Partaking in the holiday festivities

A painting depicting the Battle of the Pyramids by Louis Francois Lejeune. The battle took place on July 21 1798 near the village of Embabeh, but was so named because the Great Pyramid of Giza was visible about 9 miles away

Another interesting thing about Israeli history is that the name Israel wasn’t always the planned name of the country The word Israel is of course thousands of years old, but other proposed names included Eretz Yisrael, Ever, Judea, Zion, Ziona, Ivriya, and Herzliya

A print from 1806 depicting Napoleon emancipating Jews. Jews in France were previously emancipated in 1791, but due to Napoleons conquests throughout Europe, this spread to other areas as well He abolished ghettos, removed forced identification, ended enslavement in Malta, and removed laws 1/2

Good evening

Good night

Wall paintings from the Dura Europos Synagogue, in modern day Syria. The Jewish community in the area goes back thousands of years, and the synagogue operates in the 3rd century CE It was virtually destroyed by ISIS in 2014

A depiction of the Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones from the Dura Europos synagogue, in modern Syria. It depicts Ezekiel’s vision, in which it also carry’s a prophecy: That the exiled people of Israel will return to the land of Israel, after previously being exiled away from it by the Babylonians

LOTR (even though I just recently really got into it like 2 months ago) and Star Wars will always be my favorite series. Truly amazing franchises and great films and lore However, I do want to get into Dune, so whenever I have the time to watch the movies and eventually get the books, I will

Some books I got today Soon I hope to get The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but very specific versions The ones I am looking at contain illustrations by Tolkien, and overall looks insanely cool

Good morning

Got a problem with that?

Maybe it’s time I actually use this

UNITY 👌

My type of starry night

I’ve always found it interesting that the majority of French Jews (approximately 400,000-600,000) are Sephardic and Mizrahi

Good night

I like how later in his life, Eduard Bernstein looked like a wise hermit that’s been isolated for 50+ years

Different sites, but one shows Poland and France. In Poland, I would support Lewica, and Parti Socialiste in France

In an ideal world, the US would release a statement simultaneously about Azerbaijan and sharply criticize it, and would also release a statement criticizing Israel for its support of Azerbaijan

Goodnight

I call for #ExIran

Ron DeSantis is lookin better than ever

I’m arguing with an Israeli right now who unironically believes this should be the borders of Israel

Such a shame this man died at such a young age

This would definitely be an interesting timeline. This was a core part of Revisionist Zionism - the idea that a Jewish state should be established on both sides of the Jordan river

Ze’ev Jabotinsky is actually a very interesting figure. He was a definitely a right wing Zionist, but wasn’t religious (atheist) and was said that if a Jewish state is to be established, it would also mean equal rights for Arabs, and he opposed expulsion of Arabs as well

Today was wild on twitter. I certainly didn’t expect to get into an argument with Kassy Dillon and a thousand ultra Orthodox Jews

An incredible thing is that Cretan hieroglyphs and Linear A, the writing systems used by Minoans who inhabited the ancient Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, to speak the hypothetical Minoan language, is still undeciphered. Incredible how many answers they hold

Which one should I make my home screen on my phone?

Minoan art in a motif style based off of frescoes found on the island of Crete, the location of the ancient Minoan civilization

Good night

Jewish secularism best describes me

I hope someday, Belarus and Russia and among other countries, emerge as democratic nations
