But wait, I have lots of empathy; I suffer from it. So, I ask myself 'what are you celebrating'? 'the killing of women and children'?. Well no. Not exactly, but...<br />My 2000 years of repressed anger and frustration and fury at the unfairness and cruelty and dehumanisation explains some of it.<br />So what explains your axe wielding neighbour? Each case has an answer.<br />What explains the dehumanised perception of Israel and Jews? By Christians? By Muslims? By 'liberal' Jews?<br />Others, like me, must also have their causes. Good or Evil.<br />I don't have the answers but you try to add a little reason to the package.<br />Thank you for what you write and do.<br />Barrie. Sderot.Barrie.

Israel desperately needs all her most articulate friends. <br /><br />The atmosphere here, Rep of Ireland, is poisoned; mouthy, historical retards banging on about the "dispossessed Palestinian people". In that lexicon, Israel equals England (i.e. coloniser).

Audacious to predict Bibi's speech, and I think you'll agree that he went beyond your expectations with "If we receive this guarantee regarding demilitarization and Israel’s security needs, and if the Palestinians recognize Israel as the State of the Jewish people, then we will be ready in a future peace agreement to reach a solution where a demilitarized Palestinian state exists alongside the Jewish state."<br /><br />He has already drawn flak for that from Daniel Pipes for lack of caution.<br /><br />And Mubarak has had a conniption because Bibi dared to demand that the Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state. (Never mind UN GAR 181 and all that.)(seehttp://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1244371100536&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull)wondererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941070946447575458noreply@blogger.com
