Israel's New Deputy Foreign Minister: 'This Land Is Ours. All Of It Is Ours'

28. Not at all...this amazing film represents it perfectly. I've referred to Hagar and Ishmael re

Abraham...and that's where this particular issue was created (by the Abrahamic god, apparently).

Most of these other players are in some way also mentioned in the supposedly historical version in the Old Testament. Blood and gore for millenia...King after King...other civilizations/cultures have similar events with similar players, just slanted differently.

But some of them come back...notably the Persians, the Jews, the Egyptians, and what is now called the Arabs. Another post refers to Hydra...the multi-tentacled/headed mythological creature, made myth and held in the collective psyche (IMO). Every ME war we chop off one "head" and two more appear. First Iraq, then Iran (too big to bomb so we do the sanction thingy) now Syria/Isis, arming Israel, pissing off the brown Americas, Venezuela and others (Quetzalcoatl), et al.

This has no good ending, short of Hercules reappearing (the Savior in the Hydra Myth). And even that is covered in Revelations and attributed to Jesus Christ coming down from Heaven to create peace (after Armageddon) and sit on the throne of Jewish Mount of Jerusalem.

Myths are powerful elements of a cultural, national, religious psyche. Most are symbology from constellations ... which name our "Star Power". Did they happen? No one knows for sure. But the elements/behaviors can be seen every day. Zeus' group is especially interesting. I digress.
