Summary

A young man says goodbye to his father and goes off to war. Why is this war different from every other ethnic conflict? Why can this one not be resolved by dividing the territory down the middle? Your rabbi is still in Israel. Why is the notorious Two State Solution, beloved by silly politicians, never going to be? Does Islam hate Christianity more than Christians love it? How many times has Islam tried to conquer Europe and turn it into part of the Moslem world? Why did Gazans in 2005 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did the Nazis in 1938 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did rioters, thugs and looters (Sorry, I meant to say “protestors”) in 2020 destroy millions of panes of glass in American cities? The deeper and inescapable truth about this Clash of Destiny https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/clash-of-destiny-instant-download/   Is it true that violence never solves anything? Where did civilization come from?  Finally, understand the distinction between Civilization and Barbarism in terms of the same 5Fs that are transforming your life https://a.co/d/fZuMRoK  Are there barbarians who dress in a suit and tie and teach other barbarians about gender studies in colonial hell holes? Do you really have to choose between civilization and barbarism or is there a third choice? What will the world look like for your grandchildren?    Learn more about your ad choices.
