A Brief History of Scotland's National Animal
June 12, 2015 Kristen KovatchKristen Kovatch#UnicornLeave a comment
No, we're not making it up.
I saw this meme the other day:
So of course, I Googled it. And I'm pretty sure my face probably looked exactly like that. Because this, ladies and gentlemen, is Scotland's national animal:
Yep, the unicorn. But wait! you're thinking. Unicorns aren't real! How can it be a country's national animal?
Sources vary somewhat on the naming of the unicorn as Scotland's national animal: some say that the Scots, being great lovers of legend and myth, chose this magical (and sadly nonexistent) animal to honor such stories. Others state the unicorn symbolizes pride and freedom, being notoriously difficult to capture and tame in legend, representative of Scotland itself in its long battle to remain independent. The truth is probably a combination of both arguments.
The unicorn is represented in the old Scottish royal coat of arms:
These arms were used up until 1603, when James VI of Scotland became the king of Great Britain, France and Ireland after the death of Elizabeth I. King James VI combined the Scottish symbol of the unicorn with the lion of Great Britain. After the Acts of Union of 1707, in which Scotland became part of Great Britain, the Royal Coat of Arms included both the lion and the unicorn.
The unicorn as a heraldic symbol isn't simply a horse with a horn, like perhaps those we've come to love in movies and stories: the unicorn often has cloven hooves and a beard as well as the tail of a lion. Throughout legend, the unicorn is sometimes more like a goat in body, sometimes more like a horse — but it is always incredibly difficult to capture, and is described as being quite dangerous and vicious. (Even the unicorns in the Scottish coat of arms are portrayed in chains — a free unicorn was a hazardous beast.)
While a unicorn at liberty was a dangerous animal, it could be tamed by a maiden, one who was pure of intention. The unicorn was said to go to sleep with its head in the lap of a maiden, allowing itself to be captured by hunters who wanted its horn for its various healing powers. The final scene of a famous tapestry depicts a unicorn penned after being tamed and hunted:
This unicorn legend can also be viewed as an allegory, with the maiden representing the Virgin Mary and the taming representing the Incarnation. A popular children's legend also states the unicorn was too proud to board Noah's Ark, and was therefore drowned in the flood, which is why there are no unicorns today.
Through legend and history, the unicorn has remained a symbol of magic and power; for Scotland, it provides a link to a past full of legend and lore.
Go riding!

Good morning from Memphis, where a court of appeals just lifted an injunction on the Shelby County Election Commission. But first...
Following the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history, people of faith in Memphis and elsewhere have joined together in denouncing anti-Semitism and condemning the act of terrorism.
But with anti-Semitic incidents on the rise, is it enough for Christians to merely disown the suspected terrorist? Jonathan Judaken, a professor of history at Rhodes College, argues in an op-ed for The CA that Christians should also "own the mainstreaming of hate speech that has led to murderous terrorism," a reference to the election of Trump:
Christian evangelicals often preach Jesus's message of love as the antidote to hate: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.... And…You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
Jesus' message was very Jewish. It clearly instructs that in the face of every Other human -- Jew, Muslim, Black, immigrant, transsexual -- we must see the light of God and respond with compassion for their suffering.
But in this case where we have the post-Holocaust murder of Jews simply because they are Jews, perhaps we should take home other lessons. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel taught us that the opposite of hate is not love, but indifference.
We are at a new precipice in American history. And I dare say as a Jew that some Christian soul-searching is called for today.
Around 500 members and non-members of Memphis' Jewish community have gathered at an undisclosed location to pray in solidarity with the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, a synagogue that lost 11 of its members in Saturday in a brutal act of terrorism. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Judaken makes a good point, as he often does in his writings: Too many Christians are untouched with suffering — unlike Jesus, who wept at pain and endured it for others. And there's no doubt President Trump is profiting politically from deepening the divisions in our country with cover from many (but not all) evangelical Christians.
But Christianity, like Islam or almost any other religion, shouldn't be judged by its extremists. The religion — whatever religion it is — is just the excuse for violence. Something deeper and darker was at work in the heart of the suspect, Robert Bowers. Christians today do not shoulder collective guilt for Bowers' actions or past violence any more than Muslims do for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
That said, Christians and all people of faith should disown anti-Semitism — and all other attempts to diminish the value of people. To the extent that Christians have turned a blind eye to injustice or promoted hate, they should own their wrongdoing and the resulting chaos. Trump voters should "own" their role in the tribalism afflicting our country — but tribalism isn't limited to one party or religion or political viewpoint.
Rather than pointing the finger at each other, we should point the finger at the person who committed the murders. Trump-voting Christians do not "own" Bowers' decisions.
However, even if connecting Trump supporters to mass murder is a logical stretch, Judaken is exactly right about the dangers of hatred and indifference. We can hope, with Bruce VanWyngarden, editor of the Memphis Flyer, that Memphis — and its Christians — reject the kind of tribalism that puts people in "hate-boxes":
After the attack on the Tree of Life, the Pittsburgh Muslim community immediately offered aid and comfort to their Jewish brothers and sisters. That is America at its best, and it's who we can be if we resist seeing each other as "globalists" or "nationalists" or "bad hombres" or "Fake News" purveyors or "Pocahontas" or whatever other hate-boxes the president seeks to put us into. I believe Americans are better than the president thinks we are. We just have to show it. Starting next week.
