Has ever been anything called Palestina?

One of the most common statement I have heard lately is that has not ever existed a “Palestinian” state. This is historically not correct and it is quite easy to find historical sources that talk about “Palestine” as a geographical and political entity. Specific references to “Palestine” date back nearly five hundred years before “the time of Jesus.” In the 5th Century BCE, Herodotus, the first historian in Western civilization, referenced “Palestine” numerous times in chronicle of the ancient world, The Histories, including the following passage describing “Syrians of Palestine”: “…they live in the coastal parts of Syria; and that region of…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: jew

Words change with changing the time: change in meaning, pronunciation, spelling and so on. Today I’ve learned that there is another word I were not aware of the modern meaning, this word is Jew. Actually this is a word that have had different meanings through the recent and not so recent history, in my naïve vision the word was referring to someone who is a member of a specific religion or religious group but today I’ve learned a more specific set of meanings. Accordingly to social networks and broadcast media today the word assume different meaning but somehow I’ve been able…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: Communist

They’re “Communists“. – This is a common way to express a feeling against someone.

If you’re against me so you’re “communist”, so it…

Different points of view

I just asked a simply question today on some social networks: when did ideologies and religious myths have overridden historical and fact analysis? There are plenty of ideological discussion masked as analysis of what is happening in the world today. It seems that rationality has lost the right to be present when people is talking about serious facts as war, riots and similar events. I know that going out of our comfort zone is not nice, but ignoring, misrepresent or partly use facts, history and evidences it is not the best way to solve situations. not here, not in Ferguson,…

Israel will destroy Hamas tunnels no matter what

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will not end its operation in Gaza until Hamas tunnels have been destroyed. Hamas has used an extensive network of tunnels to launch attacks on targets in Israel. Netanyahu maintains that Israel will push forward with efforts to destroy the tunnels “with or without a ceasefire.” Meanwhile, Israeli shelling continues unabated. Nearly 100 people died in Gaza on Wednesday, including 16 who were killed when Israeli artillery hit a UN-run school in Jabaliya district of Gaza City. On Thursday, the U.N.’s top human rights official, Navi Pillay, accused both Israel and Hamas of committing…
