This Day…
May 31, 1279 BCE: Ramses II (The Great) (19th dynasty) becomes pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. If you accept the contention that Moses lived from 1391–1271 BCE, Ramses would be the Pharaoh who came to power after the Exodus. During his reign he reasserted Egyptian power over the area that would have included Canaan during the period of the Judges. However, the Bible talks about the Canaanite tribes and Philistines as being the Israelites’ enemies and not the Egyptians.[1]
1279-1213/12 BCE Reign of Ramses II. The traditional period of the plagues of Egypt and the Exodus.[2]
1274 B.C.E.With Hatusa’s defense in a state of readiness Prince Atusily’s left the city in the year 1274 B.C.E. Appointed commander and Chief of the Hittite army, he set off to face Ramses, the most powerful ruler of the ancient world. At the border town of Kadesh the two armies prepared to clash. Egyptian temples claim Ramses won a magnificent battle. When Hatusa’s was discovered it was found that the Hittite records indicate that they were the victors.[3]
1265 B.C.E: Prince Atusili seized the throne from his unpopular nephew King Mutually.
Hittites were known as the people of a thousand God’s. They were also known as the people of a thousand laws.[4]
Atusili and Tutahephop construct an open air sancuary of Husicalaya. The whole sanctuary is dedicated to the storm god. It is a procession of all the gods and godesses to a central figure, the storm god. This is a new pantheon. This is a new god brought This is a new god that Tutahephop, Atulili III’ wife brought from Selicia, south of the empire when she came to marry the king. Tutahephop attemted to unify the empires thousand gods into groups of similar gods. It seemed to be an attempt to unify the empire, but other groups seemed to be pulling it apart. [5]
1263 BC: It is from here around the year 1263 BC the story of the Exodus in the Bible probably took place.[6]
1258 B.C.E.: The treaty of Kadesh was written sixteen years after the battle between the Hittites and the Egyptians and brought peace between the two superpowers of the day.[7]
c. 1250
After 1500, contemporaneously with the migrations of the Arameans into that region the Israelite tribes advanced into Palestine C. 1250, under the leadership of Moses, some of the tribes left Egypt (God’s revelation on Mr. Sinai: the pact between God and the chosen Israilite tribes; Jehova the only Lord; the Ark of the Covenant the Ark of the Covenant the focal point of the religious life). Ties were established with the tribes already in Palestine.[8]
• 1250 BCE: Pinchas earned the kehuna/priesthood, identified as Eliyahu Navi.[9]
[10]
1250 BC
Shemot - Exodus
Chapter 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 NOW THESE are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt with Jacob; every man came with his household:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people: 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us;
10 come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.'
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were adread because of the children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour.
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; in all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour. 15 And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah;
16 and he said: 'When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, ye shall look upon the birthstool: if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.'
17 But the midwives feared G-d, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive.
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them: 'Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?'
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh: 'Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.'
20 And G-d dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared G-d, that He made them houses.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying: 'Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.'[11]
May 31, 70 C.E.: The Jewish defenders of Jerusalem surrendered the first wall of the city to the Romans.[12]
May 31, 1593: The Jews were barred from living in Riga and Livonia.[13]
May 31, 1647: The Rhode Island General Assembly drafts a constitution calling for separation of church and state.[14]
May 31, 1665: Sabbeti Zevi proclaimed himself Messiah. The most famous of all the False Messiahs, Sabbeti Zevi enthralled tens of thousands of Jews. His message was accepted across all social and economic classes. His followers were to be found throughout Jewish communities in Europe and the Orient. Turkish authorities became alarmed at his growing popularity and had him arrested. The Sultan gave him the choice of proving his claims or suffering the death penalty. The would-be Messiah gave up the game, accepted a minor governmental position in Turkey and converted to Islam. The whole episode might be written off as a farce if it were not for the fact that so many had believed in him and were disillusioned by the outcome. In addition, charges of being a secret supporter of his beliefs would tear at the fabric of Jewish society for decades to come.[15]
May 31, 1740: Frederick William I passed away. As a result of his death, recently passed legislation that would have led to the end of the Jewish community in Berlin was not enforced.[16]

[17] Joshua Fry Historical Marker This photograph by Beverly Pfingsten is reprinted here courtesy of the Historical Marker Database. Copyright © 2006–2010 hmdb.org (http://www.hmdb.org/)
The Fry and Jefferson map was originally prepared by Joshua Fry and Thomas Jefferson‘s father
Peter in 1751. It was published in London in 1755 after Fry‘s May 1754 death. Fry was in charge
of leading a military expedition from Wills Creek, but fell from his horse and died. A Colonel
Joshua Fry historical marker is located at Riverside Park in Cumberland, Maryland.[18]
May 31, 1777
Captain Molitor reported two accidents in his diary entry of May 31, 1777. “Today the anchor ropes were fastened on [the anchors] and the anchors secured on the sides of the ship. The 1st mate Briggs, in so doing, had the misfortune that an anchor of sixteen hundredweight, which slipped fell on him. It hit him in the groin above the right hip and knocked him, seriously injured, under it. The mast, which it fell against at the same time, absorbed part of the heavy weight and saved his life. Today we received the report that during the last storm a sailor from the ship Symetry fell from the mast and was never seen again”[19]
May 31st, 1782
May 31st .Friday.—We started earlier this morning than we had done any day yet; & had in the forepart of the Day a midling level Country & open Woods. After 7 miles march we came to a very small run with steep Banks, where on the edge of the Bank the Tuscarawos road joins this path. I went to examine this path with our pilot, and found fresh tracks that had gone down. Not quite 2 miles from this run stood formerly Mohickin John’s Town, surrounded by Glades & small Lakes. A litle fresh run originates at a small Spring, about 300 Yards Back meandreing [sic] through Grottos of Wood and the eastermost Branch of White woman’s Creek winds along the foot of a mountain which closes the prospect, the soil here though not very rich seems sufficiently so for the production of grain, and the lakes are full of fish.
Swamps & Mires intersect the Country, who are almost unavoidable & form dangerous Defiles, to avoid these our pilots sat out a South course along a blind path close to the right of the first Lake: a road they formerly had travelled & they were acquainted with; & left 2 very plain paths to our right bearing W. of which the northermost one leads past a large Lick.
After marching 2 miles we crossed Ku-kub-sing (a branch of White woman’s Creek so called from a Town at the mouth of it) traversed a Glade—recrossed the same Creek, and came upon a miry place but a few yards wide—deep to the shoulders of a horse, & passable by one man at a time only, occasioned by an impenetrable morass on the right & a high steep Hill on the Left. It is a kind a Draft [sic] which empties itself out of this morass into the Creek a few yards from where the main Body crossed it. I tryed whether it was not possible to avoid this draft by crossing the Creek some distance below it, & found it practicable. But a narrow path for 2 or 300 yards continues along the foot of the hill, only passable in an Indian File & beset with thickets.
Our pilots asserted that the other 2 paths we left at Mohickin John’s Town to our right running W. were so miry & hilly that it was impossible for a traveller on foot to get along, three miles farther on we came upon the midle fork of White Woman’s Creek, on which we encamped & here the Glades end— [20]
May 31, 1782
The 1782 recruit shipment for the Waldeck Regiment, escorted by Sergeant Stuckenfrock, included 1 officer, 5 NCOs, 1 medic, 4 drummers, and 124 recruits, plus either 13 or 16 wives. They boarded the transport Enterprise at Bremerlehe with recruits from Anhalt-Zerbst and Brunswick. The Neptune carried equipment for the Waldeck Regiment and the convoy was escorted by the frigates Emerald, Cyclops, and Pettipoint.[21]
To JOHN HARVIE
Mount Vernon, May 31, 1785.
Sir: I. am informed that a patent (in consequence of a Certificate from Commrs. appointed to enquire into, and decide upon claims for settlement of the Western Lands) is about to issue to the heirs of Michl. Cresap, from the Land Office of this Commonwealth, for a tract of land on the river Ohio formerly in Augusta County, now commonly called and distinguished by the [name of Round bottom: against granting which to the heirs of the said Cresap, I enter a Caveat for the following reasons; First, because this Land was discovered by me in the month of Octor. 1770, and then marked; which was before, as I have great reason to believe, the said Cresap, or any person in his behalf had ever seen, or had the least knowledge of the tract. Secondly, because I did at that time, whilst I was on the Land, direct Captn. (afterwds. Col.) Willm. Crawford to survey the same for my use, as a halfway place or stage between Fort Pitt and the 200,000 acres of land which he was ordered to survey for the first Virginia regiment agreeably to Govr. Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754. Thirdly, because consequent of this order he made the survey (this survey is either in the hands of the County Surveyc Augusta, or with my agent in the Westn. Country: it is to be found among my papers; tho’ I am sure of the fact, will procure it if necessary) in the month of the following for 587 acres, and returned it to me accord in~ and equally certain I am that it was made before Mr. Cre or any person in his behalf had ever stretch’d a chain there knew of, or, as I have already observed, had taken a sin step to obtain the land. Fourthly, because subsequent of t survey; but previous to any claim of Cresaps, a certain I Brisco possessed himself of the Land, and relinquished after I had written him a letter in the words contained in ti inclosure No. ~ Fifth1y, because upon the first informatic I received of Cresaps pretentions, I wrote him a letter, which No. 2 is a copy. Sixthly, because it was the practic of Cresap, according to the information given me, to notch few trees, and sell as many bottoms on the river above th Little Kanhawa as he could obtain purchasers, to the disquie and injury of numbers. Seventhly, Because the Commrs wh( gave the Certificate under which his heirs now claim, coulc have had no knowledge of my title thereto, being no person in that District properly authorised; during my absence, to support my claim. Eighthly, Because the survey, which was made by Cob. Crawford, who was legally appointed by the Masters of Wm. and Mary College for the purpose of surveying the aforesaid 200,000 acres, is expressly recognized and deemed valid by the first section of the Act, entitled an Act, see the Act; as the same was afterwards returned by the surveyor of the county in which the Land lay. Ninthly and lastly, Because I have a Patent for the said Land, under the seal of the said Commonwealth signed by the Governr. in due form on the 3oth. day of Octor. 1784; consequent of a begai Survey made the i4th. of (July 14) 73 as just mentioned, and now of record in the Land Office.
For these reasons I protest against a Patent’s issuing for the Land for which the Commissioners have given a Certificate to the Heirs of Mr. Cresap so far as the same shall interfere with mine: the legal and equitable right thereto being in me.
If I am defective in form in entering this Caveat, I hope to be excused, and to have my mistakes rectified, I am unaccustomed to litigations; and never disputed with any man until the ungenerous advantages which have been taken of the peculiarity of my situation, and an absence of eight years from my country, has driven me into Courts of Law to obtain common justice. I have the honor, etc.”[22]
May 31, 1821: The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in Baltimore, becomes the first Catholic cathedral in the United States.[23]
1822-1823: Bro. Andrew Jackson, ancestor and President, was a member of Harmony Lodge, No. 1, located in Tennessee, and served as Grand Master of Masons in Tennessee from 1822-23.
Jackson was the first President to have running water in the White House. Interestingly enough, he also had twenty spittoons strategically placed throughout the East Room of the White House.
Jackson fought in a number of duels, including one in 1806 in which h he shot and killed a man.
A man once called on the President to plead the case of a soldier who had lost his leg on the battlefield and who needed to retain a small postmastership in order to support his family. “But I must tell you” the man said frankly, “ that he voted against you.” Jackson replied, “ If he lost a leg fighting for his country, that is a vote enough for me.”
A clergyman called President Jackson several times pestering him for a Federal appointment. Jackson finally asked, “Are you not a Christian Minisater?” The man replied, “I am.” “Well,” Jackson said, “ if you discharge the duties of that office, which is better than any I can confer, you will have no time for any other.”[24]
Tues. May 31, 1864
Started back at 6 went 12 m and camped
Got a letter and paper from home May 15 date rained hard shower at 4 pm[25]
To Augusta, May 31, 1865.[26] With the war obviously over, the regiment found it strange that they had to continue with daily battalion or company drill and dress parade every evening. False hopes were raised when orders to march were issued. Instead of a return to Savannah, the regiment was marched to an old United States arsenal three miles southwest of Augusta. Once again, the Iowans put on a show as they marched through town. Large brick buildings provided comfortable quarters for both officers and men. The arsenal had manufactured ammunition and supplies for the Confederate Army during the war. A number of shell fuses and signal rockets provided the regiment with a beautiful evening of fireworks until a misdirected signal rocket killed a member of the 28th Iowa, ending the festivities.[27]

This is Memorial Day 2011 and I hope that everyone takes a moment to pray for those who have died or fought for the freedom we have today. I will be with the Shriner “Genies” at the Wood Dale Memorial Day parade this morning and after that if I make it I will be performing with the Baker Methodist Men’s Choir in St. Charles in a tribute to all of the armed forces.

