It is truely amazing the creations that Israel's approximately 5 ior 6 million Jewiosh citizens have created for the world. Are the Jews the worlds most constructive and functional people ? Check out the photo and videos in this article. Perhaps one day we all will be able to fly one of these flying cars.

WATCH: ISRAEL CREATES A REMOTE CONTROLLED FLYING CAR CALLED THE CORMORANT

n an amazing new revolutionary technological advancement, Israel has finally achieved what others have only set out to do and created the world’s first remote-controlled flying car.

In a video posted to youtube by The Israel Project, the team demonstrates the flying car called the Cormorant that looks like something you would see in a sci-fi movie or the old tv show The Jetsons.

After, 15 years of development and more than 200 flights Urban Aeronautics, based in central Israel, hopes to bring the Cormorant into the public market by 2020. Formerly known as Air Mule, the drone is about the size of a family car and can be operated remotely.

“While pattern flights are routine for conventional fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft, it is a significant milestone in the evolution of an entirely new family of Urban’s proprietary technology aircraft known as Fancraft.” Urban Aeronautics said Jewish Business News reported.

“Unlike other (manned and unmanned) aircraft, the Cormorant’s autopilot relies primarily on inertial and ground reference, which is more complex than flying through open, unobstructed airspace,” Urban Aeronautics added.

“this flight paves the way forward for the immediate evolution of Cormorant from prototype to near-term production and ultimately commercialization of this groundbreaking technology – for broad applications and markets. This is the most exciting time in the Company’s history and we look forward to accelerating our progress now that the technology is fully proven,” Rafi Yoeli said.

The car weighs a total of 1.5 tons, can travel up to 115 miles per hour and carry up to a maximum of 1,100 pounds.

It’s designed to evacuate casualties from hostile environments and help emergency responders quickly deliver aid to the injur

“Just imagine a dirty bomb in a city and chemical substance of something else and this vehicle can come in robotically, remotely piloted, come into a street and decontaminate an area,” Urban Aeronautics founder and CEO Rafi Yoeli told Reuters.

Tal Inbar, head of the UAV research center at Israel’s Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies, indicated that the Cormorant “could revolutionize several aspects of warfare, including medical evacuation of soldiers on the battlefield.”

The car has yet to meet all of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration standards but its founder Yoeli has registered 39 patents to create the vehicle.

Its total price is estimated to be at least $14 million.

It can be remotely piloted or set to fly autonomously Times Of Israel reported.

I never saw any obese people in Israel. That Mediteranean I believe is quite healthy.

One of Israel's Seven Species Scientifically Found to Help Remedy Many Illnesses

Bible believers know that studying the word of God is good for you. What might come as a surprise is that one particular food discussed in the Bible contains a wide array of health benefits.

This is becoming increasingly clear as scientists discover more and more positive health benefits from consuming extra-virgin olive oil.

"Olive oil is the only vegetable oil that can be taken as it is, just by cold pressing the pure oil out of the olive without heavy processing, heat or chemicals," noted Rabbi Shmuel Veffer to PNW.

"This is one of the many miracles we glean from the olive, one of Israel's seven holy species discussed in the Bible."

Rabbi Veffer, along with Nili Abrahams, are co-founders of Galilee Green, an Israeli company which produces premium boutique olive oil for worldwide distribution.

Galilee Green is well aware of the unique health benefits of extra-virgin olive oil, even having a "Wellness" section highlighting this important information on their website.

"The Bible is replete with references to the importance of olive oil," continued Rabbi Veffer. "Also, in ancient Egypt olive oil was so valuable that it was used in the payment of wages.

"A land of wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of olive-oil and date honey." (Deuteronomy 8:8)

To date, extra virgin olive oil has been scientifically found to aid in the prevention of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, various cancers, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and more.

Studies of the benefits of olive oil have come out of some of the most respected scientific research in the world.

Modern-day interest in the health benefits of olive oil increased when it was discovered in the 1940s and 1950s that those following the Mediterranean diet decrease their risk of early death from cardiovascular disease by 9 percent.

A followup 2014 study credited an elevated consumption of olive oil with reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and stroke.

The Mediterranean diet includes a proportionally high consumption of extra-virgin olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, vegetables, fish, moderate amounts of dairy mostly coming from cheese and yogurt, moderate consumption of wine and small amounts of meat.

"It may be counter intuitive to think that adding olive oil to your diet is good for your heart, but that is what science has found," said Rabbi Veffer.

