MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Ted Belman: The now-deposed dictators didn’t plan to conquer the West. The Islamists do. Russia is now in charge and running the show in Syria. The US has not figured out who the enemy is nor how to deal with the threats. Iran wants to keep Alawite Syria as an ally because the Alawites are Shiites and because it gives them a land connection to Hezbollah who are also Shiites. Russia wants to retain her naval base on the Mediterranean and her airfield nearby. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Karma is a bitch, especially regarding torture

good luck on your court thingy;

firstonethrough: It is a lesson for the world to value as it leaves the year 2015.
thejewishlibertarian: That’s funny. 
A friend of mine wrote this on Facebook. I’m sharing it here word for word. 
Here’s something I agree with them about: nobody should be tortured by their government. If they are in custody, they should be allowed to talk to an attorney. If there is not enough evidence to sustain a finding of probable cause, they should not have been arrested. 
Some will call me inconsistent myself because I benefit from the security of the occupation. So what? I benefit from every service the government monopolizes and forces me to use. If the government monopolized the food industry I wouldn’t stop eating. It’s just how this works. If your country routinely violates human rights norms, and that’s ok with you, you might be next. And that makes them dumb. And maybe a little bit evil, too. That isn’t Karma. 
Truth bomb.

Ari Yashar: 300 citizens, most of them likely Uyghurs, had gone to join ISIS in Syria and Iraq via Malasyia. Coming in second after China was Russia with 99 ISIS jihadists trying to cross in and out of Turkey, while "Palestine" came in third with 83 terrorists. Those numbers include numerous Arab citizens of Israel, including a former IDF soldier

Due to the recent turmoil between Lebanon and Israel, however, many have been repatriated back to the Philippines, while others have been relocated to Cyprus, a part of the Philippine evacuation plan.

NOW.: Filipino influences have yet to infiltrate the mainstream in Lebanon. Yet there are far more Filipinos here than from any other Asian country. With an estimated population of 30,000, they make up seven percent of the country’s workforce, according to a 2008 policy paper by the Kanlungan Center Foundation based in the Philippines. There are about eight or ten locales like Ilokandia that cater to the Filipino community in the Hamra area alone, and in Dora there are many more, says store owner Zakaria Al-Jizi, a Lebanese married to a Filipina he met almost 25 years ago. Indeed, a lot of the restaurants that cater to the Filipino community are run by married Filipino/Lebanese couples, and such pairings are rare examples of the two cultures integrating and collaborating, as opposed to co-existing almost entirely separately.

Richard Javad Heydarian: Being 100 percent Filipino and 100 percent Iranian has been a blessing coupled with a profound responsibility, to know as much as I can about both nationalities. That goal has led me to the political ferment in both Tehran and Manila, giving me a unique vantage point from two distant points on the globe to assess the value of elections to a people’s aspirations. I am an observer with a stake in two nations so different yet also so very much alike.

Doreen Ellen Bell-Dotan, Tzfat: The Hebrew word for Most High is Elyon (mispronounced alien, by English-speakers). 
God is called El Elyon throughout the Bible. These are all Hebrew concepts that have become very sadly mistaken by non-Hebrew speakers and then people start tripping from the basis of their misunderstandings. 
Every time I hear yada yada about whether or not "aliens" exist, I laugh to myself. The word Ananuki is an old Semitic variant of the word Anokhi - which means I. God calls Himself Anokhi throughout the Bible. So, yes, Anoki Elyon - I Am Most High - lives amongst us.

Neil Asher Silberman, Israel Finkelstein, David Ussishkin, and Baruch Halpern: The Book of Joshua (12:21) specifically mentions the defeat of the king of Megiddo and the allotment of his territory to the tribe of Manasseh;

JACQUELINE SCHAALJE: Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh

NETANYA MUNICIPALITY: thanks to the Lord for giving them {Netan~ya, lot. "gift of God"} the ability to continue the legacy of the 12 tribes who settled in the Land of Israel, and particularly of the half~tribe of Manasseh, which settled in the region.

Stephen Epstein: Some went down the Mekong River into Vietnam, the Philippines, Siam, Thailand and Malaysia, while some of the Israelites moved to Burma and west to India.