Dear Jeff,
Three times now President Obama has called for Israel to retreat to its 1967 borders, despite the fatal security implications that would pose to the Jewish state. As Prime Minister Netanyahu noted in his speech before Congress, those borders are indefensible. But it's even more ironic that these proposals, which would also require dividing the Holy City and taking much of it away from the Chosen People, are being made just as Israel prepares for Jerusalem Day.
Next Wednesday is Jerusalem Day, the day Israel celebrates the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of the ancient City of David. During the 1967 Six Days War, brave Israeli paratroopers, though hugely outnumbered, fought their way to the top of the Temple Mount. I've met many of these courageous warriors in person, and I'll never forget the stories they told of that wonderful day.
The Holy City is forever and eternally the property of the nation of Israel. It is an historical fact. It is a Biblical promise. Jerusalem is the only city on earth where God has set His name...and the only city that comes with a curse upon all nations who rise up against it. If we allow the Obama Administration to curse Jerusalem in our name, our nation will fall under a terrible curse.
Barukh..ha -mevarekh et ammo Yisrael ba-shalom Blessed be He who blesses His people with Peace.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans
This Day…
May 30, 70: During the Siege of Jerusalem, Titus and his Roman legions breach the Second Wall of Jerusalem. The Jewish defenders retreat to the First Wall. The Romans build a circumvallation, cutting down all trees within fifteen kilometres.[1]
May 30: 1096: In one of the few instances of individual courage, the local Bishop of Cologne and some of the local Burghers offered the Jews protection in their own houses. The Bishop later escorted them to towns under his protection. Crusaders reached Cologne and found the gate to the city closed by order of the bishop. Of all the Jewish communities in the path of the Crusaders, Cologne's Jews were the only ones to escape total destruction.[2]
May 30, 1252: Saint Ferdinand III, the King of Castile and King of Galicia and Leon passed away. The King must have been both courageous and practical. He stood up to the powerful Catholic Church when refused the Pope’s demand that Jews be forced to wear special badge and clothing. He was afraid that the requirement would force the Jews to leave for Muslim Granada which would have had a disastrous effect on revenue collections for his kingdom.[3]
May 30, 1382
• The Synod instructed every diocese to publish the verdict. Wheatcliff became ill and was paralized by a stroke. Two years later he died. Wheetcliff’s death did not mean an end to the movement, but Lolards were in constant risk of their lives.[4]
May 30, 1574: Henry III becomes King of France on the death of his brother, Charles IX. Henry had been serving as the King of Poland at the time of his brother’s death. He owed his selection as ruler Poland to a Jew named Solomon Ashkenazi who was an advisor to the Turkish Sultan.[5]
May 30: 1635: During what will be known as the Thirty Years War (it started in 1618 and ended in 1648) the Peace of Prague is signed marking the start of the end of hostilities. The war will finally end with the Peace of Westphalia. The war was between pitted Protestants against Catholics with Jews caught in the middle For example the Jews of Vienna suffered as a result of the occupation of the city by Imperial soldiers in 1624 when Emperor Ferdinand II confined the Jews to a ghetto. The fighting centered around Germany, Austria, France and the Netherlands and throughout many towns in Germany and Moravia, the Jewish population was expelled, which resulted in thousands of refugees fleeing to Cracow and other Polish cities. These Jews would get caught up in the uprisings that took place in Polish dominated Ukraine. The good news is that the end of the Thirty Years War would mark the rise of a flourishing Protestant Netherlands that would prove a home to European Jews.[6]
May 30, 1762: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in Emden, Prussia.[7]
May 30th, 1775
Early in the morning the women, went out to milk, guarded by most of the garrison; and before they were aware of impending danger, the concealed Indians opened a general fire, which killed three of the men, and drove the others, hastily within the fort.[8]
May 30, 1776
At the time of the outbreak of the American War of Independence Waldeck had nearly a century-old tradition of hiring mercenary troops. In contrast to the Kassel contract for troops, the Waldeck document contained a
paragraph establishing reimbursement of the ruler of Waldeck for every soldier killed or wounded in action. Lord Cambden, a speaker for the King's loyal opposition
alluded to this blood money in a debate in the House of Lords. "The whole is a mere mercenary bargain for the hire of troops on one side, and for the sale of human
blood on the other; and... the devoted wretches thus purchased for slaughter are mere mercenaries in the worst sense of the word." 1)
A decree of 1755 had ordered conscription procedures in Waldeck which allowed only university students exemption from service, but in 1776, the ruler of Waldeck attached
great importance to sending only volunteers to America. At the beginning of the War of Independence two Waldeck regiments were stationed in Holland. A part of the
officers and men transferred to the newly-formed Third English-Waldeck Mercenary Regiment. Nevertheless it was difficult to acquire recruits in the time allotted. Even the poor of Waldeck were not especially anxious to subject themselves to the American adventure. Therefore recruitment abroad, i.e., in other German territories, was required to hire the necessary troops. Instead of a bounty, recruits were offered a daily cash payment. The regiment arrived at the port of Bremerlehe in May 30, 1776 with a two-week delay. Therefore the Second Division could not set sail for America until June 2.[9]
Even as the Hessian riflemen were arriving in America, the British authorized the deployment of five riflemen to each company, arming them with short barreled rifles similar to those carried by the Jaegers. Additionally, one company of each regimen’s 10 was designated a “light company” of skirmishers and scouts, and these troops, too, oftren included riflemen. The British employed small numbers of riflmen in support of larger elements, rather than designating them to separate units.
There were exceptions, the most notable being the Corps of Riflemen led by Capt. Patrick Ferguson. A world-class marksman considered the finest rifle shot in the British Army, Ferguson also was the inventive genius who designed the world’s first breech-loaded military rifle, which could fire an astounding six aimed shots per minute. When he demonstrated his rifle for King George III in June 1776, not only did the enthusiastic monarch order it into production, but he authorized Ferguson to recruit his own 100 man Corps of Riflemen to be armed with the revolutionary gun. [10]
Unfortunately for Ferguson, his commander in America, Sir William Howe, did not take well to young upstarts with pet ideas. Howe publicly welcomed the new unit and its peculiar rifle, but he sought to dispose of both. [11]
May 30, 1778: Votaire was intiated into the Lodge Les Neuf Soeurs (Lodge of the Nine Muses) in Paris, on April 7, 1778, less than two monthys before his death on May 30th. He was very weak, and was assisted by two brothers, one of whom was Benjamin Franklin. Because of his frail health, he was exempted from the more rigorous tests experienced during the French rite of initiation. Voltaire was given a gift apron worn by the philosopher Claude Adrien Helvetius, one of the founders of the The lodge of the Nine Muses, who died in 1771.[12]
May 30, 1779
On May 3oth, the fleet sailed up the Hudson, and anchoring off the Phillips house, disembarked the troops for the expedition, making a force of 5,000 men — of which the German contingent included the Guards, the Grenadier battalion of v. Linsingen, and 400 Hessian and Rhenish Yãgers. The Prince Charles regiment had come with the fleet from the south. Although it counted 70 sail, large and small, and 140 flatboats, there was hardly standing room on deck.[13]
May 30, 1779
…I heard assembly blown in the Jager Corps. I hurried back as quickly as possible and found that Major Prueschenck, Captain Lorey, and I, each with one hundred men, were ordered to march immediately to Philipse’s wharf. There we found all the grenadiers of the army, the light infantry, the Legion, Ferguson’s Corps, four English regiments, and Robinson’s provincials. The flatboats were boarded at once, and these troops were all embarked on the transport ships of the Mathew Corps. Eight hundred men were thrown on each ship, whereby everybody was stacked in such an unpleasant position that no one could either sit or lie down. All the horses had been sent back. We had nothing with us but what we carried on our backs, not even a bite of bread.
At daybreak on the 31st this fleet, under Commodore Sir George Collier, set sail under escort of two 64-gun ships, three frigates, and four row galleys. Aided by the flood tide and a mild east wind, the fleet passed up the Hudson River and anchored about midday at Tellar’s Point, where all the troops disembarked under General Pattison except for three English regiments and one hundred jägers under Captain Lorey, which were put ashore at Stony Point across from Tellar’s Point.
The march of the main corps, under the Commander in Chief and Major Generals Vaughan and Kospoth, took place along the bank toward Verplanck’s Point. The Americans had constructed a fort there for the protection of this passage of the river, where a battery was cut in the rocks at Stony Point. Since the work on the right bank was open, it was abandoned at once by the enemy and occupied by General Pattison toward evening, but Fort Lafayette on Verplanck’s Point was a good defensive position and garrisoned with a Carolina battalion and six 12-pounders.
General Vaughan advanced at once against the fort with two hundred jàgers, Ferguson’s Corps, and the English grenadiers to assault all the approaches, and at the same time the row galleys drew close to the fort so that they could fire upon it. Firing began immediately between the galleys and the guns of the work. The enemy work was summoned at once, but the commandant refused to surrender and declared he would resist. The army encamped so that the enemy corps under General McDougall could not attempt a rescue.
The row galleys fired upon the fort until nightfall, for it was unapproachable from the land side in front of heavy guns because of the inaccessible terrain. The jagers and Ferguson had to approach as close as possible on the land side in order to harass the garrison of the fort with rifle fire, but this could not help much since the whole fort was built of rocks and building stones.[14]
May 30 and 31, 1780
On the 30th and 31st the jãger detachment and the English and Hessian grenadiers were embarked on transport vessels in the Cooper River above the city. Today all the warships which were to protect the fleet sailed to Five Fathom Hole.[15]
May 30th, 1782
May 30th.—We march’d early this day steering N.West along this path called after Bouquet— A number of horses being lost—2 Companies were left on the ground.
A short distance from our encampment we saw a large Deer Lick, and 2 miles farther on we struck a path crossing ours in a rectangle almost. this is the strait path from Sandusky to Wheeling and crosses the Muskingham about 10 Miles from the upper Moray. Town.
“One of our pilots (Zaines) proposed striking this path in “a strait direction from the Mingoe Bottom—and the other “a path to the N.E. of us, about 8 miles from our first en“camping ground, between the 8 forks of Yellow Creek.”
Here we left Bouquet’s road & followed this Warrior’s path running N.W. towards Mohickin John’s Town, where the fort Laurens road joins it.
two days before us a party of 60 Warriors had travelled along here towards our frontiers. Of 3 horse tracks, who had kept a-head of us from the Moray. Towns to observe our motions one had followed the Warriors and 2 kept before us on the Sandusky course.—The Woods were on fire at different places. At 11 o’clock we were joined by the remaining party & grossed immediately after a Bad Defile: marching down a rocky hill, at the foot of which we had to cross a Creek & immediately again to ascend a steep rocky hill covered by an open Wood. A place formed to obstruct numbers with a handfull of Men, particularly as the Hill on the north Side commands the other, on this side the Creek.
the Country in general is level, rich, well timbered and intersected by a great many runs, who are accompanied by excellent Bottoms.
In the evening we entered a Bottom several miles long, watered by different winding runs & terminated by Kill Buck’s Creek. We crossed it about Miles [sic] from Kill Buck’s former town & encamped along it at the upper end of the Bottom. the north Banks of this Water were so steep & miry that we were baffled in several places in our attenipts to get out of the Creek. the easiest ford is in a curve of the Creek to your Right hand as the common path leads, and then you are obliged to go a piece in the Water up the Creek.
I calculate this day’s march at near 20 miles. We passed several encampments of this party of Warriors going to our frontiers, who probably proceeded but slow, and detained hunting. It would have been necessary to have sent a runner back to apprize our frontiers of this impending danger. the letters were wrote & we could but get one Man willing to undertake carrying them; on condition, another one would accompany him. But as no other could be found, the matter fell through.[16]
X.— MOORE TO IRVINE.
IN Council,, PHILADELPHIA, ,May 30, 1782.
Sir:—Your favors of the 2d, 3d and 9th of the present month, with the representations made by Colonel Williamson[17] and Colonel Marshel,[18] have been read in council and shall be immediately laid before congress[19] as a matter of high importance to the reputation of this state, and to the generl interest and honor of the United States. We request that you will continue your inquiries on this subject and transmit us such information from time to time as may come to’your knowledge tending to elucidate this dark transaction.[20]
The proposed immigration appears to be a dangerous measure; and if the circumstances which you mention respecting Mr. J— can be ascertained, he ought to be secured as a British emissary employed to inveigle away our citizens and place them in a situation whicli must compel them to put themselves under the protection of the British as the only means by which they can be secured from the ravages of the Indians. Such an event would afford a plausible story, which the British would seize with avidity and represent at every court in Europe as an instance of submission to them on the part of America; a story which might be extremely injurious to America, and such as no man who has a due regard to his country would give a countenance to by any act of his.
The recruiting service is of so much importance that we cannot forbear to inquire anxiously what success you have in it and to request you will transmit to us a return of the recruits you have obtained as early as possible.
As to the expedition you mentioned, we can only say, we confide in your zeal and prudence to direct the force which may be in your power in the most effectual manner for covering the frontiers.1A

