  • An historical biopic of King Saul with modern-day implications.
  • 00? can also double as a satirical or educational portrayal of Amalek – a tragedy for Sky Tayla who is completely bluffed by Alfred until the very end but she has hunches about the truth along the way.
When Samuel found out about Saul’s disobedience, Saul lost his right to kingship. Samuel then killed Agag himself. However, before he was killed, Agag sired a child who would keep Amalek’s lineage alive. [1]

Chassidic philosophy explains that Amalek represents the pinnacle of evil, the ability to “know G‑d and intentionally rebel.” Most evil can be combated by arguments of reason; not so Amalek. He cynically scoffs at every reason to do good, sowing doubt and confusion...Irrational doubt neutralizes the most convincing arguments or inspiring experiences. Amalek is the constant doubter, brazenly rushing to any sign of passion for holiness and cooling things down. [1]

Chofetz Chaim said that God would perform the elimination of Amalek, and Jews are commanded only to remember what Amalek did to them. [2]

The Legacy of the Dulles Brothers: Stephen Kinzer

“Washington Dulles International Airport …Opened in 1962, it is named after John Foster Dulles (1888–1959), the 52nd U.S. Secretary of State who served under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulles_International_Airport

Obviously an important figure in American history, I first learned of John Foster Dulles (and his brother) when reading the book:
The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People
while in Jerusalem in 2005.

Back then, I had the thought that the book was mis-titled. It should really have been named “The de-prioritization (expendability?) of Israel in the face of advancing oil interests.”

Perhaps this leads to the notion that a Jew, Israeli (or both) may feel like they are being attacked, but they are in fact being de-prioritised (possibly strongly) in the backdrop of larger interests. And with perceived attack comes retaliation.

"I invariably had better days in Jerusalem on the days I donned my Tefellin. They are used to tame the evil inclination and worldly desires. Today, I carry around a Tasmanian quartz crystal and should probably 'dare to wear' the Tefellin again – may God help us all."

from: Israel Revisited – from exile to exodus (part 2/2)

… and save the Queen!

However, it was in Jerusalem that I became interested in crystals (and later orgonite) and purchased many specimens from Ebay.

“The idea of a Sacred Tree, or World Tree, ie Tree of Life, was found in religion and artwork with appropriate cultural depictions throughout the ancient world. The Sacred Tree is seen in ancient Mesopotamia/Sumer by the fourth millennium BCE, and by the second millennium BCE it occurred in ancient Egypt, Greece and the Harappan Culture of the Indus Valley, which would give rise to the Indian gods. The Tree of Life was often associated with the goddesses, such as the Sumerian Inanna, the Egyptian Hathor, and the Canaanite Asherah and would subsequently find expression in later religions and spiritualities such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Kabbalah, and even in the Norse world tree Yggdrasil, and the world tree found in many indigenous cultures.”
