If opinion polls are a measure, Bush could be expected to take 60 percent or more of the Israeli vote, especially because the opponents of disengagement would likely find the Democratic candidate even more unsympathetic to their cause.

Red State :)

We know that Benjamin Netanyahu was born to be a U.S. senator from New Jersey. Failing that, Israel could send him instead.

Bill Buckley came up with this idea about 40 years ago. It didn't gain much traction. :)

Once officially part of the US, security would be a done deal. Can you imagine, say, Florida tolerating weekly suicide attacks on marketplaces.

What if Israel were, in fact, the 51st state?

Non-Jewish Zionists would move in from the other 50.

Jeremiah 31:6-9

6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Hey whatever works...

As I see it, Republicans are strong supporters of Israel and are the Mideast terrorists worst nightmare, while Democrats are the appeasement peace-in-our-time party. Israeli's after the 6 day war even credited President Nixon as the savior of Israel, after he sent everything including the kitchen-sink to re-stock Israeli militaries weapons and supplies, weapons and supplies that they had run out of totally. Without these Israel would have lost that war and would have been driven into the sea. Given that fact and that most Democrats would sell out Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan if that would solve our terrorist problem, why is it that just about 70 percent of Jewish-Americans consistantly support the Democratic Party in every election?

LETTER FROM A DEPORTEE
Your Country Is Safe From Me
By ELENA LAPPIN

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elena_Lappin

Isaiah 47

The Humiliation of Babylon

1 “Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate.

2 Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man.”

4 As for our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel. 5 “ Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms.

6 I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.

7 And you said, ‘I shall be a lady forever,’ So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them. 8 “ Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children’;

9 But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments. 10 “ For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, ‘ I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

11 Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know. 12 “ Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth— Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail.

13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators Stand up and save you From what shall come upon you. 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before!

15 Thus shall they be to you With whom you have labored, Your merchants from your youth; They shall wander each one to his quarter.

No one shall save you.

Check please...

Israel has 37% of the world's Jews, the US has 46%, according to 2001 estimates. If Israel became the 51st state, then 83% of the world's Jews would be US citizens. Jewish demographics