Appeals court lifts election injunction

After a string of legal defeats, the Shelby County Election Commission yesterday won on appeal the right to use provisional ballots on Nov. 6, our Katherine Burgess reports.
The order from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Jackson says people who correct incomplete registration applications on Election Day will cast provisional ballots, not vote on a machine.
"That means that anyone who cures a deficiency on Election Day will not vote on a machine," said Linda Phillips, administrator of elections for Shelby County. "We are encouraging everyone, especially those people who need to cure deficiencies on their voter registration forms to vote early." ...
The court of appeals did uphold a portion of Jenkins' ruling that ordered the commission to send notices to people about their registration status and how to correct incomplete forms. Phillips said that is something the election commission was already doing.
I argued in a column a while ago that not all election issues amount to disenfranchisement of voters, and this is a prime example. Requiring some voters with incomplete voter registration applications to cast provisional ballots isn't an injustice.
Speaking of get-out-the-vote efforts, disappointingly few people showed up for an UpTheVote901 rally yesterday in Binghampton. Organizers expected 200, got 30. Let's hope that's not indicative of Shelby County turnout in this election, which is already setting records across the state.
Additional election-related reading: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn continues leading in recent polls; Blackburn and Democratic opponent Phil Bredesen are in agreement that the Constitution protects birthright citizenship; and U.S. Sen. Bob Corker isn't happy with his party's rhetoric around a migrant caravan.
What's next for EDGE and incentives?

The Economic Development Growth Engine — a pincushion for critics of economic development incentives — could soon be tweaked, Desiree Stennett reports. A committee issued a few vague recommendations yesterday toward that end:
A task force responsible for recommending how EDGE should be reformed on Wednesday approved an initial plan that included workforce training, improving tax incentives and establishing goals designed to increase accountability.
The task force, made up of EDGE board members, business leaders, community advocates and elected officials, will spend the next two weeks revising the plan to create its final recommendations that will be presented to Shelby County commissioners.
Those sound like commonsense goals, but will they move the needle on economic development? On their face, those goals seem like tweaks, not reforms. But what Memphis really needs right now isn't more-of-the-same policies but new and creative solutions to its long-time economic problems. It's not that current policies aren't working — it's that they're not working quickly enough and with equitable benefits for all.

Witnesses describe death of Sean Bolton
October 29 2018 - Tremaine Wilbourn is seen inside of Judge Lee Coffee's courtroom as jury selection begins for his upcoming trial.

(Photo: Brad Vest/The Commercial Appeal)
Our Linda Moore has an engrossing look at the details surrounding the 2015 shooting death of Memphis police officer Seat Bolton that are emerging in the trial of Tremaine Wilbourn.
The entire story is worth a read, but here's how Marquis Wright, a neighbor who witnessed the shooting, described the scene that night:
Wright testified his relative jumped out of the car, left the door open and took off on foot. The police officer pulled Wilbourn out of the car.
As they tussled, Wilbourn shouted for someone to record what was happening, he said.
"He tried to push the officer off, pulled his gun out and started shooting," Wright said.
The officer, Sean Bolton, 33, died that night. An autopsy found he was hit eight times.
Wilbourn, 32, is on trial for first-degree murder, and the state is seeking the death penalty.
Wilbourn's attorney acknowledges his client shot Bolton, but argues it wasn't intentional. Counterpoint: "eight times." Then, Wilbourn hijacked someone to escape the scene.

At this time of year, when it is cold and often wet and windy outside, our mobile tyre fitting service seems to be even more popular with motorists. After all, who wants to spend a couple of hours sitting in a grotty waiting room at a garage or fast fit depot, when you can have us come to your home or work and fit your new tyres while you stay in the warm and get on with your day? Not only is our mobile tyre fitting service extremely convenient, it is also really easy to place your order. All you have to do is call etyres Erdington or enter your tyre size in the search box at the top of the page and you can complete the process within minutes.

If you to buy new tyres and are thinking for one minute about fitting part-worn tyres, because you might save a few pounds upfront, you need to be aware of the implications of fitting secondhand tyres – and they are not good! What might sound like a bargain at first, is often a massive false economy and can end up costing you dearly, not just in monetary terms. A survey carried out by TyreSafe recently revealed that only four of the 67 part worn tyres it inspected met legal regulations and more than half had defects compromising their safety. For the sake of an extra few pounds you could buy a brand new tyre from etyres Erdington which would have a clean bill of health and you could be assured had not been subjected to an illegal puncture repair or suffered internal damage from driving over potholes and crunching against kerbs for the last six months. Not only that, all the brand new tyres we supply and fit, whether they are in the economy, mid-range or premium brand bracket, all have 8mm of tread, whereas part-worn tyres can be legally sold with as little as 2mm. To put that into better perspective, the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm – just 0.4mm of legal tread – and most motoring and safety groups recommend you replace your tyres when they wear below 3mm anyway, because after this their performance deteriorates quickly and dramatically. You don't need to be a maths genius to see the brand new tyre will deliver better value for money because it won't need replacing so soon. TyreSafe actually figured out that the cost per millimetre of a part-worn tyre is on average £6.33, compared to just £5.32 for a comparable new tyre. So how tempting are part-worn tyres now? You shouldn't ask yourself if you can afford a few extra pounds to buy a brand new tyre, the question you need to ask yourself is can you afford to put your safety, and that of your passengers and other road users, at risk by fitting a used tyre?

