Rabbi Yaakov Meir (center) with his son-in law and a Jewish kavass (bodyguard), Mandatory Palestine, 1939.

With the rise in status of foreign and non-Muslim dignitaries in the Holy Land in the 19th century, the ruling Ottomans assigned special bodyguards of all cultural backgrounds to protect diplomatic consuls, Christian patriarchs and chief rabbis. These guards, called “kavass” (the meaning in Ottoman Arabic is “archer” or “bowman”), were colorful characters, whose uniforms mimicked the style of the Ottoman military and, prestigious as they were, their presence became a status symbol. This tradition survived in the British Mandate and in the early years of the State of Israel. Some of the Christian counterparts can still be found in the Old City of Jerusalem, accompanying the church patriarchs who have not yet decided to relinquish this symbol of honor from the past.

So like...

How much inbreeding do you suppose goes on in Mary Geoise?

Honestly?

Over 800 years. Only 19 families of Celestial Dragons? There's got to be some branches in those family trees getting crossed and interwoven like a bad jigsaw puzzle.

Would not put it passed the bastards to be into that Pure Bloodline esque monstrosity. Poppin' out kids with the lock jaw, forehead launchpad aesthetic.

Donquixote brothers really dodged the bullet. I say that. But DomoMingo (Doflamingo) was absolutely bonkers.

A silly lil guy.

A goofy lil goober.

This one really goes out to all the Charles II of Spain girlies up there in the Holy Land.

If this Palestine Israeli ‘conflict’ showed us anything it’s that the west really hates Arabs. They don’t like us, they’ll never like us. Palestinian Christian’s and Muslims being attacked and killed, their holy sites being desecrated - and they have nothing but to call us terrorists, when they’ve exported more global terrorism than anyone. Look how quick they turned on us, and put the knife to our throat.

When an Arab dies in an unjust war, it’s just a mistake. Iraq was a ‘mistake’ Afghanistan was a ‘mistake’ and the list goes on. Millions of lives, dreams, families, history GONE.

I wish Levantine Arabs were more united.

As we approach Jerusalem Day this Wednesday, let’s reflect on a verse that captures the essence of our connection to Jerusalem:

"If I forget you, Jerusalem..." is how this powerful declaration starts.

We say the complete verse in Jewish weddings just before the groom breaks the glass — a symbol of joy mingled with our historical sorrows;

A testament to the enduring bond between the Jewish people and their holy city;

A promise of remembrance and devotion that has echoed through the ages.

This Sunday’s email will be dedicated to Jerusalem, and as part of it - I will dive into the full verse, exploring its significance and teaching it in Hebrew.

Here's to you, Jerusalem! 🥂

The importance of recognizing Palestine

• It corrects the historical record of previously negating its natural continuity

• It rectifies the false premise of a second-tier citizenry

• It welcomes Palestine in its rightful, senior place at the international table

• It respects its destiny and creates a safe space for its national future

• It promotes reconciliation
