In one aspect, it shows a superbly gifted and talented soprano, Amanda Forsythe, demonstrating her great ability.

But who wrote what she is performing so admirably?

A man born in 1685 in Halle, Germany,

Both deserve credit

For another example from Handel's Almira (composed when Handel was all of 19 !!!), watch

Nothing "transgender" about Ms. Forsythe, thank god.

The conflict over Gaza

Here is how an AP news article describes the positions of the two sides, as of 2025-09-04:

"Hamas released a statement late Wednesday [2025-09-03] saying 

it was open to returning all 48 hostages it still holds — around 20 of them believed by Israel to be alive — 

in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, 

a lasting ceasefire, 

the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all of Gaza, 

the opening of border crossings and 

a start to the daunting challenge of rebuilding Gaza.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office dismissed the offer as “spin” 

and said the war would continue untilall the hostages are returned, 

Hamas is disarmed 

and Israel has full security control of the territory, with civilian administration delegated to others."

AI and war

Here are several articles that raise some alarms about that combination:

"The AI Doomsday Machine Is Closer to Reality Than You Think

The Pentagon is racing to integrate AI into its weapons system to keep up with China and Russia."

"AI-assisted targeting in the Gaza Strip

Preceding the development of AI, 

"Dead Hand" was developed:

One news article {out of many):

<Blockquote>"We filed lawsuits against Jeffrey Epstein, against his estate and against two financial institutions – JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank – 

that prove that they provided, knowingly provided, the financial infrastructure for a sex trafficking operation. 

Unfortunately, all of the documents and evidence that we have worked so hard to gather 

hide behind protective orders, confidentiality agreements and bank secrecy laws," 

Edwards said.

...

"The documents in the possession of the CIA should be made available. 

Those in the possession of the FBI going back decades should be made available. 

The SEC financial records… should be made available," 

Edwards continued, as he stood alongside the victims. </Blockquote>