…But to attend to your letters, in answer to which I say I do not recollect where I first saw Col. Oldham but am confident he did not belong to our (Capt. Stephensons) company but that Conway Oldham his brother did belong to it, viz. Capt. Hugh Stephensons firs company of riflemen, Stephenson was I think the oldes or first Capt in the revolution Daniel Morgan near the same time marched a company from Frederick County to Cambridge near by Boston, from thence he went to quebeck I think he departed from near Cambridge College about the first of July 1775. I remain’d in Stephensons company at Roxbury near Boston at the siege in sight of the enemy about nine months. Thence in the Spring 76 marched to New York Staten Island &c. I was intimately acquainted with Colonel Wm. Oldham on St. Clairs campaign but was not with him when he fell.[22]

[8] Those who went out early in the morning to milk the cows, were Mrs. Ann Logan, Mrs. Whitley, and a negro woman. They were guarded only by William Hudson, Burr Harrison, John Kennedy, and James Craig. The women and Craig escaped into the fort unharmed; Kennedy, with four balls in his bodey, contrived alto to escape; Hudson was killed outright, and Harrison fell wounded. He was supposed by friend and foe to have been killed. The story of his final rescue by Logan, is related by Withers below. As told to Dr. Draper, by Capt. Benjamin Biggs, and as recorded in Whitleys MS. Narrative, in possession of the Wisconsin Historical Society, the story in Withers in substantially correct. It is said that Logan rolled a bag of wool before him, and thus approached Harrison under cover; then making a rush towards the latter, he picked him up in his arms and dashed successfully into the fort. These accounts make no mention of Martin’s intervention. Harrison died of his wounds, June 13.

[25] “We were called bushwhackers, as a term of reproach, simply because our attacks were generally surprises, and we had to make up by celerity for lack of numbers. Now I never resented the epithet of “bushwacker” although there was no soldier to whom it applied less, because bushwhacking is a legitimate form of war, and it is just as fair and equally heroic to fire at an enemy from behind a bush as a breastwork or from the casemate of a fort.” Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby (1887).

[26] The Twenty-fourth Iowa had a skirmish with the enemy while engaged in a reconnoitering expedition from Morganza, in which Captain B. G Paul, of Company K, was killed, and four enlisted men were wounded. The losses of the regiment while connected with the troops commanded by General Banks had reached the aggregate number of 48, and the results accomplished, during that period of its service, were not only not commensurate with the loss, but the officers and men of the regiment were fully justified in the opinion that the sacrifice had been in vain, and they were rejoiced to know that a change for the better was in prospect.

This is Memorial Day 2011 and I hope that everyone takes a moment to pray for those who have died or fought for the freedom we have today. I will be with the Shriner “Genies” at the Wood Dale Memorial Day parade this morning and after that if I make it I will be performing with the Baker Methodist Men’s Choir in St. Charles in a tribute to all of the armed forces.

Dear Jeff,
Three times now President Obama has called for Israel to retreat to its 1967 borders, despite the fatal security implications that would pose to the Jewish state. As Prime Minister Netanyahu noted in his speech before Congress, those borders are indefensible. But it's even more ironic that these proposals, which would also require dividing the Holy City and taking much of it away from the Chosen People, are being made just as Israel prepares for Jerusalem Day.
Next Wednesday is Jerusalem Day, the day Israel celebrates the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of the ancient City of David. During the 1967 Six Days War, brave Israeli paratroopers, though hugely outnumbered, fought their way to the top of the Temple Mount. I've met many of these courageous warriors in person, and I'll never forget the stories they told of that wonderful day.
The Holy City is forever and eternally the property of the nation of Israel. It is an historical fact. It is a Biblical promise. Jerusalem is the only city on earth where God has set His name...and the only city that comes with a curse upon all nations who rise up against it. If we allow the Obama Administration to curse Jerusalem in our name, our nation will fall under a terrible curse.
Barukh..ha -mevarekh et ammo Yisrael ba-shalom Blessed be He who blesses His people with Peace.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans
This Day…
May 30, 70: During the Siege of Jerusalem, Titus and his Roman legions breach the Second Wall of Jerusalem. The Jewish defenders retreat to the First Wall. The Romans build a circumvallation, cutting down all trees within fifteen kilometres.[1]
May 30: 1096: In one of the few instances of individual courage, the local Bishop of Cologne and some of the local Burghers offered the Jews protection in their own houses. The Bishop later escorted them to towns under his protection. Crusaders reached Cologne and found the gate to the city closed by order of the bishop. Of all the Jewish communities in the path of the Crusaders, Cologne's Jews were the only ones to escape total destruction.[2]
May 30, 1252: Saint Ferdinand III, the King of Castile and King of Galicia and Leon passed away. The King must have been both courageous and practical. He stood up to the powerful Catholic Church when refused the Pope’s demand that Jews be forced to wear special badge and clothing. He was afraid that the requirement would force the Jews to leave for Muslim Granada which would have had a disastrous effect on revenue collections for his kingdom.[3]
May 30, 1382
• The Synod instructed every diocese to publish the verdict. Wheatcliff became ill and was paralized by a stroke. Two years later he died. Wheetcliff’s death did not mean an end to the movement, but Lolards were in constant risk of their lives.[4]
May 30, 1574: Henry III becomes King of France on the death of his brother, Charles IX. Henry had been serving as the King of Poland at the time of his brother’s death. He owed his selection as ruler Poland to a Jew named Solomon Ashkenazi who was an advisor to the Turkish Sultan.[5]
May 30: 1635: During what will be known as the Thirty Years War (it started in 1618 and ended in 1648) the Peace of Prague is signed marking the start of the end of hostilities. The war will finally end with the Peace of Westphalia. The war was between pitted Protestants against Catholics with Jews caught in the middle For example the Jews of Vienna suffered as a result of the occupation of the city by Imperial soldiers in 1624 when Emperor Ferdinand II confined the Jews to a ghetto. The fighting centered around Germany, Austria, France and the Netherlands and throughout many towns in Germany and Moravia, the Jewish population was expelled, which resulted in thousands of refugees fleeing to Cracow and other Polish cities. These Jews would get caught up in the uprisings that took place in Polish dominated Ukraine. The good news is that the end of the Thirty Years War would mark the rise of a flourishing Protestant Netherlands that would prove a home to European Jews.[6]
May 30, 1762: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in Emden, Prussia.[7]
May 30th, 1775
Early in the morning the women, went out to milk, guarded by most of the garrison; and before they were aware of impending danger, the concealed Indians opened a general fire, which killed three of the men, and drove the others, hastily within the fort.[8]
May 30, 1776
At the time of the outbreak of the American War of Independence Waldeck had nearly a century-old tradition of hiring mercenary troops. In contrast to the Kassel contract for troops, the Waldeck document contained a
paragraph establishing reimbursement of the ruler of Waldeck for every soldier killed or wounded in action. Lord Cambden, a speaker for the King's loyal opposition
alluded to this blood money in a debate in the House of Lords. "The whole is a mere mercenary bargain for the hire of troops on one side, and for the sale of human
blood on the other; and... the devoted wretches thus purchased for slaughter are mere mercenaries in the worst sense of the word." 1)
A decree of 1755 had ordered conscription procedures in Waldeck which allowed only university students exemption from service, but in 1776, the ruler of Waldeck attached
great importance to sending only volunteers to America. At the beginning of the War of Independence two Waldeck regiments were stationed in Holland. A part of the
officers and men transferred to the newly-formed Third English-Waldeck Mercenary Regiment. Nevertheless it was difficult to acquire recruits in the time allotted. Even the poor of Waldeck were not especially anxious to subject themselves to the American adventure. Therefore recruitment abroad, i.e., in other German territories, was required to hire the necessary troops. Instead of a bounty, recruits were offered a daily cash payment. The regiment arrived at the port of Bremerlehe in May 30, 1776 with a two-week delay. Therefore the Second Division could not set sail for America until June 2.[9]
Even as the Hessian riflemen were arriving in America, the British authorized the deployment of five riflemen to each company, arming them with short barreled rifles similar to those carried by the Jaegers. Additionally, one company of each regimen’s 10 was designated a “light company” of skirmishers and scouts, and these troops, too, oftren included riflemen. The British employed small numbers of riflmen in support of larger elements, rather than designating them to separate units.
There were exceptions, the most notable being the Corps of Riflemen led by Capt. Patrick Ferguson. A world-class marksman considered the finest rifle shot in the British Army, Ferguson also was the inventive genius who designed the world’s first breech-loaded military rifle, which could fire an astounding six aimed shots per minute. When he demonstrated his rifle for King George III in June 1776, not only did the enthusiastic monarch order it into production, but he authorized Ferguson to recruit his own 100 man Corps of Riflemen to be armed with the revolutionary gun. [10]
Unfortunately for Ferguson, his commander in America, Sir William Howe, did not take well to young upstarts with pet ideas. Howe publicly welcomed the new unit and its peculiar rifle, but he sought to dispose of both. [11]
May 30, 1778: Votaire was intiated into the Lodge Les Neuf Soeurs (Lodge of the Nine Muses) in Paris, on April 7, 1778, less than two monthys before his death on May 30th. He was very weak, and was assisted by two brothers, one of whom was Benjamin Franklin. Because of his frail health, he was exempted from the more rigorous tests experienced during the French rite of initiation. Voltaire was given a gift apron worn by the philosopher Claude Adrien Helvetius, one of the founders of the The lodge of the Nine Muses, who died in 1771.[12]
May 30, 1779
On May 3oth, the fleet sailed up the Hudson, and anchoring off the Phillips house, disembarked the troops for the expedition, making a force of 5,000 men — of which the German contingent included the Guards, the Grenadier battalion of v. Linsingen, and 400 Hessian and Rhenish Yãgers. The Prince Charles regiment had come with the fleet from the south. Although it counted 70 sail, large and small, and 140 flatboats, there was hardly standing room on deck.[13]
May 30, 1779
…I heard assembly blown in the Jager Corps. I hurried back as quickly as possible and found that Major Prueschenck, Captain Lorey, and I, each with one hundred men, were ordered to march immediately to Philipse’s wharf. There we found all the grenadiers of the army, the light infantry, the Legion, Ferguson’s Corps, four English regiments, and Robinson’s provincials. The flatboats were boarded at once, and these troops were all embarked on the transport ships of the Mathew Corps. Eight hundred men were thrown on each ship, whereby everybody was stacked in such an unpleasant position that no one could either sit or lie down. All the horses had been sent back. We had nothing with us but what we carried on our backs, not even a bite of bread.
At daybreak on the 31st this fleet, under Commodore Sir George Collier, set sail under escort of two 64-gun ships, three frigates, and four row galleys. Aided by the flood tide and a mild east wind, the fleet passed up the Hudson River and anchored about midday at Tellar’s Point, where all the troops disembarked under General Pattison except for three English regiments and one hundred jägers under Captain Lorey, which were put ashore at Stony Point across from Tellar’s Point.
The march of the main corps, under the Commander in Chief and Major Generals Vaughan and Kospoth, took place along the bank toward Verplanck’s Point. The Americans had constructed a fort there for the protection of this passage of the river, where a battery was cut in the rocks at Stony Point. Since the work on the right bank was open, it was abandoned at once by the enemy and occupied by General Pattison toward evening, but Fort Lafayette on Verplanck’s Point was a good defensive position and garrisoned with a Carolina battalion and six 12-pounders.
General Vaughan advanced at once against the fort with two hundred jàgers, Ferguson’s Corps, and the English grenadiers to assault all the approaches, and at the same time the row galleys drew close to the fort so that they could fire upon it. Firing began immediately between the galleys and the guns of the work. The enemy work was summoned at once, but the commandant refused to surrender and declared he would resist. The army encamped so that the enemy corps under General McDougall could not attempt a rescue.
The row galleys fired upon the fort until nightfall, for it was unapproachable from the land side in front of heavy guns because of the inaccessible terrain. The jagers and Ferguson had to approach as close as possible on the land side in order to harass the garrison of the fort with rifle fire, but this could not help much since the whole fort was built of rocks and building stones.[14]
May 30 and 31, 1780
On the 30th and 31st the jãger detachment and the English and Hessian grenadiers were embarked on transport vessels in the Cooper River above the city. Today all the warships which were to protect the fleet sailed to Five Fathom Hole.[15]
May 30th, 1782
May 30th.—We march’d early this day steering N.West along this path called after Bouquet— A number of horses being lost—2 Companies were left on the ground.
A short distance from our encampment we saw a large Deer Lick, and 2 miles farther on we struck a path crossing ours in a rectangle almost. this is the strait path from Sandusky to Wheeling and crosses the Muskingham about 10 Miles from the upper Moray. Town.
“One of our pilots (Zaines) proposed striking this path in “a strait direction from the Mingoe Bottom—and the other “a path to the N.E. of us, about 8 miles from our first en“camping ground, between the 8 forks of Yellow Creek.”
Here we left Bouquet’s road & followed this Warrior’s path running N.W. towards Mohickin John’s Town, where the fort Laurens road joins it.
two days before us a party of 60 Warriors had travelled along here towards our frontiers. Of 3 horse tracks, who had kept a-head of us from the Moray. Towns to observe our motions one had followed the Warriors and 2 kept before us on the Sandusky course.—The Woods were on fire at different places. At 11 o’clock we were joined by the remaining party & grossed immediately after a Bad Defile: marching down a rocky hill, at the foot of which we had to cross a Creek & immediately again to ascend a steep rocky hill covered by an open Wood. A place formed to obstruct numbers with a handfull of Men, particularly as the Hill on the north Side commands the other, on this side the Creek.
the Country in general is level, rich, well timbered and intersected by a great many runs, who are accompanied by excellent Bottoms.
In the evening we entered a Bottom several miles long, watered by different winding runs & terminated by Kill Buck’s Creek. We crossed it about Miles [sic] from Kill Buck’s former town & encamped along it at the upper end of the Bottom. the north Banks of this Water were so steep & miry that we were baffled in several places in our attenipts to get out of the Creek. the easiest ford is in a curve of the Creek to your Right hand as the common path leads, and then you are obliged to go a piece in the Water up the Creek.
I calculate this day’s march at near 20 miles. We passed several encampments of this party of Warriors going to our frontiers, who probably proceeded but slow, and detained hunting. It would have been necessary to have sent a runner back to apprize our frontiers of this impending danger. the letters were wrote & we could but get one Man willing to undertake carrying them; on condition, another one would accompany him. But as no other could be found, the matter fell through.[16]
X.— MOORE TO IRVINE.
IN Council,, PHILADELPHIA, ,May 30, 1782.
Sir:—Your favors of the 2d, 3d and 9th of the present month, with the representations made by Colonel Williamson[17] and Colonel Marshel,[18] have been read in council and shall be immediately laid before congress[19] as a matter of high importance to the reputation of this state, and to the generl interest and honor of the United States. We request that you will continue your inquiries on this subject and transmit us such information from time to time as may come to’your knowledge tending to elucidate this dark transaction.[20]
The proposed immigration appears to be a dangerous measure; and if the circumstances which you mention respecting Mr. J— can be ascertained, he ought to be secured as a British emissary employed to inveigle away our citizens and place them in a situation whicli must compel them to put themselves under the protection of the British as the only means by which they can be secured from the ravages of the Indians. Such an event would afford a plausible story, which the British would seize with avidity and represent at every court in Europe as an instance of submission to them on the part of America; a story which might be extremely injurious to America, and such as no man who has a due regard to his country would give a countenance to by any act of his.
The recruiting service is of so much importance that we cannot forbear to inquire anxiously what success you have in it and to request you will transmit to us a return of the recruits you have obtained as early as possible.
As to the expedition you mentioned, we can only say, we confide in your zeal and prudence to direct the force which may be in your power in the most effectual manner for covering the frontiers.1A