Jerusalem is Our Capital – Trump appreciated, bold and gallant, but not the issue.
By Erik Zimerman On December 5, 2017 · Add Comment · In Against the Wind, Avvisi, Joab's Men, The Crumbling Ramparts
So it came to pass that the US, under the Trump administration, will shortly recognize we are told, fully or partially, Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. We will see if there are disturbing caveats to the declaration, or in fact it will be bold and gallant as I more likely believe. In either case…
The reaction worldwide has ranged from hysteria and fantastical threats of doom to near euphoria among some in Israel. The hysterics less concern me at the moment, but a note to my more level-headed compatriots is warranted.
The words reported, for and against the declaration, share in common the implied belief that the recognition of Israel's capital by the USA will make what it declares, a fact. How sad that so many of us believe it. The only fact such a recognition would add to the universe of facts is that such a declaration was made.
One would think it would suffice to say that a country determines its own capital. That to the feared pariah states of the world, this common courtesy is extended and de facto state of affairs is recognized. Tehran is Iran's capital and Pyongyang that of North Korea.
On the ruins of Tenochtitlan sits Mexico City, Distrito Federal, while the marxist ANC manages its corrupt regime from not one, but three perfectly recognized capitals, Pretoria as Administrative, Cape Town as the legislative capital and Bloemfontein the Judicial.
The Saudis still maintain their capital as Ryadh, though in 1925, they took control of Islam's holiest cities of Mecca and Medina from the Hashemites who had held it as Sherifs for a thousand years. Why keep them subordinate to Ryadh? Because they feel like it (and Ryadh is the ancestral house of Saud).
Others not only chose them but rename them at will, as Rhodesia's Salisbury was renamed Harare, from where the murderous Mugabe and his communist ZANU-PF have orchestrated the murder of the white population and the economic ruin of the country. The Turks decided that the ancient city of Constantinople was actually Istanbul, and got the entire Western world to follow suit.
So while it would suffice to say that the State of Israel's capital is Jerusalem, since it has so decided, after liberating and reuniting the city in 1967, there is more that must be said.
Jerusalem has been our undivided and eternal capital since King David breached her Jebusite and Hittite defended walls three thousand years ago, while leading our warriors from every Hebrew tribe. In effect it is the first recorded concept of a federal district (such as Washington DC, or Mexico DF), co-owned by many "states", in this case our Hebrew tribes.
No single tribe owned our capital, but rather the nation of Israel as a whole, did so. Not content with sheer military conquest, our holy site was purchased by King David with heavy coin, despite the Jebusite lord's insistence that the mighty conqueror could have it for free.
We often speak of Zion as our 2,000 year old dream. When the Romans vanquished us and took Jerusalem from our heroes who did not number enough to stop the massive empire twenty centuries ago, Jerusalem and her holiness were already ancient to our people. Not only had King David established it as our eternal capital 1000 years before any legion ever reached her gates, but Jerusalem had been our holiest place along with Hebron nearly a millennia even before that… since the days of Abraham who was willing to offer his beloved son to Hashem on Mount Moriah, and where we learned that Gd was not like the petty and vengeful idols of antiquity who required such barbarous sacrifices; in fact, gd abhorred them and prohibited them for eternity.
Give or take, we are speaking about 4,000 years ago. The superpower that long denied and now "threatens" this declaration of recognition has been around not even as long as our "give or take" margin of error in that figure. Throughout this period, we have often held Jerusalem, defended it, fought and bled for it, and more often have had to live within her walls under a foreign power. Babylonian, Achaemenid, Seljuk, Ottoman and even British empires have ruled over Jerusalem, but Jews always lived within her walls, while those outside of them prayed to one day return to her.
Only for 19 years, were Hebrew prayers not heard inside the holy walls… from 1948 when the Hashemite King's powerful Arab Legion wrested the old city from our hands, until 1967 when the immortal paratroopers liberated it by defeating the same and now cowed Arab Legion.
In our very first exile, long before the Romans and their empire, as is so well known we sat by the rivers in Babylon, and wept for Zion. There declared Jeremiah,
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning…"
אם-אשכחך ירושלים– תשכח ימיני
We never forgot, not since the six hundred years before the common era, when we made this vow.
Jerusalem is our capital, eternally and undeniably. We will hold her and protect her while we still have breadth, and even if sometimes we do not, we will always come back to rescue her from the enemy's hands. Ruling a city or not is a de facto issue. When we did not hold Jerusalem, we wept, but we did not hold her. Today, we do B"H.