"It is proven to be more effective for cardiovascular health than a low-fat diet and also helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure."

Olive oil, considered a "good fat", is also linked to decreasing the risk of osteoporosis. A study from the Ain Shams University in Egypt found that the monounsaturated fat in olive oil helps the body break down calcium so that it can be properly absorbed into bones.

Additionally, some studies have found a decreased risk of type-2 diabetes in those who consume extra-virgin olive oil. Others credit olive oil for protecting the body against breast cancer.

In addition, there appears to be a lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease and slower cognitive decline as well as a lessening of other neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease estimated by as much as 13 percent.

Consuming olive oil is also good for mental health. According to Spanish researchers from the University of Navarra, a diet rich in olive oil can help prevent mental illness and a person is 30 percent less likely to suffer from depression when following the Mediterranean diet.

The most nutritious olive oil to consume is cold-pressed, unfiltered extra virgin, which comes from the first olive pressing.

This retains most of the health benefits. The polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil act as antioxidants in the body. This helps prevent blood clots and works as an anti-inflammatory agent alleviating inflammation of the joints.

"Galilee Green olive oil is unfiltered and cold pressed the same day that the olives are picked, which helps guarantee you are getting the best extra-virgin olive oil," told Rabbi Veffer to PNW. "This freshness retains the highest nutrient value along with outstanding flavor.

We pray that those who use our Galilee Green olive oil are blessed with abundant health along with the special blessings that produce from the Holy Land provides."

The Jews of Israel and elsewhere are not forcing Judaism on the Druze, Christians athiests or muslims. If the muslims ever manage to take over Israel shariah law will imposed on everybody and it will be a third world nation almost immediately and everybody will want to leave.

I think that it is a good thing that Israel is ignoring the muslim 50% of arabs who want their genocide, Jerusalem is Israeli. Muslims have plenty of their own countries that they are doing a very good job of making horrible places for even themselves.

Emboldened by Trump, Israel pushes on with East Jerusalem settlement plans
Rights groups condemn proposals for 1,800 housing units in the heart of a Palestinian neighbourhood

Israel is pushing forward with controversial plans to build 1,800 new settlement housing units in occupied East Jerusalem in the largest proposed surge in construction in recent years.

The plans are expected to be considered by the Jerusalem district planning committee this month. If approved, they would mark an end to the relative slowdown in Israeli construction in the eastern parts of the city.

Israel’s rightwing government appears to have been emboldened by the pro-Israel stance of the Trump administration, which has been far more muted in its criticism of settlements than its predecessor.

When the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Donald Trump in Washington earlier this year, the US president issued a weakly-worded request that Netanyahu limit settlement activity.

The disclosure of the East Jerusalem plans by the Peace Now group came as Netanyahu approved proposals to allow Israeli MPs to once again visit the flashpoint Temple Mount-Haram al-Sharif complex on a five-day trial, starting this month.

Visits by MPs to the site – considered the holiest in Judaism and the third-holiest in Islam – were banned in 2015 after a wave of Palestinian violence following claims that Israel was attempting to take control of the compound.

The two issues seem likely to raise tensions once again in Jerusalem, over which Israel has claimed sovereignty since it seized the Old City and eastern neighbourhoods in 1967. Israel’s claim is not recognised by much of the international community. Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state.

The construction plans include proposals for Jewish buildings, such as an eight-storey yeshiva, in Sheikh Jarrah, which Palestinians regard as being at the very heart of East Jerusalem.

According to Peace Now, the plans would also involve demolishing the homes of five Palestinian families, who have had long-term tenancy rights.

Israeli settlements are considered illegal under international law as they are built on occupied territory.

Last month, Israel began work on the first new settlement in the West Bank in 25 years to house rightwing extremist settlers expelled from the illegal out-post of Amona in February.

According to official Israeli statistics the period between April 2016 and March 2017 saw a 70.4% increase in settlement housing construction in the occupied West Bank.

The plans for new settlement housing in Sheikh Jarrah are likely to be the most contentious following an outcry seven years ago – which prompted mass protests by activists –when Palestinians were evicted in similar moves.

The neighbourhood is regarded as heavy with symbolism for both sides. For Israel, it was home to a small Jewish community until 1948 when East Jerusalem came under Jordanian rule after the war that saw Israel’s birth.

Then in the 1950s several dozen Palestinian refugee families from west Jerusalem – displaced by the same war – were settled there.