…But to attend to your letters, in answer to which I say I do not recollect where I first saw Col. Oldham but am confident he did not belong to our (Capt. Stephensons) company but that Conway Oldham his brother did belong to it, viz. Capt. Hugh Stephensons firs company of riflemen, Stephenson was I think the oldes or first Capt in the revolution Daniel Morgan near the same time marched a company from Frederick County to Cambridge near by Boston, from thence he went to quebeck I think he departed from near Cambridge College about the first of July 1775. I remain’d in Stephensons company at Roxbury near Boston at the siege in sight of the enemy about nine months. Thence in the Spring 76 marched to New York Staten Island &c. I was intimately acquainted with Colonel Wm. Oldham on St. Clairs campaign but was not with him when he fell.[22]

[8] Those who went out early in the morning to milk the cows, were Mrs. Ann Logan, Mrs. Whitley, and a negro woman. They were guarded only by William Hudson, Burr Harrison, John Kennedy, and James Craig. The women and Craig escaped into the fort unharmed; Kennedy, with four balls in his bodey, contrived alto to escape; Hudson was killed outright, and Harrison fell wounded. He was supposed by friend and foe to have been killed. The story of his final rescue by Logan, is related by Withers below. As told to Dr. Draper, by Capt. Benjamin Biggs, and as recorded in Whitleys MS. Narrative, in possession of the Wisconsin Historical Society, the story in Withers in substantially correct. It is said that Logan rolled a bag of wool before him, and thus approached Harrison under cover; then making a rush towards the latter, he picked him up in his arms and dashed successfully into the fort. These accounts make no mention of Martin’s intervention. Harrison died of his wounds, June 13.

[25] “We were called bushwhackers, as a term of reproach, simply because our attacks were generally surprises, and we had to make up by celerity for lack of numbers. Now I never resented the epithet of “bushwacker” although there was no soldier to whom it applied less, because bushwhacking is a legitimate form of war, and it is just as fair and equally heroic to fire at an enemy from behind a bush as a breastwork or from the casemate of a fort.” Memoirs of Colonel John S.

[26] The Twenty-fourth Iowa had a skirmish with the enemy while engaged in a reconnoitering expedition from Morganza, in which Captain B.

The losses of the regiment while connected with the troops commanded by General Banks had reached the aggregate number of 48, and the results accomplished, during that period of its service, were not only not commensurate with the loss, but the officers and men of the regiment were fully justified in the opinion that the sacrifice had been in vain, and they were rejoiced to know that a change for the better was in prospect.

From the Editor,
This year more than ever I have been criticized for my writings of Jewish ancestry, history, and current events. It has been said that all this Jewish stuff has no place in the Goodlove family history. I think that people still can’t accept our DNA evidence that we are of Jewish Ancestry.
My question is this, Why is is not acceptable for me to write about our Jewish ancestry, while it is acceptable for me to write about our ancestors who bought and sold slaves, were members of the KKK, killed innocent native American innocent and children, stole land from the Native Americans and were involved in a myriad of unacceptable activities? Why is it uncomfortable for people to read about the Holocaust but not uncomfortable for people to read about their ancestors who owned slaves?
Perhaps it is because we worry about what other people think of us and to have Jewish ancestry just doesn’t fit into our current image that we want others to see. But in reality people don’t care about whether you have Jewish ancestry or not. They probably think more about your family owning slaves, and killing native Americans.
This Memorial Day weekend take time to pay respect to those who paid the price for the freedom that you have today. Democracy is fragile and while we enjoy our freedom know that only a few hundred years ago I would have burned for what I write today.
Pray for those who are still in harm’s way around the world and for those whose lives were cut short fighting for liberty. Jeff Goodlove

Dear Jeff,
Mike Evans and Benjamin Netanyahu
I've been in Washington D.C. for the past few days to defend Israel and give you a "behind the scenes" look at what's going on and to tell you the truth no one else will. It is no coincidence that after his speech to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), President Obama left Sunday for Europe to attend the G8 summit in Deauville, France. The leaders there will be focusing on how the world's top economies can help countries in the Middle East and North Africa that are going through democratic transition.
Mr. Obama is also very well aware that these same countries in the EU have the power to hurt the economy of Israel through the use of tariffs and trade if Israel refuses to play ball. The Quartet, made up of the EU, the U.S., the UN, and Russia, issued a statement last Friday lauding Obama's template which includes a call for negotiations to be held based on the 1967 borders and mutually agreed land swaps.
"The members of the Quartet are in full agreement about the urgent need to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians," read the statement released by the group. "To that effect, the Quartet expresses its strong support for the vision of Israeli/Palestinian peace outlined by U.S. President Barack Obama."
The Europeans see this as crucial because they are the one bloc of countries most in play at the UN. They would lend moral and political authority to a non-binding General Assembly resolution declaring statehood if they supported it. The road to Jerusalem does indeed run through Belgium, but it also runs through Vienna, where OPEC will meet on June 8 to review oil production allocations.
A nightmare scenario is unfolding; however, that may further strain the world's economy. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's fanatical president, has anointed himself "oil minister." That would be but a passing blip on OPEC's radar screen if it were not for the fact that Iran holds the rotating presidency of OPEC at this crucial moment. Ahmadinejad will thus arrive in Vienna with all the pomp and ceremony he can create "setting the stage for a highly politicized gathering of the cartel," according to the Financial Times.
The outcome could well be higher oil prices for Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the other members of OPEC. Hand-wringing at the rise of the cost of a barrel of oil aside, the members of the cartel would have a perfect scapegoat—the ever mercurial Mr. Ahmadinejad. Sadly, many world leaders would shake their heads in helplessness and acquiesce to another form of blackmail.
Mr. Obama's appeasement card will force the Israelis to once again pay the price for Arab rage and European spinelessness by the shedding of Jewish blood. In his speech to AIPAC on Sunday, the president said, "It is the right and responsibility of the Israeli government to make the hard choices that are necessary to protect a Jewish and democratic state for which so many generations have sacrificed."
For Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish people, the "hard choice" may not be in bowing to President Obama's pressure, but in withstanding it, and doing what is right for the people of Israel. Choosing to sail on alone in a sea of hatred and revulsion would perhaps be the hardest choice of all. It would take courage, fortitude, wisdom, and leadership unknown to those who blithely excel in telling Israel what to do.

