Unstoppable fear meets immovable humiliation
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: he Israeli-Palestinian conflict is really about fear vs. humiliation. The Jews are fearful of the Palestinians and the Palestinians feel humiliated by the Jews. The Jewish people collectively suffer post-traumatic stress and anxiety disorders after millennia of persecution culminating in the Holocaust and multiple Wars in Israel against far greater Arab forces. Further, this has been perpetuated by decades of terrorism and Intifadas that have left the Jews feeling vulnerable in their own land of Israel. The net effect of this Jewish history and of being surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs, many resentful and angry, is that Jews are naturally afraid. At the same time, the Palestinians, as part of the greater Arabs, feel humiliated after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the carving up of their lands by the West and the colonialism and occupation that followed by Britain and France. More recently, the Palestinians feel humiliated by the founding of the State of Israel amidst the multitude of Arab lands of the Middle of East, as well as by the barrier wall and regular checkpoints that protects Israel from terrorist intruders, by the West Bank settlements (and actually by Jews anywhere in Israel), and by general Israeli military control over the territories.

A jury initially awarded Burnett $1.6 million in damages but the judge reduced it to $800,000. On appeal, the court further reduced the punitive damages to $150,000, upholding $50,000 in compensatory damages.

Fate, Family and the Emmergence of the Modern Tragedy
This document provides an analysis of how modern tragedies have adapted the concept of fate or an unavoidable downfall presented in ancient Greek tragedies to make it relatable to modern audiences. It discusses how William Shakespeare's King Lear and Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night replaced the ancient idea of fate with the modern concept of inheritance and familial ties, over which individuals have no control. This allows the plays to still inspire pity and fear in audiences by showing how the characters are products of their family situation rather than being truly at fault for their own demise.
The Local Church Of Christ #1
In the Bible there were local churches of Christ (Rom.16:16). What were they like? How did people enter and become members in a local church? Is it necesary? Can one be faithful to God without ever joining and being faithful in a local church of Christ?

Chaos of Reconstruction, Terror After the Civil War
What can we learn by reflecting on the severe difficulties the Union Army Major Merrill faced when attempting to protect the civil rights of newly freed slaves in the Confederate South?
The book, Bloody Shirt, Terror After the Civil War, is not a broad-brush history of Jim Crow and Reconstruction, but rather it is a story of individual communities where Southern citizens, including many white Christians, were quick to support the violent terrorism of the KKK, or Ku Klux Klan night-riders, in the dark days following the Civil War.

We also reflect on:
• Origin of the phrase, Bloody Shirt.
• How Major Merrill sought to protect the civil rights, due process, and black suffrage of freed slaves and freedmen in Yorkville, York Country.
• How the Deep South KKK night-riders were responsible for many beatings, lynchings, and murders.
• How President Grant, under the provisions of the Enforcement Act, suspended habeas corpus, empowering the Union Army to arrest those guilty of lynchings and terrorism against negroes, and ordered the dissolution of the Ku Klux Klan.
• How Southerners did not view the Reconstruction Amendments as a legitimate part of the Constitution.
Contemporary Slaves
Ralph Ellison's short story "Battle Royal" provides commentary on civil rights in the early 20th century. It describes a young black man who is asked to give a speech to prominent white community members but is first forced to participate in a "battle royal", where black men fight blindfolded for money. Though physically freed after the Civil War, the black community still faced social slavery and oppression from powerful whites. The story illustrates how blacks were still reliant on and controlled by whites, even after emancipation. It calls readers to continue fighting for true equality and freedom from unfair racial hierarchies.

Tulsa oklahoma 1921
- The document describes the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, where a white mob attacked the prosperous black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma and destroyed over 35 blocks of homes and businesses.
- Over 10,000 black residents were left homeless and an untold number were killed, though some estimates put the death toll as high as 300. Planes were even used to drop incendiary bombs on the Greenwood district.
- The massacre was sparked by accusations that a young black man assaulted a white woman in an elevator, though he was never convicted. It revealed the deep racial tensions and inequality that still existed after the abolition of slavery.

The document discusses how antagonists in literature are often associated with sex and exploiting others. It notes that vampires feed on humans and represent corrupt older values that prey on innocent youth. Vampires drain the life force from their victims to continue their own undead existence, much like how some view Wall Street traders as exploiting others for selfish gain. As long as people act this way towards each other, the concept of the vampire will remain relevant.

The document discusses how antagonists in literature are often associated with sex and exploiting others. It notes that vampires feed on humans and represent corrupt older values that prey on innocent youth. Vampires continue their existence by stealing the life force of those who matter less to them. The document suggests Wall Street traders act in a similar exploitative way. As long as people exploit each other selfishly, vampires will remain a relevant metaphor. It lists several literary works that feature antagonists who represent these exploitative traits, including Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and A Christmas Carol.
