1. Circumcision Enhances Sexual Performance!
The New Yorker's botched circumcision article

Even if we were to grant that circumcision leads to a decrease in sexual sensation, that does not mean there is necessarily a decrease in sexual satisfaction. Dr. Robert M. Sade makes this very point in his 2013 Pitts Lectureship in Medical Ethics to the American Academy of Pediatrics. He states,
I did a lot of minor procedures, and one of those was circumcision. They'd line up at the door to have circumcisions, these sailors at the age of eighteen, nineteen, twenty-two, twenty-five. And the reason that they were anxious to have their circumcisions done was because they knew from evidence from their friends that having circumcision improves sex because you could last longer. You didn't have the same degree of stimulation, and to some men, to many men, this is a very important issue.
Although not a definitive study by any means, the point here is clear: there are those who claim the exact opposite of Rav Yitzhak ben Yedaiah, that if there is a decrease in sensation, there could be an increase in overall sexual satisfaction.

2. Oestrymnon - Brittany (France), Isles of Oestrymnides (i.e. Britain) .
Festus Avienus (ca. 400 CE) in a poem ('Ora Maritima') based on Carthaginian accounts from around 300 BCE gives information concerning the maritime activities of ancient Tarshish and related matters: In this poem he identifies Gadira (Gades) with Tarshish. He mentions Oestrymnon in Brittany (in Gaul) and the Isles of Oestrymnides (i.e. Britain) that were rich in metals and produced tin and lead.
Avienus
Ophiusa extends its side, being as large
as you hear the Island of Pelops
lying in the territory of the Greeks is. This land was originally called Oestrymnis
by those who inhabited the Oestrymnian countryside and region,
much later the serpent chased away the inhabitants
and gave the now empty land its name.[1]
The "serpent people" of the semi-mythical Ophiussa in the far west are noted in ancient Greek sources.

3. Judah and Dan in Ireland and Scotland? - An Alternate View

Extract:
Consider that the Milesian Scots who took over Ireland from the Tuatha de Danaan (the tribe of Dan) were largely of Jewish extraction, many having descended from Zerah. Irish historian Thomas Moore writes: "It is indeed evident that those persons to whom St. Patrick [A.D. 400s] applies the name Scots, were all of the high and dominant class; whereas, when speaking of the great bulk of the people, he calles them Hiberionaces, from the name Hiberione, which is always applied by him to the island itself" (1837, Vol. 1, p. 72).
Dr. James Wylie explained: "The Scots are the military class; they are the nobles . . . The latter [the Hiberni] are spoken of as the commonality, the sons of the soil" (History of the Scottish Nation, 1886, p. 281). Wylie also adds: "St. Patrick often uses Scoti and Reguli [princes] as equivalent terms. To the term Scottus he adds often the word Nobilis; whereas he has no other appellative for the native Irish but Hyberione, or Hyberni genae, the common people" (p. 282 footnote). While the common people of Ireland were simply Hiberni or Hebrews, the tribe of Dan, the early Scot overlords were Jewish. And it was this Jewish aristocracy with whom the Irish royalty intermarried.
The Scottish UiNialls or O'Neills of Ulster, through whom the high kingship was transferred to Scotland shortly after Patrick's time, were heavily Jewish, having as their symbol the red hand of Zerah. Thus, the later nobility of Scotland was also largely Jewish.
.... the Jutes actually arrived first! "The first of these Teutonic kingdoms was founded in Kent. A despairing British chieftain or king, Vortigern . . . to save his people from their northern foes . . . invited the Teutons to come to his aid. Two well-known Jutish Vikings, Hengist and Horsa, accepted the invitation with their followers, and in the year 449 landed on the island of Thanet, the southeastern extremity of the England . . . Eric, a son of Hengist, was, in 457, formally crowned king of Kent, that is, of England's southeastern coast. He was the first of her Teutonic kings" (p. 129).
Notice the following from a linguistics textbook: "The German linguist Jakob Grimm (of fairy-tale fame) . . . published a four-volume treatise (1819-1822) that specified the regular sound correspondences among Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, and the Germanic languages. It was not only the similarities that intrigued Grimm and other linguists, but the systematic nature of the differences . . . Grimm pointed out that certain phonological changes that did not take place in Sanskrit, Greek, or Latin must have occurred early in the history of the Germanic languages. Because the changes were so strikingly regular, they became known as 'Grimm's Law' . . . [one example of which is] d->t . . . voiced stops become voiceless" (Victoria Fromkin and Robert Rodman, An Introduction to Language, Fourth Edition, 1988, p. 315).
Thus, the people who were later known as the Juten or Yuten (as J is pronounced Y in German and Scandinavian languages) would originally have been known as the Juden or Yuden. With the Hebrew plural this would be Judim or YudimJ Yehudim or Yehudim being the actual Hebrew for Jews. Indeed, Juden is the German word for Jews.
Hengist and Horsa, then, were leaders of Jutes who were likely Jews. As this Jutish population expanded in southern England, it took over more and more land, the Jutes thus becoming nobles. Indeed, their early arrival ensured that they were the longest established noble families of the Anglo-Saxon population. Furthermore, Hengist and Horsa are traced in descent from Woden or Odin, making them royal descendants of Zerah and perhaps even David ....

