Tomorrow, in honor of the Democratic Convention (aka "Futilities of the Futile"), I will post a little humor, sent to me by my friend, Ethan Miner (thanks, Dr. E). It's a pretty funny movie file that's about a minute or two long. Stay tuned.

On a far more somber note, I just came back from seeing a presentation of "Relentless: The struggle for peace in the Middle East". It is an extremely powerful film, created by Honest Reporting.   If you are interested, you can check out the preview. I strongly recommend the film.

Today is the anniversary of the destruction of both Jewish Temples, in Jerusalem. Ironically, on this date in history, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella exiled the Jews from Spain (in 1492). This, of course, led to further persecution through the Spanish Inquisition. Furthermore, on this date (the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av - also known as Tisha B'Av), in 1914, Germany declared war on Russia, thus beginning World War I. As we all know, that event set the stage for the upcoming Holocaust.

Clearly, this is a day of mourning and reflection throughout the Jewish world.

So, instead, I am posting a link to a vital article, from the Jewish World Review and written by Dennis Prager:

For those of you who are familiar with the Israel-Arab issues, this will sound a little familiar. However, I believe, especially on this day, that hearing it again can only fortify the truth. Please read it.
