I put the waffler in his place Saturday I asked him to come down the Garden path with me but he just dug a hole and buried his head.
I doubt it.
The attention span of myself and most on this forum aren't up to it.
I prefer videos, lots of pictures and flashing lights.

The problem is that no one knows what anti semitism is.
Jeremy Corbyn has been called an anti semite and Adolf Hitler has been called an anti semite, so, is Corbyn as evil as Hitler or was Hitler as evil as Corbyn.

Some go go girls may gloss it over but wouldn't make that long boring read interesting .
We would be looking at the girls and their bright lights.
Vivian Silver was a Canadian-Israeli humanitarian and peace activist, who was murdered by Hamas gunmen at her home on Be’eri kibbutz, just a few kilometres from the Israel-Gaza border, on 7 October... Visiting her burnt-out home a few weeks later, Yonatan told Canadian television that he’d managed to salvage a few of her personal belongings, but “everything was ashes there”, as the killers had torched the 74-year-old’s home.
Vivian was born and raised in Winnipeg. She moved to Israel in 1973, wanting to be part of a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which was violently reignited the year she arrived in the Middle East by the Yom Kippur war. Her subsequent life was devoted to reconciliation. When she died, she’d been the longtime director of the Arab-Jewish Center for Empowerment, Equality, and Cooperation, an initiative she co-founded that organised projects linking communities in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. After the last major war between Israel and Hamas in 2014, she helped found a movement called Women Wage Peace, promoting initiatives joining together women from all communities, putting them front and centre of the peace debate.
Vivian’s was a noble life, though I’m sure she never saw herself as “noble”, despite living so much of the time in the service of others. She was undoubtedly a human being possessed of a deep compassion, who also understood a fundamental fact: that whether Israeli or Palestinian, black or white, rich or poor, Muslim, Christian or Jew, we are all human beings; that, to paraphrase Charles Dickens, we are “fellow passengers to the grave”, and not different “races of creatures bound on other journeys”. Many of those who died at Be’eri kibbutz were fellow peace activists, including Hayim Katsman, who was 32 and worked with Palestinians in the southern West Bank.
Israel and Hamas are still engaged in their bitter war and there’s little to suggest its conclusion will finally bring peace to this blighted corner of the world. But there is hope, because of people like Vivian’s son Yonatan and so many others like him.
They’re all activists who believe that the conflicts involving Israel and Palestine... can be resolved if people look beyond their own differences.
Yonatan says the wars and bad blood continue not because his mother’s work was stupid or naive and futile, with both sides locked in a natural, never-ending enmity, but because her efforts were not pushed and championed by more people across the divide.
Yonatan’s experience has forced me to question what my own responses might have been in the same situation. Despite everything he’s gone through, he argues his mother had the right ideas, but not enough people listened. My hope for 2024 is that more people at least try to listen, and that her life and work wasn’t in vain.

“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
Why I am now a Christian
Since the thread is about the way the different 'religions of the book' interpret the word 'witness', it's entirely fitting you should remind us of one thing the Tanakh; the Qur'an, and the Bible all agree upon in the manner of bearing false witness.

Absolutely
Stop doing it, in that case.
