Hmm, possibly. I haven't looked further into it, seeing the map like that just took me by surprise.

@essentialsaltes Am I seeing correctly that Algeria is not green? I'm pretty sure they were the first country to recognize a state of Palestine in 1988. Huh. Same with Indonesia. What's going on there?

Are those 6 points the arguments to justify the title of this thread? Points 1) to 5) aren't even related to Germany/Hitler, and point 6) is about the 1st German Reich, not the 3rd Reich - long before Hitler was a thing. I'm not even American, so I don't need to defend Trump, but I hope you...

The article you quote there literally says: It has nothing to do with Hitler, according to the very source you rely on...

If I'm not mistaken, today is the 141st day of the year. So Biden needs to be corrected around once every day? That does sound like a lot to me.

Sure, but that's also a bit misleading. The Venn diagram of people who identify as transgender and those who experience distress related to their identity is virtually a congruent circle. The distress these people experience is the reason why they require hormone treatment, gender-affirming...

If I'm not mistaken the DSM-5 categorizes gender dysphoria as a mental disorder, doesn't it? Edit: Sorry, just finished the article. It mentions it in the very last paragraph.

I actually had to translate it because pastor Wilhelm Busch wrote the book in German :D I'm glad it helped though, so it was worth the effort! God bless you, nelkaa.

First I would like to say this: The question "Why is God silent?" is wrong. The question sounds as if there was a courtroom: Ms. Spencer or pastor Busch is sitting on the judge's chair. And God sits in the dock. And then we say, "Accused God, how can you allow all of this? Why are you silent?” I...

Hey there, welcome to the forum :) Our understanding of God and our world tends to be skewed if we only consider half of God's character. So I would like to add a few attributes of God's to his mercy, his power and his knowledge: God is also holy, and God is also perfectly just, and God desires...

I might be a bit slow on the uptake here, sorry. Why is the meaning of ב explained twice, but the meaning of י and ת are not mentioned? :scratch:

Like when they were slaves in Egypt? I don't think it needs much to "identify as being victims" when you are treated like the Hebrew people have been treated throughout history.

Perhaps you aren't aware, but there is a unity-government in Israel right now, formed by Netanyahu and the leader of the opposition (Benny Gantz). These decisions aren't "the actions of the current Prime Minister" but the decisions of both sides of the political spectrum in Israel. There is wide...

Yes, Hebrew was a dead language for a very long time - from around 200AD until the end of the 19th century. Eliezer Ben-Yehuda founded the Academy for the Hebrew Language in 1890 and published the first volume of his Hebrew dictionary in 1908. Since Ben-Yehuda was Russian I believe he spoke...

I see that Eyal Noyman's book has exercises as well, that's very good. Once you understood the Hebrew grammar, the Hebrew Duolingo course becomes quite accessible. All you might need to get started on Duolingo then would be a dictionary to look up the new words :) (I personally use the...
