Venice today is a beautiful city, but many are unaware of its history as an early republic, and a centuries-long maritime foe of the great Ottoman Empire.
THE ALTERNATIVE With Reno Omokri
Ihave read many views on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and sadly, one fact is clear, most of us outside Israel are taking sides emotionally, rather than rationally. And as a result, we are becoming part of the problem, rather than the solution.
Notice that I say emotionally, as opposed to spiritually. I am not opposed to anyone deciding because he or she feels led by the Spirit of God. But make sure you are being led, not being deluded.
What is happening in Israel and Palestine, is complicated. And unless you understand the intricacies involved, your views and utterances, especially if you happen to have some influence, will complicate matters.
