No One Wins

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been the site of Palestinian activity. While minor in scope at the moment, it could lead to yet another “Intifadah” uprising.
When these uprisings occur  it obviously hurts Israel,  but there is much damage done to the Palestinian/Arab side that goes  unreported. The last Intifadah started by Yasser Arafat [...]

Time to Decide

I like Peter Wagner’s evaluation of people wanting to change things when he said, “Indifferent people cannot make a different world.” While indifference seems to be not a very strong indication,  remember if indifference goes unchecked,  serious problems arise.

History Repeating Itself

When Orthodox Jewish men where shorn of the beards and sidelocks in public humiliation,  people turned their heads,  glad the Nazis were leaving them alone. The seizure of Jewish property and businesses by German authorities was dismissed as an excess carried out by power hungry people. As the Jews were rounded up and [...]

G-d Bless America?

The turmoil of American  culture is seeing an ever widening gap between so many segments of our society.  One almost seems unable to discern what is right anymore.

Too Much Too Close Together
