Resolved Question: what Africa need from the G8 aid or fair trade?

BAMAKO, June 3, 2007 (AFP) - The five-day summit in Sikasso, a Malian town 370 kilometres south of the capital Bamako, will tackle debt, food security and immigration, as well as the creation of an alternative to the World Bank. Participants were expected from Benin, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Europe, said Barry Aminata Toure, head of Mali's African Coalition for Debt and Development, which groups about 60 NGOs. Toure blasted the G8 for reneging on aid pledges it made at the 2005 summit in Gleneagles. "The wealthy countries did not keep their word, (and) this is why it's up to the African countries, countries of the south, to take charge of themselves," said Toure. "The 'every for show' of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, controlled by the capitalists, no longer works. We must take charge of our destiny," she said. anyone want to look this very intresting picture? go to www.france24.com/mali sumit

Resolved Question: Why do people think thier is no such thing a a black jew *read whole thing"?

The European Jew--A Question of Identity! What! European Jews? What! European Jews? The African Jews of the Bible! The current State of Israel was set up by the US, Britain and the United Nations in 1948. The Scriptures tell us who they are: Most people have arrive to incorrectly associate the term Jew with Israel. While every Jews are Israelites, most Israelites are not Jews. It's clear in the Scriptures, yet it is one of the greatest misconceptions Christians have. An Israelite is a descendant of Jacob, whom God named Israel (Gen. 32:28). Jacob (Israel) had twelve sons, of which only one was named Judah. The term Jew is the English translation of the Hebrew Yehewdiy means "descendant of Judah"--The Tribe of Judah--the Ethiopian Jews are descended from Jews who accompanied Menelik, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, from Jerusalem to Ethiopia. Israel included the city of Jerusalem and was named after Judah. In fact, Judah became the name of the southern kingdom when Israel divided into two kingdoms about 2900 years ago. The ancestry of Joseph is traced back to Judah. So is the ancestry of King David. In Jacob's blessing of his 12 sons, in Genesis 49, he described Judah as a lion cub, saying that he would have his hand on the necks of his enemies and that he would be praised by his brothers. Jacob's blessing of Judah, in Genesis 49:8-12, includes a passage that is traditionally understood by Christians to mean that Judah's descendants would rule over the land of Israel, culminating with Jesus. Christians believe the Jewish homeland was given to the Jews in perpetuity by God Himself. The Bible says that whoever blesses Jewish people shall be blessed and whoever curses them shall be cursed. The original Israel of the Bible was encompassed up to Egypt and through Syria and part of Iraq. That is what the Middle East dispute is about. That is why the Arab world is rebelling. The Tribe of Judah--the Ethiopian Jews are descended from Jews who accompanied Menelik, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, from Jerusalem to Ethiopia. More scientific theories place the Falasha in the Agau family of tribes. Isaiah 11:11 strongly implies that there was an established Ethiopian Jewish community in the days of that prophet, approximately 740 BC. European Jews and others in different parts of the world were barely aware of the Falasha for many years. The Falasha thought they were the only remaining Jews. They continued to follow Judaism as it was practiced before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Most Westerners and Protestant churchmen learned of the existence of the Ethiopian Jews from James Bruce's five-volume work, Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile, published in Edinburgh in 1790. The Garden of Eden was located in the Tigris-Euphrates Region of Africa. Ham had four sons, and his sons are the people of the African Continent--the Ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians, Somalia's, Canaanites. Genesis Chapter 50 Verses 7-11, scripture describes every the Hebrews as looking like the ancient Egyptians. Genesis 2:10 – “And a River went out of Eden to water the Garden; and from thence it was parted and became four heads.” Genesis 2:13 – “And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole Land of Ethiopia.” Rishon and Gihon are located in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. The Pishon and Gihon Rivers mentioned in Genesis 2: 11-13, wind and turn through the Land of Havilah, somewhere in the Persian Gulf. Today the names of the rivers are the Great Zab (South of Nineveh), and the Little Zab; the Diyala River flows into the Tigris at Baghdad, Iraq. There were two Ethiopian nations in ancient times--Eastern and Western Ethiopia. There was an Ethiopian civilization in Southern Mesopotamia (Babylon), and the Ethiopian Tribes called themselves Babylonians. Genesis 10:8 - “Cush begat Nimrod. The word Cush means Ethiopia. Cush is the dad of Ethiopians. Nimrod ruled over the cities of Babylon, Erech, Accad (Akkad). The cities are situation in the Land of Shinar (Sumer). In Genesis 11:26-26 Abraham was one of the fathers of the 12 tribes of Israel. Abraham’s dad (Terah) came from the Land of Ur or the Chaldees. The Chaldeans are a Cushite Tribe. The Sumerians/Ethiopians/Mesopotamians (Elamites) settled from Mesopotamia to Europe. Currently this area now includes: Southern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Northwest India. Webster’s Dictionary (Gazetteer Section, p. 849) defines Sumerian as: The pre-Semitic population of the Lower Euphrates Valley. Sumer preceded Babylonia. The dictionary says there is a blood relationship between Dravidian Tribes of India and Ethiopian Sumerians (Elamites). Archeologists have found skeletons of the ancient Dravidian and Nedda types in Ur and Kish. Examples of Negrito types below: From http://andaman.org Yemeni Negritoid "Arab" man (1950's) Negrito of the Great Andaman group (1890s) Andamanese Negrito of the Jarawa group (1960s) Yemeni Veddoid Man (1950s) Vedda from Sri Lanka (1890s) Black Hebrew Facts – There are Jews throughout Africa. (Do you believe those Jews who fled to Europe converted the African Jews left behind before Hitler went on his rampage)? Black Jews of Dahomey - (Benin) Black Hebrews of Egypt and Ethiopia - Ethiopian Jews are better known the world over as Falasha, a Ge'ez (ancient