The Monkey Experiment – Arab world
Unfortunately, this is where we are today in our Arab world. None of the current Arab regimes have ever been bombed or defeated by Israel. Nevertheless, no regime dares to defy the Zionist state. In fact, they cooperate together to prevent whichever regime decides to do it. And that it not only shameful, but greatly saddening.. I hope our Monkeys will awaken one day, actually I’m almost certain they will and I wish to witness that soon,very soon..

Gorgeous Pictures Of The Holy Land From 120 Years Ago
Courtesy of the Library of Congress these pictures takes us to the Holy Land between 1890 and 1900.
The Holy Land of that era, which includes modern Lebanon, Palestine and other territories, was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. It is a pastoral land that looks like it had changed little since the Biblical era.
These images are photolithographs, which are made from adding color to black-and-white photographic negatives.
