WHY NOT?

We’re all part of the Tree of Life, and share the same world: Earth.  And all  are headed toward 2050, whatever that will bring. Isn’t the world big enough for everyone to have their own space, especially with population numbers shrinking everywhere?  More than thirty-five years yet to share on our dying green planet?  Would that we can finally  live without competition.

WTF!

It’s no secret that fossil fuels are still going strong, but a new United Nations-backed report paints an alarming picture of how dramatically coal, oil and gas production is expected to grow in the coming years.

WHAT IS ZIONISM? — Education for Myself

 The first Zionist congress was organized. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a large number of Jews immigrated to first Ottoman and later Mandatory Palestine, and at the same time, diplomatic attempts were made to gain worldwide recognition and support. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Zionism has continued primarily to advocate on behalf of Israel and to address threats to its continued existence and security.

Zionism has never been a uniform movement. Its leaders, parties, and ideologies frequently diverged from one another. Compromises and concessions were made in order to achieve a shared cultural and political objective as a result of the growing antisemitism and yearning to return to the “ancestral” country. A variety of types of Zionism have emerged, including political Zionism, liberal Zionism, labor Zionism, revisionist Zionism, cultural Zionism, and religious Zionism. Advocates of Zionism view it as a national liberation movement for the repatriation of an indigenous people (which were subject to persecution and share a national identity through national consciousness), to the homeland of their ancestors as noted in ancient history.[20][21][22] Critics of Zionism view it as a colonialist,[23] racist,[24] or exceptionalist ideology or movement.   From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism&gt;
