Back for a day

Hi Judith,

So very heart breaking. We will hold you up in our prayers.

Hamakom yenachem etkhem betokh she’ar avelei Tziyonvi’Yerushalayim

-T

What language is that, and what does it mean in English? "Google translate" cannot translate that to English.

It means "When are these people going to stop killing each other?"

What language is that?

Hebrew.

Yiddish

Hamakom yenachem etkhem betokh she’ar avelei Tziyonvi’Yerushalayim"

"May God comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem."

That's my guess, because "T" was replying to a poster who is apparently Jewish.

I tried "Google Translate" again. It looks like "T" wrote the Hebrew in Roman alphabet.

Apparently it meant:

"The place will comfort you in the midst of mourning Zion in Jerusalem"

After 2000 years people are still killing each other in the name of the same God.

I hope the OP would find peace and solace.

She was murdered in Israel, so I wanted to make it respectful of that. And I wanted it to be a Jewish condolence for the same reason. I did not want to give her a Christian prayer as it may have been taken the wrong way.

Thanks.

When there are no more people left to kill.

The Left fantasises about how the world ought to be. The Right deals with it as it is.

The Left tries to make the world better. The Right tries to make it worse.

And the answer is when Israel stops occupying Palestine so giving Palestinians their country back.

The Left tries to make the world better and ends up making it worse, the Right tries to let people do whatever they want within reason, and ends up making it better.

Its a strange thing , but the majority of people if given the choice (which socialism denies them) will in general pick things that improve their life quality.

It takes a huge amount of intellectual arrogance to promote Leftist ideology on the basis that they cannot be trusted to do that.

Bless!

What do you think 'from the river to the sea' means? Israel GAVE Palestine back already. And ceased occupying it.

Most of them were not even from area, which was largely uninhabited. They were promised the land and spoils of the Jews. Did not work out that way.

And the Arab lands refused to take them back. With the lands that they had taken from the Jews they evicted, they had more than enough space too.

Keep in mind that most of the local inhabitants of the area, still reside there (Israeli Arabs). They are very supportive of Israel too and complain bitterly when they are denied the right to join the army when they are attacked.

Palestine has always been inhabited. Palestine is the land of the Bible, or "Holy Land". Jerusalem is in the land of Palestine. In Biblical times Palestine was a part of the Roman Empire, then it was a part of the Bysantine Empire, then ruled by a succession of Caliphates, then the Kingdom of Jerusalem, then the Ottoman Empire until the end of WWI.

Read Mark Twain's travels to the holy land. It was largely uninhabited.
