Haas1 , William R. Saunders2 , and Robert M. Schoch31The Cydonia Institute, PO Box 102, Purcellville, VA, USA; thecydoniainstitute@hotmail.com2412 – 3311 Wilson St. Penticton, B.C., Canada; bsaunders169@gmail.com3Boston University, College of General Studies, Boston, MA, USA; schoch@bu.eduABSTRACT An examination of a square-shaped structure within a crater in the Arabia Terra region of Mars isundertaken. Supportive images are provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars GlobalSurveyor and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecrafts. The images reveal the remains of a set of possible linear walls with 90-degree angles (as best as can be determined) at their corners that exhibit a high level of symmetry. The hypothesis of artificial design is presented based on an examination of possible artificial and natural mechanisms that could contribute to the structure of the features observed.Terrestrial comparisons of geological structures and geometrical designs are investigated. Further study and additional imaging of the structural components of this enigmatic feature are encouraged.Keywords: Mars; Arabia Terra; square; walls; foundation; mounds; Mars Global Surveyor; MarsReconnaissance Orbiter; Masada; White City; life on Mars; Anomalous Formations on Mars1. IntroductionA Mars Global Surveyor image depicting a square-shaped structure (also referred to in the popularpress as a “square-shaped formation”) was brought to the attention of the first two authors in 2001 by independent researcher Richard C. Hoagland via his Enterprise Mission website (https://www.enterprisemission.org/). This square structure has generated a high level of interest and has been featured in numerous online news programs; however no serious scientific assessment has been offered until now.2. The Square-shaped Structure (Mars Global Surveyor)In November 2001 NASA released an image acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)camera E10/00462. The image was taken in the winter, during the early morning hours with a resolutionof 6.3 meters per pixel (Mars Viewer, MGS, 2001). The original orientation of the image was inverted,with south toward the top; it shows exposed material within a crater that includes a feature that appears tobe square-shaped structure (Figure 1). The square-shape is offset with opposite corners aligned in a northsouth direction. The northern corner of the formation consists of an L-shaped wall-like structure that ispartially buried by debris. The western and southern corners are visible, while the eastern corner appearsto be covered by fine-grained deposits in this image; the western corner also appears to be covered tosome extent with fine-grained deposits (note that “fine-grained” is a relative term in this context, giventhe resolution of 6.3 meters per pixel). A detail of the area is provided in figure 2, showing the outline ofthe square-shaped walls and linear impression.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

From the road to Damascus to the fall of the Roman Empire, God has been at work to make Himself known. Follow Linda Lacour Hobar, author of The Mystery of History, through the first five centuries of world history following the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From martyrs and missionaries, to Masada and the Edict of Milan, this is a trip you won't forget. (This episode was recorded a few years ago at a homeschool convention—and includes promotion of the series. Since that recording, the author has completed Volume IV!) 

