“So, who the Hell is Qoheleth?” - An Illustrated Screenplay
What had been, is what will be. There is nothing new under the sun.
Abstract
Josephus was a budding philosopher of Jewish descent in Damascus of Hellenistic times, when he took a bet that he could produce a decent work of philosophy, and wrote the Biblical scroll of Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth). Soon after that, he became the most notorious celebrity in his town, made a moderate fortune from donations of enthusiastic fans of the scroll, and became annoyed by the fact that he has become the object of affection of nearly every single young female in his town.
However, nothing could prepare Josephus to the day he ran into a trio of female Celtic travellers, who provide him with many questions, including the million dollar question, “Who is the Qoheleth (Now)?”.
This is an illustrated screenplay inspired by the #SummerNSA effort and set in a time of great confusion — not unlike our own.

Licensing
All the text in “So, who the hell is Qoheleth?” is original, and as far as I’m concerned can be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial ShareAlike licence Unported (CC-by-nc-sa) (either version 3.0, or at your option any later version), but like I said, the situation is more complicated than that.

Israeli Images - it’s not all desert, not all Jews there are orthodox, it is an industrialised country, and people there lead happy, peaceful lives.
“Dispelling some Myths about Israel.” - an essay I wrote.
Define “Zionism”! - an essay I wrote about: 1. Why Zionism now has several meanings. 2. What Israel is doing wrong? and - 3. How people confuse anti-Zionism, anti-Israelism, and anti-Semitism.
A solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - another essay of mine.
Psychological Bicameralism on the Wikipedia - explains about Julian Jaynes’ theory about the emergence of human consciousness (meaning “sentience” - not “awareness”) relatively late in history at around 1300 BC to 300 BC, presented in his book which makes a good read from the historical perspective and similar perspectives, whether or not it actually happened.