And deciding which among the cities a state rules is its capital, is a simple decision it makes. We have made it, now and long ago… and thank Gd we hold Jerusalem. Jerusalem is our capital.
A word about how we came to hold Jerusalem this latest time around, may we never depart again.
The story of the IDF's victory over the many Arab states that surrounded her in the Six Day War is well known. In some of the fiercest fighting, (the Jordanians as usual, had fought bravely, well and far better than their arab allies), Jerusalem was taken by the IDF.
While units such as the Jerusalem and Harel brigades, were essential to the battles around Jerusalem and the West Bank, the brunt of the fighting in Jerusalem proper and the capture of the Old city itself was born with the greatest honor by the Paratrooper's Brigade. The palmach-type lads with the red Berets (a brigade your humble author was privileged to serve in).
To tell of the heroics in the Six Day war, and even in only the battle for Jerusalem requires serious books, which have been written, but let us contemplate just a glance of the lions of Judah who settles the score with the Romans in those fateful summer days just decades ago.
Captain Yoram Zamush (or Zamosh) was the only religiously observant company commander in the 71st battalion of the brigade (and perhaps the only one in the brigade!?).
He requested his company lead the assault on the old city. The officers met briefly to make battle plans while still in Israeli controlled Jerusalem (the "new" city), in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cohen in bet hakerem street. Zamush asked Mrs. Cohen for an Israeli flag; they had one, which the family flew yearly on independence day from their balcony.
After the counterattack against the Jordanians, the breakthroughs across their fortified lines, infamous battles around the old city, around Ammunition Hill, the sausage, the Police School, Augusta Victoria,the museum and many others… finally the paratroopers closed in around the old city.
Captain Zamush raced his company, led by his lead platoon commander Lt Yair from Kfar Blum, towards the Lion's Gate ready to battle his way to the Temple Mount. Even after Kapusta's commandos, the legendary Meir HarZion and others had fought hard there, Zamush was still encountering resistance from well entrenched Jordanians. The brigade commander Motta Gur who, like many others, could not control the impetus he felt by the weight of suffering and martyred Jews for millennia who prayed for Jerusalem, raced ahead in his half-track and was the first to crash through the fortified gates into the old city (compare to the situation during the second Lebanon war in 2006, when most IDF Brigade Commanders did not even cross the border into Lebanon, let alone lead their men from the front).
His driver, a non-combat soldier who was a bus driver in his day-to-day life, Sgt. Ben Tsur, eagerly followed Gur's commands to charge through the Jordanians and onto immortality.
Gur's gallant, tough and professional second in command, Stempel, followed behind him and afterwards, Zamush and his company.
The Brigade commander, his senior staff, and Zamush's paratroopers raced for the Temple Mount. It remains to be discussed on another opportune occasion the difference between the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, and the fallacies that have been propagated (in large part by our government) about them.
Fighting before these fallacies circulated, the paratroopers charged forward first and foremost to the Temple Mount, and not the Western Wall below. Once there (the famous pictures circulated by the government are all of afterwards at the Western Wall), the same blessed Ben Tsur produced a bottle of Whiskey for L'Chaims. Motta Gur declared Jerusalem in our hands over the radio (while the truth was that there was one Brigade Commander and a few lone paratroopers in the temple mount surrounded by Jordanian soldiers entrenched in the old city). He feared the government would order them out if he did not declare victory fast enough.
Moshe Stempel, the deputy brigade commander swept the Temple Mount with Company A (Zamush's company) and proceeded towards the Western Wall. Before actually reaching it, he told Captain Zamush to send one soldier to hold it while they went back up and hoisted the flag Zamush had so faithfully and eagerly carried all this time. It was hung on the Temple Mount, overlooking the Western Wall and much of Jerusalem.
The soldier Zamush ordered to take posession of the Western Wall and hold it was Sgt. Dov Gruner.
Dov Gruner was born it is said, on the day his namesake and uncle was hung by the British. A famed Irgun fighter under Menachem Begin, Dov had refused to admit guilt or beg for mercy from the court. He smuggled a letter to his commander, Menachem Begin, which cannot but be quoted in full.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for the encouragement which you have given me during these fateful days. Be assured that whatever happens I shall not forget the principles of pride, generosity and firmness. I shall know how to uphold my honour, the honour of a Jewish soldier and fighter.
I could have written in high-sounding phrases something like the old Roman "Dulce est pro patria mori", but words are cheap, and sceptics can say 'After all, he had no choice'. And they might even be right. Of course I want to live: who does not? But what pains me, now that the end is so near, is mainly the awareness that I have not succeeded in achieving enough. I too could have said: 'Let the future take care of the future' and meanwhile enjoyed life and be contented with the job I was promised on my demobilization. I could even have left the country altogether for a safer life in America, but this would not have satisfied me either as a Jew or as a Zionist.
There are many schools of thought as to how a Jew should choose his way of life. One way is that of the assimilationists who have renounced their Jewishness. There is also another way, the way of those who call themselves 'Zionists' – the way of negotiation and compromise, as if the existence of a nation were nothing but another transaction. They are not prepared to make any sacrifice, and therefore they have to make concessions and accept compromises.