Eliot and Eric welcome back friend of the show Barry Strauss, the Corliss Page Dean Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. They discuss the series of Jewish revolts against Roman rule in 67-70 AD and the subsequent Roman siege of Masada, as well as the later Diaspora and Bar Kochba revolts situating them in the geostrategic competition between the Roman and Parthian empires. Barry explains the complications of the ethnic and religious divisions in Judea as well as the role of Jewish apocalyptic and messianic thinking on the protagonists of these serial rebellions. He also touches on the reasons why Judea was seemingly so hard to govern for the Romans, the divisions among Jews, and the degree to which archaeology and numismatics can add to the surviving literary accounts of the wars between Rome and the Jews. Jews vs. Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the World's Mightiest Empire: https://a.co/d/9xfsZOd Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

I want to know about your favorite historical artifact."He: תמר חייכה, והצביעה לעבר קיר אפור ועתיק.En: Tamar smiled and pointed toward an old gray wall.He: "שם יש כתובת עתיקה שמספרת על יום רגיל כאן, לפני שנים רבות.En: "There is an ancient inscription there telling of an ordinary day here, many years ago.He: משהו קטן אבל קסום," היא אמרה.En: Something small but magical," she said.He: "רוצה לראות?"En: "Want to see?"He: הם עמדו יחד, מתבוננים בכתובת שהיו מלאות בהיסטוריה.En: They stood together, gazing at the inscription full of history.He: השקט הפך לחיבור ונראה ששניהם הבינו שלא מדובר רק בהיסטוריה.En: Silence turned into connection, and it seemed they both understood it wasn't just about history.He: אורי חש איך פתאום הוא חופשי וסקרן לדבר יותר, לשאול יותר.En: Ori felt how suddenly he was free and curious to talk more, to ask more.He: בסוף היום, הם הסכימו להיפגש שוב.En: By the end of the day, they agreed to meet again.He: לחקור עוד אתרים יחד ולשתף זה את זו בסיפורים ובשמחות הקטנות של חייהם.En: To explore more sites together and share with each other the stories and small joys of their lives.He: אורי גילה שחיבור עם אדם נוסף מגביר עוד יותר את תשוקתו להיסטוריה.En: Ori discovered that connecting with another person further amplified his passion for history.He: בין חוויות העתיקות נפתח עולם חדש שבו סיפורים משותפים יכולים לבנות קשרים אמיתיים.En: Amid ancient experiences, a new world opened where shared stories could build real connections.He: כך נמשכה דרכם הרבה מעבר לסתם סיור אחד במצדה.En: Thus, their path continued far beyond just one tour at Masada.

The Romans have come to the walls of holy Jerusalem, where the Jews await their assault and pray for a miracle. The epic Siege of Jerusalem, and the smaller Siege of Masada, mark the twin climaxes of the First Roman-Jewish War, but their mythology...and their impact...endure into the modern day. This is Part II of the story of Josephus, the Romans, the Jews, and a war for the freedom of Zion.Sources: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/episodes-61-and-62-wailing-walls-part-1-and-wailing-walls-part-2-maps-and-sourcesMusic:"Jewel Of Nekhen" by WombatNoisesAudio | https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USThe Legion by Alexander Nakarada (https://www.creatorchords.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Under Siege" by Tyler Cunningham, via Pond5.com

My Story  Talk 28  Activities Beyond Europe Welcome to Talk 28 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Looking back on it, I suppose I travelled fairly widely during the time we were at Mattersey. Apart from the many places in Europe we visited, I found myself on the Lord's business in America, Africa, and Asia, though never, incidentally in Australia. These visits, which cover the period from 1982 to 2004, were either in connection with the Pentecostal World Conference which later became the Pentecostal World Fellowship or preaching trips The Pentecostal World Conference My reason for attending the Pentecostal World Conference in Oslo in 1992 was that, because it was being held in Europe, the PEF presidium had decided to hold a committee meeting there at the same time. Eileen and I had visited Norway for the first time two years previously where we had enjoyed a holiday there before attending the EPTA conference in Lillehammer. This time, however, I was alone. During one of the mornings, I was sitting high up at the back of the auditorium and was surprised to hear my name mentioned at the close of the session. Dr Ray Hughes was asking me to see him on the platform during the coffee break.  I couldn't imagine why but, of course, went to see him as requested. This was not quite as easy as it sounds because to get there I had to make my way through hundreds of people who were exiting the venue and all walking in the opposite direct from me. When I finally got there, he said to me, Oh David, as you know, you've been appointed to the Advisory Committee, and we'd like you to sit on the platform with us for the rest of the conference. Well, I knew nothing about this appointment. It was a complete surprise and when a year or so later I was elected to the Presidium it was an even greater honour. The 1995 conference was particularly special because it was held in Jerusalem. And this time Eileen came with me. We had never been in Israel before and we made sure that we saw as many of the biblical sites as possible. We had booked a tour with a Christian company and travelled in a small coach with a group of Brits who were attending the conference, and it was there that we met Ivor and Jan Maddison who were pastoring the church in Ollerton, not far from Mattersey.  (We got to know Jan very well when she came to live in Brixham after Ivor had died). The tour involved a visit to Tiberias on the shore of Lake Galilee from where we visited Capernaum, took a trip across the lake in a boat like those used by Jesus' disciples and from which he calmed the storm, and had a meal on the lake shore eating ‘St. Peter's fish', so called because of the occasion where he found a coin in the fish's mouth. We went to Caesarea Philippi, a beautiful place, where Peter confessed Jesus as the Christ. We visited the place in the river Jordan where Jesus is believed to have been baptised, and further south we had a brief stop in Jericho.   We travelled up from there to Jerusalem in time for the conference and of course visited Bethlehem and all the places you would expect, many of which have been spoilt by centuries of tradition and tourism. Eileen got to see Nazareth, but I missed the trip because I had to be in a presidium meeting. Highlights in Jerusalem were the Garden of Gethsemane, and the via dolorosa. But without a doubt the visit to the garden tomb was by far the most moving. It may or may not have been the actual site of Jesus' burial and resurrection, although I like to think that it was, but it was certainly a powerful reminder of the truth – Jesus is not here, he is risen! And who could forget the visit to the Upper Room and joining with other Pentecostals in speaking in tongues as the first disciples did in Acts 2? After the conference we visited Masada, floated on the Dead Sea where it's impossible to sink, and went to the cave where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered. It was there, I think, that we paid an Arab to let us take a photo of his camel! We also visited a museum where we saw a number of ancient seals, some dating back over three thousand years, and reminding us of Paul's teaching that after we believed we were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. So during the trip there was much to remind us of Bible times and the truth of God's word. We were glad that we went but have never had a wish to return. Eileen is now enjoying the heavenly Jerusalem and one day I will join her there. And all because of Jesus! In 1998 the conference was held in Seoul, Korea, at the vast Yoido Full Gospel Church led by David Yongghi Cho, numbering at the time some 720,000 members. We had at first thought to extend the trip and visit China and the Great Wall. Eileen had always had a great interest in China, but when it turned out that the visit was not feasible she decided not to accompany me. I had met Cho at the London world conference in 1976 when I gave him a copy of my book, Know the Truth, later to be renamed You'd Better Believe It. I was naturally interested to visit his church and to experience one of the Sunday services there. There were, I think, six services each Sunday to accommodate the vast numbers. Everything had to be organised and left little if any room for the exercise of spiritual gifts like tongues, interpretation and prophecy which we might expect in a smaller congregation. Presumably there was opportunity for such gifts to be experienced in their many home groups. The final meeting of the conference was held in the Olympic Stadium where it was estimated that over 100,000 people were in attendance. I was privileged to read from the scriptures, which I found a little difficult on this occasion as I had somehow mislaid my glasses on a visit to the Prayer Mountain and was using a pair borrowed from an English brother who was staying in the same hotel as me. During the conference it was decided to hold the next presidium meeting in Hawaii in 1999. The reasoning seemed to be that as Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean it was not too far from either Asia or America. However, no one considered the inconvenience for anyone travelling from Europe! But as I was the only European on the presidium I could hardly object. So that is how I came to fly to Hawaii, a 24 hour journey each way, for a three-day committee meeting! The purpose was to plan for the 2001 conference which was to be held in Los Angeles. Fortunately, the meeting finished a day early and I had a day to spare before flying home. This gave me the opportunity to take a minibus tour of the island, visiting among other things Pearl Harbour and a tropical rain forest. I also experienced macadamia nuts for the first time and learnt that the name comes a Scot named Macadam who first discovered them and who also invented tarmac! Eileen was able to travel with me for the Los Angeles conference in 2001 and in the week before the conference we both enjoyed a short holiday staying with Brian and Ann Lee, old friends from Retford who had emigrated to La Verne just a few miles from L.A.  