4. Galedon of Ancient Britain is Gilead of Manasseh!
Origines Celticae (A Fragment) and Other Contributions to the History of Britain
By William Stubbs (1825 - 1901),
Galedin one of three peoples whop came to Britain in Peace.
# Three tribes of refuge that came to Ynis Prydain and in peace and in leave of the Cyrmy did they come, without weapon, without attack; the first was the tribe of Celydonn in the north; the second was the tribe Gad-wydll, and in Alban [Scotland] they are; the third the men of Galedin who came in bare ships to the isle of Gwyth when their country was drowned. Myvrian Archaeology p. 258. Land Ptolemy assigned to the Belgae.

5. Amnon Goldberg: End-Times Wars
Further to "Eretz Yisroel will be a refuge" (JT Good Shabbos, 17 November), "It was a miracle: not so much that the Allies won, but that the Germans got as far as they did!" (French President General Charles de Gaulle).
In 1942 Hitler envisaged a vast pincer movement from the Caucasus, from Egypt and the Balkans that would grasp the Middle East oil-fields to fuel his panzer divisions. These spearheads were intended to meet in Iran and head towards India. In the Orient, Japan had occupied the coast of China, the East Indies, Malaya and Burma. If these two enemy spearheads had met, Japanese raw materials and German production would be combined and the Axis would have won the war.
R.Zev Paretzky ("Miracle at El Alamein" 2014, p.95) relates of the similarity in the name Rommel and that of the Anti-Moshiach Armilus, leading many at the time to fear that the German Feldmarschall could have been a bechinah [aspect] of this rosho [evil-doer] who, if the geulah [End-Time Redemption] is b'gevurah [by Power], is destined to have a short-lived reign in Jerusalem.
Of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, 300,000 were Sephardim e.g. the Jews of Salonika. The Nazis did not distinguish between Jews of different skin colour. Had Rommel reached Eretz Yisroel, it is believed that the participation of most Arabs would have been even worse than that of the Latvian and Ukrainian collaborationists. The frenzied viciousness of the 1929 Hebron massacre showed that gas chambers would not have been needed in the despatch of the 1.5 million Jews of N. Africa and the Yishuv; see "Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands", Robert Satloff 2006.
On the rare occasions when Eisav and Yishmoel unite, the world totters: "They take counsel against You together, Edom and the Yishmoelim...." (Tehillim 83). Turkey, German, France, Iraq, Russia, Muscovy, Tobolsk, Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Persia, Rome, Greece, and Cyprus are amongst others identified in the Tenach [Scripture] by Chazal [the Sages] as playing a role in an End Time 'WWIII' involving the Moshiachs ben Yosef and ben Dovid.
