What we need to do is get America to get Israel to stop doing this shit, and it's over.

According to a radio news story I just heard, the World Health Organization is estimating that there will be 900,000 Lebanese people displaced by the end of the day due to Israel's dirty little war.

Israel is considering an invasion by massive ground forces, and refuses to stop until Hezbollah is completely disarmed.

I grew up learning about the history of the people of Israel (Am Yisrael) and the country of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), and I was led to believe that they were one and the same. But groups like Neturei Karta (Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism) seem to offer a different view -- that there should be no country of Israel until the Messiah shall establish it.

Perhaps Jews do deserve a country after the Holocaust. But I think Germany would have been a more appropriate choice than Palestine. And I think that Israel has lost any claim on the world's sympathy.

I don't have any solutions. I don't know what I want. But I think that GWB's advice to others would be a pretty good idea for the Israeli government and military: Stop doing that shit. And maybe we shouldn't have sold them all those weapons.

There is an irony in having the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock co-located like that.

(and you are not wrong, btw. The West Bank and the Golan Heights were seized by Israel after Egypt/Syria launched a surprise attack with the intention of wiping them off of the map. They won't be given back any time soon due to the strategic importance of the land in defending the rest of Israel. When you see any reference to the '1967 borders', that's what they are talking about.]

Indeed, God is an iron.
