The Barbarians Decapitate Journalists – When Will Israel Be Punished for That?

Since middle ages, Jews were punished for Black Death epidemics and other tragedies that befell on Gentiles for any reasons, such as bad weather or wars lost against other Gentiles. The State of Israel inherited that old custom with its Jewish population. Therefore it seems quite natural that Israel should be punished for war defeats suffered by its neighboring countries, still more when the defeats were inflicted by Israel. After each of its defensive wars, Israel paid for its victory by being condemned
in the UN and around the world, and by being forced to return the acquired territories. Egypt repeatedly tried to annihilate Israel and was defeated (1956, 1967, 1973), and as in an electronic game it got the lost territories back without paying any price. Israel must be punished for victories it achieved, but also for terrorist attacks it absorbed, and even for favors it provided. History of the Israeli state is unending cycle of successfully neutralized attacks, followed by enforced concessions which induce new attacks. The concessions and peace agreements are imposed on Israel by the whole world, with the assistance of the Israeli fifth column – leftist peace-lovers. Several points on this vicious circle are shown, with last one left open:

1973 Egypt totally defeated, Israel is free to advance to Cairo®

1978 Camp David Accords, Israel is deprived of Sinai in exchange for peace on paper

1991 Israel was attacked by Scud missiles from Iraq, but did not retaliate as a favor to the US and kept the citizens with gas masks in sealed rooms for a month ®

1991 Madrid Conference, Israel was forced to start indirect negotiations with the terrorists

1993 The 1^st intifada ends, 200 Israelis killed and 3000 injured ®

1993 Oslo Accords, Israel recognized terrorist PLO and Arafat, whom it had expelled from Lebanon to distant Tunis in the 1^st Lebanon War in 1982, as negotiation partner while allowing them to settle and operate in Israel

2000 Israel withdrew from Lebanon®

2000 Camp David Summit, Israel negotiated with Arafat and promised to withdraw from many settlements

2005 The 2^nd intifada ends, 1100 Israelis killed and 8300 injured ®

2005 Roadmap for Peace, Israel withdrew from Gaza

2006 2^nd Lebanon war, 165 Israelis killed and 1500 injured, Hezbollah threat was neutralized ®

2007 Annapolis conference, two states solution proclaimed, Israel should be divided

2012 Rockets from Gaza on Israel, 23 Israelis injured ®

2012 The UN upgrades Palestine to non-member observer state status

2014 A half of the Israeli population was attacked by rockets from Gaza and kept in shelters for 50 days, 73 Israelis dead and 530 injured ®

?? When and how will Israel be punished for this, and by what damned peace initiative?

As the Islamic sadistic armies murder everywhere around the Middle East, occasionally decapitating Western journalists, the U.S. prepare a broad coalition against the Islamists; to appease the Islamists within the anti-Islamic coalition, president Barack Hussein Obama and his allies will do their utmost to bring peace upon Israel and to subdue it to make concessions to Palestinian terrorists. Today as in Munich 1938, these peace-lovers, ready for any compromise even with the devil, are more dangerous than ISIS, El Kaida, and Hitler together.

No Need to Panic About Energy Need

Thermonuclear fusion will provide a nearly unlimited amount of energy for the world; ITER will be the first fusion experiment to produce net power by 2040 (www.iter.org).
Methane hydrates (methane/water clathrate) form massive deposits on the seafloor surrounding all continents and may hold more energy than all known reserves of oil, coal and natural gas worldwide (Sci. Am. October 2014, p. 71).
Shale oil can be environmentally safely extracted, and in the U.S. it can provide more energy than normal oil for decades (Sci. Am. November 2011, p. 62).
Known oil sources will provide more oil than predicted due to advanced technologies, increasing the predicted reserves by at least another century; however, the estimated reserves may still increase as they have been increasing throughout the history (Sci. Am. October 2009, p. 36).
Uranium reserves can provide world energy for at least 2,000 years (Vesmír 2008/11, p. 796).

Fragments from Science and Life

Male homosexuality is correlated with maternal immune responsivity to the Y-linked protein NLGN4Y. Mothers form an antibody against a protein important in male fetal brain development, neuroligin 4, located on sex chromosomes, the effect becomes increasingly likely with each male gestation, altering brain structures underlying sexual orientation in their later-born sons. One of the most reliable correlates of male homosexuality – older brothers – is thus explained (PNAS, December 2017). This is the first case of a clear correlation between the sexual orientation and a biochemical factor.
Placebo effect is significant also for operations. A British study has now showed that there was no difference between 100 patients getting a stent in their blocked artery and 100 patients getting a sham surgery (Lancet, November 2017; SciAm, February 2018). The real and fake surgeries included snaking a catheter through an artery in the groin to the blockage with or without a step of widening the narrowed vessel and keeping it open with wire mesh stent. This operation is widely popular, but now it turns out that dugs with lifestyle changes are preferable to the operation. In a meta-analysis of placebo effects in migraine prevention, sugar pills reduced headache frequency for 22% patients, acupuncture for 38% and sham surgery for 58%.
Humans can hold underwater for more than 12 minutes due to mammalian diving reflex, which is common to many vertebrates like dolphins and penguins (see deep diving). The reflex is triggered by cold water and results in drop in heart rate and blood redistribution towards vital organs by means of vasoconstriction; it can override a breathing reflex. This potential we acquired long ago in the evolution can be utilized by practicing, and probably can explain stories about children fallen into a cold well and surviving “a near drowning” for a long time under water.
