1. Jews who get evicted during this next convergence
Jenny ,   NYC   (05.23.06)
should ALL move to Jerusalem. Yehuda and Shomron are important but we know we can't keep them and are not nearly as important as Jerusalem.
2. re #1

jerusalem is the next area to be "disengaged". whoever goes to settle in jerusalem will be evicted by a later israeli government .
3. re #2
Jenny   (05.23.06)
Yes, some E. Jerusalem suburbs will be "disengaged" but not the old city or W. Jerusalem.
4. #1
yaakov ,   judea   (05.23.06)
The reason for the attempt to throw my family off our land rests with your galut rabbis jennie, and the lack of aliyah period
5. Jenny's comment
Jeffrey Benedix ,   Gainesville, Florida   (05.24.06)
Jenny, why don't you get off your comfortable butt and move to Jerusalem if you care so much??? I'll be moving to Israel next March
6. Declare Israel a JEWISH state, others can live there, not
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (05.24.06)
vote, not raise Israeli citizens. G-d gave Israel to the Jews, not to anyone else, especially terrorist fifth columnists.
7. #5 if life were that easy
Jenny ,   NYC   (05.24.06)
I would love to move to Israel, believe my, however my husband (who has lived there before) has other ideas. Such is life. I visit a lot at least. #4 Galut rabbis LOL. The "attempt to throw" your family off the land is a result of Israelis voting in Kadima. I would've voted for Leiberman myself or someone like Sharansky, had he run. He was probably too honest and good of a man to win an Israeli election. I NEVER would've voted for Olmert. However, this is what happened and the "convergence" plan is going to happen. There is no way you can stop it so I don't know what to tell you. You have not convinced the left-wingers or even the moderates in Israel that Yehuda and Shomron are important. It is too late. Here in the US we have our own left-wing fringe that we must deal with and we do our best to show just how crazy they really are. In Israel, the left-wing elite rules the roost and are embraced and the right-wing has does nothing to combat that. In the end they were successful in making you and the settlers look crazy and making Machsom Watch and Peace now groups look moderate and normal. In the post-Oslo era you would've thought that was impossible. Don't ask me how they did it b/c those groups are definitely crazy and delusional. Shulamit Aloni is as much an enemy as Hamas. Good luck next time. If you cannot marginalize those left-wing nutjobs then sooner or later there will be no Israel. They must be stopped. The settler civil war idea, however, is not the answer. You must show the rest of the Israelis with words and not violent actions. Jew on Jew violence will never work. Amona was horrible and stupid and for the same reason the settler civil war idea is stupid, perhaps even dumber b/c you have no chance of winning. Move to Ariel or one of the big settlements or Jerusalem. And remember sideline those liberal idiots and showcase their crazy tendencies.
8. Jerusalem to be internationalize
Juke ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.24.06)
Sharon/Olmert have agreed to internationalize the entire Jerusalem. UN and US forces will patrol Jerusalem. oh, the entire Yehuda and Shomron will also be given up if Olmert has way. Watch out Tel Aviv, the missiles won't stop.
9. Jerusalem
leah amdur ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.24.06)
85000 in the haredi school system. Most neighborhoods are becoming mitchared. They are turning haredi. BH there is nothing to worry about Jews deminishing in Jerusalem, the haredim are growing and growing in Israel. We are having twins and triplets and Hashem is blessing us. Hitler yemach semamam and the arab martyrs in gehinnom are in torment over this
10. to Bunnie Meyer
Scott ,   USA   (05.24.06)
god gave the jews Jesus too...I find it somewhat odd how Jews accept the first covenant of god, but not the new covenant...to truly follow god, you must accept ALL of his actions to us, the followers
11. Don't you mean 39 years....????!!!!
mike ,   rishon le zion   (05.24.06)
12. To #10 Scott
Micha ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.24.06)
You want us Jews to worship a man. That sounds like idolatry to me. The man that you are referring to was a nice Jewish boy, but he was no god. I completely reject your so called new testament as an abomination.
