In My day that was A PLO trick. Now "APPARENTLY" The people in charge of war on both sides care more about who is right or wrong than the lives of innocent civilians. Nasrallah gets stronger the more fire he attracts. The IDF gets more support the more Nasrallah hits civilian targets in Haifa. A handful of Oil men and their Chinese industrialist counterparts are raking it in by the Billions while Crusaders and Jihadists in Texas and Iran fuel the fire with Rhetoric and twisted truths. My ears are still ringing from last night I saw the other side of the little building at which I sought shelter on the news when I got home. The cars parked on that side looked like cheese graters and there were pools of blood where the people on the other side sought shelter. Can we agree on a bottom line Palestine? That being we screwed up. Both of us- big time for all the right or wrong reasons we listened to the wrong leaders who lead us to by our pride or our fear and anger. Now, before we drag the whole civilized world down the drain with us- can we start to put out this fire from the core - the softest most vulnerable part? Are you following me? I know you are there. I don't want to wait this out. We did that. Yesterday my our people called me a traitor and attacked me Well, tried to. for holding a sign that said, "Beirut and Haifa want to live" Apparently only Haifa wants to live according to these morons. We were two hundred people the press said 27. Sometimes you have to believe what is in your heart. The press is a tool sometimes. It is an agenda belonging to who ever has the angle. I was at Nassalat Issa when the Bulldozers arrived. That's were I lost my back teeth. The Courts gave us a stay of demolition (Like a stay of execution) The Army showed up with border police we held them off as long as we could and then they rushed us like something out of a Russian Novel. The army runs Israel and the police they are in collusion with the settler movement and certain business / real-estate interests. I still consider myself a Zionist. Which I suppose is like you telling me, "I still consider myself a Nazi". I am either a zionist or "Post zionist" that believes that a jewish state does not have to come at the expense of Palestinians. We don't have to be so big. We can return lands and compensate the the families we made refugees. The wall should and must come down. Jerusalem belongs to at least three faiths I can think of and should be shared. The US embassy should stay where it is in Tel Aviv and perhaps that is where our government should reside. What do you say of course right after "Die Emperialist Zionist Pig?"

Bismillah,

Daniel, have you heard that song "Phalsteen iblaadee wal yahood ...?"

So when I found out what this meant years ago, I encouraged the kids singing it to substitute Yahood with Sahyooni because change is easier in smaller doses, and the Jews were not those kids enemies, in my opinion.  However, the imperialist Zionists, who, following Herzel's model, believe that all of the so-called promised land must be cleansed of all gentiles.  This is Zionism and therefore I am obliged to hate it because it is based on Herzel's model.

You are a Jew with an Israeli passport as my husband's family living there are Arab's with Israeli passports.  It would be great to work together, giving all of his family, my kids included of course, the right to return to their homeland.  Then you could have a democracy, but the problem is that the Jewish minority leadership probably won't allow it.  If they did, then you guys could really start to work things out together.

The Phalsteenee living in the states hate even saying "Israel", but the Arabs living there know that it is a thing they deal with every day.  It is their reality.  They are the ones to work with because they know that as much as they exist, Israel surely exists.

Salaamu Alaykum, and Fee Aman Illah

Any one who chooses the army as a career is someone of few options. So far in this war, we have killed more of ourselves by accident than the Palestinians and Hezbollah combined. Really how far a leap of faith is it that the IDF is run by stupid idiots. like any other army. We are in this war because my chief of staff in the space of hours had three kids snatched like apples from a distracted fruit vendor. Hamas in one case tunneled into an IDF army base. A super hi tech destroyer got taken out by a single missile. Two helicopters took each other out while Another pilot one wrapped up himself and his crew in a power line. And that was just this morning.

Actually when the US first invaded Iraq most of the deaths were caused by helicopter collisions, Vehicular accidents, and friendly fire, as the case of the professional football player from the Phoenix Cardinals that was killed by fire from his comrades..And these were not the weekend warriers, these were the pros, the full time Marines. Its great to have the most advanced weaponry in the world and have imbeciles that cannot use it
