Here it is, my keynote address at the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine Convention in Jacksonville, Florida. The event was lovely. This is a Christian Palestinian organization that is focused on maintaining Palestinian culture within the diaspora in the US. They have numerous cultural events, tours, and annual gatherings. This is the organization that invited me as well as 6 others to tour the Holy Land in October of 2019. My group included three clergy members, two medical professionals, and an educator. The trip was incredible and educational. We visited holy sites of all three Abrahamic religions, swam in the Dead Sea, and rode camels. We visited Tel Aviv and stayed in Jeruselum and Ramallah. We visited numerous Palestinian art and music centers and ate the most delicious food. And of course, as we toured, we witnessed the occupation first hand. It was shocking and humbling. Forever changing. I am grateful I was asked to go on this trip. I was later asked to be the keynote speaker at their annual convention. I'm sorry the quality isn't the greatest, I had one of the attendees film it for me on their phone.
Day 4: Iran’s Mosaic Defense Tested + Why China Isn’t Joining the War to Save Iran

Excellent and essential groundwork episode of The New Atlas. Thanks Brian! This is THE video to watch to understand what is going on in relation to the current conflict. This video is 36 min long, and is most beneficial when watched from end to end.
@KimIversen I highly doubt your claim that Iran shot down the F15s as if they did the IRGC would have claimed the combat victory publicly as they have with the strikers on the US naval Fleet headquarters, and they haven’t.
