"The #Jewish population is now nonexistent, but for thousands of years the #Jews of #Libya lived under the rule of the #Greeks, #Romans, #OttomanEmpire, #Italian, #British and #Arabs. In 1911, they made up roughly 4% of the #Libyan population. In 1938, “race protection laws” banned Jews from sending their children to school, working in skilled professions or intermarrying. Later the community was divided and sent to concentration camps across #Europe and #NorthAfrica.

In the years following World War II, the remaining Libyan Jews were forced to emigrate, leaving just 100 in 1969 and none at all by 2004. Many went to #Israel and many to #Rome, adding to the spread and diversity of Libyan and North African Jewish #cooking. Today we enjoy such dishes as #mafrum (stuffed #potatoes), #couscous and #chraime (a spicy #fish #stew). Learning about these #foods helps us to understand our people."

The world may be falling short on actions needed to prevent a #climateCatastrophy and #Greeks may be paying a premium for #cleanEnergy but, yeah, they're doing their part as best they can.

A cheer for the #Portuguese and #Chileans, too! 👍 👍 !!

As for the largest historical polluter, the Americans… well, they are fucking up the planet in all respects as best they can, too.

I'm still in awe of the ancient #Greeks. 2000 years ago, Hero of Alexandria described the aeolipile: the first recorded steam machine. A hollow sphere that spun when heated, a playful experiment centuries ahead of its time.