Online commentary: Terror threat remains in Israel
by Shahar Arieli,
Shahar Arieli is deputy consul general of Israel to the midwest.
Americans, Israelis and much of the rest of the world welcomed the demise of Osama bin Laden, as a resounding victory for justice, freedom and the common values of all democracies.
However, there are those who mourn his death.
“We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior… may he take his rightful place together with the Martyrs and the Righteous” declared Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas.
The threat of terrorism is not over. In fact, in the Middle East we see terrorism evolving into a new, more sophisticated form in which terrorist organizations are taking their presence to the next level – the political playing field.
Terrorist groups like the Palestinian Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah, are striving to become significant political players while continuing to use “Jihad” - violence and terrorism in order to promote radicalism, fundamentalism and hate.
We can see this course of action being played out with the agreement to create a unity government that was signed between the two Palestinian rivaling factions Hamas and Fatah. Through this agreement, Hamas is trying to gain international legitimacy and at the same time continue to be engaged in terrorism by deliberately targeting Israeli innocent civilians.
And sadly, it works. We are already starting to hear naïve voices calling for Israel to negotiate with this new Palestinian unity government which, in fact, is nothing but a mask for Hamas terrorists. Hamas would control this government while remaining committed to the destruction of the state of Israel. This objective is stipulated in the Hamas charter which remains, of course, unchanged.
Such is the case in Lebanon where the terror group, Hezbollah, evolved into a strong political party. Hezbollah now holds the keys to the Lebanese government while at the same time it maintains its powerful terror-military infrastructure.
This infrastructure is in fact, stronger than the army of Lebanon and that allows Hezbollah to be the de facto ruler of the country. Like it or not, under the Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah, Lebanon is turning into an outpost of a radical, fundamentalist Iranian regime which strives to export the radical, fundamentalist values of the Iranian revolution all over the Middle East and beyond.
This course of action brings terrorism to a higher, much more dangerous level – that is, if it succeeds to manipulate the international community into believing that these terrorists should be treated as legitimate political movements and as such, can continue to get away with their terrorist activity.
You cannot be considered a legitimate political party if you are engaged in terrorism. Terrorism and legitimacy are a contraction in terms and cannot co-exist. The international community should not fall into this trap.
Israel is an outpost of democracy and Western values in the Middle East. Unfortunately, we are the first to experience and to suffer from this “second phase” of terrorism. But if the international community will not become aware of these political –terrorist maneuvers, we fear that Israel won’t be the last.
This Day…
May 29, 363: A good day for the Romans and bad day for the Jews. Roman Emperor Julian defeats the Sassanid army in the Battle of Ctesiphon, under the walls of the Sassanid capital, but is impossible to conquer it. But Julian is killed at the end of the battle, some claiming that he was assassinated by a Christian Arab. Julian was the nephew and successor of Constantine. Julian repealed his Uncle’s pro-Christian promulgations allowing the old pagan cults to reappear. This earned him the title Julian the Apostate. Julian also repealed the special taxes that had been levied on the Jews. He announced that the Jews would be allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. Jews actually built a synagogue near the Temple Mount in anticipation of the rebuilding of the Temple. Unfortunately, the favorable treatment of the Jews died with Julian’s demise. Rome returned to path of Constantine and the Jews returned to the road of exile and expulsion.[1]
364-378 A.D. The task of finding water for Constantinople came to a new Roman ruler named Valens 328-378 who ruled from 364-378. He carried out an audacious plan to create an aqueduct that was the largest in the world. It would transport spring water a staggering four hundred miles. It was longer than all other Roman earlier aqueducts combined. Byzantine Mason’s adorned their bridges with religious carvings. Unlike the Romans, the Byzantines selected Christian, not Pagan, symbols. [2]
May 29, 1096: The Jews of Bacharach, Germany, were massacred by the Crusaders.[3]
May 29, 1108: The forces of the Muslim Almoravids under Tamim ibn-Yusuf defeated the Christian forces of Castile and León under Alfonso VI at the Battle of Uclésv. The battle was a disaster for the Christians who lost 30,000 men including seven high-ranking nobles and the heir-apparent, Sancho Alfónsez. The Muslims were not able to capitalize on the victory and conquer the city of Toledo. The Christians of Toledo “celebrated” their deliverance by murderously attacking the Jews and burning their homes and synagogues. Alfonso died before he could punish the murderers. Following his death, the people of Carrion followed the example of their co-religionists in Toledo and attacked the Jews in an orgy of murderous pillaging.[4]
•
1111: “In the beginning of his reign, Alfonso VII (1111) curtailed the rights and /liberties that his father granted the Jews. He ordered that neither a Jew nor a convert may exercise legal authority over Christians, and his held the Jews responsible for the collection of the royal taxes. [5]
May 29, 1167: A Roman army supporting Pope Alexander III is defeated at the Battle of Monte Porzio by the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the local princes of Tusculum and Albano. Jehiel Anav reportedly “supervised the finances of Pope Alexander.” Jeheil Anva would appear to be one in the same with Jehiel ben Jekutheil Anav who is believed to be the author of Tanya Rabbati which discusses Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays. He was related to the Italian born scholar and linguist Nathan ben Jehiel. Frederick Barbarossa would be one of the three kings to lead the Third Crusades. Unlike other Crusaders, the German Barbarossa was protective of his Jewish subjects causing “a Jewish chronicler, Ephraim be-Jacob of Bonna to write ‘Frederick defended us with all his might and enabled us to live among our enemies, so that no harmed the Jews.’”[6]
May 29, 1453
The Muslim ruler, Mec Mec II conquered Constantinople.[7] Tuesday, May 29, the city of Constantine had become Muslim, and the Church of St. Sophia, for almost a thousand years the largest, most celebrated church in Christendom, after proper “purification,” was transformed into a mosque. All its Christian symbols were removed, and its mosaics were whitewashed into oblivion for five hundred years.[8]
May 29, 1554: After an appeal by Jews in Catholic countries, Pope Julius III agreed only to allow the burring of the Talmud but not "harmless rabbinical writings."[9]
1555 Jews expelled from Pesaro.[10]

Henry VIII was the father of three children by three children by three different wives. His first wife Catherine of Aragon was the mother of Mary, while his second wife, Anne Boleyn, was the mother of Elizabeth. Finally, Henry’s third wife, Jane Seymour, gave him the son who would be heir to the throne. When Henry VIII died in 1547, Edward became king at the age of nine. Protestantism again flourished during Edward VI’s brief six year reign, and the open Bible came once again into favor. But when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 15, an intense, short period of turmoil ensued. Protestants and Roman Catholics vied to place their candidate on the vacated throne. Protestants ignored Henry VIII’s two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, and chose to crown Lady Jane Grey, a niece of Henry, as the new queen. After reigning only nine days, she was arrested and beheaded by Catholic supporters of Mary who arose as an army and seized the throne for their chosen candidate.[11]
May 29, 1658: The Massachusetts General Court bans the holding of Quaker meetings in the colony.[12]
May 29, 1686: Jews of New Amsterdam were allowed to openly practice their religion.[13]

In 1686, Andrew1 Harrison purchased from the junior John Prosser 130 acres of land on Golden Vale Creek, adjacent to John Haslewood. Consideration for the deed was 3,000 pounds of "good sound Arenoco Tobb. in Caske," and cancellation of a debt for an additional 20,000 pou[14]nds of tobacco.[15]

“In 1686, Ludlow’s land was sold to Major Lawrence Smith, of Gloucester County, Virginia. This gentleman was of great consequence in his day. The Temple farm, on which the surrender of Cornwallis was made in 1781, was sold
to Major Smith in 1686. He was recommended by the governor, to sit in the King's Council but died at about 43 years of age before taking his seat.[16]

He (Lawrence Smith) was surveyor for the counties of Gloucester and York in 1686,[17]

Wednesday May 29, 1754
The twenty-one French prisoners are sent back to Williamsburg along with news of this first victory for the Virginia Regiment. However, worried that the French might attack in retaliation to the previous day's skirmish, Washington and his men spend the next five days constructing a stockade in the middle of the valley. His theory is that anyone coming to attack his men will have to come into the open meadow of the valley and then can be shot.[20]
May 29, 1754
Lieutenant Colonel George Washington’s inexperience in military tactics had become increasingly clear in the days following the victory over Jumonville. His first hope had been that the triumph would have impressed the Indians to such extent that warriors would flock to his camp in large numbers to become part of his force, but what followed was a disappointment.
Chief Monakaduto, it was true, showed up with his thirty warriors and promised to stand beside the young English commander, and even the Seneca squaw-chief known as Queen Alequippa came with her small following and vowed allegiance with him, but they were pitiful returns for such a single victory. Including the families they brought with them, the Indians numbered only one hundred fifty. Further, it meant that Washington, despite his own meager supplies, must now feed an additional hundred fifty people for the dubious advantage of having about forty warriors added to his force. No one knew better than Washington himself that now he was in trouble. With a hundred fifty inexperienced soldiers and this handful of Indians, he was facing a French force which numbered, at Fort Duquesn alone, over fourteen hundred soldiers and possibly seven hundred Indians.
The fortification built on the Great Meadows was a poor effort. It was completed in three days and yielded little real protection, but this did not keep Washington from confidently reporting that it could easily withstand the attack of an army of five hundred. He was just whistling in the dark.
His one great hope now was that Colonel Joshua Fry would soon arrive from Will’s Creek with the remainder of the Virginia Regiment. Immediately after the attack on Jumonville’s force, he had put the prisoners under strong guard and sent dispatches to Fry with urgent requests that he come soon, never doubting that he would, since Will’s Creek was only fifty-two miles away. But Joshua Fry had been thrown from his horse and suffered very serious internal injuries and his army was stalled in their camp at the Ohio Company’s trading post stronghold.
Then, on May 29, Fry had died of his injuries and this meant that George Washington — even though he did not yet know it was commander of the whole army. Christopher Gist gave the commander of the regulars, Captain Mackay, instructions to follow him and set out at once to join Washington and tell him this news. Mackay, justifiably irked that he must now be subordinate to a commander who was only twenty-two and without military experience, moved his men almost leisurely toward the Great Meadows.[21]
May 29th, 1778
A reference on May 29, 1778 by Regimental Quartermaster Zinn in the regimental journal of the von Donop Regiment may have resulted from a rumor of a move by the Convention prisoners. Under that date he wrote, “When the news arrived that the enemy was moving the captives of General Burgoyne’s army to Virginia, and that they were already underway in the near vicinity, the entire garrison, including our regiment, received march orders. We marched to Germantown and occupied that region in the hope of attacking the enemy. However, on the same day we marched back to Philadelphia.”
Actually the prisoners began their march from the Boston area on 9 November, and the HesseCassel Jaeger Corps Journal notes the Convention prisoners crossing the North River on 29 November. “Upon receipt of news that the prisoners from Burgoyne’s army were to be transported from New England to Virginia, and would cross the North River at King’s Ferry, the British Grenadiers, Light Infantry, and the Mirbach Regiment marched to Tarrytown, but arrived too late; the men being transferred having crossed the North River ten hours previously. The reason these troops are being sent to Virginia is supposedly because the New Englanders reibsed to continue giving them provisions.”[22]