It was good to renew fellowship with them and to preach in their local AoG church. At the conference itself I had been asked to chair a theological seminar at which Roger Stronstad, a Canadian scholar whose writings I greatly admired, was to be one of the speakers. The subject was the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and at the last minute, I was asked to be the other speaker deputising for an American brother who was unable to attend. I was so grateful to the Lord for the opportunity he gave me to speak at the conference and the help he gave me to do so. The last world conference we attended was in South Africa in 2004. This conference was in many ways different from all the others. In the opening meeting the delegates were warmly welcomed by the President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeke who had been deputy president under Nelson Mandela from 1994 to 1999 and served as president from '99 to 2008. Eileen felt particularly honoured as she was seated right next to him on the front row! But much more important was the fact that so many participants were from African countries, and the meetings were marked by the freedom of expression so typical of African worship and so different from the formalism we have seen elsewhere even in some Pentecostal meetings. It was something we were to see much more of in later visits to Africa in the years that followed my retirement from Mattersey, After the conference we hired a car and travelled to the Africa School of Missions founded by Paul Alexander, my newly appointed successor at Mattersey. We broke our journey at Witbank where I preached at two services on the Sunday, travelling on to ASM on the Monday where we were warmly welcomed by the staff. They asked us if we were planning to visit the Kruger National Park, and, when we said no, one of them kindly phoned a relative who worked there and arranged for us to stay for a few nights at Skukuza, one of the safari lodges in the park. Our accommodation was in an extremely comfortable one-room apartment that looked something like a traditional African hut with a thatched roof. The restaurants served excellent food which was relatively inexpensive and offered views overlooking the wonderful wildlife. We enjoyed every moment we spent at Skukuza, especially when a company of mongooses ran across the compound in single file right in front of us. But of course it was driving outside the safari park that we saw most of the wildlife. It was early spring in the southern hemisphere, and the leaves had only just begun to appear on the trees and bushes, making it easy to spot whatever animals and birds happened to be in the area. We travelled miles each day, taking care to obey the instruction never to get out of the car except in specially designated safe places. We were also glad that the car had good air-conditioning because it was often important to ensure the windows were closed. On one occasion we stopped to watch a group of baboons in the road just ahead of us and I closed the electric windows. However, I had momentarily forgotten that, unlike our car at home, our hire car had electric windows only at the front. We only realised the back ones were still open when a large baboon leapt in onto the back seat attempting to steal our lunch! I turned round and shouted in a loud voice – Eileen later told the grandchildren that Grandad roared like a lion – and thank God, the animal obeyed! Both we and our lunch were safe. After that, we never opened the back windows again for the rest of the trip. Apart from that, the remainder of our stay there was relatively uneventful. We loved it so much that when I was back at ASM a few years later I borrowed a car and went back there. Our visit was far too short but was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. We were particularly grateful that in such a short time we had managed to see the big five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo, a wonderful ending to our last Pentecostal World Conference. Preaching trips But of course my travels beyond Europe were not limited to my role in the Pentecostal World Fellowship. There were preaching trips as well. At first, these centred on the USA where I combined preaching with raising funds for our building project. An American AoG pastor named Paul Curtis had a burden for Britain came to see me on one of his trips to England and said he would like to help raise funds for our new Hall of Residence. So at Paul's invitation, in February '82 I spent ten days preaching in AoG churches in North Carolina with a view to returning in mid-May for a period of four weeks. I enjoyed the trip in February, and the Lord blessed my ministry, and about £1400 was raised towards our building fund. Hopefully the trip in May-June would be more fruitful in that respect. I was looking forward to it and had bought my flights in advance as that was more economical. But only a few weeks before the trip Paul contacted me to apologise and tell me that he had been unable to arrange a suitable itinerary for me and that he felt that the time