The Canaanite claim, climate criminals, rule by the rich and more.
Today’s link set contains two Palestine / Israel history videos, a look at the latest set of climate criminals, and several pieces on our constant theme, life under Rule by the Rich.
For free subscribers, here’s a taste of what our musical treats are like.

First, two video views of the history of Palestine / Israel.
• How did Israel become a country? (YouTube)
The first starts the story in the late 1800s.
• History of Israel-Palestine Conflict (YouTube)
The second starts the story much earlier.
It matters, doesn’t it, where the story starts, unless you’re the Canaanites, whom Abraham displaced. No one, it seems, supports the Canaanite claim.