Ethiopic) term meaning "stranger" or "exile." Tabiban Kamant & Wasambara Jews Jews of Malagasy Republic North African Black Jews Black Jewish Empire of Ghana The Moorish Empire (Hannibal) Black Jews of Angola Jewish Ashantees Yorba Jews of Nigeria The Book of Exodus describes a Hebrew (Jewish) presence in Egypt in the former Kingdom of Kush. In the 9th and 10th Centuries B.C.E. Kings David and Solomon sought to expand Hebrew (Jewish) influence and trade throughout the Mediterranean, Egypt, the Arab Peninsula, the Horn of Africa and Persia. The Bantu tribes of Southern Africa (where 40,000 members of the Lemba Tribe) still claim Jewish roots. Jewish tribal groups in Senegal are the descendants of the Tribe of Dan. The Ethiopian Jews can trace their ancestry to the tribe of Dan. The trans-migrants established communities in renowned places as Gao, Timbuktu (where UNESCO still maintains notable archives containing records of its old Jewish community), Bamako, Agadez, Kano and Ibadan. Jewish tribes have been situated in the heart of Africa since the dawn of recorded history. Ethiopia is mentioned in the beginning of the Biblical Book of Genesis, and there is no time in history when there were not Jews living there. From Ethiopia, they went west and south into the heart of Africa. Other Jews also migrated directly west from Egypt, entering Africa along the northern coast of the continent. Starting about 300 AD, the Kingdom of Ghana began to be ruled by a dynasty of Jewish Kings known as the Za Dynasty. The founder of the Dynasty was a man named Za el Yemeni, who was descended from Jews of Yemen. He established his capital city at Gao on the Niger River, in what is now the nation of Mali. According to the writings of Eldad the Danite, a famous Algerian Jewish author of the ninth century, Ghana was a Hebrew nation which followed the Law of Moses. The people of Ghana traced their roots to Jews of the First Diaspora of 600 BC, who were forcibly expelled from Israel by the Assyrians. In support of this, Eldad reported that the Ghanans possessed the Torah, which was compiled before the Diaspora, but not the Talmud, which was compiled in Jerusalem and Babylon much later, during the early centuries of the Christian era. In the seventh century AD, the whole of Africa north of the Sahara desert was conquered by the armies of Islam. Subsequently, an extremely lucrative trade system developed with the Sub-Saharan Kingdom of Ghana. The commodities first traded were gold and salt. This led to the appearance of regular caravan routes across the Sahara Desert to various cities in Ghana. These cities became wealthy. Shortly after the year AD 1000, the Kings of Ghana converted to Islam. Initially, the conversions were mainly for the purpose of fostering trade with the powerful Muslim states of North Africa, and had little to do with faith. But once Islam took root in the area, its impact grew inexorably. The current Jewish homeland was set up on May 14, 1948, by the UN "What I am trying to do is make the whole world safe for Jews," Harry Truman wrote as he wrestled over the decision to recognize a Jewish state in Palestine. Deeply affected by the Holocaust, Truman sympathized with Jewish aspirations for a homeland. In November 1947 he lobbied for the U.N. resolution that divided Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. Britain announced it would hand authority over Palestine to the U.N. by May 14, 1948. After the death of Solomon Israel was broken up into 2 kingdoms. Judah - which consisted of Benjamin, Judah and the Levitical Priesthood (Levi). The southern kingdom was the remaining 10 tribes - they eventually scattered throughout the (world). These were the Jews that Yahshua (Jesus) prepared his disciples to gather. They are the Lost sheep of the home of Israel. The modern Ashkenazim Jew--converts (from Eastern Europe) has tried to absorb every the nations and say they are whole again and living in Israel - but that is not true...the 10 tribes of millions of people that are still scattered - (the U. S., the American Indians, the Chinese, the Indian Dalits, the Ethiopians, the Jamaicans...on and on). The European Jew is a convert....the converts run the Nation of Israel. They converted 1100 years ago, some may have been from the tribe of Judah (Jews) but it is a tiny minority. The name Sephardim was attributed to the Jews who were forced to leave Spain and Portugal in 1492. Many of these settled in North Africa, other parts of Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Kristina Lord Comments Genesis 15: Since I was a young child in the church, I remember the story of Abraham. I remember having read these very chapters and having sung the Sunday School tune about dad Abraham. "dad Abraham, had many sons, many sons had dad Abraham, I am one of them and so are you, so let's just praise the Lord..." But the truth did not click for me then as it did today when I read Genesis 15 with the wealth of knowledge that I now have. Genesis 15:13-14 from the King James Version of the Bible reads "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they arrive out with great substance." After having read this I said to myself, "I don't remember anytime in history where 'Jews' were enslaved for four centuries. The only people that I know of who were enslaved for four hundred years are American blacks who were taken from Western Africa." history that says that the blacks who are now inhabitants of North America are actually the descendants of Abraham. God will deliver black America as he promised Abraham. If Jews were enslaved by the Romans for 4 centuries as blacks were, then either 1) there is a strong connection between today's Jews and American Blacks, 2) there was a conversion by some Europeans to Judaism, 3) there was a mixture with some Europeans with blacks to create white Jews with "kinky hair", or 4) some other conclusion. The other question I have is what is the span in years of a generation? I am referring to a generation because in Genesis 15:16 (Kings James Version) it reads: "But in the fourth generation they (Abraham's descendents) shall arrive hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." In the Contemporary English Version it reads: "Four generations later, your descendants will return here (this bible notes that Amorites refers to a name sometimes used of the people who lived in Palestine before the Israelites) and take this land, because only then will the people who live here be so sinful that they deserve to be punished."
