VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA'S WILD IRISES IN THE TOWN OF RAMAPO, NEW YORK
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).

"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (New International Version, Revelation 21:22 Multilingual).
Adam Kirsch: But the persistence of anti-Semitism, as demonstrated in the Dreyfus Affair, convinced a later generation of Jews that this was a vain hope—that Jews were indeed a nation, and had better find a state of their own if they were to survive. This was the conclusion that turned Theodor Herzl, a highly assimilated Viennese journalist who barely observed Jewish customs, into the founder of modern Zionism.
But the persistence of Homophobia, as demonstrated by the Orlando Nightclub Shooting, convinced a later generation of Homosexuals that Gay Marriage was a vain hope—that Homosexuals were indeed a nation, and had better find a state of their own if they were to survive. This was the conclusion that turned Viktor Zimmerman into the founder of the Gay Homeland Foundation.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"The Terror you inspire and the Pride of your Heart has deceived you, O Dwellers in the Clefts of the Rock, who Occupy the Heights of the Hill, who says in his Heart, 'Who will bring me down to Earth?' Though you may rise High like the Eagle and though you set your Nest among the Stars, from there I will bring you down, declares YHVH" (Obadiah 1:3-4 Multilingual, Jeremiah 49:16 Multilingual).
Translation: "The United States of America which is called, according to The Spirit, 'In the Name of Sedom and Egypt,' where also their Lord was crucified" (Apocalypse 11:8 Multilingual).
Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
