A00081 - The Return of Benjamin Netanyahu

 

News reports are indicating that Benjamin Netanyahu will soon return to power in Israel

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/02/benjamin-netanyahu-thanks-voters-as-exit-poll-puts-him-ahead-in-israel-election

and that the government that will be formed by Netanyahu will perhaps be the most right wing Israeli government ever. 

Given these developments, it is probably more timely than ever that we become more informed about what is occurring in Israel and, perhaps, that we begin to better understand why Netanyahu's return to power is likely to exacerbate the Trouble in the Tribe.

Subject: Book of the Month for November 2022: Trouble in the Tribe

On the Tuesday, October 18, 2022, PBS Newshour, Dov Waxman was interviewed concerning the perceived rise in anti-semitism in American discourse.  


I found Mr. Waxman to be a rather articulate source on the subject matter and, after reading his Wikipedia profile, I became intrigued by a couple of the titles of his books.  

Accordingly, based on previous posts, I find myself drawn to reading  Trouble in the Tribe: The American Jewish Conflict over Israel

https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691168999/trouble-in-the-tribe

It will be my November 2022 Book of the Month. You are welcome to read the book along with me.  I think it will be enlightening for us all.

Peace,

A00173 - The 'Spiritual Wonder" of Van Gogh's Starry Night

  My "This Day in Science" calendar for Wednesday, July 12, reports: "2016: Scientists recreate  The Starry Night  with genetic material "Scientists from the California Institute of Technology demonstrated the ability to precisely fold and arrange genetic material in a very artistic way -- by replicating a dime-width version of Vincent van Gogh's painting  The Starry Night .  Scientists stuck over 65,000 photonic crystal "lamps" filled with fluorescent molecules to the DNA scaffold.  Though entertaining, the artistic process also represented a serious step forward in precision manipulation of genetic material, which researchers say is essential for microscale manipulation of genetic constructs for drug delivery improvements and other uses." Here is a link to the article announcing the accomplishment: Scientists recreate Van Gogh's Starry Night with fluorescent DNA | Science | AAAS Reading this Day in Science post brought to mind the most start

A00244 - Fatima Bernawi, The First Female Palestinian Resistance Organizer

  March is Women's History Month Women's History Month - Wikipedia and on March 11, Ramadan began Ramadan (calendar month) - Wikipedia Ramadan was the time when it was hoped that the Israel-Hamas War would be paused for humanitarian reasons  Israel–Hamas war - Wikipedia but it was not.  In a previous email (see below), I discuss the legacy of the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre which gave rise to the Nakba. Sadly, the 75th-year anniversary of the Nakba has predictably proven to be woefully tragic. As a student of history, I sense that the result of this latest episode of the Nakba will not bring peace but will produce a generation of young Palestinians who are committed to resist. One example of such historical resistance fighters created by the Nakba was Fatima Bernawi    Fatima Bernawi - Wikipedia I encourage everyone to become aware of her story.  I found it intriguing not just because she was the first Palestinian woman to organize a resistance attack in Israel, but also because