Perhaps this is indeed a means of delaying the end but, in the final analysis, it leads to the ghetto. And let us not forget this: in the ghetto of Warsaw alone, too, there were five hundred thousand Jews.
The only way that seems, to my mind, to be right, is the way of the Irgun Zvai Leumi, the way of courage and daring without renouncing a single inch of our homeland. When political negations prove futile, one must be prepared to fight for our homeland and our freedom. Without them the very existence of our nation is jeopardized, so fight we must with all possible means. This is the only way left to our people in their hour of decision: to stand on our rights, to be ready to fight, even if for some of us this way leads to the gallows. For it is a law of history that only with blood shall a country be redeemed.
I am writing this while awaiting the hangman. This is not a moment at which I can lie, and I swear that if I had to begin my life anew I would have chosen the exact same path, regardless of the consequences for myself.
Your faithful soldier, Dov.
The story of Dov and how he ultimately did face the gallows, despite Begin's most desperate measures and broken British promises, is legendary in itself, but for our purposes here, ultimately he did meet the English hangman along with his brothers in arms Yehiel Dresner, Mordechai Alkahi and Eliezer Kashani.
One wishes that he could have been told, that his own nephew, bearing his name, would enter first, armed, in uniform and representing the victorious IDF in the liberation of the old city of Jerusalem. But reading his letter one also knows that he already knew.
Later, a journalist once asked Moshe Stempel
"Why did you pick Dov Gruner to be first to the Wall?"
"I did not pick him," Stempel replied. "History did."
Stempel was killed a year later while chasing terrorist infiltrators in the Jordan valley. Though wounded in the first exchange of fire, he had refused to be evacuated and continued to lead the operation and his men, from the front.
The flag in the air, and Dov Gruner holding the Western Wall, Rabbi Goren, the IDF's chief Rabbi was not far behind, blowing the Shofar, praying a Shecheyanu and an Yzkor for the fallen, and leading the paratroopers in chassidic dancing on the Temple Mount. Naomi Shemer's new song was also sung, immediately attaining the solemnity of an ancient hymn.
Captain Zamush escorted Rabbi Goren down to the Western Wall. There once again, there were prayers and song.
The always thoughtful Captain had asked Major Menahem Ha-Cohen to go get Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook (whom Zamush had studied under), son of the legendary Rabbi Avraham Isaac Kook, and the venerable Rabbi David Cohen to the Wall.
Rabbi Cohen immediately attended to intense prayers on the Wall, but Rabbi Kook remained in an odd state… speaking mundane trivialities to those around him and appearing non nonchalant in site of the wall. As the immense wells of emotion finally broke free of the shock and disbelief, Rabbi Kook wept openly as he embraced the holy ancient stones.
Most Paratroopers had wept at the Temple Mount, some if in not in awe and recognition of the magnitude of event, at the sight of their brothers, alive and well after so much hard fighting as they continued to gather inside the old city. Later, they would find out about so many who did not make it, but in the moment they could only see those alive.
Some still, remained dried-eyed both at the Temple Mount and the Wall. Perhaps years of secular learning had made it difficult to be openly so emotional about stones after so much violence and so many dead. Perhaps it was just too much.
The observant, and fate-loved Captain Zamush would yet again lead these last still stoic warriors to endless tears. Tears of joy and pride. Captain Zamush now moved from the Temple Mount towards David's tower near the Yaffo Gate. From there he and his men mounted the fortified ramparts the Jordanians held facing Israeli territory and moved towards Zions gate.
At this point, the Jordanians broke at seeing the IDF arrive so clearly from their rear. They had been fired upon for days, they were tired, and realized they were surrounded and cutoff. They had no more fight. The Jordanian soldiers, appeared to the citizens of the Israeli controlled western Jerusalem, silhouetted against the sky on top of the old city walls that directly faced them.
For years the citizens had lived under the imposing walls, not only a symbol of what the nation had lost in the bloody war of 1948, which remained so close and yet so out of reach, but also of the fragility of the newly established state. From the old city walls Jordanian snipers brought death upon the new city in the west, to soldiers and civilians alike. The land directly in front of the border, dominated by the ancient walls, had to be given away as "artist colonies" because land so dangerous had no property value (quite a different story today for those fortunate "artists").
The civilian population of Jerusalem, shelled since the start of the war, sniped at and terrorized since 1948 from across no man's land, and across the Hinnom Valley mow saw the familiar figures of the Jordanians with their helmets on top of the ramparts… but this time with their hands on their head, and the unmistakable silhouettes of the gallant if slightly swaggering Tzanhanim holding Uzis pointed at their new prisoners.
The cheers from the city were indescribable. Time and time again the people down below broke into the national anthem, and children could hardly be stopped from running into no man's land (still mined in many places) towards the paratroopers. Those who had maintained their composure at the Temple Mount, could not now as they too wept openly.
The Generals, Central Command Chief Uzi Narkiss and our Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan.