In recent years, however, a number of these Palestinian families have been evicted as a result of Israeli court rulings to recognise pre-1948 Jewish ownership claims under laws that refuse to recognise claims made by Palestinians forced to leave west Jerusalem in similar circumstances.

Peace Now and other groups condemned the plans, accusing the Israeli government of trying to destroy the two-state solution.

“The government is brutally attempting to destroy the possibility of the two-state solution, and this time it is by establishing a new settlement at the heart of a Palestinian neighbourhood in East Jerusalem and promoting nearly 1,800 housing units beyond the Green Line,” they said in a statement.

“The eviction of five Palestinian families, which are protected tenants, in order to establish a new settlement in Sheikh Jarrah shows that nothing will get in the way of settler groups and a pro-settler government from preventing a future compromise in Jerusalem.”

Like I keep saying, they should take all the land, and push, or buy the remaining out to leave.
The international community will curse them, but in the long run it's less death, and there would be some peace. The left has created that mess so let them see their mess destroyed.

The Jews have done an amazing job of turning a barren place into a paradise. Are the jews of Israel proof that if the average morality is high enough, the avereage work ethic is good enough, the average ambition is strong enough and thecaring about quality is high enough even the most inhospitable places would be turned into a first world nation and would even be able to support a percentage of lazy sleazebags.

Ezekiel 36:8 Prophecy Is Coming True In The Galilee!


One of the benefits of living in modern Israel is physically experiencing Biblical prophecy coming to life.

Two families who moved to Israel's Upper Galilee town of Yavne'el from Canada daily witness Jacob's blessing to his son Naftali, one of the twelve Israelite tribes, coming to fruition right in their own backyards.

"Yavne'el is in the portion of the Land of Israel which Jacob blessed to be fertile and for the fruit to ripen quickly," explained Rabbi Shmuel Veffer, owner of Galilee Green, a leading producer and exporter of high quality extra virgin olive oil from Israel.

"When we and our business partners Nili and Arnie Abrahams experienced the blossoming of the region around us, we realized that we were watching the prophecy of Ezekiel 36:8 comes to life, 'But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come.'"

The Veffer and Abrahams families recognized the unique blessing of the region when, several years ago, they joined the local community's olive harvest.

They picked the lush olives and immediately pressed them into an amazingly high quality oil which far surpassed anything they had ever tasted.

This lead to their realization that people all over the world would benefit from God's blessing of the land and thus, Galilee Green was born.


A quick tour of the greater Yavne'el region reveals many archaeological digs with ancient olive presses. In Biblical times, olives were grown for oil, not for eating whole.

The oil was used both for food and in lamps for illumination.

Today, olive oil is commonly known to be a healthful addition to everyone's diet. Additionally, Jewish people often use olive oil with floating wicks as lights to welcome in the Sabbath.

"Galilee Green fulfills many purposes. Besides sharing the blessing of the land and delicious extra virgin olive oil from Israel with the world, we also help support immigrants living locally who are struggling to make a living," said Rabbi Veffer.

"Purchasing Galilee Green extra virgin olive oil is also a way for people all over the world to fight the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which unfairly targets Israeli products."

The Bible teaches that there is a unique relationship between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.

According to prophecy, the Holy Land will remain barren until the Jews return to it.

Then, the land will flourish and give forth abundant fruit. Indeed, this is what is happening today.

"We are blessed to live in the Land of Israel, produce a Biblical product and share these blessings with the world," smiled Rabbi Veffer.

"We feel that we are fulfilling Biblical prophecy and Genesis 12:3, 'I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.'"

More Embassy Relocations on Horizon? Israel 'in Contact With 10 Countries'

Trump Recognizes Jerusalem as Israeli Capital: Consequences (85)
The comment by Israel’s deputy foreign minister came after Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales announced the relocation of his country’s embassy to Jerusalem. Earlier, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution rejecting the US decision on the status of Jerusalem.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is in touch with "at least 10 countries" from different parts of the world that are mulling over moving their embassies to Jerusalem, following US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize the city as the Israeli capital, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said.

"We are in contact with at least ten countries, some of them in Europe" to discuss the possible move, Hotovely told Reshet Bet radio on Monday, refusing, however, to name those countries.

Hotovely also suggested that Trump’s decision on the status of Jerusalem would "trigger a wave" of similar moves. "So far we have only seen the beginning," she said.

Her comments come in the wake of Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales’ decision to move his country’s embassy to Jerusalem. On Sunday, he wrote in a Facebook post that he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and given instructions to the foreign minister to "initiate the process to make it possible." In response, Netanyahu praised the move, saying, "God bless you, my friend."

