Fun fact:
In 1917, the Balfour Declaration was written. The Arabs rejected it because they wanted all the land. They refused to accept any Jewish sovereignty on the land.
In 1920, the League of Nations gave Britain the official Mandate for the land that had belonged to the Ottoman Empire. The entire area was set aside as the Jewish homeland. This included what is today Israel (with Gaza, Samaria and Judea) and the whole of Jordan.
The Arabs rejected this too.
They wanted all the land and refused to accept any Jewish sovereignty.
In 1922, the Saudi Hashemite royals and other Arabs made a secret deal with Britain behind the Jews’ backs, and without the approval of the League of Nations.
Britain then carved out Transjordan and gave the entire area to the Arabs. This was 77% of the total land that had been promised as the Jewish homeland.
The Arabs happily accepted and took Transjordan, but they still rejected the remaining 23% for the Jews. They refused to accept any Jewish sovereignty on the land.
Now ask yourself this question:
If the Arabs were already given 77% of the land that was meant for the Jewish state, why are we still talking about carving up the last 23% and giving them even more?
When you see the truth, you understand who the real problem is, and why we will fight to keep the little land we have left.
The @PurpleLineMD is designed to run roughly 90% of its 16.2-mile route in its own dedicated ROW with 52 grade crossings. It will also be running the longest Light rail vehicle in the US at 142 feet long in mixed traffic for 1.4 miles on Wayne Avenue. #LightRailSafety#BikeDC
This remains one of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen.
Israeli pilots were literally above Tehran, recording themselves wishing Shabbat Shalom in the calmest voice you can hear.
Balls of steel.
קו ירושלים–תל אביב–הרצליה. המימוש הטוב ביותר של גרסה ישראלית ל־S-Bahn. פועל גם בלילה, מחבר בין האגלומרציות הגדולות במדינה לבין שדה התעופה. כמעט כל התחנות בקו הזה ממוקמות באזורים עם בנייה צפופה
אולי בעתיד, כשהקו יפעל בתדירות גבוהה יותר, יהיה אפשר להציג אותו במפות המטרו כשכבה נוספת של קו עירוני

🚨 HUMANITARIAN FLOTILLA… OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Reports claim the Gaza-bound flotilla is carrying small quantities of drugs and condoms.
If this is strictly humanitarian…?
Are these supplies actually intended for Gaza?
Or are they for the activists themselves during the voyage?
Just asking questions.

Soltanto la viltà e l'abisso morale può spingere a vandalizzare pietre di inciampo di ebrei torinesi deportati nei campi di sterminio nazisti e lì assassinati nelle camere a gas. Nulla e nessuno potrà giustificare un atto cosi vergognoso
