Post whatever you find

I don't have a TV and don't pay attention to the news much, but today the radio was concerned with the US moving their embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

7507 Israel
63163 Jerusalem

3°32 Sag, heliocentric NN of Israel  
2°25 Gemini, transiting geo Israel
6°15 Gemini, transiting helio Israel 

19°32 Cancer, heliocentric NN of Jerusalem
21°52 Cancer, transiting helio Jerusalem 
1°45 Cancer, transiting Geo Jerusalem

^ Interesting because Pluto has the same helio nodes as Jerusalem (20°32 Cancer Helio NN) and Pluto is transiting on its helio SN (helio Pluto is @ 19°42 Cap). And we see, there's tragedy in Israel again today.

The new move by Trump is not a good thing for Israel at all. It ignores previous agreements and quashes hopes of Palestinians to have their own state. Israel and Palestine, if they were to become a one state nation, would be even more repressive and discriminatory towards Arabs. Overall, this is tragic for the long term.

Good article here written by an Israeli minister (not all Israelis think like Netanyahu).

At least there are world wide protests against the actions of Trump and the Israeli army.

Thanks for sharing your view on it @astrokeen.

The US-Israeli alliance has been quite the juggernaut in the 20th and 21st centuries. Many US politicians hold dual US/Israeli citizenship.

In our quest for equal rights for all people, so many matters come to mind: financial rights, the right to resources, equal rights between the sexes, equal rights for all religions. Everything needs to melded together, but it seems to be taking so incredibly long. I don't see why anyone should be fundamentally more important than anyone else; if we're headed into global governance, I can only hope that will be a guiding precept, that the worlds' resources won't be reserved and allocated to the powerful, but divided and distributed according to need.

Not sure if I sound like a communist or not, I am just sick of poverty, homelessness, lack of the most basic human rights, for way too many people.