May 29th.—From the upper Moray. Town we took up our Line of march in four Columns agreeable to the first plan proposed and kept an easterly course to the mouth of a Creek which empties into Musk. Riv. the fording of the Creek was deep & muddy & we passed near it a dangerous Defile with the River on our right & a high Ridge on our Left. the passage very narrow. We marched from here N.W. through a Bottom for several miles, ascended the long Ridge ajimost N. & struck upon Bouquet’s Road to White Woman’s Creek, where he treated with the Indians W.B.S. We were led to this path by following a fresh indian track coming down.
In the middle of the afternoon we came to a fork of the Roads. We followed this path to our right running W. In these forks stood a painted Tree, on which an Indian of the Wolf Tribe marck’d [sic] 1 prisoner & 3 Scalps. Signs of an old indian encampment & several fresh tracks were visible. In the evening the mountains begun to look less high, fine Bottoms appeared more frequent and the tops of the Ridges seemed covered with a rich soil. We crossed this day different bad narrow Swamps.[23]
ORDERS GIVEN ON AN EXPEDITION OF VOLUNTEERS TO SANDUSKY, 1782.
May 29th, 1782 CAMP UPPER MORAVIAN TOWN N° 4
Orders May 29th 1782— Every Captain is to assign an alarm post to his company 20 or 30 yards within side of his fires; to which the company is to repair every morning before day Break—the horses are in future carefully to be kept in, by the Sentries. Col. W. Harrison is appointed Adjutant to the party & to be respected as such the whole to march immediately in 4 Columns. the playing of the fife the first time, will be a signal for loading: the second time to begin the line of march. [24]
Marshel to Irvine, May 29, 1782.)
A volunteer expedition is talked of against Sandusky, which, if well conducted, may be of great service to this country. If they behave well on this occasion, it may also, in some measure, atone for the barbarity they are charged with at Muskingum.[25] They have consulted me and shall have every countenance in my power, if their numbers, arrangements, etc., promise a prospect of success.
Another kind of expedition is also much talked of, which is to emigrate and set up a new state. This matter is carried so far as to advertise a day of general rendezvous (the 25th instant). A certain Mr. J[26]— is said to be at the head of this party. He has a form of constitution actually written by him-self for the new government. I am well informed he is now on the east side of the mountain trying to purchase or otherwise provide artillery and stores. A number of people, I really believe, have serious thoughts of this matter; but I am led to think they will not be able, at this time, to put their plan into execution.
Should they be so mad as to attempt it, I think they will either be cut to pieces or they will be obliged to take protection from and join the British. Perhaps some have this in view; though a great majority are, I think, well meaning people, who have at present no other views than to acquire large tracts of land.
As I thought a knowledge of these intentions might be useful to the executives of Pennsylvania and Virginia, the emigrants being now subjects of both states, I have written to tho I governor of Virginia on the subject also.[27]
Mr. J— has been in England since the commencement of the present war. Some people think he is too trifling to’be worthy of notice. Be this as it may, he has now many followers; and it is, I think, highly probable that more influence than he are privately at work. J—, it is said, was once in affluent circumstances — is now indigent was always open to corruption. I have no personal knowledge of the man; and have this character of him in too general terms to be able to assert it is genuine.
No considerable damage has been done by the savages since my arrival here last. The whole of killed and captured that I have any account of amounts only to six souls. I think they must be either preparing for a great stroke or.apprehensive of a visit from us.[28][29]

Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform you that on Saturday last, about five hundred men[30] (including officers) set out for Sndusky, under the command of colonel [William] Crawford. A perfect harmony subsisted among officers and men, and all were in high spirits, no accident of any consequence happening either in crossing the river or during their stay at the Mingo bottom [on the west side of the Ohio].
I have not yet ascertained with exactness the number of men from the different counties, but I believe they are nearly as follows, namely; Westmoreland,[31] about one hundred and thirty; Ohio [county],[32] about twenty; and Washington,[33] three hundred and fifty. Mr. Rose, your aid-de-camp was very hearty when I left him. His services on this occasion have endeared you much to the people of this county, and given general satisfaction to the men on the expedition.
A report prevails in the coutry that Britain has acknowledged our independence. I could wish to be informed of the truth of this report. I have been asked by a Presbyterian minister and some of his people to request you t spare opne gallon of wine for the use of a sacrament. If it is in your power to supply them with this article, I make no doubt you will do it, as it cannot be obtained in any other place in this country. Mr. Douglass or the bearer will apply for it.[34][35]

May 29, 1790: Rhode Island becomes the thirteenth state to ratify the Constitution[37] and is admitted as the 13th U.S. state. According to Rufus Learsi, at the outbreak of the American Revolution Rhode Island was one of only five the original thirteen colonies to have had an organized Jewish community. Newport reportedly had 1,200 Jewish habits, half the Jews living in all of the thirteen colonies at that time. Congregation Jeshuat Israel (Salvation of Israel) had erected its own synagogue and Rabbi Isaac Touro was so well known that he was visited by rabbis from Europe and Eretz Israel including Raphael Cahim Isaac Corregal from Hebron who formed a lasting friendship with Pastor Ezra Stiles, President of Yale. Newport may be best remembered for the famous letter that President Washington wrote to the Jews of Newport in 1790 in which he endorsed the full participation of the Jewish people in all aspects of American life. Unfortunately, the Newport Jewish community had already lost its dominant role. The British occupation during the American Revolution had marked the beginning of the end of the commercial primacy of Newport and many of the Jews who had fled during the occupation simply did not return. The loss of prominence of the Jewish community is highlighted by the fact that the state of Rhode Island did not get around to removing religious tests for office until 1842.[38]

Hi Jeff,
I have seen that picture...and I believe it is Robt. Lindsay. Here is his web site http://doclindsay.com/index.html
He and I descend from the same David Jr. Lindsay. If you find the book...let me know the name so I can find it somewhere (if available). It's a shame we can't find a connection between our Lindsay / Moore line. I would assume that if they were buried in the same cemetery...there has to be a connection somewhere. Does the name Mary Fleming ring a bell?
Thank you for all data. Are there any Lindsay tombstone pics from the cemetery? Let me know...
Rebecca
Rebecca, I was on the website you sent this morning and I thank you for passing this information on. There is quite a bit of common territory between our families, because between the families they were friends, acquaintances, soldiers, land owners, various business dealings not to mention they were in court together a few times as well. Still I can't find the family connection as of yet but next week I am going after the book I believe was written by Torrence, at the Newberry Library. I think it mentions a Crawford/Lindsay connection. Also, an individual that you should be in contact with who is a descendant of Thomas Moore is John Moreland and his email is…. I have ccd him on this email. He is interested in the preservation of the Lindsay/Moore cemetery as well and between all of the interested parties I hope that something can be done to bring this endeavor to reality as it relates to the well being of this cemetery. Please contact him at your liesure as he is interested in chatting with you about this. My parents did not take any pictures of Lindsay tombstones unfortunately but I will keep a look out. I hope you are well and look forward to hearing from you soon. Jeff Goodlove
I have according to my records that Benjamin McKinnon was born in Harrison County, KY. I hope this, while not the Fleming you are looking for, perhaps is of some help. Jeff

Birth: ABT 1790
Death: ABT 1850 in Logan Co., Oh.,
Note:
! Compiled by Karen S. Garnett, 2500 Huston Ct., Morgan Hill,
Ca. 95037: "Little is known of Benjamin. But he was apparently
born ca 1790 therefore must have been a son of Daniel McKinnon,
Sr. and Nancy Harrison McKinnon. He appears to be present in
his parents household n 1820, and along with Uriah and Josiah
being 16-25 then. In 1830 he is perhaps still with his parents.
In 1840 he has his own household, apparently with his wife,
possibly his second, Maria Fleming who he mar. Apr. 19, 1838 in
Clark Co., Oh. He must have then moved with the family to Logan
Co. in 1839. There is an old newspaper account of a Sheriff's
sale of the property of Benjamin McKinnon. Might be worth
checking into, it is dated 3 Mar., 1838. The following is a
reconstruction of Benjamin's family: Benjamin mar., apparently
out of Clark Co. or before 1816 (as no record was found in Clark
Co.) for the first time. It is unclear when the first wife
died, but probably by 1830 since Banjamin seems to be living
with his parents and ch. His ch. by his first wife most likely
include: dau. b. ca 1810-15; dau., b ca 1815-1820; son b. ca
1815-1820; son Daniel, b. 1832 in Oh. This ch. doesn't really
seem to fit in anywhere, but he does appear in the household of
Benjamin in 1840 and in Maria's household in 1850, so he must be
a son of Benjamin's. We also have a Daniel F., b. 12 Oct., 1831
to Josiah. The date matches nicely, but it seems too confusing
to sort at present." Clark Co. Mar. Rec.: Apr., 1838 -- John B.

[25] That any of~those favoring the scheme had intentions of taking protection from, and joining the British, is possible but very doubtful; that some engaged in the movement were stimulated by prospects of preferment, is probable; but that a great majority had, as Irvine expresses it, “no other views than to acquire large tracts of land,” or, perhaps, of obtaining cheap lands, is quite certain.

[27] The expedition here spoken of is the one which marched against Sandusky under Col. Wm. Crawford. It has been supposei by some, owing to the loose wording of the paragraph, that the same men who took part in Williamson’s expedition were also those who afterward marched against San-dusky; but Williamson’s men, as we have seen, numbered only about one hundred who crossed the Ohio, and were exclusively of Washington county militia (ante, p.236, note 1); while the volunteers against Sandusky numbered four hundred and sixty-eight and were from Washington and Westmorelan& counties, Pennsylvania, and from Ohio county, Virginia. (See Appendix J,—:
[28] There is another copy, evidently the first draft of this letter, extant, in the handwriting of Irvine, which is differently arranged and somewhat differently worded from the above.

[30] The number which actually marched was four hundred and sixty-eight, but a few of these returned before reaching the Tuscarawas.
[31]Mostly from that part which afterward became Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
[32] Ohio county, Virginia, included, at this date, the whole of the territory now in West Virginia known as “the Pan-handle,” and a considerable area to the south of it.
[33] Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1782, was bounded north by the Ohio river, east by the Monongahela, south and west by Virginia. All of Pennsylvania west of the Laurel Hill not included within those boundaries constituted Westmoreland county, at that date; but Fayette county was formed from the latter the next year.

From the Editor,
This year more than ever I have been criticized for my writings of Jewish ancestry, history, and current events. It has been said that all this Jewish stuff has no place in the Goodlove family history. I think that people still can’t accept our DNA evidence that we are of Jewish Ancestry.
My question is this, Why is is not acceptable for me to write about our Jewish ancestry, while it is acceptable for me to write about our ancestors who bought and sold slaves, were members of the KKK, killed innocent native American innocent and children, stole land from the Native Americans and were involved in a myriad of unacceptable activities? Why is it uncomfortable for people to read about the Holocaust but not uncomfortable for people to read about their ancestors who owned slaves?
Perhaps it is because we worry about what other people think of us and to have Jewish ancestry just doesn’t fit into our current image that we want others to see. But in reality people don’t care about whether you have Jewish ancestry or not. They probably think more about your family owning slaves, and killing native Americans.
This Memorial Day weekend take time to pay respect to those who paid the price for the freedom that you have today. Democracy is fragile and while we enjoy our freedom know that only a few hundred years ago I would have burned for what I write today.
Pray for those who are still in harm’s way around the world and for those whose lives were cut short fighting for liberty. Jeff Goodlove

Dear Jeff,
Mike Evans and Benjamin Netanyahu
I've been in Washington D.C. for the past few days to defend Israel and give you a "behind the scenes" look at what's going on and to tell you the truth no one else will. It is no coincidence that after his speech to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), President Obama left Sunday for Europe to attend the G8 summit in Deauville, France. The leaders there will be focusing on how the world's top economies can help countries in the Middle East and North Africa that are going through democratic transition.
Mr. Obama is also very well aware that these same countries in the EU have the power to hurt the economy of Israel through the use of tariffs and trade if Israel refuses to play ball. The Quartet, made up of the EU, the U.S., the UN, and Russia, issued a statement last Friday lauding Obama's template which includes a call for negotiations to be held based on the 1967 borders and mutually agreed land swaps.
"The members of the Quartet are in full agreement about the urgent need to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians," read the statement released by the group. "To that effect, the Quartet expresses its strong support for the vision of Israeli/Palestinian peace outlined by U.S. President Barack Obama."
The Europeans see this as crucial because they are the one bloc of countries most in play at the UN. They would lend moral and political authority to a non-binding General Assembly resolution declaring statehood if they supported it. The road to Jerusalem does indeed run through Belgium, but it also runs through Vienna, where OPEC will meet on June 8 to review oil production allocations.
A nightmare scenario is unfolding; however, that may further strain the world's economy. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's fanatical president, has anointed himself "oil minister." That would be but a passing blip on OPEC's radar screen if it were not for the fact that Iran holds the rotating presidency of OPEC at this crucial moment. Ahmadinejad will thus arrive in Vienna with all the pomp and ceremony he can create "setting the stage for a highly politicized gathering of the cartel," according to the Financial Times.
The outcome could well be higher oil prices for Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the other members of OPEC. Hand-wringing at the rise of the cost of a barrel of oil aside, the members of the cartel would have a perfect scapegoat—the ever mercurial Mr. Ahmadinejad. Sadly, many world leaders would shake their heads in helplessness and acquiesce to another form of blackmail.
Mr. Obama's appeasement card will force the Israelis to once again pay the price for Arab rage and European spinelessness by the shedding of Jewish blood. In his speech to AIPAC on Sunday, the president said, "It is the right and responsibility of the Israeli government to make the hard choices that are necessary to protect a Jewish and democratic state for which so many generations have sacrificed."
For Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish people, the "hard choice" may not be in bowing to President Obama's pressure, but in withstanding it, and doing what is right for the people of Israel. Choosing to sail on alone in a sea of hatred and revulsion would perhaps be the hardest choice of all. It would take courage, fortitude, wisdom, and leadership unknown to those who blithely excel in telling Israel what to do.
Barukh..ha -mevarekh et ammo Yisrael ba-shalom Blessed be He who blesses His people with Peace.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans

Online commentary: Terror threat remains in Israel
by Shahar Arieli,
Shahar Arieli is deputy consul general of Israel to the midwest.
Americans, Israelis and much of the rest of the world welcomed the demise of Osama bin Laden, as a resounding victory for justice, freedom and the common values of all democracies.
However, there are those who mourn his death.
“We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior… may he take his rightful place together with the Martyrs and the Righteous” declared Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas.
The threat of terrorism is not over. In fact, in the Middle East we see terrorism evolving into a new, more sophisticated form in which terrorist organizations are taking their presence to the next level – the political playing field.
Terrorist groups like the Palestinian Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah, are striving to become significant political players while continuing to use “Jihad” - violence and terrorism in order to promote radicalism, fundamentalism and hate.
We can see this course of action being played out with the agreement to create a unity government that was signed between the two Palestinian rivaling factions Hamas and Fatah. Through this agreement, Hamas is trying to gain international legitimacy and at the same time continue to be engaged in terrorism by deliberately targeting Israeli innocent civilians.
And sadly, it works. We are already starting to hear naïve voices calling for Israel to negotiate with this new Palestinian unity government which, in fact, is nothing but a mask for Hamas terrorists. Hamas would control this government while remaining committed to the destruction of the state of Israel. This objective is stipulated in the Hamas charter which remains, of course, unchanged.
Such is the case in Lebanon where the terror group, Hezbollah, evolved into a strong political party. Hezbollah now holds the keys to the Lebanese government while at the same time it maintains its powerful terror-military infrastructure.
This infrastructure is in fact, stronger than the army of Lebanon and that allows Hezbollah to be the de facto ruler of the country. Like it or not, under the Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah, Lebanon is turning into an outpost of a radical, fundamentalist Iranian regime which strives to export the radical, fundamentalist values of the Iranian revolution all over the Middle East and beyond.
This course of action brings terrorism to a higher, much more dangerous level – that is, if it succeeds to manipulate the international community into believing that these terrorists should be treated as legitimate political movements and as such, can continue to get away with their terrorist activity.
You cannot be considered a legitimate political party if you are engaged in terrorism. Terrorism and legitimacy are a contraction in terms and cannot co-exist. The international community should not fall into this trap.
Israel is an outpost of democracy and Western values in the Middle East. Unfortunately, we are the first to experience and to suffer from this “second phase” of terrorism. But if the international community will not become aware of these political –terrorist maneuvers, we fear that Israel won’t be the last.
This Day…
May 29, 363: A good day for the Romans and bad day for the Jews. Roman Emperor Julian defeats the Sassanid army in the Battle of Ctesiphon, under the walls of the Sassanid capital, but is impossible to conquer it. But Julian is killed at the end of the battle, some claiming that he was assassinated by a Christian Arab. Julian was the nephew and successor of Constantine. Julian repealed his Uncle’s pro-Christian promulgations allowing the old pagan cults to reappear. This earned him the title Julian the Apostate. Julian also repealed the special taxes that had been levied on the Jews. He announced that the Jews would be allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. Jews actually built a synagogue near the Temple Mount in anticipation of the rebuilding of the Temple. Unfortunately, the favorable treatment of the Jews died with Julian’s demise. Rome returned to path of Constantine and the Jews returned to the road of exile and expulsion.[1]
364-378 A.D. The task of finding water for Constantinople came to a new Roman ruler named Valens 328-378 who ruled from 364-378. He carried out an audacious plan to create an aqueduct that was the largest in the world. It would transport spring water a staggering four hundred miles. It was longer than all other Roman earlier aqueducts combined. Byzantine Mason’s adorned their bridges with religious carvings. Unlike the Romans, the Byzantines selected Christian, not Pagan, symbols. [2]
May 29, 1096: The Jews of Bacharach, Germany, were massacred by the Crusaders.[3]
May 29, 1108: The forces of the Muslim Almoravids under Tamim ibn-Yusuf defeated the Christian forces of Castile and León under Alfonso VI at the Battle of Uclésv. The battle was a disaster for the Christians who lost 30,000 men including seven high-ranking nobles and the heir-apparent, Sancho Alfónsez. The Muslims were not able to capitalize on the victory and conquer the city of Toledo. The Christians of Toledo “celebrated” their deliverance by murderously attacking the Jews and burning their homes and synagogues. Alfonso died before he could punish the murderers. Following his death, the people of Carrion followed the example of their co-religionists in Toledo and attacked the Jews in an orgy of murderous pillaging.[4]
•
1111: “In the beginning of his reign, Alfonso VII (1111) curtailed the rights and /liberties that his father granted the Jews. He ordered that neither a Jew nor a convert may exercise legal authority over Christians, and his held the Jews responsible for the collection of the royal taxes. [5]
May 29, 1167: A Roman army supporting Pope Alexander III is defeated at the Battle of Monte Porzio by the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the local princes of Tusculum and Albano. Jehiel Anav reportedly “supervised the finances of Pope Alexander.” Jeheil Anva would appear to be one in the same with Jehiel ben Jekutheil Anav who is believed to be the author of Tanya Rabbati which discusses Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays. He was related to the Italian born scholar and linguist Nathan ben Jehiel. Frederick Barbarossa would be one of the three kings to lead the Third Crusades. Unlike other Crusaders, the German Barbarossa was protective of his Jewish subjects causing “a Jewish chronicler, Ephraim be-Jacob of Bonna to write ‘Frederick defended us with all his might and enabled us to live among our enemies, so that no harmed the Jews.’”[6]
May 29, 1453
The Muslim ruler, Mec Mec II conquered Constantinople.[7] Tuesday, May 29, the city of Constantine had become Muslim, and the Church of St. Sophia, for almost a thousand years the largest, most celebrated church in Christendom, after proper “purification,” was transformed into a mosque. All its Christian symbols were removed, and its mosaics were whitewashed into oblivion for five hundred years.[8]
May 29, 1554: After an appeal by Jews in Catholic countries, Pope Julius III agreed only to allow the burring of the Talmud but not "harmless rabbinical writings."[9]
1555 Jews expelled from Pesaro.[10]
1555
Henry VIII was the father of three children by three children by three different wives. His first wife Catherine of Aragon was the mother of Mary, while his second wife, Anne Boleyn, was the mother of Elizabeth. Finally, Henry’s third wife, Jane Seymour, gave him the son who would be heir to the throne. When Henry VIII died in 1547, Edward became king at the age of nine. Protestantism again flourished during Edward VI’s brief six year reign, and the open Bible came once again into favor. But when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 15, an intense, short period of turmoil ensued. Protestants and Roman Catholics vied to place their candidate on the vacated throne. Protestants ignored Henry VIII’s two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, and chose to crown Lady Jane Grey, a niece of Henry, as the new queen. After reigning only nine days, she was arrested and beheaded by Catholic supporters of Mary who arose as an army and seized the throne for their chosen candidate.[11]
May 29, 1658: The Massachusetts General Court bans the holding of Quaker meetings in the colony.[12]
May 29, 1686: Jews of New Amsterdam were allowed to openly practice their religion.[13]
1686
In 1686, Andrew1 Harrison purchased from the junior John Prosser 130 acres of land on Golden Vale Creek, adjacent to John Haslewood. Consideration for the deed was 3,000 pounds of "good sound Arenoco Tobb. in Caske," and cancellation of a debt for an additional 20,000 pou[14]nds of tobacco.[15]

“In 1686, Ludlow’s land was sold to Major Lawrence Smith, of Gloucester County, Virginia. This gentleman was of great consequence in his day. The Temple farm, on which the surrender of Cornwallis was made in 1781, was sold
to Major Smith in 1686. He was recommended by the governor, to sit in the King's Council but died at about 43 years of age before taking his seat.[16]
1686
He (Lawrence Smith) was surveyor for the counties of Gloucester and York in 1686,[17]

Major Lawrence Smith’s services were as follows: Member of House of Burgesses from Gloucester County, Virginia, 1688-1691.[19]
Wednesday May 29, 1754
The twenty-one French prisoners are sent back to Williamsburg along with news of this first victory for the Virginia Regiment. However, worried that the French might attack in retaliation to the previous day's skirmish, Washington and his men spend the next five days constructing a stockade in the middle of the valley. His theory is that anyone coming to attack his men will have to come into the open meadow of the valley and then can be shot.[20]
May 29, 1754
Lieutenant Colonel George Washington’s inexperience in military tactics had become increasingly clear in the days following the victory over Jumonville. His first hope had been that the triumph would have impressed the Indians to such extent that warriors would flock to his camp in large numbers to become part of his force, but what followed was a disappointment.
Chief Monakaduto, it was true, showed up with his thirty warriors and promised to stand beside the young English commander, and even the Seneca squaw-chief known as Queen Alequippa came with her small following and vowed allegiance with him, but they were pitiful returns for such a single victory. Including the families they brought with them, the Indians numbered only one hundred fifty. Further, it meant that Washington, despite his own meager supplies, must now feed an additional hundred fifty people for the dubious advantage of having about forty warriors added to his force. No one knew better than Washington himself that now he was in trouble. With a hundred fifty inexperienced soldiers and this handful of Indians, he was facing a French force which numbered, at Fort Duquesn alone, over fourteen hundred soldiers and possibly seven hundred Indians.
The fortification built on the Great Meadows was a poor effort. It was completed in three days and yielded little real protection, but this did not keep Washington from confidently reporting that it could easily withstand the attack of an army of five hundred. He was just whistling in the dark.
His one great hope now was that Colonel Joshua Fry would soon arrive from Will’s Creek with the remainder of the Virginia Regiment. Immediately after the attack on Jumonville’s force, he had put the prisoners under strong guard and sent dispatches to Fry with urgent requests that he come soon, never doubting that he would, since Will’s Creek was only fifty-two miles away. But Joshua Fry had been thrown from his horse and suffered very serious internal injuries and his army was stalled in their camp at the Ohio Company’s trading post stronghold.
Then, on May 29, Fry had died of his injuries and this meant that George Washington — even though he did not yet know it was commander of the whole army. Christopher Gist gave the commander of the regulars, Captain Mackay, instructions to follow him and set out at once to join Washington and tell him this news. Mackay, justifiably irked that he must now be subordinate to a commander who was only twenty-two and without military experience, moved his men almost leisurely toward the Great Meadows.[21]
May 29th, 1778
A reference on May 29, 1778 by Regimental Quartermaster Zinn in the regimental journal of the von Donop Regiment may have resulted from a rumor of a move by the Convention prisoners. Under that date he wrote, “When the news arrived that the enemy was moving the captives of General Burgoyne’s army to Virginia, and that they were already underway in the near vicinity, the entire garrison, including our regiment, received march orders. We marched to Germantown and occupied that region in the hope of attacking the enemy. However, on the same day we marched back to Philadelphia.”
Actually the prisoners began their march from the Boston area on 9 November, and the HesseCassel Jaeger Corps Journal notes the Convention prisoners crossing the North River on 29 November. “Upon receipt of news that the prisoners from Burgoyne’s army were to be transported from New England to Virginia, and would cross the North River at King’s Ferry, the British Grenadiers, Light Infantry, and the Mirbach Regiment marched to Tarrytown, but arrived too late; the men being transferred having crossed the North River ten hours previously. The reason these troops are being sent to Virginia is supposedly because the New Englanders reibsed to continue giving them provisions.”[22]
May 29, 1779
Shawnee Chief Black Fish is allegedly killed in a raid on his village by Colonel John Bowman. (Ref 61 gives the date of the Bowman raid as May 29th, 1779 and Blackfish's death six weeks later, in mid-July).

