Hello fellow pixel art fans! This is Blum. He is a loner and an introvert who discovers the real world, one awkward situation at a time. Usually he is sad but walking in Amsterdam makes him a little happier.
Blum is looking for a friend who is also a pixel living in reality.
The Israeli hospital has also treated nearly 50 Arab guerillas, most of them members of Al Fatah, in the many months of Arab commando activity since the war.
“They’re really a nuisance,” Dr. Kalmann Mann, the director of the hospital, said in a recent interview. “They end up in the best rooms because they come in with policemen to guard them and they need the extra space.
“That first week in June we were taking in Arab soldiers and some of our nurses began to object,” Dr. Mann said. “We had a little talk in my office and since then it has been all right.”
“I told them that we have to treat them, as individuals, not as the enemy, and I told them of my own experience in World War II treating German prisoners in Southhampton, England,” he added.

The Brotherhood is an evil flower of the days when fascism was coming to bloom between the World Wars. Its appeal was at first to urban workers, students and lower-middle-class youth of the towns. Soon it penetrated the countryside, the army and–with great effect–the clergy, or mullahs. It was as a fanatically religious Islamic movement that it gained force, turning naturally toward nationalism, xenophobia, anti-feminism, anti-Westernism, even anti-Copt, for the Egyptian Copts are Christians. Read full story.
The overall picture of Soviet support for international terrorism is necessarily incomplete, and is likely to remain so unless Ambassador Aleksandr Soldatov, or another operative of the same caliber, should decide to defect to the West and recount his story.
Few Western Governments have shown much interest in putting the issue of Soviet-sponsored terrorism on their foreign-policy agendas. The reasons for this apparent coyness are debatable.
For those who have convinced themselves that recognition of the P.L.O. and the creation of a Palestinian state are the keys to peace in the Middle East and guaranteed oil at reasonable prices, there may be a similar disinclination to deal with evidence that points the other way.
HUGE STREAM FROM SYRIA, HAURAN IRAQ AND TRANS-JORDAN
So much for Arab immigration to the end of 1931. But it has swelled since then and now penetrates the country from the hungry desert and the poverty-stricken areas of Syria and Egypt into Palestine made flourishing by Jewish efforts, argues Mr. Reubeni. We are now witnessing a tremendous Arab immigration wave from all the surrounding lean countries to the land of plenty, the land destined in principle for the establishment of the Jewish National Home.
Without risk of overrating it, we may take it that in the past two years, 1932-3, another 100,000 Arab immigrants have poured into Palestine, Mr. Reubeni reckons, and adds that while Government takes extreme pains to control, check and prevent illegal Jewish immigrants, the country is wide open to the rampant Arab immigration which is unquestioned and unimpeded.
Something I've been thinking about: every major Russian writer had a completely distinct communication style — and if you look closely, each one developed what amounts to a system.
Not just for writing. For actual human interaction.
My number one is Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog specifically, which has some extraordinary lines from Professor Preobrazhensky that don't get quoted nearly enough.
Which one is yours?
The following conclusions are, therefore, forced upon any reader of the two books who has studied Nilus’s account of the origin of the Protocols and has some acquaintance with Russian history in the years preceding the revolution of 1905-1906:
So much for the Protocols. They have done harm not so much, in the writer’s opinion, by arousing anti-Jewish feeling, which is older than the Protocols and will persist in all countries where there is a Jewish problem until that problem is solved; rather, they have done harm by persuading all sorts of mostly well-to-do people that every recent manifestation of discontent on the part of the poor is an unnatural phenomenon, a factitious agitation caused by a secret society of Jews.
For nearly four months, the United Nations has had before it an appeal for “immediate and urgent” consideration of the case of the Jewish populations in Arab and Moslem countries stretching from Morocco to India.
Four months ago, it was announced that Jews residing in Arab and Middle East areas were in “extreme and imminent danger.” Now that the end of the mandate has precipitated civil war or even worse developments in Palestine, it is feared that the repercussions of this in Moslem countries will put the Jewish populations in many of these states in mortal peril.
The Six Day War went into its third year last week. Palestinian Arab guerrillas, once the butt of Israeli humor, suddenly are assuming new importance—not so much for their acts of terrorism, but because of the way the entire Arab world is reacting even to their most minor exploits. The old dream of Palestinian nationalism is suddenly alive. Arabs who experienced deep humiliation over their crushing defeat by the Israelis now savor the taste of victory in the commandos' savage attacks, which have included the time-bombing of an airliner in which 47 people died and the ghastly rocketing of a crowded school bus.
That taste is all the sweeter for the fact that the very idea of Palestine, a nation that exists only in the minds of those who want to believe in it, encompasses the whole of their mortal fight against Israel. In Arab eyes, no settlement is possible in the Middle East if it does not include recognition of what they consider the rights of the 1.5 million Palestinians who fled Israel in the 1948 and 1967 wars. The small guerrilla bands are often bitterly divided among themselves, united only in their dream of a homeland. "You might call us the Zionists of the Arab World," a young fedayeen (freedom fighter) said recently, only half in jest.
Their esprit became evident this spring, when Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan turned out by the hundreds of thousands to mark the second anniversary of the battle of Karameh. In this fight, 200 guerrillas were detailed to reinforce regular Jordanian army units and were badly mauled by the Israelis. But the Palestinian guerrillas see it not as another defeat but a joyful event. "It was then that our nation was born," they explain.
CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 3 (U.P.)—The Arab League announced today that its eleven member States would boycott all Jewish-produced goods from Palestine beginning Jan. 1.
As “Medinat Yisrael” (State of Israel) was proclaimed, the battle for Jerusalem raged, with most of the city falling to the Jews. At the same time, President Truman announced that the United States would accord recognition to the new State. A few hours later, Palestine was invaded by Moslem armies from the south, east and north, and Tel Aviv was raided from the air. On Friday the United Nations General Assembly adjourned after adopting a resolution to appoint a mediator but without taking any action on the Partition Resolution of November 29.
