, and the future”.
Many of Cayce’s contemporaries were skeptical since most of his “predictions” often fell flat.
The medium supposedly looked into the Hall of Records under one of the sphinx’s paws. He revealed that the crypt contained the legacy of Atlantis, the legendary advanced civilization that eventually fell foul of the gods and was swallowed by the Atlantic Ocean.
Not The Whole Truth
For decades, Cayce’s pronouncements were taken with more than a pinch of salt. But in 1989, (43 years after Cayce’s death in 1945) Japanese scientists from Waseda University in Tokyo excavated the paws of the sphinx and found a small tunnel under the left one, about three or four meters deep.
Shortly after, American geophysicist Thomas Dobecki conducted a seismological scan and discovered that the corridor led to sealed chambers. However, the Egyptian authorities intervened and banned all further research in the area near the monument.
Like the Sphinx herself, the nearer one seems to get to the mystery of the monument, the further the truth recedes, forever eluding inspection.
However, a few years later Zahi Abass Hawass – an Egyptian archaeologist, Egyptologist, and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs – stepped in and adopted a creative approach. Since it is impossible to dig in the vicinity of the Sphinx, he has illuminated the whole area with geodetic radar.

Thanks to his intervention, it has now been revealed that there is, in fact, a small network of galleries and chambers underground. But, greatly to the chagrin of adventurers, they are all empty. The radar has not picked up any solid object.
But Hawass has always maintained that Egypt’s secrets are endless – perhaps the mystery of The Hall of Records is still waiting to be revealed.
“We face a difficult situation [as far as biological security goes, ed.] due to the fact that practically 46 biological laboratories were located on the territory of Ukraine. How do our overseas opponents react to Russia’s statements? Some have kept silent, and sometimes they give instructions not to react at all. Some of their work has been curtailed, and we consider this to be our achievement,” Kirillov said in an interview with Russian TV on Monday, on the occasion of the RCBD Troops’ professional holiday.

While the world debates the legality of what Israel is doing in Gaza, Israeli leaders themselves have been crystal clear about their intent. Netanyahu’s recent biblical reference to the Amalek is just one of several examples. But is anyone listening?