In all, about 179 IDF soldiers died in the Battle for Jerusalem. Two hundred casualties counting civilians. A tiny fraction compared to the endless thousands who have died for Jerusalem throughout the millennia. But another 179 of our best and before their prime nonetheless. About one thousand soldiers were wounded, and about half of all the casualties were among the Paratrooper's Brigade.
The Jordanians lost an estimated 330 soldiers in the battle and 100 civilians. During the infamous battle at Ammunition Hill alone, 24 paratroopers lost their lives as did 80 Jordanians. Of the 14 Tzanhan officers who fought on the hill, five were killed and 6 wounded.
Our lads, a bit rusty, but still ready to hold the line or push forward, whatever the brass will say. Dr. Yitzhak Yifat, Tzion Karasenti and Chaim Oshri
The last man to fall at Ammunition Hill was a young painter from Kibbuts Givat Haim, Lt. Ophir Fenegar, platoon commander in the 66st battalion. He fell after victory in the battle from fire directed at him from another position, after heroics that cannot easily be described and would look unbelievable in a Rambo movie. Fenegar in the lead had charged many of the Jordanian positions alone, and had done a great deal to maintain the cohesion and morale of the men as casualties mounted in the thick of it. Earlier, he had written a letter to his young wife, when referring to the Holocaust:
I feel that from all this horror and helplessness there arises within me a tremendous will to be strong, strong to the point of tears, strong and keen as a knife, composed and terrible and dangerous. This is what I want to be. I want to know that never again will those vacant eyes stare from behind electrified fences. They will not do so only if I am strong, only if we are all strong—strong, proud Jews. Only if we never again allow ourselves to be led to the slaughter. Whenever I see a terrified Jew, a picture or a word that reminds me of this, I regret every minute that I wasted in the army without taking the fullest advantage to become more efficient.
These are the sort of men who made sure Jerusalem is our capital. They had no need for declarations, they paid for our eternal capital with fire and blood, and only wished us to be strong. Let us earn their sacrifices, and let us at least believe our capital is truly ours.
Captain Zamush writes of his missed commander Moshe Stempel, that when they hoisted Mrs. Cohen's flag on the Temple Mount and the famous picture was being taken:
Stempel tugged my body between himself and the lens. He hid his face so that no film could be made of his tears.
Stempel held my arm in a grip of iron. Twice he tried to speak and twice his voice failed. He pulled me so close that the brows of our helmets were touching.
"Zamosh!" Stempel said, with such emotion that I can hear the words still, though he spoke them almost fifty years ago. "Zamosh, if my grandfather, if my great-grandfather, if any of my family who have been murdered in pogroms and in the death camps . . . if they could know, somehow, even for one second, that I, their grandson, would be standing here at this hour, in this place, wearing the red boots of an Israeli paratrooper . . . if they could know this, Zamosh, for just one instant, they would suffer death a thousand times and count it as nothing."
Stempel gripped my arm as if he would never let go.
"We shall never, never leave this place," he said. "Never will we give this up. Never."
So yes, it is very nice that Mr. Trump will finally declare that the US will recognize what is already a fact. We certainly appreciate the gesture, and I am especially impressed he was able to overcome the Israeli government's hysteric objections (as I predicted would happen before Trump took office). Note that many Presidents have made the promise and none kept it so far. In fact, I assume that during his remarks, Mr. Trump may very well raise some similar points, or at least note that the Jerusalem is our capital already, and his declaration is not making it so.
So I extend nothing but thanks and respects to Mr. Trump and his administration for this move, and for keeping his word. And I very much look forward to hearing his words. But don't for a second forget a sense of proportion. That our mutually proclaimed "greatest ally" finally agrees to recognize the right of our state to chose its own capital within that state, a courtesy extended to all other nations on earth, is not so much an incredible kindness but a sign of how weak our political positions are. When it comes to Israel, we make everything debatable, from our capital being Jerusalem, to the very existence of the state of Israel and our very own right to exist and defend ourselves.
This declaration is not shocking, it is shocking that it has taken so long. But declaration or no declaration, let us not forget what is what.
Just like I have often explained that it is not the cursed 1947 UN vote that created Israel, but rather the victory of our heroes in the 1948 War, so it is not the declaration of the USA that makes Jerusalem our capital, but our own hearts and souls, guided by almighty Gd.
It is reported that a young Senator from Delaware Joe Biden, in 1982 during Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony pounded his fists and threatened Prime Minister Menachem Begin with cutting foreign aid to Israel (he was already a whiny and loud mouth socialist back then). The same Menachem Begin who commanded the brave Dov Gruner and to whom Dov addressed his letter cited above.
Begin reportedly replied (at least something to this effect):
Don't threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.
This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don't threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.
Several Senators remarked to the media after the testimony to have been deeply impressed by the courageous stance of Mr. Begin. (See Here and Here for some notes about original wording, but the above is widely quoted and reported).
Mr. Begin of course, was famous for stating Israel's position clearly and unapologetically, be it to Germans, to Americans or the Arabs, and he did it many times. He played his own crucial part in the liberation of Jerusalem during the Six Day War. He was instrumental in giving strength to the national unity government that it not waiver before Jerusalem had been taken, much as he had done in 1948 in giving Ben-Gurion the impetus to declare independence.
