Many brave people are going with the Gaza Flotilla II assembling in the Med right now.  The Zionist Entity has made its usual revolting attempts to stop the ships before they sail and smear the people but the ships are going.  Shame on Greece, Cyprus, The USA, Canada, France and Australia for telling their citizens not to participate.  Interestingly The Zionist Entity is claiming that people on the flotilla entering Gazan waters 'will be treated as individuals having attempted to enter Israel illegally' (Jerusalem Post) thus demonstrating that they consider Gaza to be under the authority of the Zionist Entity...

"And when no elite existed, one could always be imported from elsewhere. Cyrus [the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire], even as he flattered the Babylonians with the attentions he paid to Marduk [Babylonian God], had not ignored the yearnings of the city's deportees, exiles such as the Judaeans, brought to Babylon decades previously - for the Persians had recognised in these wretched captives, and in their homesickness, a resource of great potential.

“PROFESSOR T: 
... Feel sorry for these people here?
These other people are to blame.
Thus, empathy is twisted into hatred ...

... Empathetic reactivity can lead to anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts. What we need is something colder, harder. Something that is actually useful. Compassion.

Kind, caring.
The schemata that scramble the warning signals.
STUDENT 4: Empathetic?
Ah, empathy, so easily manipulated.
We see this so often on the world stage.
Feel sorry for these people here?
These other people are to blame.
Thus, empathy is twisted into hatred.

            NEW MISSIONARY FILM

  A new film depicting scenes in Palestine
was shown at Redruth Picturedrome on
Tuesday and yesterday, and attracted
large audiences.   The picture is the joint
work of Mr. T H. Baxter, secretary of the
Missionary Film Committee in which seven
missionary societies co-operate, and Mr.
Henry Howse, kinematographer to one of
the Shackleton expeditions.

  To avoid the pitfalls of a mere series of
travel pictures on the one hand and of a
religious film of limited appeal on the
other was not an easy task, but the pro-
ducers have been eminently successful.
The film gives a vivid picture of the
Palestine of to-day, with its flourishing 
and up-to-date Zionist colonies, contrasted
With its primitive life, unchanged for
thirty centuries.

Salt - not really worth its weight in gold...

Salt has never, ever been 'worth its weight in gold': that's a
modern myth. You are absolutely correct that extracting salt is
economically trivial, given the infrastructure to do it on a
quasi-industrial scale: it isn't a private individual's backyard hobby,
but it is entirely trivial for polities on the scale of a town or
larger. Salt is also very easy to trade, since it's portable and it
doesn't spoil.