was not right. But I had already bought non-refundable tickets for flights both ways! And I had already planned the timetable at Mattersey to enable me to be away from the college throughout that period! After praying about it I contacted John and Sara Miles who were by then living in Naperville, Illinois, and asked their advice. Sara suggested that I was in a situation like Abraham's when he set off not knowing where the Lord would lead him. So I used the air tickets to fly as far as New York and paid the extra to fly on to Chicago where John and Sara collected me from O'Hare airport on May the 18th. When I arrived they told me that they had contacted Richard Dortch, the Superintendent of the Illinois AoG, and that he was arranging an itinerary for me around Illinois where I was already known through my three visits back in the seventies. I stayed with John and Sara until 6th July preaching in churches in the Chicago area on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. These included Yorkville, Palatine, Dekalb, Naperville, and Lake Villa as well as Chicago itself. I also spent a day at Wheaton College, had lunch with John, who was now a French professor there, and with Peter Kuzmic from Yugoslavia, and saw the wardrobe made famous in C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. On Thursday the 27th I flew via Denver to San José, California, to visit Bethany Bible College. Dick Foth, who had been the pastor in Urbana where I first preached on my visit to the States in 1972, was now the President of Bethany and I had a couple of useful days with him visiting the college and comparing notes.  I had an interesting experience flying back on the Saturday. The weather was extremely hot and everyone else was dressed in shorts and T shirts. I, however, was still wearing my jacket. As I was waiting in the queue to check in, an airline official approached me and said, Excuse me, sir. I wonder if you can help me. We're overbooked in Economy Class, and as you seem to be a suitable gentleman, I wonder if you would mind travelling First Class. Would I mind! It was the first and only time I have travelled First Class and, although I could never justify the expense of doing so, I was more than happy to enjoy the experience at no extra cost to myself. On 6th June I left Naperville and flew to Urbana where I preached on the Sunday and where my old friend Jim Hall was now the pastor. The next day I flew to Springfield MO to visit two other AoG colleges, Evangel College and Central Bible College, as well as the Graduate School located in the AoG Headquarters in Boonville Avenue. When I returned to Urbana on the Friday, Jim Hall had arranged an English Evening where I talked about the spiritual state of the UK and taught the Americans how to make a proper cup of tea! On the Sunday morning, I preached in Normal, where Marvin Foulkes was the pastor. I had preached for Marvin back in '72 and '74 and was delighted to see how much the church had grown since then. In the evening, I preached in Decatur from where I flew back to Chicago ready for my return to England the next day. Looking back on it, I felt that the trip had been very worthwhile, not just because it raised about $5000 for our college, but because of the opportunity it gave me to visit and learn from other AoG colleges and expand my vision for Mattersey. I was very grateful to Richard Dortch for making it possible. A year later I met Dortch in Portugal at the opening of the new chapel in the Bible College in Fanhões, near Lisbon, and he shared with me that he was soon likely to become the Executive Vice-President at PTL, the centre of Jimmy and Tammy Bakker's ministry, and he invited me to preach for a week on their TV station. This took place in 1985 and during our stay Eileen, Jonathan, and I were treated to the luxurious accommodation of the Heritage Grand Hotel. And we came home with a significant sum of money for our building fund.  We were, of course, very grateful for their hospitality and generosity, but I confess I was not really comfortable about so much luxury. Coming to terms with the cultural differences and levels of poverty or prosperity we see around the world is by no means easy. The riches of America were in stark contrast with the poverty I was to see in India less than a year later. But I'll tell you about that next time.

Why did the Jews keep fighting Rome for over 200 years — long after the Great Revolt ended in disaster? Hoover Senior Fellow Barry Strauss discusses the epic story of Judea's rebellions against the world's most powerful empire in this conversation and in his new book, Jews vs. Rome: Barry Strauss on Two Centuries of Jewish Revolt. From the fall of Jerusalem and the siege of Masada to the guerrilla war of Bar Kokhba, Strauss reveals the key players, stunning twists, and surprising alliances — including ancient Iran's role as an ally of the Jews. Strauss also describes unforgettable characters like Herod the Great, Josephus the historian-turned-traitor, and fearless queens who shaped the fight. Packed with ancient drama and lessons for today, Strauss's book brings one of history's most remarkable struggles to life.

