ABOUT ISRAEL

You know, every now and again I come across a snippet of information that just sets me off. Sometimes I just keep the seething anger inside or if I am so inclined, I open my mouth and boy, oh boy - provoking rage in others is not a good idea.

ahhhh... but I'm feeling like a righteous provocateur at the moment - how does one stifle a "right" question or a "right" challenge? Sometimes it's nearly impossible to resist....especially when it comes to human speculation.
I can't really comment too much on the Torah, the Bible or the Q'uran (Haven't read them all-contradiction gives me a major migraine)- the hypocrisy of the many meddling "Holymen" is obvious and rather nauseating, to say the least.

Here we go:

1. And God said"........"
a) Who is it that said "God said" , yeah okay explain that one - of course no one can. So we're back to faith yet again. Hmmmm.

2. Women?
b) Lets see...okay "Humble and holy Israel" - tell me this : Why are women shunned for praying at the "Wall"?..."Jewish orthodoxy held that women's voices must be silent"(http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/WOW.html)
Oh kind and holy people, please tell me why you think that this is okay? "A group of approximately one hundred women who attended the conference went to pray at the Kotel, where they were disrupted by verbal and physical assaults by the ultra-Orthodox men and women." (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/WOW.html)
c) Don't pretend that women are equal to men, because evidently - they NOT.

3. Where is your humility?
c) Feigning humility is really cheap and so is provoked persecution.

So if the US didn't give you Ohhhh about 7 million (holy moley) a day - do you think that God would swoop down and protect the "chosen ones"?....Wait a minute, WHO was it that said that "God said" that you were chosen?

Or would you use that same "...and God said..." stuff in the Torah aka - Old Testament to incur guilt and shame from the world.

Why do you get approximately 7 million dollars a day? Especially when there are people here in this very country losing homes and jobs daily.

Why do we need to keep supporting your country?

For the record, I'm Jewish. This post isn't about being Jewish, it's about a country using the so called "Jew gene" (whatever that might be) to get money and support for reasons that I can't quite get a grip on.

The word of "God" ......from "Who's" perspective?

I wonder if the mysterious "Who" of the Old testament took some Peyote by accident?

After all, we figured out that the oracle of Delphi was actually getting stoned on the gas seeping out of the rocks in her little perch.

How come when I did acid (many, many moons ago) and then hallucinated about God -sure did. How come, I can't add my story to the Bible?

Do we give you 7 million dollars a day so that you can do this:


Do you honestly believe that we will blindly and forevermore support a cause with double standards and hypocrisy? I hate to tell you this but, people (including Jews) are starting to question the integrity of Israel's cause.

Some interesting tidbits that I've picked up, along the way (with the source, BTW):

NOTE: So why in the world would anyone be pissed off about this?

1. (10-05) 04:00 PST Jerusalem -- In Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse, and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet....Amy Teibel, Associated Press, Sunday, October 5, 2008 (www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2008/10/04/MN44139JL8.DTL)

2. "123 Israeli children have been killed by Palestinians and 1,050 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000." (source: http://www.rememberthesechildren.org/remember2008.html)

3. A November 2008 Washington Report article “A Conservative Estimate of Total Direct U.S. Aid to Israel: $118 Billion,” by Shirl McArthur, puts the cumulative total even higher.(Source: http://www.wrmea.com/archives/june2003/0306020.html)

4. Israel currently has 223 Jewish-only settlements and ‘outposts’ built on confiscated Palestinian land. Palestinians do not have any settlements on Israeli land.( Source:http://www.peacenow.org.il/site/en/peace.asp?pi=61&docid=2575&pos=0)

5.“Our position on settlements, I think, has been very consistent, very clear. The secretary expressed it not too long ago. He said settlement activity has severely undermined Palestinian trust and hope, preempts and prejudges the outcome of negotiations, and in doing so, cripples chances for real peace and prosperity. The U.S. has long opposed settlement activity and, consistent with the report of the Mitchell Committee, settlement activity must stop.”Mr. Richard Boucher, U.S. Department of State –Daily Press Briefing -- November 25, 2002(Source: http://www.cmep.org/documents/settlements.htm)

NOTE: HUH?
