Documentary

"The Settlers", 2016

"The settlement enterprise is a bubble that exists outside the legal system, the border system, the social system of Israel.

"400,000 settlers are living in the midst of 2.8 million Palestinians living under a separate set of laws, deprived of basic human rights within this territory with an economic status about one-twentieth of that of the settlers that live near them."
~Filmmaker Shimon Dotan

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Defense Minister Gallant has announced he will expand the law to allow Israeli settlers, who were evicted during a 2005 disengagement plan, to return to settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Settlers are Israeli citizens who live illegally on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The vast majority of the settlements have been built either entirely or partially on private Palestinian land.

A Student's Guide to Right, Left and Truth by Alan E. Singer, 2020

This book is an augmented adaptation of the author's 2018 book Understanding Left and Right (Nova). It further reinforces the message that sustained truth-seeking leads people toward the political center. Each chapter offers divide-bridging discussions of issues such as regulation, taxation, corporate-strategy and personal identity, along with the very ideas of knowledge, truth and goodness.

Former ICC official Eric Witte says that the decision does not imply that the actions of each side’s leaders are equal but that they will be “equally scrutinised under the law”.

“It’s impossible to compare the two. “But what we can say is that victims on both sides are deeply deserving of justice, accountability …"

“There are standards even during wartime. Even if you feel your cause is justified, it doesn’t mean that you can use any means whatsoever to pursue that cause.”

The vanity of life | Wadi Rum desert, #Jordan

Photographer Mihail Minkov: ‘The concept behind this shot is to highlight the stark contrast between the vastness of the cosmos and the minuscule nature of humanity. The composition intentionally draws the viewer’s focus to a small figure, underscoring our insignificance in the grand scheme of the universe, while the majestic Milky Way core dominates the background.
