Well, are we now in the end game? With Israel last? Last for what? Will Israel’s year-long rampage against the Palestinians end up in self-destruction? and will Israel take the entire Mideast with it? How about the rest of the world? All possible.
It is said that in order to become TRULY ALIVE one must . . .

Yes.
As a daily, hourly, minute by minute meditation.
That way, one FLOWS WITHIN THE ONGOING PRESENT MOMENT, UNITED WITH ALL AND EVERYTHING.
In other words: Does this grinding global drama, perhaps heating up as never before, serve as ritual ceremony for each of us, and all of us together, to learn to face death unflinchingly, while at the same time learning how to live with peace in our hearts, truth in our voices, and fully authentic expressiveness every moment of every day — no matter what?
Yes.

Question: How many U.S. Senators and Congressmen have dual citizenship with Israel?

Check this out.
Reminds me of everyday life in the U.S.A. Except for the fact that the very establishment of the tiny state of Israel for (supposedly “chosen”) people who “identify” as Jews to sit smack the middle of hostile mideast territory, taking over what had been Palestinian land where people of three religions — Jews, Muslims, and Christians — had lived together amicably, and so, from its inception, “surrounded by enemies” — what would one expect but near-continuous friction, often leading to state-run violence?
