Lynching in Ramallah
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_Ramallah
“On October 12, 2000, two Israeli soldiers (Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami), entered Ramallah and were arrested by the Palestinian Authority police. According to Israeli sources, the men were reservists, who on their way to reporting for duty entered Ramallah by mistake;...
An agitated Palestinian mob stormed the police station, and beat the soldiers to death, and threw their mutilated bodies into the street. Then, the mob abused the bodies and dragged them in the street. The killings were captured on video by an Italian TV crew (Mediaset) and broadcast on TV; the famous picture of one of the lynchers waving his blood-stained hands from the window shocked and outraged many around the world, and became another iconic image. The brutality of the killings shocked the Israeli public...
...the BBC stated "the brutal death of these men - in full glare of TV - will have a lasting impact on the Israeli population and abroad."”

CELESTIAL TRIANGLE: Set your alarm. For the next five mornings, just before dawn banishes the night, you can see a fantastic celestial triangle rising in the eastern sky. The corners are Venus, Saturn and the bright star Regulus. This is worth waking up for! Sky maps: Oct. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
COUNT THE STARS: Readers, now is the time to go outside and count the stars: the Great Worldwide Star Count is underway. Organizers hope to map the global spread of light pollution and in the process get people outside to enjoy the heavens....
....The study began Oct. 1st and ends on Oct. 15th. There's still time to make a contribution, "so do it, and tell your friends!"

Genesis 15,
"1": After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
"2": And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
"3": And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
"4": And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
"5": And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
"6": And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
