US: Senate expresses support of Israel

The US Senate expressed its support of Israel by adopting a resolution condemning Hizbullah, Hamas, Syria and Iran.


"The Senate has spoken loud and clear: Israel has the right to defend itself against aggression. While I urge the Israeli government to act carefully, there should be no doubt as to where we stand in this conflict," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. (AFP)

Rockets fired, Immigrants land

Since conflict started last week, 174 immigrants arrived in Israel. About 840 more anticipated in next two weeks

As rockets continue to land in the north, hundreds of immigrants are landing in Israel, some of them asking specifically to live in northern Israel. In a heartwarming display of faith and Zionism, over a thousand immigrants, from a plethora of different countries, have arrived since the beginning of July, 174 of them since the beginning of the current conflict.

Ze'ev Boim, minister of immigrant absorption, praised this trend, saying "it is very important that immigrants are arriving now and it has a positive impact on Israeli morale." The statistics are exciting and reminiscent of the first Gulf War when immigrants, upon their arrival, received absorption benefits and a gas mask.


Later this week, 220 more immigrants from Canada and the United States are scheduled to arrive via the Nefesh B'Nefesh immigration and absorption assistance agency. Even more impressively, next Tuesday, 620 immigrants will arrive from France. The immigrants will be received with a festive ceremony in Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport, in which Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Boim, and the head of the Jewish Agency, Ze'ev Bilsky will take part, among others.

Rod...this guy USED to be totally 180 from what he is now.

However, his interview tonight TOLD US why he has changed...he has an OFFICE in Beirut..with employees from all of the different countries and "tribes"...

He HAS to blame Israel...but, he said that the Hezzies are "integrated" into the society..BUT, we cannot go after the Lebanese society???

I think it was Brit that said today how Nancy Pelosi today proclaimed that we shouldn't charge to rescue the Americans from Lebanon...but then he expertly reminded us all how she herself voted for the bill in 2003 that mandated that we (Amer. govt) charge in a case like this! Priceless.

Thank you! I heard that too and bears repeating over and over. What an idiot she must think the American public is. But wait. I didn't know that until Brit told us. Thank God for Brit calling her on it.