Jews vs. Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the World's Mightiest Empire (Simon & Schuster, 2025) by Barry Strauss recounts the history and events of three major uprisings: the Great Revolt of 66–70 CE, which led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, culminating in the Siege of Masada, where defenders chose mass suicide over surrender; the Diaspora Revolt, ignited by heavy taxes across the Empire; and the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Strauss has a way with telling stories that makes his subjects come alive. One walks away from his book not just knowing what happened, but with an appreciation for the different voices in the room, those supporting rebellion, those siding with Rome, the local leaders at the time, and the Roman governors and emperors who suppress these rebellions. We meet pivotal figures such as Simon Bar Kokhba but also some of those lesser-known women of the era like Berenice, a Jewish princess who played a major role in the politics of the Great Revolt and was improbably the love of Titus—Rome's future emperor and the man who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Today, echoes of those battles resonate as the Jewish nation faces new challenges and conflicts. Jews vs. Rome offers a captivating narrative that connects the past with the present, appealing to anyone interested in Rome, Jewish history, or the compelling true tales of resilience and resistance. Barry Strauss is a leading historian of antiquity and the author of numerous books. He is a former Chair of Cornell's Department of History as well as a former Director of Cornell's Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, where he studied modern engagements from Bosnia to Iraq and from Afghanistan to Europe.  He is also Corliss Page Dean Fellow at the Hoover Institution. Rabbi Marc Katz is the Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, NJ. His most recent book is Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life (JSP).  Learn more about your ad choices.

In diesem Kapitel der Expansionskriege Israels schauen wir unter anderem, wie sich immer mehr Juden, sogar auch Zionisten, von der israelischen Regierung distanzieren, andererseits in Deutschland Propaganda für die Ermordung von Journalisten geübt wird.Ein Standpunkt von Jochen Mitschka.Das wahre JudentumImmer mehr jüdische Menschen, sogar Zionisten begannen sich für eine Tapferkeitsmedaille zu qualifizieren, indem sie gegen die politische Elite des Westens aufbegehrten. Einer dieser Menschen, der als „letzte moralischen Autorität Israels“ genannt wurde, Avraham [Avrum] Burg, ehemaliger Sprecher der Knesset und ehemaliger Vorsitzender der Zionistischen Weltorganisation, rief eine Million Juden weltweit dazu auf, den Internationalen Gerichtshof zu ersuchen, Israel wegen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit anzuklagen. Die Essenz dessen, was er schrieb war für mich deshalb so wichtig, weil ich es als Nichtjude seit Jahren immer wieder versuchte zu erklären.In einem Beitrag auf Substack (1) erklärte er, dass es keine einheitliche Definition gebe, was ein „Jude“ sei. Es gebe unterschiedliche Auffassungen, ob sich ein Jude durch Religion, Genetik, Kultur, Nationalität oder rechtlichen Status definiere. Israel hätte aus dem Wirrwar eine Verschmelzung von Religion, Land, Macht, Sprache und Souveränität gemacht, was eine Mutation darstelle, die angeblich Judentum sei.„In diesem Moment der israelischen Geschichte haben sich drei dieser Elemente – Religion, Macht und Land – zu bösartigen Wucherungen entwickelt. Die Macht ist zu groß geworden und wird nun in den Diensten der pathologischsten Interpretationen des Judentums eingesetzt, die auf Eroberung und Herrschaft aus sind. Der unmittelbare Preis dieses Krebsgeschwürs ist der Verlust der israelischen Souveränität. Die Macht wurde gewalttätigen, messianischen Milizen übergeben; ihre Bandenführer dienen nun als Minister. Gemeinsam, von oben und von unten gleichzeitig, haben sie den israelischen Staat zerschlagen. Dieses Land existiert nicht mehr.“ (2)Diese destruktiven Elemente, so der Autor weiter, waren im jüdischen Volk schon immer präsent, wurden aber meist eingedämmt, marginalisiert und unterdrückt. Jetzt aber, nach zweitausend Jahren, haben sie die Kontrolle übernommen und setzten ihre dunkelsten Impulse um. Jeder Jude müsse sich nun zwei grundlegenden Fragen stellen:„Was ist meine jüdische Identität? Und bin ich mit ihnen oder gegen sie?“Es gebe keinen Mittelweg mehr, und es dürfe ihn nicht geben.Er argumentierte dann mit Hinweis auf die jüdische Vergangenheit, wie sie in alten Schriften niedergelegt wurden, aber sieht sie vollkommen anders als die derzeitige Regierung Israels. Sich auf ihre Seite zu stellen, so meinte er bedeute, sich auf die Seite der verheerenden Mächte der Vergangenheit zu stellen. Auf die Seite, welche einen rücksichtslosen und wahnhaften Aufstand gegen das Römische Reich startete und die Zerstörung des Zweiten Tempels und unsägliches Leid über das jüdische Volk brachte. Sich auf ihre Seite zu stellen, bedeute, die biblischen Gebote der Vernichtung der einheimischen Nationen und den Mythos vom Massenselbstmord in Masada anzunehmen (3). Es bedeute, einer separatistischen, rassistischen Kultur zu folgen: einer Welt, in der Nichtjuden verachtet und Juden auserwählt und verehrt werden....https://apolut.net/israels-armeechef-gegen-besatzung-gazas-von-jochen-mitschka/ Hosted on Acast.

