I wonder who those are, the ones overseeing the courts to make that rule - to change that narrative, rather. A hundred years ago it wouldn’t stand, but people have changed and allowed changes that over time have allowed such unpatriotic behavior. But then people without scruples are alway fine with anything like that, the corrosive elements that are dismantling what once was the great United States of America. Those days are certainly gone, right? Right. They are indeed gone. Today’s ‘woke’ generation has no idea what has been taken, even though it’s their kind who’ve taken the best parts of all this country was once proud of. Warts and all, things were really good. Then people decided to fix things, and took claw hammers to crystal and linen. Just the mindset they are. I hope those people enjoy the new republic that’s been ‘fashioned,’ though it leaves out that all that makes it a republic. One day, when crowds are gathering to find some semblance of order and figure out what all failed, maybe a few of them will realize what’s been missing. Too little too late, when they’re standing on ash heaps. Whoever’s left alive, that is.
When you let strangers in your house you can’t expect to not be robbed, and murdered. “But they seemed so nice; of course we wanted the welcome mat out.”

Apparently you have missed the last four thousand years of history, and you have no idea of the British history regarding Israel (and everywhere else they were before finally they fell, as will the US, but I’m too far ahead of where you are - and obviously are not). I’m very familiar with American history, and I’m also familiar with the history of Great Britain, what with hundreds and hundreds of years of their forays into other countries, and the extreme practices regarding British colonialism. You know it was the British who first used concentration camps (Africa was riddled with them, such cruel practices). Hitler and the Nazis learned that from the British - and took them to the next level. Again, I’m too far ahead of where you are with everything, being as you’re unfamiliar with it all. How sad.
I’ve been a reader of history: world history, you see; American, British, old world - biblical history. I read biblically history along with ancient history, as it is lockstep in accuracy (from either side, what with names, dates, events, etc etc). That is never disputed, even by atheists. Fact-checking is something I have been really big on these last several decades of my reading life, and collecting books has been a hobby and a necessity of mine almost from the time I first learned to read. Several decades. Books open up the world, and all we have to do is open the covers and turn the pages. History just leaps off every page. Fascinating.
So no, actually you’re very wrong; I haven’t missed anything of the short time that you point to about the British empire having their tentacles into Israel and wrongly so, what was mistakenly still called ‘Palestine,’ a holdover from the Romans and the sacking of Jerusalem in 70AD when they slaughtered about two million of the Jews there in God’s most holy place on earth, and driving out almost all the remaining Jews (women, children, old men past fighting age) from their homelands of Israel - Judea, Canaan and the rest - that lands that God had given the twelve tribes, His chosen people. They were sent into Babylonia and the four corners of the earth for thousands of years until (as God’s Word and history both tell us) they would return again to their homelands and become a nation again. Which of course they did, May 12, 1948. Very accurate history that cannot be denied, not from any standpoint. It’s all been written and well documented. But apparently, you’ve missed all this and so much more.
Perhaps if you’d spent time reading and studying history instead of attempting to undermine what you misunderstand as being somehow errant in my understanding, you might know at least some of the highlights. People do like to try sounding so worldly in their poor attempts at history, but they end up stepping all over everyone’s toes, and tripping over their own. I haven’t missed anything, though apparently - obviously, you have missed everything entirely.
Oh, and btw, you sound not just a “wee bit” hypocritical but overly so, not to mention your lack of knowledge where history is concerned. You’d do well to keep your eyes open; Jerusalem is God’s timepiece, you see, and everything that’s going on in the world has to do totally with that tiny piece of land, about the size of Rhode Island. Yes, everything. It’s all about Jerusalem.
“And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut to pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3
God’s prophecies have all been true, and more are coming. His hand is moving and the world is seeing prophecy unfolding. Many deny, though it’s evident they lie to themselves. Many refuse to believe even though it’s what we’re seeing and hearing each and every day. I’m afraid that since you’ve not been a lifelong reader of history you don’t now have time to read it all; some, quite a lot of the most important parts, if you don’t become intrigued with the details (I myself have always loved the details). But you can catch up enough if you put your back into it. It would behoove you to do so, since (as you say) “you apparently missed” so much more than the last seventy years - on which you are so incorrect about, well, all of it.
You should read. You have so much to learn, because you possess such small pieces of limited bits you only cherry picked. Not a good thing to do. It shows your limits, especially to people who’ve read and studied for decades. Avail yourself of knowledge before it’s too late.

Excellent, then. A habit of mine is being in several books simultaneously, picking up first one, then another, wherever I need in whichever books. Five or six is a good limit. More than that requires knowledge about what one is delving deeply into, so if I were you I’d start out with, say - three; three carefully chosen books that mesh within the same timeframes and pace one another only a few hundred years apart. Keep highlighters handy, and - do you journal? That’s great for personal references at later dates, as well as a tracker for the volumes you were in. But before you highlight, underline and annotate - do you purchase books? Otherwise the library won’t appreciate the extra notations ;) Secondhand bookstores are the bomb. I used to require new copies, ‘all mine,’ I’d tell myself. Not necessary, and for the price of one new book I can buy used and select my preference for a copy, and get up to six books for the price of the new one. And it’s easy to pick up ‘like new’ books for a sixth of the cost of new ones. Often I’ve run into first edition, first printings in basically mint condition; I’ve acquired books that have been inscribed by the author to some rather well known people, which is really something to see when I’ve opened my package. I do wonder why family doesn’t maintain ownership of such books; some don’t have the room for so many I suppose, or possibly there’s no family left. Nice to find those, very unique. I would suggest keeping books in chronological order on your shelves, and by alphabetical order, depending on how you prefer your titles. I can pull anything from any of my bookcases in pitch black or blindfolded. I know exactly where everything is. Old habits pay off, lol ~~~
I hope this gets you started well enough. You’ll develop your own personal system quickly enough that suits your personal style. I do hope that you soon feel that hunger: there’s a need to learn in some people, a driving force that’s felt even before you’re fully awake. Information will come more easily, and you’ll know where you want and need to go after you’ve worked your way through initial stages of absorbing humanity, and through finding the Master’s voice in His Word. The more help you get from Him, the more deeply you find your answers, as well as more questions that you’ll be needing answers for. It snowballs, reading to learn. And reading for pleasure, of course. A wonderfully safe kind of addictive behavior.
Happy trails to you, Daniel. You will find the book of Daniel extraordinarily useful, and one you’ll return to again and again and again (especially with Revelation; to understand Revelation one must understand Daniel, and they’re to be studied together). God had distinct plans for that young man; he was one of the greatest prophets, and served both a king on earth as well as his Father in Heaven. Daniel was really something, tasked with end times prophecies, explaining the meanings of dreams for the king, being tossed in with the lions that regularly fed on Christians as the king deemed fit for his purposes, but they didn’t so much as growl at Daniel. Not a peep. I think you’ll really like the book of Daniel. ~~~~~
How nice to meet someone who enjoys “a little history,” yet in whom I detect a little fire in the belly, yes? Becoming a rare find to come across those who back up, look around, and find footing. Others fall into the masses, probably lost to themselves and to all eternity. Enjoy the fruits of your labors, which soon won’t seem like labor. A little ‘job perk,’ so to speak. I do hope we meet again down the road. This has been a nice surprise.
My best regards ~~~~~ 📚🪶
