Well, he IS going to dally around in Europe for awhile... could take a long time given their lengthy list of 'grievances' over how mean we are. I honestly don't know how he can stand it the way they've been lately. It would be like being the only coyote at a dog show- surrounded by prissy dogs that won't hunt.

[Hamash]

Thank you all, and God bless you. Piasa, please tell me where are the USO threads (or full name, maybe) so that I can repost there.

My brother once tried to flirt with some pretty girls when he got off his ship in Haifa and went into a restaurant there... he thought better of it though, when he noticed the had uzis.

; )

[piasa]

when he noticed they had uzis.

[Hamash]

Oh, he forgot the mantra: "You are a weapon. The gun is just a tool" :)
There were plenty of girls who didnt have weapons, hehe, hi should have looked better.

[Hamash]

I meen looked around better

Great post Hamash and welcome. This conservative forum supports Israel for the most part. The Israel supporters here know that the enemies of Israel are the international left and the Islamic Jihad. Israel is just one nation attacked by the Jihad. Most here supported Serbia when the Jihad attacked her.

The supporters of Israel on this forum are most of the Evangelical (Protestant, born again) Christians. Many Catholics who do not agree with the Vatican line on the MidEast. 98% of the Jews who post here are pro Israel.

To summarize: The international left with it's many atheists and the international Islamic Jihad are the enemies of Israel.
The left has become very skilled in "explaining" and doing propaganda work for the Islamic Jihad

Much more Israeli men and women must be armed and carry weapons at all times. It is madness to an Israeli peacenik/dove. All Jews of Israel must be armed and women must take weapon's training too. The Haredim (religious Orthodox) must be armed.

Praise Hashem and pass the ammunition!

[Hamash]

Oh yes, I will sign with blood under every word you said. Just look at the propaganda the socialist europe is pulling against Israel (and US). When the palestinian boy died in street fight, they howled like a bunch of orcs, but when 10-month old Israeli baby girl was shot through her head by palestinian sniper, in her carriage, they said NOTHING! Such lack of objectivity really drives me mad.

[piasa]

Yes, he should have. It was a good thing for the town that he didn't have too much time there, all the women would have worn out their hands slapping him.

I remember my father used to say it this way: "Here is my weapon, here is my gun; this one's for killing, and this one's for fun."

Keep dropping in to let us know how you're doing over there. It's always nice to get some news besides that junk Reuters news services tries to push on us.

Come back often and you will find how low the opinion here is for the Euros. Many like Russia a lot better.

This low opinion is not just about Israel's treatment of Israel. It's for socialism/cowardice/ and other matters.

Here is a favorite Euro photo.

 

Spain's Foreign Minister Josep Pique, right, pauses as in the background an unidentified member of the Spanish delegation kisses Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, left, following their meeting in Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah, Thursday Jan. 17, 2002. Pique is on a week-long tour of the Middle East in an European diplomatic effort to search for new ways to revive the Mideast peace process. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser)

Hamash, welcome to Free Republic. If you'll click on my profile you will see a little bit of the reason I support Israel vs. terrorism. I have opposed various dictators, totalitarians, and other members of the collectivist mindset for more decades than I care to think about.

We need to slip the chains off of Israel and let the Israelis clean out those viper's nests that were so foolishly allowed to flourish.

No Truce with Terrorism!

[hellinahandcart]

Welcome aboard, Hamash; good first post.

[Bahbah]

Welcome, FRiend. I am glad that you have been made aware of the huge support that Israel has here. One of my Jewish friends was despairing the other day because she thought that damage to the holy places would turn Christians against Israel. Nuts to that. These are just buildings. They can be rebuilt. Lives can't be restored. Never forget and never give in. Shalom.

[Mr. Thorne]

Don't know if anybody's mentioned this, but it came up on Fox and Friends this A.M.

And, as many know, if E.D. says it, I must believe it... = )

But seriously...

Apparently, in his speech yesterday, GW referred to Arafat exactly one time. To condemn his betrayal of his own people. After that, it was 'Palestinian leaders'. Plural. No more Arafat.

Now, that might not mean anything...

On the other hand, it might.

Welcome Hamash! And thanks for posting - I'll be smiling all day because of you. :) You have so much support - please believe that, despite the slant of most western media. There are many of us who stand with Israel, completely understand your situation and agree with the actions you are taking. Please post again, and in the meantime, we will pray for your safety. Shalom!

Isaiah 41:8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Oh right, and that's why we keep restraining Sharon.

Stay safe and good luck!

Another brilliant and well-written analysis, John Huang. I just can't help but like your idealism.
