Open Letter From An Israeli

Dear World,
 
I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?) Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the "brutal repression of the Palestinians"; yesterday it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.
 
Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you. We upset a German people who elected Hitler and upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset. We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us.
 
For centuries, we upset a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit. And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish state.The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you and thus love you - and have you love us? And so we decided to come home - to the same homeland from which we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.
 
Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please. Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.
 
Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel. In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron.
 
Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929. Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967? And when you, world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that "upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?
 
The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who - when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not "repress" them.
 
Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.
 
And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well - think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

First of all, if I were a Jew, I would ask myself why over 1 billion Muslims fervantly hate me (a population a hundred times more populous than the Jews).
 
It seems to me that Germany is quite a small country if you compares it to the Muslims nations of today.
 
Have you ever heard the radio talk show of Mickel Savage? He is a Jew, and if you listen to TalkRadioNetwork, you can hear him called Europeans "perverts", simply because they are not religious fanatics. That remark, about all Europeans being perverts can be heard almost every 10 minutes day in and day out at TalkRadioNetwork.com.
 
Listen to TalkRadioNetwork. It is full of Jews who loves to hate the rest of the world. Jews do not represent 1% of the world population, but their influence is out of proportions.
 
If the USA and Israel continue to act the way they do, Nazi Germany could be a joke compared to what may happen to them.
 
When one billions Muslims will become Kamikaze (suicide bombings), it will be the end for USA and Israel.

Open Letter To MidEast War Criminals And A Reply To Ariel Ben Attar

This guy must be the speech writer for the Butcher of Beirut - as he tries to rationalize and justify all the war crimes that the MAD DOG is ordering.
 
Someone should remind him that two wrongs don't make a right. Maybe he should be reminded of the wisdom King Solomen showed in the old Bible story of "just who's baby is it"? Couple that with the rationalization of nuking Hiroshimo in that it ended a war early and saved lots of lives, and let him and Sharon and Arafat ponder the power of a neutron bomb.
 
The only problem is that they are hiding behind all the sane Israelis and Palestinians in the area, using them as human shields. They could care less about the "Collateral Damage". Maybe it's about time that those feuding half-brothers, the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael, realized that the rest of the "world" doesn't want to get dragged into a WORLD WAR because the criminally-bent ones in power got their big noses out of joint.
 
You sons of bitches better hope that the "Secong Coming" happens soon to save your sorry asses, especially since you are now desecrating the Christian Community and Holy Places with your foolishness.
