I hate having no work (they suggested surgeon and building cleaner, I don´t wanna choose either!)
But this gives me time to visit all of you, and my. In school I learned but about the Austrian lille, tiny, evil man (did he even have a real penis? Not joking. We get "lectures" on TV every Sunday and if you´re not quick enough to change the channel you hear this stuff).
Anyhows. So many of you teach me history and I really sometimes wonder why teachers at school failed on this. Takes but 5 minutes...
Anne, though it wasn´t her point, taught me about the Pentagram.
It´s probably in your news, too, the bombings and fights again between Israel and Palestine.
People here in Germany, gathering, close, side by side, no masks, screaming to kill Jews, it´s such a big shame.
I saw Anne´s work and my first thought was "WHAT?! The `Jew´s star`?!"
But then saw it has but five, not six pieces.
I wiki-ed it and did you know the pentagram does have a meaning in Judaism even? I did not.
"The pentagram has been used in Judaism since at least 300BCE when it first was used as the stamp of Jerusalem. It is used to represent justice, mercy, and wisdom."
I grew up with the hate between Israel and Palestine and I fail to understand why we can´t be but people, by golly.
Yes, two posts in one day again, but history is important and I thank you all for teaching me.
Henry 🦁...
He feels too ashamed to show up.
After all it was a Braunschweig idiot who gave the nasty little Austrian guy also German citizenship, so he could start WW II.
Why can´t we just live in peace.
Sorry, not your point, Anne, but... justice, mercy, and wisdom are a good thing and now I know of this wonderful meaning and agree with my late Mum on this ever-ongoing subject even more...

oh dear, it's amost like a repeat of the holocaust. Being of Jewish Ancestry it saddens me that we all can't live in peace with each other.
Yes, it´s so darn hard to see, how dumb. And in Germany. I feel ashamed...
When watching the movie "Life is beautiful" in Broome, Western-Australia (it was in Italian, English subtitles only) we were the only ones to laugh bitterly about the German... and ashamed I understood, I shrank in my seat as heads turned...
...the fighting in the Middle East seems to NEVER end!!!
So sad.
Tom, sad, all my life, and longer even.

R´s Rue I fail to understand it...
Isn't there a passage in the Bible that Israel will never have a real home? I think both Hamas and the President of Israel are the real "winners" and the Palestinians are the real losers.
I think they should just stop this stupid war.
As anyone, everywhere, what is it good for, what´s the sense.
Our world is really hurting right now. It strikes me as another form of genocide, what is happening in Israel. Can't they both have their own homelands? It is beyond me.
We are bent upon destroying mankind.
Jeanie, yes, beyond understanding...

magigeye, some will never learn...
This war will never end.
I´ll never understand the reason...
Israel seems to love war against the Palestinians. There are protests in Ireland against Israel coming up this week. Ireland supports the Palestinians.
I think both sides are dumb to fight like this forever. Any war is dumb.
I love blogging because I do learn so much. And also connecting with people all over the world. Let's face it, school can only teach you so much because (at least here) there are required topics. The war going on in the Middle East is terrible. The photos are so graphic. It is sad people have to fight like that. I'll end with something lighter-hope you are having a happy Monday.
Erika, you´re so right in all. And a lighter ending is always good - doing my training (sneaking in breaks).
It is dismaying.
And stupid. Sad.
All these wars are just crazy! And worse to it is all the people locked in between them but behind them are not the countries themselves but larger and more super forces that are not being shown. It's just so hard to watch the news, some forces re really just plain evil - greed and merciless.
Sending you hugs dearest big sis!!! I missed visiting here!
I don't even know what the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting about. Land? Religion? "I'm right, you're wrong!"?
Who is egging them on? Would "they" send their own children to bomb or be bombed?
Live in PEACE people! Please.
Someone once said "live in peace or die in pieces" a very long time ago, but it seems no one has listened.
Dearest Stevenson, the war goes on since longer than either of us is here.
I don´t see it ever ending, sad as it is, dumb as it is. I feel sorry for the people who just want to live in peace there. Lille Bro, we´ll never understand, and maybe that is even good. Hugs to you.

River, I think they themselves have forgotten what they fight about.
A stupid piece of land, by golly. Is that but a synonym? Might? Hate? Dumbness?
It's a sad and bad story
And I'm not optimistic
It's a sad world we live in Iris, if we look back it always has been and probably always will be as long as power hungry men are in positions of power. Well that was a bit doom and gloom, sorry 😉
No, Grace, you are right. Wonder how the world would be like if those men had to fight face to face themselves (or if there were more women, but, sorry, not like Merkel).
