The TRUTH about the MYTHS - Would the World be Better Off without Israel (G-d Forbid)?

Posted by Lady-Light Friday, July 14, 2006

It's about time for a post, don't you think? Couldn't come at a better time, seeing that Israel is finally hitting back hard at her enemies who have all but declared war on her. For those of you who have had your heads in paper bags for the last couple of weeks, Israel is fighting for her life on two fronts, the south, in Gaza (Aza - why the 'g', I have no clue), and the north, in Lebanon. This is because, in both areas, Hamas & Hezbollah (financially & otherwise supported by Damascus and Teheran) attacked, sent Kassam and Katyusha rockets into Israeli cities targeting, wounding and murdering civilians, and kidnapped soldiers. All this this a major offensive and is tantamount to a declaration of war on Israel.

That given, I commend President Bush for supporting Israel's right to defend itself. However, where does Condi Rice get the nerve to request that Israel use restraint? Would the US use 'restraint' if attacked by Mexico?? I think not; it would retaliate and re-annex it to TEXAS, for god's sake. When was the last time Rice or anybody else in this government had to rush their children into bomb shelters for the umpteenth time?!

Think about it. Approximately one-third of the country has been attacked and is in bomb shelters. One-third! Translate late into American terms, and it takes on a whole new meaning.

I am appalled at the way the world, and elements in the United States as well, look upon Israel and the situation it's in, maligning and blaming the tiny Jewish State for all the ills in the Middle East, and absolving the Arabs of all culpability.
Please, do yourselves a favor and read the article (it takes a few short seconds to register) by Josef Joffe:

Open your eyes, get your heads out of those paper bags and see the TRUTH.

As the old saying goes, if the Arabs put down their weapons, there would be peace. If Israel put down its weapons, it would be annihilated.

May Hashem protect Israel and the Jewish people, for "as it goes with the Jews & Israel, so it will go with the world...."

Shabbat Shalom.
