http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4857861,00.html With the ceasefire deal collapsing and the UN's inability to get aid into Syria, the Amaliah organization is doing all it can to aid Syrians in need; 'It is difficult to erase decades' worth of hate, but we have to at least show who we really are. We can be proud that our country does what no other country does.' The number of wounded who have sought medical treatment in Israel since the Jewish state began accepting wounded Syrians stands at approximately 2,500 people. In mid-August of this year, a bus from the Jewish-American aid organization Amaliah brought 21 Syrian children and their parents to the Ziv Medical Center in Tzfat. The Syrians are all from the Qunietra region on the other side of the border with Israel. The … [Continue reading...]

On the Cusp of a Major Climate Milestone!

September 6, 2016 By Leave a Comment
g_20

Incredible news: Ahead of the G20 summit, the United States and China formally joined the Paris Climate Agreement yesterday. This historic announcement by President Obama and President Xi has catapulted the world to the cusp of formally implementing the Paris Agreement this year. Implementing the Paris Agreement will be a major global climate milestone, but there's still unfinished business at the G20 summit. Dumb and wasteful -- that's how a recent Bloomberg View editorial described fossil fuel subsidies. We couldn't agree more. We're living through what is likely to be the warmest year on record, yet governments continue to subsidize fossil fuels that power climate disruption. Despite a 2009 pledge to phase out these toxic subsidies, G20 nations are currently spending hundreds … [Continue reading...]

DOES ALIEN LIFE EXIST?...OR...ARE THEY ALREADY HERE? NY TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR JIM MARRS In 1977, NASA launched the space probe Voyager. One of its missions was to answer the question is there intelligent life beyond our planet. Residing on the Voyager was golden disc containing voices, music, images of plants and animals on Earth—it also contained an interstellar map to Earth. Since at least 2010, Stephen Hawking, famed physicist, has spoken publicly about his fears that an advanced alien civilization would have no problem wiping out the human race the way a human might wipe out a colony of ants. He noted that human beings have a terrible history of mistreating, and even massacring, other human cultures that are less technologically advanced — why would an alien civilization be … [Continue reading...]

Eid al-Fitr!

July 8, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Untitled-1

Eid al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر‎‎ ʻĪd al-Fiṭr, IPA: [ʕiːd al fitˤr], "festival of breaking of the fast"), is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). The religious Eid is a single day during which Muslims are not permitted to fast. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month of Shawwal. The date for the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. Eid al-Fitr has a particular Salat (Islamic prayer) consisting of two Rakats (units) and generally … [Continue reading...]
