Lots of good things are happening, the SAG and WGA strikes are over and the workers won the improvements they wanted, and other unions are winning improvements for workers, and even McDonald's is a good place to work now with workers earning $20 an hour, etc, etc, etc.

Also, President Biden is meeting with President Xi of China in San Francisco. That is wonderful. They need to spend a few days together discussing things, and they can eat at the restaurants in China Town in San Francisco, etc. San Francisco has some nice hotels, etc, and great restaurants, etc, San Francisco is a great place for the leaders to meet.

And as we gain, then we need to spend money to build libraries, schools, and Universities, in our poorest areas.

We also need to pump redevelopment money into our ghettos, and we need to give people business loans, etc.

As we get rich, then we need to give back and we need to help our poor. We need to clean up our ghettos, and we need to help our poor people, and we need schools, parks, libraries, Universities, etc.

We can also be good neighbors and we can donate schools, libraries, hospitals, etc, to some poor parts of Mexico, and we can be friends and allies with Mexico.

As we get rich then we need to help the poor.

Salute,

Tony V.

A Jennifer Jones movie...in the classroom:

"We will consider the country of Palestine...the original home of the Jews".

Well there you go.
Game, set, and match.
Thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys.
You continue to be one of the stupidest humans on the planet.

"The original home of the Jews" is true though.

Jennifer Jones was married to Robert Walker.  He was so great in "Strangers on a Train."  Hard to believe he was on 32 when he died.

By that logic, since Judaism is a late splinter sect of Zoroastrianism and both Christianity and Islamare splinters of that, control of the whole question should go to whoever has the biggest piece left intact of the late lamented Persian empire.

More modern and sensible practice is to hold elections. Perhaps the more than 70 percent of Israelis who are eager to be done with Bibi and Likud can get together with the more than 70 percent of Palestinians who are done with Hamas and sit down at a table and work toward a stable nonviolent solution

Fertile Crescent is not in the Bible. The term would include Mesopotamia as well, all the way down to Basra.

But the point which you also make is, the Levant is the "original home" of multiple people and faiths. Whether Jennifer Jones acknowledges that or not.

Fertile Crescent is not in the Bible.
It certainly is. Unless you omit the Garden of Eden. You might need a refresher course in biblical history.
And I have no idea why Jennifer Jones has anything to do with the discussion.

Nope, the term arose out of archeological work done in the late 19th and early 20th Century. It refers to areas where settled planned agriculture first arose. The history of agriculture is not something that would have been within the knowledge of the authors of the Bible. They simply would not have thought about their homeland in that way.

Or, you can cite me chapter and verse and I will admit my error.

Also, you could read the bloody thread you are replying to. I bolded for you.

There are hundreds of citations on the fertile land in the Bible , if not the exact sequence of Fertile Crescent. And all the history courses I took in school and college equated to the term. And the Bible authors did think of their land that way if not in the literal sequence. My point is Palestinians, Jews, and Christians all have claims to having lived there.

Which is as I noted the same point I was making to the upside down little fool who gets his history from Jennifer Jones movies.

As for the rest... I did not expect any better of you. Yes, the word fertile is in the Bible. But the concept of a fertile Crescent running from Basra to, depending on your source, down the Nile is not.

Great movie, and sad loss for American film.  Murdered by malpractice by his psychiatrist.