So while we extend great appreciation for Mr. Trump, if he indeed goes on to do what is being reported, and would be finally happy to hear that our greatest ally actually recognizes our capital, let us remember what poor value that declaration of recognition is. We would never pretend to tell the USA that Washington DC is not their capital, despite the fact the land was clearly first taken from Indian tribes by brute force by the British and then in turn by traitors to that same British regime (as King George would see it at least) in successful violent rebellion.
Most importantly, let us remember to stop debating our capital, our territory, and our very existence with our enemies, and let us instead rest assured that we indeed exist due to men like Captan Yoram Zamush, Lt. Ophir Fenegar, Deputy Brigade Commander Stempel, and Brigade Commander Motta Gur among many other heroes, and of course due to the likes of Dov Gruner, his nephew, Menachem Begin and Jabotinsky.
I will take them over declarations any day and twice on Sunday.
Some of the IDF's infamous and legendary bad-asses involved in the liberation of Jerusalem:
Major Yossi Langotsky, Commander in the Reserves for the Jerusalem Brigade's elite Reconnaissance Unit, a dynamic and very intelligent figure who went on to pioneer the Israeli Oil Industry (and being forced out of his share just days short of their value being millions).
Shimon 'Katcha' Cahaner Needs no introduction.
Micha Kapusta, Commander of the Sayeret tzanhanim.. the elite Recon Unit of the Paratroopers
Legendary Paratrooper and Warrior, Meir Har-Zion (a younger Har-Zion in image) joined his friend Kapusta's unit in the fighting.

BetBTC is an online sportsbook which is specialised to accept Bitcoins. They offer trade betting via a betting exchange, like Betfair, and also offer live sports betting. This relatively new sports betting site is great if you fancy a spot of anonymous betting, and they have recently branched out to offer a small selection of non-sports games, such as dice. BetBTC's goal is to become the number one Bitcoin sports betting website on the net.
A series of rules govern each of the different types of sports bets you can make at BetBTC. You can find these rules in the bottom left hand corner of the lobby, and it is worth reading them before making any sports bet. It is pretty standard stuff, but it is best to know exactly how sports bets with Bitcoins work before placing any. The kinds of sports you can bet on at BetBTC include football, horse racing, cricket, tennis, American football, basketball, boxing, motor sports, ice hockey and baseball, with numerous genres and events for you to bet on in each at category. It is also worth noting that when a season for a particular sport ends, they will not appear on the site. However, just because you do not see a sport at BetBTC does not mean that they do not carry it. It could just be the off-season for that sport.
New to BetBTC is a casino dice game. Players can adjust their chance of success in the game, meaning that the less chance of success you have, the bigger the prize pay-out will be. Stakes can range from 0.000001 BTC, up to 1 BTC on this game, with pay-outs ranging from 1.01x your total bet for a 98% chance of success, up to 9900x your total bet with a 0.01% chance of success. This dice game allows the player total control over how they bet, and how they wish to play. There isn't really any other sort of casino game quite like it.
Of course, all transactions at BetBTC need to be made with Bitcoin. Players will have to deposit and withdraw with this method, so you will need a thorough understanding of how to mine for Bitcoins, or how to purchase them from an exchange to play there. Players can deposit using full units of BTC, or they can use dBTC to top up their accounts. BTC means 1 full Bitcoin, whilst a dBTC counts as a tenth of a Bitcoin.
Once you have topped up your balance, it is time to place your bets. This sports betting site features incredibly low commissions, with only your winnings charged. There is also no maximum amount for you to stake on games, making it highly attractive to high-roller who wish to remain anonymous. The cheapest stakes you can wager cost 0.001 BTC.
There aren't really any promotions and bonuses at BetBTC. However, the odd offer does crop up from time to time. BetBTC is capable of offering you 30% back from their commission when you make a referral bet, which you can find in the My Referrals section of your account. On occasion, they may also provide you with an exclusive offer, though this is rare.
Players seeking customer support can obtain assistance via a number of methods. If you seek information regarding the rules of the games, then a relevant section of the site has been created to deal specifically with that. Similarly, there is also a general FAQ (frequently asked questions) section which can also be found in the lobby under the tab "questions".
If you seek more professional assistance, feel free to contact BetBTC's customer support team via an online e-form, available via the "contact us" tab in the lobby.
There are other Bitcoin sportsbooks out there, but BetBTC has tried to do things differently. By cutting the number of promotions, and offering more in-depth betting, they are a slightly more professional Bitcoin sportsbook than their rivals. For serious sports betting fans, this could very well be the ticket that they are after.
If you are looking for bet exchange (bitcoin) don't waste more time cause it's here.
I was almost losing my hope but finally discovered betbtc some months ago. Contrary to others like fairlay, here my coins are not confiscated and wins voided. They will pay you on time without bs.


in a very medium pot over medium heat, soften along 8oz cheese, sixteen oz soured cream, one stick butter and one.5-2 cups Parmesan cheese, stirring ofttimes till liquefied and a good consistency. It ought to begin to bubble.
