Many are leaving, more are coming. Yes, many Jews are secular and the pressure is very intense. Without the big picture of what God is doing here, I am amazed that most have not left.
But the mood right now is grim determination. One policeman said to me, how can there be peace without Justice? There must be justice first!
The country is at war, they are conducting themselves like a police action, but if the Arabs keep pushing the Jews will push back. Never Again means a lot to them.
Do I think about leaving? Well, no. I have to from time to time to renew my visa, and every time I leave I worry the war will start without me. But we Americans are crazy that way. We like justice and underdogs. Something about fighting for justice, and helping the underdog just gets us. Gets us in trouble a lot.
But is better than rolling over and playing dead like liberals do. I feel I am doing something important for a people that deserve my help. I respect Jews very much. They have earned that respect. I dislike Islamics very much, they have earned that dislike.
I would no more trust an Arab with a gun than a rattlesnake around a baby. But then Arabs cant help themselves any more than a snake can. It is a curse of God. They are as the bible describes them "a wild ass of a man, whos hand will be against every neighbor." Now with immigration, they are our neighbors at home too. Would not want to discriminate, lest we not have our fair quota of evil in our midst.
Reminds me of the liberals in Frisco voting in no hunting laws for mountain lions. In two years I was up to may arse in big kittys that hunted children for lunch. Wanted to take a truck load down to Fishermans warf and let them go. After all San Francisco bay was a natural preserve for lions before the Sierra Club set up its headquarters there, right? (Ever wonder why the Sierra Club did not set its HQ up in, say, the Sierras, or Arabs flock to live in Israel?)
Without the big picture of what God is doing here, I am amazed that most have not left. Maybe the secular Jews will leave so that the ones left will be those who will see the the glory of God active again on the behalf of His Chosen People. I just hope the liberal socialist Israeli's don't come here.....we have enough liberal socialists and want ours sent away......
But the mood right now is grim determination. A terrible way to live - but I respect and admire their determination. Something the thugs around the world will never conquer!
The country is at war, they are conducting themselves like a police action, but if the Arabs keep pushing the Jews will push back. Never Again means a lot to them. Yes, never ever again! I remember the "hot" wars in 67 and 73. Israel was on the brink of extinction, it seemed, though they triumphed in both wars - and it has been almost 30 years since the surrounding Arabs felt bold enough to try again. (a hot war). I don't think the surrounding Arab nations are that foolish to attack Israel today - but something will give them that boldness (perhaps America's demise?????) one day. And it will be God Himself coming to her defense. In the meantime - what horrors to have to live with these demonically inspired attacks!
I admire your determination to stay and help Israel and to fight if and when the time comes (?)
Yes, I respect Israel very much - what courage in the face of killers and the pressure! Share your likes and dislikes, though I have known Islamic people of good will - they certainly are not in ascendance in the ME.
The liberal presstitutes here are criticizing President Bush - and even Bibi said this today - for not finding an "alternative" to Arafat in the Palestinian leadership to work with? Who in the world would that be? I have never heard of anyone in the Palestinian leadership who would be any less in their anti-Israeli fanatacism??? Have you? Does such a person exist? If so, that person would not have a long life span - look at what you have reported about what is done to "collaboraters". They would be killed - so that is a stupid thing for Bibi or any of the liberal lala media to say.

Would not want to discriminate, lest we not have our fair quota of evil in our midst. Yes. Oh, here in NC the enviro crazies got the Grey wolf reintroduced down East......but, as you say, didn't move their headquarters into the Great Dismal Swamp or other areas near those habitats. If you ever decide to bring some mountain lions, let us in NC know and we will try to gather some grey wolves, and meet you at the Sierra Club headquarters to see if they'd like to hug a wolf or a m. lion while we watch!
