Purple Wool From Kings David and Shlomo Era Found by Archaeologists

"King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon. He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem,"  Shir Hashirim (9-10).

Now, for the first time in Israel or the entire southern Levant, rare evidence has surfaced of cloth dyed royal purple dating back to the time of kings David and Solomon.

Researchers from Israel Antiquities Authority, Tel Aviv University, and Bar-Ilan University spent years studying colored woven fibers excavated at Timna in the Negev Desert, the site of King Solomon's famed copper mines. Carbon-14 dating determined that they date from 1,000 BCE, the period in which David and Solomon reigned in Jerusalem. They published their findings on Thursday in the journal PLOS ONE.

The purple color, known as "argaman" in Hebrew and extracted from a type of Mediterranean sea snail at a distance of some 300 km (186 miles) from the Timna Valley in the southern Negev Desert, is mentioned in biblical sources a number of times. However, this is the first time that a Bronze Age woven fiber dyed royal purple has been found in Israel or anywhere else in the region.

The Tragedy for Charedim from COVID has Created a Crisis for Judaism Itself

The mayor of Antwerp, the Belgian city that is home to about 15,000 haredi Jews, has warned that their failure to comply with coronavirus measures threatens to trigger a wave of anti-Semitism.

The Belzer Chassidic sect shut their synagogue in the city after the police twice found it was violating emergency measures forbidding group prayer. COVID-19 infections in two heavily Jewish neighborhoods of Antwerp are reported to be four times higher than in the rest of the city.

This is a pattern being repeated in many countries: haredim dying from the virus in hugely disproportionate numbers, but with their communities’ significant infractions of the COVID regulations provoking widespread criticism and fury.

Supporters say they are being scapegoated. Many of these communities have been observing the restrictions; a number of prominent rabbis have ordered the closure of yeshivahs and schools; and others have reversed their previous rulings to keep them open when they have become aware of the risks.

Certainly, there’s a tendency to lump all the haredim together and unfairly blame them all. But the behavior of many—in keeping open their educational institutions against government instructions, ignoring social distancing at weddings and other large gatherings, and refusing to wear face masks—is deeply troubling and is having tragic consequences.

In London’s Stamford Hill, the police have launched an investigation to find out who was responsible for arranging a 150-strong wedding that took place on the premises of a haredi girls’ school. In a particularly distressing irony, the school’s former principal, Rabbi Avrohom Pinter, himself died of COVID after trudging in desperation from house to house to beg the area’s haredim to stop flouting the restrictions.

Cuomo’s appalling nursing-home defense ..."Who Cares ... The're Dead

 

“It’s not about pointing fingers or blame. This became a political football,” Gov. Cuomo said Friday in response to questions about Attorney General Tish James’ finding that the state vastly underreported COVID-19 deaths of nursing-home residents. “Who cares,” he asked, if they died in a home or a hospital? “They died.”

What a callous reaction to the deaths of thousands of senior citizens, which James found may have occurred because of Cuomo’s March 25 mandate forcing homes to take in COVID-positive patients.

And if it doesn’t matter where they died, why did Cuomo and his Health Department work so hard to obscure the number, stonewalling lawmakers’ demands and Freedom of Information filings for months?

They certainly knew what it was, since Health Commissioner Howard Zucker finally released it the evening James’ report dropped: He said 12,743 nursing-home residents died or were presumed to have died from COVID-19 as of Jan. 19 — validating James’ estimate of 13,000.

But earlier in the day, the DOH Web site had that figure at 8,740. Can anyone truly trust Zucker’s new numbers, or is there some other deception?

Cuomo’s insane edict — which he rescinded in May — sent virus-positive patients into the state’s most vulnerable population, as Cuomo himself noted in saying the virus would spread in nursing homes like “fire through dry grass.” That’s why families, and so many others, care how many nursing-home residents died.

As for the gov’s supposed aversion to pointing fingers, he did it himself in the same press conference: “If you think there was a mistake, then go talk to the federal government,” he said, again pretending the feds made him issue that March order. “Where this starts is frankly a political attack from the prior federal administration” and its Health and Human Services spokesman, Michael Caputo.

Even now that his coverup has been uncovered, Cuomo still can’t apologize. He claimed Friday that everyone in his administration did everything they could to prevent deaths. But what he said earlier in the week was closer to the mark. “Incompetent government kills people,” he declared in an interview. “More people died than needed to die in COVID. That’s the truth.”

It certainly is.

PETA Latest Crazy and Absurd Complaint ... "People Should Stop Using "Pig" "chicken" or "rat" as insults for humans"

Words can create a more inclusive world, or perpetuate oppression.

Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them.

 This is animal advocate abuse.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demanded this week that people stop using “speciesist” terms such as “chicken,” “pig” or “rat” as insults for humans — and promptly got ripped as dodos for the stunt.

The PETA tweet was so widely mocked online that it soon boasted an embarrassing ratio of almost 11,000 comments to just over 3,000 likes as of Thursday morning.

“Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them,” the animal-rights advocacy group said in its earnest call to action. “Stand up for justice by rejecting supremacist language.”

New York Attorney General Said that Cuomo Undercounted COVID-19 deaths of nursing home residents by as much as 50%

The truth will out. What ­media reports and grieving family members have been telling us for months has now been confirmed by a fellow Democratic politician: The Cuomo ­administration sent thousands of infected elderly people to their deaths in nursing homes. These may in turn have infected others, who also died.

“Government guidance requiring the admission of COVID-19 patients into nursing homes,” concludes a new report by state Attorney General Letitia James, “may have put residents at increased risk of harm in some facilities and may have obscured the data available to assess that risk.”

Her report also accuses the Cuomo-ites of releasing conveniently erroneous statistics ­regarding virus-related deaths in nursing homes. Its “publicized data vastly undercounted these deaths,” it says.

Using a sample of a few dozen nursing homes that revealed ­discrepancies between what those homes told investigators and what the state Department of Health told the rest of us, the AG’s office estimates the official death toll has been off by 55.4 percent.

Fifty. Five. Point. Four. Percent.
