Religious Jews oppose State of Israel (video)

"We cry for the Palestinians" | Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss

(Let the Quran Speak) Oct. 13, 2023: Moral high ground? Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss is an activist and spokesperson for Neturei Karta, which vocally opposes Zionism (settler colonialism in the name of religion) and the state of Israel.

Warmongers give Jews a bad name.

Whether or not Palestinian people were affected or even if the land were uninhabited (which it so clearly was not), Neturei Karta says the Jewish people did NOT have a right to determine that.

The establishment of a State of Israel prior to the coming of the Messiah (Jewish savior figure or leader) is sinful and an act of rebellion against God.

Reve Weiss says Jews yearn to return to the "Holy Land" [in Bihar, India? No, the Abrahamic one in Africa]. So they pray to God to bring about that end day.

But in the meantime, they are tasked with patiently waiting, serving God, being loyal citizens in whatever country they are residing, and upholding the Torah (Jewish Bible akin to the Old Testament) in every land in which they live.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Safiyyah Ally at Reviving the Islamic  Spirit Convention in Toronto in December.

The Buddha Phone

wired.com

Because weird phone customization can no longer be kept within the pithy confines of the screen, we give you the Nokia Buddha Phone.

But don’t be fooled. It is most assuredly not gold covering the entire phone. According to the Buddha Phone’s site, its shell is made out of stainless steel plated with 24 karat gold plating. But the corner edge looks just like plastic painted over.

The Buddha has small details that are somewhat attractive, like the use of Jade for the main video button, the shape of the keys, and the apparently accurate Buddhist symbols. The tech stuff is secondary with this model, though the site alludes to a touchscreen and a music player that comes with several recordings of Buddhist scriptures embedded.

I wonder what the Buddha would think about this phone. He’d probably think it a bit gaudy. But that's part of life, the part where it is said "the noble truth that is suffering."
