You dog, wait until a patriot missle gets stuck up your Russian anti-semitic ass.

Yes the Kornet & RPG 29 are good, lets see how you fare against Hellfire and TOW-2 with 34 year old (albeit up armoured T-72's). Even better than that, lets see how you deal with a resurgent Wermacht, with seriously heavily armoured panzers, Leapard II's. see you soon trotsky.

34. #7 "They just need rain" -- It's Israel not Maryland there.

What do you think, that those are some small pockets in a larger wooded areas? This is ALL there is as far as trees are concerned in that part of the world and it took the Israelis 60 years to create those green spaces out of nothing , but barren land. How long does it take a tree to grow out of the seed? How long will it take for the life to return to those woods? The barbarians are doing their best to turn the clock back to the times of barren hills. Pity. It so easy to destroy, so difficult to create.
35. let's be constructive about our trees
Mike Sassoon ,   Karkur Israel   (08.10.06)
As one who has enjoyed many a hike in Israel's forests, it is the saddest thing to see trees burned, especially in the knowledge that two out of three trees have been planted in this country. Anyone who has looked at photos of Israel in the early days of her life will testify to the barreness of the land then, denuded by generations of goats and indifference to the environment by some of the local Arabs. No matter, we set ourselves to the task and clothed it in green using public works programs to absorb thousands of penniless immigrants in the 50's and 60's. Today Hizballah rockets are trying to continue the work of the goats but we are battling them with firefighters and volunteers. Afters the fires are extinguished, let us turn a disaster into an opportunity by a modern repeat of the Public works programs and enlist the the people of the North who have have been made to leave their places of work, volunteers, the unemployed, even prison inmates to do something constructive instead of sitting around drowning in our sorrows. With enough political will, the right planning, foresight, selection of the most appropriate species, etc I believe that we, together with support from international Jewry and other friends of Israel, can rebuild these forests "better than the original" . To our enemies, the JNF forest is a symbol of Zionist Imperialism so what better way to answer them than by putting forth once again green shoots like a phoenix from the ashes?