Stir in coarsely shredded artichoke hearts, your drained jalapenos and drained spinach (I used my hands to squeeze spinach over the sink to get rid of excess water). Finally, stir in 2-3 ironed garlic cloves.
Serve hot with chips or loopy or cooked baguettes.

Bethesda will be releasing a single player campaign trailer for DOOM this week but whether this is a cut of what's to come remains to be seen.
The trailer appeared on Reddit this evening is everything you would expect from a DOOM trailer, demons, guns, and loud music. If the multiplayer beta didn't grab the single player might make up for it.

Sandy Yawn
@CaptSandyYawn
Captain Sandy is back for another exciting season; this time in the beautiful French Riviera. A Fort Lauderdale native with over 29 years of yachting experience, Sandy is one of only a handful of female captains in the yachting industry, and has overcome both professional and personal obstacles, including a life-threatening motorcycle accident and cancer. But it's her strength and resilience that helped her beat the odds at every turn, and has also made her one of the most respected captains in the industry. For Sandy, the guests always come first and she will do everything in her power to satisfy their every need. She expects her crew to be buttoned up to perfection and to deliver her signature "seven-star service." Captain Sandy is ready to lead her new crew in the Mediterranean and to bring her unique management style aboard the new season.
Hannah Ferrier
@hannahferrier_
Chief Stew
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Hannah is in her ninth year as a chief stew in her second home, South of France. After a bumpy last season, and coming face to face with her anxiety, she is now intent on focusing on her work, not on her love life. With renewed determination to provide unparalleled service, Hannah is excited to shows this season's charter guests all the joie de vivre the South of France has to offer.
João Franco
João grew up in Zimbabwe in the midst of political strife and corruption, where surviving became a daily objective. Highly motivated to leave that life behind, João got a job doing day work for a boat captain, which began the rapid career trajectory that landed him as this season's bosun of the Sirocco. While his professional path has been gold star all the way, his personal path has not. This season will prove whether he has learned from his past mistakes and is ready to show to Sandy that he has what it takes to be the best bosun.
Colin Macy-O'Toole
@ColinMacyOToole
Deckhand
Returning deckhand, Colin Macy-O'Toole is ready to take on the South of France and all the challenges that are sure to arise. Colin grew up on the south shore of Long Island, New York and has a degree in music. Although music is his passion, boats are his life. He started working as a deckhand when he was 15 years old, and when he's not crewing the Sirocco, he is the Ferry/Port Captain in charge of all the comings and goings of all the Fire Island ferries. Colin is single and ready to mingle with his infectious sense of humor. He is a quintessential New York Italian Momma's boy, who has a very strong connection to his friends and family. This fish out of water may get homesick, but he is excited to continue in learning more about the yachting industry on his new adventure.
Mila Kolomeitseva
Mila is the first female chef in Below Deck history, and ready to serve her signature French/Mediterranean cuisine to this season's charter guests. Growing up in Siberia as the daughter of a school teacher, she's always been encouraged to learn from cultures around the world. It was that curiosity that inspired her to attend Paris' prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school where she quickly got her first job as a private chef working on a small boat. Although she keeps her kitchen well-maintained and clean, she has a short fuse in the galley, but it's that same passion that has also given her a love of the sea.
Aesha Scott
Second Stew
Growing up with four brothers, Aesha was raised to be loud and gregarious with a bawdy sense of humor and always down to have fun. Growing up in small-town New Zealand, yachting was never really on her radar, however, she was drawn to the adventurous lifestyle. Once she jumped into the industry, she was hooked, and hasn't looked back since. Yachting for over four years, Aesha began working as a deckhand before moving over to the interior. Though she loves both roles, she prefers working with guests and prides herself on always doing an impeccable job. Whether she's partying with her friends and fellow crew, diving, exploring various destinations, or flirting with the nearest deckhand, Aesha's end goal is always the same: to have a blast.
Anastasia Surmava
Third Stew
Anastasia was born in the Republic of Georgia, where she was raised by her pastry chef mother, and at two-years-old relocated to America after her mother remarried. Always looking to absorb as much knowledge as possible, Anastasia immediately took to a life on water when she met and began dating a young captain who introduced her to the industry. With her strong work ethic and perfectionist approach, she is ready to take on being a third stew aboard the Sirocco.
Travis Michalzik
Travis grew up in Perth, Australia, where he decided to leave high school on a pursuit to finding true happiness. After a series of courses and odd jobs, he heard about a deckhand job on a sailing yacht, and for the last eight years has been living the life as a jokester, party boy "yachtie" with a work hard, play harder attitude. As a deckhand, he appreciates good work ethic paired with strong communication skills – if he is going to survive nine charters with his fellow crew, he hopes they're able to match his skill and keep up with him.
Jack Stirrup
A free-spirited Brit, born and raised in Liverpool, Jack spent time working in the Merchant Navy as an engineer and brought those skill to the exciting world of yachting. With his crazy curls, year-round tan and smooth accent, it is easy to see why Jack is quite the ladies' man.
