So how many historical deaths of important people that were officially considered as "accidents" or "suicides" were actually carefully planned assassinations?

>In verse 12, after staying Abraham’s knife-wielding hand in mid-air, the angel of God tells the father of monotheism, “I now know you fear God because you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
>That phrase, “have not withheld your son,” “could indicate Abraham was merely willing to sacrifice his son, or that he actually did so,” Yoreh says.
>One hint that it may have been the latter is contained in the names for God used in the story. The Biblical text calls the God who instructs Abraham to sacrifice his son “Elohim.” Only when the “angel of God” leaps to Isaac’s rescue does God’s name suddenly change to the four-letter YHWH, a name Jews traditionally do not speak out loud.
>Elohim commands the sacrifice; YHWH stops it. But it is once again Elohim who approves of Abraham for having “not withheld your son from me.”

>Some scholars also point at the genealogical snippet (verses 20-24) as containing a hint to the question whether Abraham sacrificed Isaac or not. First of all, the description of a rash of newborns placed right after the main story suggests the existence of some direct cause-effect connection between the two. From the perspective of a sacrificial economy, such a numerous progeny could not have been conceived without the preceding payment in an appropriate "currency". Secondly, the said passage is problematic due to its onomastic content. The verses 20-23 list the progeny of Nahor and Milkah while v. 24 adds the offspring conceived with Re’umah, said to be his concubine. However, whereas verses 20-23 have some significant links with other parts of the Hebrew Bible as well as with the historical and cultural entourage of the ancient Near East, such connections are absent in v. 24. The very name of Nahor’s concubine appears here exclusively and in no other place in the Hebrew Bible is Re’umah mentioned. The same applies to her children’s names with the exception of Ma‘akah which is sometimes utilized in the historical books. The extreme rarity of these appellations demands some alternative interpretation with regards to its purpose. Accordingly, the personal list may contain some "coded" explanation concerning the rest of the story: Re’umah (ראומה) – "see what"; Tevah (טבח) – "slaughtering" or "slaughtered"; Gaham (גחם) – "flame" or "burning"; Tahash (תחש) – "skin" often used to cover the tabernacle; Ma‘akah (מעכה) – "blown" or "crushed". In other words, v. 24 begins with an interpretational invitation and continues with the names which seem to explain the cause of the rash of newborns present at the conclusion of the pericope: somebody had been blown, slaughtered, put on the tabernacle and burned.[21]

I have a better explanation, E fills in that part and then J takes over. E is known to have short events in the JEPD hypothesis. Though I believe that J and E are done by the same author. It's so simple.

Because most conservatives try to focus on his grandfatherly appeal and ignore the disaster that was his economic and social policies. Aside from the war on drugs, mass incarceration, and numerous coups around the world, Reagan killed the fairness doctrine which fucked mainstream news media beyond repair. If you're wondering what happened to the quality broadcasts you see from the 80's and before, Reagan happened.

the Muslim conquests were bigger but that isn't even close to all of the battles either directly including the Crusades or caused by them. This is one of those things that I don't get about /pol/, if they just had the real amount of Crusader battles it would still be WAY less than the Muslim battles. Even when they're right about something they make themselves look so retarded by neglecting facts.

Why did the Communist Party allow Deng to make China capitalist? Do any modern-day Chinese Communist regret this transformation?

If by "the Pope" you mean "Joseph P. Kennedy", then yes.

It's crazy how much of an abusive tyrant JFK's father was to his kids. JFK never wanted to enter politics, he just wanted to be a sports columnist; but once his older brother was killed in WWII, Joe put the responsibility of becoming America's "first Catholic president" on the next in line. JFK figuratively had no choice in the matter.

Also the Kennedy family differed in religiosity. While Robert took Catholicism very seriously, Jack was aloof to it, and even considered renouncing it entirely just to spite his bootlegging dad.

>>2058631
Nah mate he shook the Pope's hand not suck his dick
>>
>>2058631
Kennedy took orders from plenty of people, namely his dearest family. He was a rich boy through and through. But he was notoriously hard to control, and many theories speculate that he was assassinated because of it.

The theory of him "taking orders from the Pope" was invented by angry Americans trying to bash the first Catholic President in typical Evangelical protestant fashion. Total fiction.

Couldn't really boil it down to 5 people, but for history my top 2 are Von Ranke and Carlyle. I'm kind of glad that there's now a large neo-Rankean pushback against post-modernism.

I know Von Ranke is often considered to be the father of modern history

but i always thought that title was given to Gibbon instead?

was Von Ranke more influential than Gibbon?

Is there anybody here on /his/ who has experience writing academic papers?

I'm asking because I'd like to get my name on a paper before I leave undergrad. I'm entering senior year. I can do it for political science or history (dual major) and have a wide variety of historical interests. I can't seem, though, to settle on a topic. Not only that, but I only speak English and Spanish. My studies focus on Modern Europe (and Rome as a hobby/personal focus), but I don't have much experience with Spanish history or politics. Not much interest.

How did you choose yours, if you did? This may seem like a retarded question but for a beginner, this seems daunting. Thank you to all respond.

The argument against relativism that you're referring to is an exercise in semantics.

If you say "There is no absolute truth" and you counter with "But isn't that statement an absolute truth?" you can simply amend your position of relativism to

"There is no absolute truth, other then the fact that there is no absolute truth"

Note that I am not a relativist, but your argument's dumb and your shits all retarded, so I still feel obligated to rebuke you.