Maya asked, looking at him with concern.He: "שקט כזה לא מתאים לך".En: "Such quiet doesn't suit you."He: איתן השפיל את עיניו, בטוח שמאיה לא תוכל להבין את העומס שעל לבו, למרות תמיכתה האינסופית.En: Eitan lowered his eyes, certain that Maya wouldn't be able to understand the burden on his heart, despite her unwavering support.He: "פשוט... חושב," השיב איתן בקצרה.En: "Just... thinking," Eitan replied briefly.He: הוא ידע שבקרוב יהיה חייב לדבר עם עמרי.En: He knew he would soon have to talk to Omri.He: ידע שזה חייב להיעשות כאן על פסגת מצדה, במקום שבו הם יכולים לדבר על הכל בלי שאף אחד יפריע.En: He knew it had to be done here on the summit of Masada, where they could talk about everything without interruption.He: עמרי עמד בצד, מוריד מים בקופסת מים שנשאה במהלך הטיפוס.En: Omri stood to the side, drinking water from a bottle he carried during the climb.He: הוא לא שם לב למבטי הספק של איתן, מרוכז בעצמו ובמחשבותיו.En: He didn't notice Eitan's doubtful glances, lost in his own thoughts.He: איתן לקח נשימה עמוקה ופנה אליו.En: Eitan took a deep breath and turned to him.He: "עמרי, אני צריך לדבר איתך."En: "Omri, I need to talk to you."He: עמרי הסתובב אליו, מבטו תמה.En: Omri turned to him, his expression puzzled.He: "מה קורה, איתן?" שאל.En: "What's going on, Eitan?" he asked.He: הם התרחקו מעט ממאיה, שהמשיכה להביט על הנוף עוצר הנשימה, והחלו לפסוע לכיוון קצה התחבורה ההיסטורית.En: They moved a bit away from Maya, who continued to gaze at the breathtaking view, and began to walk toward the edge of the historic site.He: "אני יודע על הסוד שדיברת עליו," אמר איתן בשקט אך בבירור, "ואני צריך להבין מה הוא אומר לנו".En: "I know about the secret you talked about," Eitan said quietly but clearly, "and I need to understand what it means for us."He: עמרי הביט בו, מופתע.En: Omri looked at him, surprised.He: "לא התכוונתי שתגלה ככה," אמר בנימה מתנצלת.En: "I didn't mean for you to find out like that," he said apologetically.He: "רק רציתי לפתוח את הנושא כי חשבתי שזה חשוב."En: "I just wanted to bring it up because I thought it was important."He: איתן נשם עמוק, והחל לשאול את עמרי על פרטי הסוד.En: Eitan took a deep breath and began asking Omri about the details of the secret.He: הם דיברו במשך זמן מה, גילויים על המשפחה התגלגלו במילים בזה אחר זה, עד שאיתן החל להרגיש תחושת הקלה מתפשטת בתוכו.En: They talked for a while, revelations about the family unfolding in words one after another, until Eitan began to feel a sense of relief spreading within him.He: לבסוף, עם השחר השוקע מאחוריהם, עמרי דיבר בכנות: "מה שלא יהיה, אנחנו עדיין משפחה.En: Finally, with the sunrise behind them, Omri spoke sincerely: "Whatever happens, we're still family.He: ואני כאן בשבילך."En: And I'm here for you."He: איתן הרגיש תחושת ביטחון מול החיבור המחודש.En: Eitan felt a sense of security from the renewed connection.He: הוא הבין שהאמת, אפילו כואבת, היא חיונית לחזק את הקשרים ביניהם.En: He realized that the truth, even if painful, is essential to strengthen their bonds.He: וכך, על פסגת מצדה, כשהשמש זרחה במלוא הדרה, הרגיש איתן חזק ומוכן להתמודד עם העתיד.En: And so, on the summit of Masada, as the sun shone in all its glory, Eitan felt strong and ready to face the future.