On December 21, the UN General Assembly approved a resolution that rejects Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel after 128 member states voted in favor of the move, however, nine countries voted against the resolution and 35 countries abstained. The resolution condemns both US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as Washington's decision to move its embassy to the city.

Guatemala was one of two Central American countries, alongside neighboring Honduras, to vote against the resolution. Channel 10 reported that Honduras is likely to be next to follow the move by Guatemala. According to i24news, other speculations included the Philippines, Romania and South Sudan.

On December 6, Trump announced his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and instructed the US State Department to move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The decision has resulted in worldwide condemnation.

On December 21, Netanyahu said that Israel was negotiating with "several countries" the transfer of their embassies to Jerusalem, but did not name the countries.

Maybe more will dump the UN next, we should already opted out of it since it's mostly a hate US, and Whites group now.

I have read about that, and many other findings in the area. They have found pits of bore tusk, and their remains as well from a more fertile time.
from a collage course on the subject it said the likelihood of the taboo against pork came around when dryer less fertile times came around.
Pigs, and bore are very damaging to crops, and land so they likely fell out of favor to have around.
How can people loose favor in tasty bacon :scratch:

I watched a documentary some years ago that showed some glass stones that were evidence of the heat from a meteor breaking up above that area and the flash of fire that would have incinerated that area. The timing I believe is proof of Gods hand in this.

HAVE SODOM AND GOMORRAH BEEN FOUND? Archaeologist calls discovery near Dead Sea a ‘no-brainer’

Not likely, says an archaeologist who believes, following 12 years of sifting sand near the Dead Sea in Jordan, that he has found the ruins of the largest twin cities in the area, one that fits all the criteria of the Bible account.

Steven Collins, a professor of biblical studies and apologetics at Trinity Southwest University, says a “monstrous” site in Tall el-Hammam in the southern Jordan Valley, which lies eight miles northeast of the Dead Sea, perfectly matches the biblical descriptions of the “city of sin,” destroyed in a day by fire and brimstone.

Collins began exploring the rubble in 2005 and eventually concluded that it is indeed the site inhabited by Lot who was saved by Abraham from judgment of the dominant city-state of the era.

“When we explored the area, the choice of Tall el-Hammam as the site of Sodom was virtually a no-brainer since it was at least five to 10 times larger than all the other Bronze Age sites in the entire region.”

The site is a large mound, or tel, that he believes represents the ruins of the two cities. The team of researchers has since found high and thick defensive walls, gates, towers, plazas and ramparts as well as a palace in the upper city.

As one would expect, life in the city appears to have come to a sudden halt near the end of the Middle Bronze Age period before being abandoned for 700 years.

“Tall el-Hammam seemed to match every Sodom criterion demanded by the text,” said Collins.

Based on the excavated site, despite the heavily fortified defensive capabilities, the city seems to have come to a sudden, inexplicable end – just as the Genesis account in the Bible says.

Would you like to visit this new archeological discovery of Sodom and Gomorrah as part of a 10-day Israel tour this November with Joseph and Elizabeth Farah? That’s what they have in store this fall. Check out the full itinerary and details now.

For millennia, the ancient cities have been used as metaphors for vice and homosexuality.

Collins said the city was likely abandoned after an earthquake, while other experts suggested an asteroid may have been to blame.

In 2008, mysterious circular clay tablets were identified as a witness’ account of an asteroid that destroyed the cities. Two rocket scientists – Alan Bond and Mark Hempsell, who spent eight years trying to solve the mystery – believe that the tablet’s symbols give a detailed account of how a mile-long asteroid hit the region, causing thousands of deaths and devastating an area of more than 386,000 square miles. The impact, equivalent to more than 1,000 tons of TNT exploding, would have created one of the world’s biggest-ever landslides.

The clay tablet, called the Planisphere, was discovered by the Victorian archaeologist Henry Layard in the remains of the library of the Royal Palace at Nineveh.

The duo used computers to recreate the night sky thousands of years ago and pinpointed the sighting described on the tablet by a Sumerian astrologer, pinpointing the likely date to before dawn June 29 in the year 3,123 B.C.

What does the Bible say about Sodom and Gomorrah? There are references in Genesis and the New Testament as well.

Genesis 19 is a detailed account of two angels who visited the city in an effort to save Lot and his family and were confronted by a gang threatening to sexually assault them. The angels had been dispatched by God at the urging of Abraham, Lot’s uncle.

