I pretty much shrug my shoulders at these planned pieces of propaganda, and no doubt most Israelis do too. There's just no point in getting upset at the "world's" reaction any longer; there's no point in expecting even a scintilla of fairness from these people. It's not as if they--the Eurotrash who are at root anti-Semites and the openly anti-Semitic, murderous Arabs and Moslems--can hate Israel any more than they already do. Israel will maintain the blockade, weather the storm, and that will be that. Egypt will pay a stiff price in the end for lifting the blockade on their side of Gaza, as they've already done. Mubarak is playing with fire; he'll be allowing Islamists more of a power base in Egypt, if they can more easily operate to smuggle through Egypt. There's no way Egypt can avoid that outcome if they allow this.
Got to be said Godot that for some reason Isreal reminds me of how we Americans founded what was once the Greatest Nation on earth. I say once as I am a realisist.
Our ancestors came here to a land that was totally unused by humans, as did the Isrealies that went into their new home. Both began as a refruge from religious precursion at the begining then turned into an oppurtunity to make wealth.
Both of us had to fight the wandering tribes that desired our goods and all we had worked for. Hard work and blood spilled led both of us to a good life and then foreign countrys came in to take over.
Both countrys have faced the unthinkable in brutality from our enemys and still kept going for a dream of freedom.
Only difference is the time line and the culture at the time. As much as we believe the history we are told in school and movies, it was the womans decision to load her kids in a wagon and face the unknown.
These woman knew what would happen to them and their family if caught by the Indians but were willing to shoot from the hip themselves. Their 8 year old sons and daughters were trained to reload a weapon.
The Isralies in this time trained 13 year old kids to take a machine gun apart and put it back together blindfolded.
Yah freedom had to be fought for at the price of blood and guts.
Tody we take in this country freedom for granted to the point of harm to society as a whole. What do we care if we loose a few rights as long as we can live the good life.??
Isreal however cannot sit on its ass and demand to be able to live a life of Joy. They are facing the same Indians we faced 200 years ago but the bow and arrow is now Missels and terror.
Is everyone blind to the fact that if the Jews are taken down then it is a short step to taking down the Christians.??
Every Christian church I have ever attended had a short reading from the old Testament, are we to abandon Jesus a Jew for the life and beliefs of others.?
