Day Four Of The War - Six Day War Project

In just three days, Israel successfully neutralized the threat from Egypt in the South and Jordan in the East, with Arab forces in retreat in the West Bank. But on June 8th, an Israeli plane mistakenly attacked the USS Liberty, an American electronic surveillance ship sailing offshore.

De lange weg naar de vrijheid……………..

Het verdriet groeide dagelijks in haar ogen. ‘Er is geen plaats voor geluk in mijn leven’, zei Aviva Shalit vele keren in de vijf en een half jaar dat Gilad gevangen zat in de Gaza Strip. Het moment dat dat de ‘deal’ over de vrijlating van Gilad was goedgekeurd verscheen er een enorme lach op het gezicht van zijn moeder, voor het eerst in al die jaren. Toen op 25 juni 2006 het nieuws over de kidnapping van Gilad het

Bethsaida Excavations Reveal Possible Royal Escape Tunnel

An escape tunnel may have been identified underneath the Iron Age palace at Bethsaida. The tunnel would have served the royal elites living in the palace. Bethsaida was in the early first century CE a fishing village. According to the New Testament, Bethsaida was known as the birthplace of the Apostles Andrew, Peter, and Philip; John 1:44: "Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter". The area of Bethsaida was referred in the new testament in conjunction

International Holocaust Day

In 2005, the United Nations designated 27 January as an International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. The reason this date was chosen, is that on that day, in 1945, the Red Army liberated the concentration and death camp of Auschwitz. This was not the end of the slaughter of World War II, which cost the lives of some 35 million people, most of them civilians. The war was to continue for over three months more. Some ten days prior to the l
