No Title Seems Right
I'm not feeling to perky over here today. Things have gone from unbearable to more unbearable in Israel.
Funny, I hear lots of people talking, who think they have the answers.
Every one of them is a fool.
If I hear 'cycle of violence' one more time, I think I will come existentionally unhinged.
It is a fact of life that is totally incomprehensible to me, that Israel is held to a different standard than any other country on the face of the Earth. The whole world expects them to tolerate the intollerable. And it shames me to the core that the United States is in that same camp. Even though we are the cream of the crop of supporters of Israel, our government still preaches 'restraint'.
I am afraid that restraint is not going to cut it anymore against people far and wide who teach their little, little children to desire death. Mothers talk about wanting to bear children who will die taking as many infidels with them as possible. This is worse than the worship of the ancient idol, Molach where people threw their children against a rock and then into a fire. This modern 'cult of death' would make the worshippers of Molach look away in horror.
Yes, yes, what we need to combat this kind of mentality is. . . restraint.
I can't think of a word bad enough to express how this angers me.
My consolation,-- though it may tarry, still I wait for it -- is a small verse in Zechariah 2:12.... "He who touches you, touches the apple of his* eye."
*(There is a long discussion in Rabbinic literature that though this word is written 'his' it actually means 'My'. But was written the other way as a euphamism out of respect to God.)

And what really makes me steam is "Land for Peace."
It hasn't worked, it's not working, and it will not work. The chutzpah of one who gives away what G-d gave is beyond my ken.
On my refrigerator I have a card. It shows an Israeli soldier in kipa, tefillin and tallit, his head bowed and cradled in the crook of his arm. He is praying: Master-of-the-Universe I beg You, please send Mashiach Now!
I'm thinking that's the *only* way we'll ever have peace. The humans obviously haven't a clue.
Shalom

I will never understand the mentality that can harm a child. Especially from a mother, the bearer of life. How can you carry/adopt a child and raise it for the purpose of death. I cannot fathom this and I never, never will. I know we talk about different cultures, but come on! This is just not acceptable and it MUST be stopped.

My dear friend I join you in your anger and in your sorrow.
Unfortunately the liberal mentality is everywhere; even in Israel. When the voices of appeasement convinced them to exchange prisoners awhile back it showed weakness to the enemy and now that enemy will capitalize on it at every opportunity.
Everyday I hope Israel will tell the appeasers to take a long hike off a short peer and then go stomp the bejeebers out of those insane pieces of human debris who destroy everything they touch. Someone needs to that's for sure.

Our Father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But DELIVER US FROM EVIL
For Thine is the Kingdom
And the Power
And the Glory forever..........Amen
Hallowed be Thy Name.

But DELIVER US FROM EVIL
For Thine is the Kingdom

It seems to me that the Middle East has been at war since the begining of human time and will continue to be until the end of human time. Although, the warring has been MUCH worse since the conception of Islam. I just wish they could be reasoned with, but, they just aren't rational.

Yes, seems the world has an uneasy eye on the happenings over there right now. ;-)
