I am enclosing an email I received from an Australian doctor who has been living in Israel for the past seven years and who just recently married a cousin of mine.

Darn you do ask the hard questions packrat ! But I'll find that out too......I didn't mean for you to spend a couple months digging through all your old G&A to find a Radom.
That said; I wish I had 30 years of G&A to dig through.

LOL ........Stay Safe !
To: Tom Jefferson,
quite a story & quite a story teller,
PRAISE THE LORD, this story definitely justifies extermination of all except the jews and to take the final measures towards establisihing the most powerful Zionist state with ability to take over and rule this world with full control. Time for story telling is about to go if not already gone. Its time be practical and to eliminate, eradicate and exterminate all elements that get in the way of final establishment of Universal Zionist Empire where all is controlled by the Zionist Jews.
More power to Sharon, you need not bow to anyone be it a bush a vine or an old oak tree.

Arafat's machine gun
I thought that it was an Uzi; I did the google search but no hits came up.
You do realize that they can make their own weapons, though. It could be a custom job. The Israelis have shut down a lot of machine shops and weapon caches. They even showed on TV a custom built military style weapon. Interesting.

I have since read Benjamin Netanyahu's book
A Durable Peace and it was very good. Basically it was a much more in depth version of this letter that this thread is based on.
While I still have my reservations about Israel, certain things have occured to me:
- Israel does not send their young people to be suicide bombers. One could argue that they do not need to, but that does not justify it.
- Israelis don't kill other Israelis for cooperating with the Palestinians. The Palestinians have killed who knows how many so-called collaborators. I read in the paper that 40 more have been sentenced to death (including a 15-year-old boy whose sentence was commuted) and they are just waiting for Arafat to sign the death warrant.
- The fact that Jewish and Christian holy places were off limits between 1948-1967 was not mentioned in the first book that I read. That is an important detail that should have been in a book subtitled A Concise History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
- I read that a Palestinian woman paramedic was killed in an explosion a couple of weeks ago. The Palestinians decry the killing of paramedics and Israel's refusal to let them treat wounded. Ordinarily I would agree. But apparently this woman paramedic was carrying explosives. While intentionally targeting civilians in war is reprehensible, turning aid workers into combatants is even worse. All it takes is one incident like this to cast the shadow of doubt on all paramedics and actually kill a lot more people indirectly by them not being able to get aid.
There have been some other things that I have read, and I definitely plan on reading a lot more about the country.

RE: Arafat's machine gun
Yeah, I read post 175, thanks. I was reading the posts sequentially when I replied and I hadn't got to it yet.
To: Jason Gade
Oh, I forgot to mention: Israeli women do not pose as journalists and lure innocent young Palestinian boys to be killed by thugs as happened to an Israeli teen a couple of years ago.
To: Jason Gade
Good work, Jason. You are to be commended for clarifying your education. You have my respect.
To: Jason Gade
Holy Palestinians are worse than animals bump!
To: Tom Jefferson
Incidentally, if all the fighting is about our retreating to the 1967 borders - what was all the fighting about prior to 1967? Just one of many great lines.

So, massacres of civilians eating in pizzerias or celebrating religious holidays, are justified by "the Palestinian legitimate right to resist." In ISM's parallel universe, a person can support suicide bombers, while calling himself a "pacifist," a "peace activist," a "humanitarian worker." And note that ISM's language and that used by Arafat on March 31 in calling for foreign intervention against "Israeli aggression" were virtually identical.A Jewish Nazi? The Adam Shapiro Story
