James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was born #OTD, 13 June. As a physicist, he ranks alongside Newton & Einstein (“He achieved greatness unequalled”—Max Planck; “I stand on the shoulders of Maxwell”—Albert Einstein).

Maxwell also wrote poetry: “Rigid Body Sings” is based on “Comin’ Through the Rye” by Robert Burns

The right to self-determination does not grant anyone the right to colonize other people.

I explain it here: mihai.org/did-the-right-to-sel…

The image is a screenshot of a tweet by Samuel Stern (@RabbiSamStern) The tweet reads: "Arabs and Jews both are settlers by your definition. You only view the Arabs as “native” because of when you start your history. Just a coincidence I’m sure that you do it to deny Jews self-determination in our homeland."

Did the Right to Self-Determination Grant Jews a Claim to Palestine?

Explore the intricate dynamics of Jewish self-determination and the establishment of Israel in relation to international law.
