Israel's 'Stonehenge' no longer stands alone: Satellite technology opens archaeological frontiers
phys.org
For decades, the massive stone circles of Rujm el-Hiri in the Golan Heights were considered a singular, mysterious anomaly—often dubbed "Israel's Stonehenge." However, new research led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) is rewriting that narrative. Using advanced satellite imagery and remote sensing technology, researchers have discovered that this iconic monument is actually the centerpiece of a much larger, previously hidden phenomenon.

          I’m massively disappointed in sdf.org for doing zero user moderation. I’ve run across more than a few deplorable accounts.

              Is that supposed to be a Hitler reference?

              That doesn’t work anymore now that Jews aren’t powerless like they used to.

              That’s fine, only the insecure blame the Jews for their issues (take a look at the “successful” Arab world as a fine example).

              Care to share your insecurities? as a Jew I might be able to help you with any money or weather issues you might have, I’m also good with space lasers.

                “now that Jews aren’t powerless like they used to.”

                Well, they really weren’t powerless. Thats a myth. Ever wonder what craziness led to genocide in Germany?

                Well lets dig into that because its usually glossed over in schools and just chalked up to racism in a sentence or two. It centers around The 1933 Anti Nazi boycott, which was driven globally by the American Jewish committee (AJC), against the Jewish peoples of Germanys wishes. German jews feared reprisals during a time when things were basically looking up for them, but were extremely charged and difficult because of racist tensions in Germany.

                The (American) AJC launched the boycott as a response to harassment and intimidation leveled at German Jews after the Weimar republic formed in the wake of Germanys loss in WW1. In the Weimar republic Jewish people gained a lot of power via a new state mandated equality and ceased to be locked out of various positions and industries they had been in the past, rapidly becoming powerful members of german society. This caused social tension within the german population already stung by loss of a major world war and paying reparations during a difficult global depression. While the tension was nasty, it seldom led to violence beyond physical initimidation, rocks through windows, marches and slogans.

                The boycott caused Germany to suffer a loss of 25% of its global trade which infuriated and further radicalized Hitler, his industry partners, and his followers. Newspapers declared that the Jews of the world had declared war on Germany. The genocide which followed was about hatreds and long standing biggotries and privelage, yes-- but it was also about trade, as wars often are.
