The Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on this day in 1863.
"......that all persons held as slaves....are, and henceforward shall be free...
And upon this act I invoke the gracious favor of Almighty God."
Abraham Lincoln.
There were about 3,000 incidents of cross border violence perpetrated on Israel by "Palestinians" in 1952.
In the years 1951-1955, 503 Israelis were killed by Arab terrorists infiltrating from Jordan, 358 killed in attacks from Egypt, and 61 from Syria and Lebanon, most were innocent civilians.
This is why Israel undertook to"occupy" the West Bank and Gaza. The topography of the land made it necessary.
They were, and still are, defending themselves from invaders.
"The flesh is forever moving from present posessions to future ones. It loses the former in the persuit of the latter and thus deprives itself of the use of both." Martin Luther.
Why is it if someone tells you there are one billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if the tell you a wall has wet paint you will touch it to be sure?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen are defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and drycleaners depressed?
Shalom, Y'all
