... I would find myself a comfortable spot by the fence and watch those black hatted modestly wrapped freaks finishing what they started ,...

As a secular I think this is an an abomination, when will this Mayor admit he is trying too hard to remake this 4,000 year old sacred city into a Disneyland to impress his friends in the non Jewish world to leave "his mark" for history as he sees it, his insensitivity to all things of faith are appalling despite his occasional kippa He has even turned the historic Jerusalem Railroad Station into Meretz Headquarters he has an agenda lets stop it before he goes too far ! Simple NEW MAYOR ASAP

by what moral or legal right should they have say in ANYTHING this country embarks upon(unless it directly involves rituals, dances, prayers, smoke & mirrors of their occult practice)?!

and let Israel be a Jewish state as it was meant to be?

What right do you think you have defiling the Jewish land with lawless and Godlessness?

UNITED and learn from- instead of rejecting -each other to build an AM EHAD strong and unbeatable.

Both, stay out of Europe or anywhere or wait for invitation ,...

I have a good idea-If you don't put on a uniform and fight for Israel you don't have any thing to say!

street. It cannot be otherwise. Sorry, it's like saying: "why can't we live in peace with Islam"? Because it wants no peace. Religion wants no infidels. We undermine the doctrine(s). simple and painful.

surrounded by murderous enemies have no other way , than to be united and strong to survive?

therefore there is no reason to try and turn Jerusalem into Disneyland. (SideBar: and what's up with that silly hanging star of David off of the even sillier phallic bridge at the entrance to the city?)

Sounds fair enough to me, Sam Cohen from New York. And while we're at it, since you too don't put on a uniform and fight for Israel, you too do not have anything to say!

To the Haredim-before you start telling the rest of us how to live our lives I suggest that you serve in the army and start paying taxes.

survive & be strong we need a competent military force, not the "help" of haredim & their Imaginary Friend. Tradition and Judaism are important in the long run, but right now it's "guns & bullets". Once we defeat the Ishmael we'll have our hands full with each other, trust me. THEN we'll need all the goodwill we can muster.

to believe in miracles.if i remember well these are Ben Gurion's words. Guns and bullets without strategy will not get you very far.We need G-D's help to take the right decisions on the right place on the right time.Let us be honest,indeed.

initials :-). Were I hat bloke you call "G.D." I wouldn't like my name to be known either and that's out of pure shame, but that's another story. What "miracles" are you fantasizing about?! For my family murdered by the Germans the "miracle" of Israel came too late and so it has been for the past 2000-plus years for Jews all over. G.D. being well...not human, operates obviously on a different scale: plus/minus 6 mil., plus/minus 2000 years, oh what the heck..! "Helping making right decisions"!!? Please prove/disprove that it is not ME doing that to YOU right now.(I guide your hand while you type your T.B's, swear to G.D. I do!!! ) BTW: there's no "strategy" in this Universe, but that's for another semester.

during 3000 years, being the target of mass murderers, aiming to eradicate her from the world ,survived and got back the to her promised Land ... What is that,if not a miracle? Anyway,to benefit from G-D's protection,one must connect with Him through keeping the Tora laws. The same"lehavdil" as to benefit from Internet,you have to follow the rules and be connected. Regarding the importance of strategy...acting without thinking first about ALL the eventual consequences does that work for you? About the shame of a name.. why not change your name in an Israeli name,like many Olim Hadashim do? I think you are a very honest guy since you prefer to omit to write a name,than to sign with a fake name like most of TBers do. Have nice and meaningful dreams and make them come true with G-D's help.Tnat is what i wish you from all my heart