Argentinian-born and Milan-based, Yamila's personality was moulded by South American tribal rhythms, progressive rock synths, and dreamy sounds from alternative and electronic music. Shifting her choir experience into her sets, vocals and chorus became a core feature of her musical identity: a proper voice in the flow designed for the dancefloor. After 5 years of delving deep into Berlin's techno culture, she brought back in Italy her emotional approach to music, slowly paving her way into the electronic music scene both as an organiser and a DJ. In 2021 she became resident DJ and active member of Closer, an authentic institution for inclusive and immersive party seekers: playing at Masada and Amelia, collaborating with high-calibre crews such as Bassiani, Tresor, Fuse, Vault Sessions and Meat Free, and sharing the booth with exquisite international DJs allowed her to develop a tight bond and an extraordinary sensitivity towards the dancefloor and its fluctuating moods. A mélange of evocative descriptors encapsulates Yamila's auditory signature: passionate beats, uplifting grooves, peak-hour frequencies, drum-fuelled rhythms. But most of all, the essence of her sound cross-pollinates a wide spectrum of feelings and emotions, framed in an ethereal atmosphere and directed to touch your soul like a loving caress.

Sometimes in life, good things come to an end. On that note, today marks the 31st anniversary of Wrestlemania 10, where the culmination of the Lex Express came to a crashing end thanks to the Bret Hart Conspiracy train. Anchored by your main pal E of Nattering With E, I'm joined today by the legendary Peapod of Ruthless Pro Wrestling, to recap Lex's final obstacle at Wrestlemania 10. We also broke down both of RPW's joint shows with SVN and realized maybe our beloved Cagematch isn't as accurate as you thought. Lastly, we hypothesize about why two death match legends, Nick Gage and Masada can't be friends. As always, support our local distributor, Visionaries Global Media, where you can get your podcasts. Look up Nattering With E! Peapod can be found here via his link tree https://linktr.ee/PeapodCalls4U?

Chris sent this question for Murray, asking him to expand on one of his articles in the magazine. 'I recently read your article on the siege of Masada in Ancient Warfare magazine. I had a couple of questions regarding the assumptions made about the shortened timeline of the siege. Specifically, you mentioned two assumptions supporting the idea of a shorter siege. Could you provide more information or sources to support this hypothesis? Additionally, I have a colleague who views Josephus's work with scepticism, considering him a collaborator whose writings might have served as Roman propaganda. Given this perspective, I wondered why there seems to be such heavy reliance on Josephus, especially considering the article's focus on Legion X Fretensis rather than Josephus's narrative.'

Peut-on être artiste et businessman ?Apparemment oui. Arthur Benzaquen refuse de laisser les étiquettes le brider.À la fin des années 90, sa famille entame les démarches pour vendre le Ken Club, leur club de sport, mais Arthur s'y oppose, voyant la montée de l'intérêt pour le sport et la fin des années Rock'n roll et débauche.Avec son frère, ils reprennent l'affaire familiale et font exploser le business : le chiffre d'affaires devient... leur marge.Arthur crée le groupe Masada et multiplie les projets de salles de sport au positionnement ultra-premium jusqu'à racheter également le Club Med Gym (CMG).Les succès sont phénoménaux à chaque fois.
