If the icc issues arrest warrants for people, they will be painting pictures of themselves taking showers like other infamous USA administration members.

Good luck, Syria! ✊

Thank you so much for your kindness. I would indeed appreciate any recommendations for reading factual information! Maybe others here would, as well? Please feel free to DM your recommendations, but also maybe post a few here, in case anyone else is interested? Of course that’s entirely at your discretion.

You have been so kind in this exchange, I also feel you and the entire exchange is wholesome and enriching. It’s so sad that societies, in real life and online, has devolved into getting even/"owning” the other. In full disclosure, I went down that road for entirely too long before finally realizing it leads to nowhere good, for individuals or societies. It’s going to be a long way home, but I’m on that road now. I’m so honored to share the "road less traveled” with honest, kind people who will hold me to account with rigor and compassion, to both coax and prod, as appropriate to the need of the moment. I thank you again for the enrichment you’ve brought to me, along our way.

I do wish you all the best, as we walk together. I can’t give you a real+life hug or handshake; please know I give both, in my heart and mind, for whatever small value that may hold.

The depth of your generosity will be the saving grace of humanity, imo, expressed so confident here:

an age of misinformation and buzzwords, we should try our best to learn.

I look forward to learning and growing with you.

Thank you so much for affording me an opportunity to grow a little, in this exchange. May you be happy and well.

Apparently I have to eat my words! Please accept my apology. I went back to

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah and skimmed (I’m stupid tired, I need to properly read this when my brain isn’t mush).

Thanks for sharing and I’d be interested in relearning history. Agree with ashakanazi assessment on the face , not again i also need to reread when I’m properly rested.

Uh, the invasion of Canaan for starter. I’m not dissing Israelis. This is pretty factual. We don’t even know a single historical Jesus existed. We do know the Messiah isn’t supposed to present while Israel is a nation not in exile. But I’m just a beginner at kabbalah, and that’s irrelevant anyway. I’m talking historical fact. While Jericho and slaves building pyramids probably never happened, Israel invading Canaan probably did.

Anyway, I’m not arguing what we “know” right now. If the data changes, I’m so there with it. I wish you peace.

Mostly pacifist faith?! My friend, the abramic religions, with the exception of a few small cults within them, have been warrior religions, from inception. Jesus maybe tried to change that but even warned his teachings would turn brother against brother.