The angels gathered Lot’s family and took them out of the city, saying: “For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”

The angels cautioned Lot’s family not to look back once they had been safely removed from the cities.

“Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,” it says in Genesis 19:24-26. “25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”

Genesis 13:13 explains that the people of Sodom “were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.”

The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos and Zephaniah all refer to the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Check out the four minute video and get some new insights and see a bit of the ancient city where the ancient Israelites saw.

A BLOW TO ISLAM: ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER LOST PORTIONS OF WESTERN WALL TUNNELS, PROVING YET AGAIN THE TEMPLE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE STOOD IN JERUSALEM

Eight stone courses of the Western Wall that had been buried under an 8-meter layer of earth were recently uncovered in excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the Western Wall Tunnels in Jerusalem. These stone courses, completely preserved, are built of massive stones and are outstanding in the quality of their construction.

Furthermore, after the removal of this layer of soil, the archaeologists were surprised to discover that it covered the remnants of an extraordinary theater-like structure from the Roman period confirming historical writings that describe a theater near the Temple Mount. These exciting findings will be presented to the public during a conference titled New Studies in the Archaeology of Jerusalem and its Environs, which will take place at the Hebrew University. This year’s conference will mark 50 years of archaeology since the unification of the city.

At a press conference this morning (Monday) beneath Wilson’s Arch in the Western Wall Tunnels, the stone courses and the amazing remnants of the theater were presented. Apparently, a great deal was invested in the construction of the theater which contained approximately 200 seats. The press conference was conducted with the participation of the Western Wall rabbi, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, Israel Antiquities Authority director, Israel Hasson, Western Wall Heritage Foundation director, Mr. Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, Israel Antiquities Authority district archaeologist Dr. Yuval Baruch, and the excavation directors.

From the very beginning of archaeological research in Jerusalem over 150 years ago, scholars have been seeking the public buildings mentioned in the historical sources. Particularly prominent among them, theaters or theater-like structures are mentioned. These descriptions are found in written sources from the Second Temple period (such as Josephus Flavius), and in sources from the period following the destruction of the Second Temple, when Jerusalem became the Roman colony of Aelia Capitolina. Many theories were advanced as to the location of these complexes, but they were without archaeological foundation. That is, until this latest discovery.

Wilson’s Arch is in fact the only intact, visible structure remaining from the Temple Mount compound of the Second Temple period. The arch, built of enormous stones, is the last of a series of such arches that once constituted a gigantic bridge leading to the Temple Mount from the west.

The arch stands high above the foundations of the Western Wall, and it served, among other purposes, as a passageway for people entering the Temple Mount compound and the Temple. A huge aqueduct also passed over the arch.

According to site excavators Dr. Joe Uziel, Tehillah Lieberman and Dr. Avi Solomon: “From a research perspective, this is a sensational find. The discovery was a real surprise. When we started excavating, our goal was to date Wilson’s Arch. We did not imagine that a window would open for us onto the mystery of Jerusalem’s lost theater. Like much of archaeological research, the expectation is that a certain thing will be found, but at the end of the process other findings, surprising and thought-provoking, are unearthed. There is no doubt that the exposure of the courses of the Western Wall and the components of Wilson’s Arch are thrilling discoveries that contribute to our understanding of Jerusalem. But the discovery of the theater-like structure is the real drama.”

The excavators note: “This is a relatively small structure compared to known Roman theaters (such as at Caesarea, Bet She’an and Bet Guvrin). This fact, in addition to its location under a roofed space – in this case under Wilson’s Arch – leads us to suggest that this is a theater-like structure of the type known in the Roman world as an odeon. In most cases, such structures were used for acoustic performances. Alternatively, this may have been a structure known as a bouleuterion – the building where the city council met, in this case the council of the roman colony of Aelia Capitolina – Roman Jerusalem.”

Really cool, but even with historical, and Biblical proof, it dosn't matter to Liberals that hate Jews, and Muslims who don't care about the truth.
I wanted to go help excavate in Israel at one time in my life, Egypt also.

You could volunteer. Israel is doing an absolutely top notch job of restoring and archeology in Israel . If the muslimes go Israel they would only destroy non muslim sites as that is all they are capable of doing. Being a quality archeologist takes a lot of brins and studying both of whisch few muslims are capable of or willing to do.

I'm not able now, and don't have the money to go so that is just life you know. I have always found archeology interesting, and try to keep an eye out on new old stuff found. :)
