this is precisely the kind of war that god demands of the israelites.in which the israelites themselves are not even really participants in. the israelites are essentially nothing more than the pawns whereby god destroys his enemies himself. when you look at the great wars of the hebrew bible. the destruction -- or any of these tribes this israelites destroyed, the bible makes it very clear, these enemy is did not fall to israel. israel's arms, israel's weapons, israel's might was irrelevant. it was god that destroyed the armies, and it wasn't so much the god of the jews, the god of the israelites destroyed this tribes if it's that god destroyed the gods of these other tribes the very concept of divine war in the ancient mind has less to do with armies fighting each other thanked did with god -- than when gods destroying each. others when israel destroyed the canyonites, the god of israel was destroying the god of cain, and to at the next level, when the babylonians destroyed the israelites it wasn't the two armies fighting each. others it was the god o

each other it was the god of babylon beast writing the god of the israelites. and indeed the very notion of the mono c. is on the way that we understand it, the notion that there is just one god and no other is a fairly late notion in the bible. it doesn't really show up until after the captivity in 586 bc. abraham was not a monotheist. he believed that his god was the highest god. he believed his god was the highest god and by the way, moses's got .-full-stop abrahams. he was called al and moses. he was a canaanite and he was an egyptian. it's only after the captivity that they become a single god as the scholars sometimes refer to them and the concept is born. all of this is to say that notion of the define war that we human beings are merely pawns in the cosmic conflict between the forces of good and evil, between angels and demons that this battle is not really taking place on earth. it's taking place in the heavens but in deed it is an eternal battle one in which the forces of good will eventually defeat the forces of evil. this is a phenomenon that you fi

40 years to get egypt out of the israelites.hat is the problem i comes to poor people, too. you have to understand your destiny is determined by your response to adversity. it isn't the absence of adversity that determines winners or losers. that is a fact of the matter. that should prevail in our policy approaches. poorermississippi is than massachusetts. it has been poor for forever. it is not because they choose to be poor. it is because one has a superior educational investment structure lets not blame individuals. there's no way you can explain the pattern of poverty as being primarily the result of individual choices. these are cultures and regions and classes. it is increasingly a class issue. the federal government shower small businesses with all sorts of aid. there are all kinds of subsidies. if anything, there is a built-in favoritism in favor of small businesses. a major complaint is the cost of benefits. support the ability of entrepreneurs to support small businesses, you should want benefits paid out of taxes so e

a formal statement -- we have not had many of those -- from the israelit military which i think is beginninggive us possibly some clarity about the situation. what we are not clear of is the timeline: when did that soldier go missing? there is also reports floating around maybe there are some other soldiers attacked at the same time. no confirmation on that from the israeli military at this stage. but what was the timeline of that and is that what then led to those airstrikes and all of that fighting we saw in rafah but also in other parts of gaza. a number of strikes as you have seen reported by nithose in gaz >> you told us earlier as well the timeline is very important because, also, the accusations that rockets had been fired from gaza into israel at around about the time the ceasefire was supposed to be implemented and that the israeli had given their populous a warning via mobile text message. >> absolutely. what happens here is that you can sign up on your mobile phone to get warnings. there is an automated system. so we do know the times that rockets were fired. it's perhaps now not

ven the codirectors are split some of the possible culprits are in egypt and's or canaanites or israelitess the eternal --, or internal rebellion. even when we have destruction, we do not always know what caused it. in some cases, though, it's quite clear. when you have a site destroyed by an earthquake, then we frequently know it. if the whole city is destroyed and you do not have arrowheads, it's pretty much sure that it's mother nature that destroyed it. for instance, here, we have a map of most of the sites that are destroyed in the aegean and eastern mediterranean at the end of the late bronze age. if you overlay this on top of a map where earthquakes have happened just in the last century, you can see that almost all of the sites are in the earthquake zones. if you have earthquakes there now, you had them back then. one might suggest that a number of the destructions are caused not by humans but by mother nature. in fact, the faultlines run throughout this area. there's the north anatolian fault line, another series that goes down through greece. one comes right up to the rift valley
