ancient greece in philosophy as it was before created religions you know in the middle east you know judaism and then christianity etc and the idea of unity that everything comes from a single source is incredibly powerful in our way of thinking right and a hindu person would not think that way you know because they have busy lives of gods right so for them days maybe unity had the ultimate source of all god's kind of thing but it's not as compelling as the notion that everything is in one and i am all for looking for unity in science in fact my ph d. and for many years in my career i was doing superstring theory and looking for unification too but as i grew older i started to realize that. you can pursue a theoretical dream for a long time as long as they some sort of data backing you up and what has happened with the theory of everything is that decades have passed talk about 50 years have passed you know people have been looking for this and actually even before you freak out einstein you know einstein spent the last 20 years of his career looking for a theory they would unify gravity and

ruling 2 days ago came on the grounds of mental health and on the basis that you know so much is in judaism years of psychological torture the most notorious prison in the united kingdom belmarsh prison and so this very same argument that got him off the hook on monday seemed to be the ones that have meant that his bells continue even today so it's very mixed messages coming from the u.k. the justice system according to his campaign is they also saying though that justice will provide quite hopeful that in time this decision will be u. turn but of course we all seeing that many campaign is have been really fighting the fight not just in terms of tunis on just mental and physical health but also the political implications as well because 2 days ago the judge ruled that this was not a politically motivated case and so many people would argue actually the complete opposite and has complete political implications not just in terms of june the sergeant this case but on the worldwide journalism as well in terms of the defense that you know sort of the day it was all about whether or not he would

the pandemic i understand twitter deleted a tweet of you was about mosques so it's really do with judaism it wasn't and i never heard there's been ciro change in my belief or the president's belief about mast 0 what was deleted what let me state the policy that i advised and that he has stated dozens and dozens of times where i've asked when you cannot socially distance particularly. when you are high risk or near a high risk person that's that's what that's a reasonable policy it is unreadable it is irrational and that i will tell you what was the lead on twitter it is irrational to think that you should wear a mask when you're in the middle of a desert when you're in your car driving all alone when you're running outside and are all all that is not rational you don't even have to be a scientist to understand that that is absurd and that is a result of the fear instilled by people who just insist on sort of these kinds of os it's not really analyzing that they had on the starts and what was deleted on twitter was the following i was tweeting that the mask mandates generalize population u

their task was to resurrect judaism. they were all clear about that.the polls believed in exile, the anti-communist, that it was their job and the task and mission to resurrect the cultural nationalism and keep it alive. so, this wasn't one of the deep victimizations, but one of preparation for the next days of their lives, which they hoped and they knew would follow. >> this is from david. my father was a jewish refugee that escaped in 1838 and was in australia until 1942 and then returned to england. he came to the united states in may of 48, as a displaced person because the quota was too small and already filled. how could he have come as a displaced person when the act wasn't passed until june? >> i haven't talked about it in this interview, it was a truman directive and in large part because he couldn't get the british to move, he said the german and the austrian quotas would be in line and number two, he set up offices in and around the displaced persons camps to provide visas for those who could establish german or austrian citizenship in some

he attacked and judaism as a religion.rtin spent final years to holocaust denial organizations on topics of of tactics. kristin clark strongly approved of tony martin and we are not speculating because as she told the crimson after his speech "professor martin is an intelligent, well versed, black intellectual who bases his information on indisputable facts." so we can, directly from kristin clark, tony martin's anti-semitism was based on "indisputable fact." kristin clark has never shared these views. they simply have become more sophisticated. just last year as a law year, was fighting for the crudest kind of racial discrimination in college admission. this fall, she said it was madness for the federal government to take the side of asian applicants who had provable bentonite college admissions purely because of their skin color. but tough luck as far as kristin clark was concerned, those asians didn't have enough melanin and melon and is the k key. speaking of madness, in the same country someone like kristin clark woul

interesting thing about religion is that if you look at religions, if you talk to islam or rabbis or judaism, pretty much it does not matter across-the-board if you talk to them about duty -based moral restraint or the idea that moral restraints, a little softer idea that moral restraint is more important than advocacy. doing harm is a more morally significant thing than doing good. they almost all agree with me. so the problem really isn't that duty -based moral restraint is somehow inconsistent with a lot of religions out there. the problem as it is an idea that's a little bit more refined than most of the thinking and most of the religions. so sometimes it helps to simply refine an idea. it wasn't so long ago in this country the very same prevailing religion that produced a high society, a fair number of americans were able to use those exact moral beliefs to justify racism in their mind. to justify slavery in particular. sometimes religion can give us a foundation. i believe, i am kind of optimistic that as long as the ideas pushed out into the religious community, almost all religions a

vague formulations about divergent views, there is nothing explicit referencing the bible, jews, judaismthere are a few references to christianity and they are mostly negative. including as a cause of the conquest of the new world, and participants in colonizing and exploiting native populations in africa. but there is no mention made of christiana's history as a driving motivation behind the abolition of slavery. nor about its motivation for charitable social activity or the civil rights movement. no mention is made of the common use of biblical quotations and beliefs in political pamphlets during period. for example thomas payne's "common sense" uses biblical quotations. the constitutional convention is framed through the lens of an event fostered by social and political groups. that was certainly a critical element. it leaves out the impact of brilliant individual founders, great man who had sometimes rise above nearly representing the interests of different factions. the only substantive thing identified back over content are compromises over the representations of slave states and c

of jewish life in germany and that is a reminder especially to right wing nationalists who reject judaism as elie and the jews in fact have been here far longer than germany has been a nation state and this ceremony takes place at a moment of some urgency when the president of the bundestag conchoidal put it anti-semitism is once again rearing its ugly head as we also just heard from so.