May 29th.—From the upper Moray. Town we took up our Line of march in four Columns agreeable to the first plan proposed and kept an easterly course to the mouth of a Creek which empties into Musk. Riv. the fording of the Creek was deep & muddy & we passed near it a dangerous Defile with the River on our right & a high Ridge on our Left. the passage very narrow. We marched from here N.W. through a Bottom for several miles, ascended the long Ridge ajimost N. & struck upon Bouquet’s Road to White Woman’s Creek, where he treated with the Indians W.B.S. We were led to this path by following a fresh indian track coming down.
In the middle of the afternoon we came to a fork of the Roads. We followed this path to our right running W. In these forks stood a painted Tree, on which an Indian of the Wolf Tribe marck’d [sic] 1 prisoner & 3 Scalps. Signs of an old indian encampment & several fresh tracks were visible. In the evening the mountains begun to look less high, fine Bottoms appeared more frequent and the tops of the Ridges seemed covered with a rich soil. We crossed this day different bad narrow Swamps.[23]

A volunteer expedition is talked of against Sandusky, which, if well conducted, may be of great service to this country. If they behave well on this occasion, it may also, in some measure, atone for the barbarity they are charged with at Muskingum.[25] They have consulted me and shall have every countenance in my power, if their numbers, arrangements, etc., promise a prospect of success.
Another kind of expedition is also much talked of, which is to emigrate and set up a new state. This matter is carried so far as to advertise a day of general rendezvous (the 25th instant). A certain Mr. J[26]— is said to be at the head of this party. He has a form of constitution actually written by him-self for the new government. I am well informed he is now on the east side of the mountain trying to purchase or otherwise provide artillery and stores. A number of people, I really believe, have serious thoughts of this matter; but I am led to think they will not be able, at this time, to put their plan into execution.
Should they be so mad as to attempt it, I think they will either be cut to pieces or they will be obliged to take protection from and join the British. Perhaps some have this in view; though a great majority are, I think, well meaning people, who have at present no other views than to acquire large tracts of land.
As I thought a knowledge of these intentions might be useful to the executives of Pennsylvania and Virginia, the emigrants being now subjects of both states, I have written to tho I governor of Virginia on the subject also.[27]
Mr. J— has been in England since the commencement of the present war. Some people think he is too trifling to’be worthy of notice. Be this as it may, he has now many followers; and it is, I think, highly probable that more influence than he are privately at work. J—, it is said, was once in affluent circumstances — is now indigent was always open to corruption. I have no personal knowledge of the man; and have this character of him in too general terms to be able to assert it is genuine.
No considerable damage has been done by the savages since my arrival here last. The whole of killed and captured that I have any account of amounts only to six souls. I think they must be either preparing for a great stroke or.apprehensive of a visit from us.[28][29]

Marshel to Irvine
Washington County, May 29, 1782
Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform you that on Saturday last, about five hundred men[30] (including officers) set out for Sndusky, under the command of colonel [William] Crawford. A perfect harmony subsisted among officers and men, and all were in high spirits, no accident of any consequence happening either in crossing the river or during their stay at the Mingo bottom [on the west side of the Ohio].
I have not yet ascertained with exactness the number of men from the different counties, but I believe they are nearly as follows, namely; Westmoreland,[31] about one hundred and thirty; Ohio [county],[32] about twenty; and Washington,[33] three hundred and fifty. Mr. Rose, your aid-de-camp was very hearty when I left him. His services on this occasion have endeared you much to the people of this county, and given general satisfaction to the men on the expedition.
A report prevails in the coutry that Britain has acknowledged our independence. I could wish to be informed of the truth of this report. I have been asked by a Presbyterian minister and some of his people to request you t spare opne gallon of wine for the use of a sacrament. If it is in your power to supply them with this article, I make no doubt you will do it, as it cannot be obtained in any other place in this country. Mr. Douglass or the bearer will apply for it.[34][35]

John Crawford sold to Noble Grimes, on May 29, 1786, one negro wench named Lucy, for 32 pounds, 5 shillings, 6 pence.[36]
May 29, 1790: Rhode Island becomes the thirteenth state to ratify the Constitution[37] and is admitted as the 13th U.S. state. According to Rufus Learsi, at the outbreak of the American Revolution Rhode Island was one of only five the original thirteen colonies to have had an organized Jewish community. Newport reportedly had 1,200 Jewish habits, half the Jews living in all of the thirteen colonies at that time. Congregation Jeshuat Israel (Salvation of Israel) had erected its own synagogue and Rabbi Isaac Touro was so well known that he was visited by rabbis from Europe and Eretz Israel including Raphael Cahim Isaac Corregal from Hebron who formed a lasting friendship with Pastor Ezra Stiles, President of Yale. Newport may be best remembered for the famous letter that President Washington wrote to the Jews of Newport in 1790 in which he endorsed the full participation of the Jewish people in all aspects of American life. Unfortunately, the Newport Jewish community had already lost its dominant role. The British occupation during the American Revolution had marked the beginning of the end of the commercial primacy of Newport and many of the Jews who had fled during the occupation simply did not return. The loss of prominence of the Jewish community is highlighted by the fact that the state of Rhode Island did not get around to removing religious tests for office until 1842.[38]

German authorities in France publish regulations adopted the previous day requiring Jews in the Occupied Zone to wear a yellow star. The text of the ordinance:
I
Distinctive Insignia for Jews
1. It is forbidden for ajews of the age of six and older to appear in public without wearing the yellow star.
2. The Jewish star is a star with six points having the dimensions of the palm of a hand and black borders. It is of yellow cloth and displays, in black letters, the word “Jew.” It should be worn very visibly on the left side of the chest, firmly sewn to the garment.
II
Penalties
Infractions of the present ordinance will be punished with imprisonment and fines or one of these penalties. Police measures, such as imprisonment in a camp for Jews, may be added to substituted for these penalties.
• III
• Entry in Force
• The present ordinance will be effective June 7, 1942.
• The wearing of the yellow star was never imposed on Jews in the Unoccupied Zone, even after the Germans occupied all of France later in 1942.[43]

Hi Jeff,
I have seen that picture...and I believe it is Robt. Lindsay. Here is his web site http://doclindsay.com/index.html
He and I descend from the same David Jr. Lindsay. If you find the book...let me know the name so I can find it somewhere (if available). It's a shame we can't find a connection between our Lindsay / Moore line. I would assume that if they were buried in the same cemetery...there has to be a connection somewhere. Does the name Mary Fleming ring a bell?
Thank you for all data. Are there any Lindsay tombstone pics from the cemetery? Let me know...
Rebecca
Rebecca, I was on the website you sent this morning and I thank you for passing this information on. There is quite a bit of common territory between our families, because between the families they were friends, acquaintances, soldiers, land owners, various business dealings not to mention they were in court together a few times as well. Still I can't find the family connection as of yet but next week I am going after the book I believe was written by Torrence, at the Newberry Library. I think it mentions a Crawford/Lindsay connection. Also, an individual that you should be in contact with who is a descendant of Thomas Moore is John Moreland and his email is…. I have ccd him on this email. He is interested in the preservation of the Lindsay/Moore cemetery as well and between all of the interested parties I hope that something can be done to bring this endeavor to reality as it relates to the well being of this cemetery. Please contact him at your liesure as he is interested in chatting with you about this. My parents did not take any pictures of Lindsay tombstones unfortunately but I will keep a look out. I hope you are well and look forward to hearing from you soon. Jeff Goodlove
I have according to my records that Benjamin McKinnon was born in Harrison County, KY. I hope this, while not the Fleming you are looking for, perhaps is of some help. Jeff
ID: I3117
Name: John B. (Benjamin) MCKINNON
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 1790
Death: ABT 1850 in Logan Co., Oh.,
Note:
! Compiled by Karen S. Garnett, 2500 Huston Ct., Morgan Hill,
Ca. 95037: "Little is known of Benjamin. But he was apparently
born ca 1790 therefore must have been a son of Daniel McKinnon,
Sr. and Nancy Harrison McKinnon. He appears to be present in
his parents household n 1820, and along with Uriah and Josiah
being 16-25 then. In 1830 he is perhaps still with his parents.
In 1840 he has his own household, apparently with his wife,
possibly his second, Maria Fleming who he mar. Apr. 19, 1838 in
Clark Co., Oh. He must have then moved with the family to Logan
Co. in 1839. There is an old newspaper account of a Sheriff's
sale of the property of Benjamin McKinnon. Might be worth
checking into, it is dated 3 Mar., 1838. The following is a
reconstruction of Benjamin's family: Benjamin mar., apparently
out of Clark Co. or before 1816 (as no record was found in Clark
Co.) for the first time. It is unclear when the first wife
died, but probably by 1830 since Banjamin seems to be living
with his parents and ch. His ch. by his first wife most likely
include: dau. b. ca 1810-15; dau., b ca 1815-1820; son b. ca
1815-1820; son Daniel, b. 1832 in Oh. This ch. doesn't really
seem to fit in anywhere, but he does appear in the household of
Benjamin in 1840 and in Maria's household in 1850, so he must be
a son of Benjamin's. We also have a Daniel F., b. 12 Oct., 1831
to Josiah. The date matches nicely, but it seems too confusing
to sort at present." Clark Co. Mar. Rec.: Apr., 1838 -- John B.
(Benjamin) McKinnon mar. Maria Fleming. Note: there are
duplicate entries here. Benjamin and Maria Fleming 10 Apr.,
1838, Vol. 162, p. 262. John Banjamin and Marie Fleming on 18
Apr., 1838, Vol. 19-272 ! Bellefontaine Republican, Oct. 14,
1902: "Mr. Daniel McKinnon . . . died lst Tues. at the home of
his dau. Mrs. John Welsh, at Paris, Ill. . . brother of William
and J. B. McKInnon, dec. . . before moving to Ill. made his home
in our city. . . " One unknown source states John had two sons,
one named Daniel --HGS

[25] That any of~those favoring the scheme had intentions of taking protection from, and joining the British, is possible but very doubtful; that some engaged in the movement were stimulated by prospects of preferment, is probable; but that a great majority had, as Irvine expresses it, “no other views than to acquire large tracts of land,” or, perhaps, of obtaining cheap lands, is quite certain.

[27] The expedition here spoken of is the one which marched against Sandusky under Col. Wm. Crawford. It has been supposei by some, owing to the loose wording of the paragraph, that the same men who took part in Williamson’s expedition were also those who afterward marched against San-dusky; but Williamson’s men, as we have seen, numbered only about one hundred who crossed the Ohio, and were exclusively of Washington county militia (ante, p.236, note 1); while the volunteers against Sandusky numbered four hundred and sixty-eight and were from Washington and Westmorelan& counties, Pennsylvania, and from Ohio county, Virginia. (See Appendix J,—:
[28] There is another copy, evidently the first draft of this letter, extant, in the handwriting of Irvine, which is differently arranged and somewhat differently worded from the above.
[29] Washington-Irving Correspondence, by Butterfield.
[30] The number which actually marched was four hundred and sixty-eight, but a few of these returned before reaching the Tuscarawas.
[31]Mostly from that part which afterward became Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
[32] Ohio county, Virginia, included, at this date, the whole of the territory now in West Virginia known as “the Pan-handle,” and a considerable area to the south of it.
[33] Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1782, was bounded north by the Ohio river, east by the Monongahela, south and west by Virginia. All of Pennsylvania west of the Laurel Hill not included within those boundaries constituted Westmoreland county, at that date; but Fayette county was formed from the latter the next year.
[34] No doubt the wine was sent if the general had it to spare. He was exceedingly accommodating to the country people as well as to the citizens of Pittsburgh. His watchful care over the rights of the latter, when in the least intruded upon by the soldiery.
