Hi to everybody...I've just listened to Start the Week which included the interview with Shlomo Sand and it's well worth listening to it...the actual interview starts about 10.58 mins into the programme and you can just move the cursor along to there if you want to skip the first interview...it lasts around fifteen minutes...It's not just relevant to the Jewish history but to all of us around the world and our ideas of nationalism...

Shattering a 'National Mythology'

Hi to everybody...there is a very interesting article here concerning Professor Shlomo Sand who has written a book which claims that the Jewish Diaspora brought about by the Romans never took place...He was interviewed this morning on 'Start the Week' as one of the guest speakers.
It's a long article so I won't copy and paste it but here's where you can find it...

Colloquialisms

What is your most hated colloquialism?
Mine is the use of "of" when writing phrases such as "I would of," rather than "I would have," or "I would've."
How do people escape from school with a habit like that? (Don't answer that. I must be mad to even ask.)
Can we find a list of ten between us?
