Formula

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

People love formulas. There are formulas for everything under the sun.

A formula is a clear and systematic method of doing something. Say, you learn to write your first sentence in English: “I love you.” The formula for the sentence is: 1) Subject “I” comes first. 2) Verb “love” comes second, standing next to the subject. 3) Object “you” comes last, standing next to the verb. That is the writing formula you will use for the rest of your life.

(Note: If you are a girl learning English from a foreign guy, or vice versa, chances are the first sentence he teaches you is exactly that: “I love you.” Real life. Not my imagination 🙂 ) Continue reading Formula

During the Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale Jewish immigration, mainly from Eastern Europe took place, the numbers swelling in the 1930s with the Nazi persecution. Arab demands for independence and resistance to immigration led to a rebellion in 1937, followed by continuing terrorism and violence from both sides. UK considered various formulas to bring independence to a land ravaged by violence. In 1947, the UK turned the Palestine problem over to the UN. Read more.
