Ok, that makes sense. Using sympathy for legitimate grievances for separate, but related, causes, seems to be an approach used by some in the present age.
Yes, I think that Judaism is about religions and Israel is about a state. However, aren't people who are opposed to Israel sometimes also called “anti-Semitic”? I feel like I've heard that before.
I'm still not clear on this after all these years, though admittedly, I haven't researched it much. But I did find this just now:
At this point of the Fifth Chasm of the Eighth Circle it is five hours earlier than the time of Christ’s death, at noon, so it is 7am Saturday. (As the Easter of the year 1300 =1266+34 full years from the crucifixion on Good Friday, supposing Christ to be incarnated in December of BC1 and to die at age 33, celebrating the anniversary of his 33rd year in December 33AD)
http://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Italian/DantnotesInf.htmYet this just makes it even more confusing, since it says "five hours earlier than the time of Christ’s death, at noon, so it is 7am Saturday" - in other words, not on Friday! I don't get it. Was there a belief that Christ was crucified on Good Friday but did not die until Saturday?
Aetheling is two for two! In the picture from that site, there's a guy crouched down inside the thing. I guess they'd use it to crawl forward with the barrel of the gun sticking out one of those holes.
Yes, apparently an update map. Here's from one source:"New Map of Europe 1918 outside Independence Hall Phila. PA on or about 10-26-1918. This map was also displayed in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC."I imagine the showing of the map must have coincided with this:Gregory Zatkovich signing the Declaration of Commons Aims of the Independent Mid-European Nations [Public domain], by Unknown; published in B. Wallace, Underwood & Underwood, Phila. Evening Bulletin (Commons), from Wikimedia Commons- Also see this caption: "Gregory Ignatius Zatkovich signing the Declaration of Commons Aims of the Independent Mid-European Nations as representative of the Uhro-Rusins (Independence Hall, Philadelphia, October 26, 1918)"
I had never heard of any Roman aqueducts designed to collect groundwater (make more sense if this was “in addition to” water from another source). Still, it is cool that the water coming out of it is so pure. I wonder if this is a natural effect of the age of the aqueduct; in other words, would the water have been so pure in the third or fourth centuries?
