Palestinian Hebraists
Palestinians are intensely interested in the Hebrew language, some because they wish to explore their family history, others because it may provide them with some advantage. Interest in Hebrew has soared in the West Bank and Gaza in the past few years. Dozens of journalists are studying Hebrew in Ramallah while a 600-student school in al-Bireh has Hebrew classes. Even more surprisingly, Hamas began teaching Hebrew in its own schools in 2012 and thousands of Gazan children are now learning the language. “They are keen to learn. The classes are already oversubscribed.” It started in Hebron, whose inhabitants are musta'arabim - Jewish descendants (and the Whitest Palestinians). Already in the nineteen twenties Arab families from Hebron petitioned to enroll their children in Jewish schools. Ill.: The Hebrew workbook of Ruhi al-Khalidi, who later represented the District of Jerusalem in the Ottoman Parliament in 1908.

The Fourteen Infallibles
The Shia'a religion is a minority within the Islam, and has a secret esoteric nucleus, the Twelvers. The concept does not end there, they maintain an even more secret belief in the Infallibles. Basically it is an apocalyptical - end of the universe - belief, similar to many others, like the one that distributed poisoned Cool-Aid in Guyana. As far it is known, Jews are not present in their imagination. The Ayatollahs of Iran may believe they are of those select individuals, yet their actions are of regular clerical dictatorships, like territorial and spiritual conquest. Since I started thinking on these things, I am always surprised how the West (Iran is the West too) never takes into account the Chinese, as if they were not the largest and most advanced portion of the human race. They are far away, but not anymore.

The fabric of the universe
A respectable Israeli space scientist said that the USA is in contact with extra-terrestrials and that is the reason that President Trump has established a Space Force. That here is a Galactic Federation and its objective is to investigate the fabric of the universe.
A month ago the Americans revealed that the UFO phenomenon is real and they posted several filmed encounters. Three years ago appeared Oumuamua the first known interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System. Astronomer Loeb entertained the possibility that it is a spacecraft. Later it was established that it was not.

Expropriating Argentine Multi-Millionaires
The Argentine Congress passed a law taxing multi-millionaires and, in the same law, extreme environmental measures against rural fires. Basically, a field devastated by fire cannot be cultivated again and becomes something like an environmental reserve. Regarding the wealth tax, the upper ten thousand will have to pay about 5% of its worth, and the double if the money is stationed in foreign banks. The cutting point is a declared capital (liquid and real estate) of 2.3 million US$. I am shocked that the middle class 2.3 million dollars puts one in the multi millionaire category, since any penthouse in Israel is worth that, and most shocking is that only ten thousand persons qualify. Credit Suisse and HSBS would not even talk to those paupers. There are at most only three or four billionaires among 45 million Argentines, according to the wiki. Argentina is not a country that produces rich people anymore.

The Collapse of Iran
Iran is one of the oldest historic civilizations, once it comprised half humanity, was larger than China and Europe. How did it arrived to its current pitiful state? Iran collapsed definitely in the 13th Century, erased by Genghis Khan exterminating 90% plus of the population. The same catastrophe fell on Iraq, the whole population of Baghdad was killed. (Europa was half-saved because its forests were unsuitable for Mongol cavalry). Iran and Iraq were repopulated by Bedouin tribes and immigrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Iran of the Ayatollahs has little connection with the Persia of Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes. Nothing ever stays the same.
