The Grass aint greener ,when you have a frozen Wiener (Weener?), The sun aint warmer where there is no shawarma ,missing my Falafel I Feel-aw-ful.
32. so much for the thick and thin
JL   (11.24.08)
as long as these parasites could suck the americans dry they stayed...now its tough so they whine about going home...the government will fund them for sure...instaed of those who could have left but stayed ...maybe there is a kernel of truth to the jewisdh stereotypes
33. 12: You are welcome to skip my tb's. Others appreciate my

insights and research.
34. Jobs Reuven, jobs!
Shiloh ,   sadlythegalut   (11.24.08)
First, Israelis had not be too arrogant as what has hit america will affect Israel also. I would love to return to Israel, but I need a job that supports a family. It's not so easy as just wishing to live in Israel. Been there, done that. It's easy to knock those who are down instead of dealing with the local problems, ie corruption and leftist idologies.
35. #5 Idols of thieves..
Edithann ,   USA   (11.24.08)
And those values for the returning Israeli's would be..'it's better to live on stolen property while the owners are over the wall and behind cages' then to live any place else without shame! Are you serious David? TATA
36. #33 Rivka, Actually Most of us ignore your TB's
meir elazar   (11.24.08)
Since you are a Messianic (mess for short). You are NOT a Jew and your opinion as to Jews and Israel is irrelevant. With the lessons of WW II (e.g. Voyage of the Damned - Spirit of St. Louis ship) we have learned that we must ONLY rely on ourselves. Secondly, you always have an answer even if you have no clue as to what the question is. You have not lived in Israel and do not have any personal or relevant knowledge of Israeli life. You have not served in the army. I have not walked the length and breadth of the country as we have visiting all of the places where our forefathers lived. You have not stood in Bakum or heard the screams of the Rasar. You have not lost a fortune in a Pichut. You have not seen friends and family after a terrorist attack. You do not understand the language or the culture. But somehow in your mind, you believe that you are an "Expert" on all matters and most of all have an opinion that you must express to those not in the least interested. There is a good reason G-d created man with 2 ears and 1 mouth. Spend more time listening and learning and less embarassing yourself with your idiotic writings.
37. It's called the Tannenbaum Syndrome

38. 36 Meir Elazar: You speak without knowledge of me at all,
Rivkah   (11.24.08)
so let me address each of your points. Messianic does not mean mess unless you blaspheme the Lord who sent his Son and will send his Son again at Armageddon to rescue the Jews who will be under attack from all the nations of the earth. You should back off on blaspheming your Lord who calls Jews His people and who defends Israel with Michael the Archangel, His Son, as the personal guardian of Israel for the Jews who are Jews in their hearts which you do not appear to be. I have lived in Israel three times for months at a time, so I am not clueless. I have spent six decades reading and studying the Bible, so I am not clueless there, either. My family has served in the US Army, National Guard, and US Navy, and US Air Force for every generation since the American Revolution in the late 1700's, including me. I have two Honorable Discharges from the US Navy and US Navy Ready Reserves where I worked UNPAID in a Volunteer Training Unit, inspecting Navy ships to protect personnel from noncompliance to regulations in the medical departments. If I had not volunteered my time (I was the only female Medical Service Corps officer in the Navy in America inspecting dispensaries on Navy ships at the time)...if I had not volunteered my time, US sailors would have been given outdated antibiotics for infections and injuries since a third of the medicines I checked were outdated and needed to be replaced. Maybe the meds would have been effective anyway, but I wanted the sailors to have the best since they give their best and work 16 hours a day when at sea, pal. I am an Emeritus (retired) member of Marquis Who's Who in America which is by invitation only to a half per cent of the US public for public service. I have known personal tragedies such as my mother being raped by a German national after World War II in Heidelberg which robbed her of her happiness for the rest of her life, but at least she survived the attack. Maybe that is not a terrorist attack to you, but it was to her and her children. My family has suffered the loss of nearly all things in the Great Depression, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, eminent domain thefts of property, the misuse of authority to falsely accuse me because of hatred of Jews which the Lord avenged. I have been raped as a child, as a teenager, and as an adult. A policeman who hated Jews tried to kill me in 2006 and then came back a week later to try to kill my husband. I know all about the misuse of authority and how the government protects criminals on the police department. I now carry an 800,000 volt stun gun which stops an attack instantly. My house is shuttered on the inside with rolling metal shutters on the inside of every window and door that leads to the outside because there have been so many attacks on Jews in America and people consider my husband and me to be Jews, but YOU do not. YOU pretend to be an expert on me and you know nothing of me or my life or the prejudice my husband has faced for keeping his Jewish birth father's name even though that father could not support him or keep him with him because he lived in a home for incurables in Chicago. My husband was raised by a "Christian" stepfather who made hima Cinderfella housekeeper and babysitter and raped him. You pig. You are not worthy of the name Jew. My husband and I are worthy of the name Jews in our hearts and the persecutions we have suffered have won us many crowns and rewards in heaven. We have such a massive bank on account in heaven, we have walked away from fatal accidents caused by others many times. The insurance adjusters who look at the demolished vehicles cannot believe anyone survived. You are welcome to skip my tb's. You are unworthy of my time and attention and insights and research, you pig.
39. 36 Meir: If you ignore my tb's, why are you commenting?

40. Who are the Pigs?
Shlomo Silverstein ,   Maale Adumim   (11.24.08)
In truth the Messianic Jews are the pigs. Chazal tell us that the pig is unique amongst animals in that it has split hooves but does not chew the cud and is therefore treif (not kosher). The pig sticks it's split hooves out and says "Look at me! I'm kosher, I'm kosher!!!" but it's a lie. Just like the Missionaries. They have nice Jewish names. Use nice Jewish words but when you look inside they are as treif as that pig!
41. Israel - Please help them get back!!!
D   (11.24.08)
42. 36 Meir: You know how I got onto US Navy ships to inspect
Rivkah   (11.24.08)
them when women were not allowed on ships way back when? Some US Marine friends at the Marine Museum at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego got me an invitation to the Current Strategy Forum in Newport, Rhode Island, at which corporate and government leaders and other notables discuss position papers for the US President. There I met the Chief of the Naval Reserves, an Admiral Palmer, who expedited my request to inspect infirmaries and dispensaries on ships. There was a lot of resistance because women were considered to be spies back then. The fear was that the lack of compliance with the Manual of the Medical Department would be exposed and corrected. They were right. Non-compliance was exposed and corrected, at least on my watch. That was decades ago. The enemies who did not like being exposed attacked and forced me to leave the Navy Ready Reserves with an Honorable Discharge. Women who followed have no idea what the sacrifices were in getting them a toe-hold on ships.
43. weird
anon ,   israel   (11.24.08)
rivkah, yourlife has been unreal and almost hard to believe as true! Everyone can voice opinions and we should read and respond. The pig part made me re think you- that was a mistake. Not that I agree with your philosophies, but you are certainly allowed them. But to name call-no.
44. someone here needs to increase the dosage of prozac
JL ,   israel   (11.24.08)
45. Israelis who want to return home from USA
DR P. GOLDSTEIN ,   GREAT NECK, NY   (11.24.08)
What motivated the Israelis to come here was essentially to make money. Must Israelis bail out the greed of those who came to the USA, and are now in dire situations? I say NO.
46. i guess that sums it all up in a nutshell
JL ,   israel   (11.24.08)
47. Help them out.
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (11.24.08)
USA is not the Golden Land afterall like many american jews will tell you. Its all about money. This might be G-Ds way of bringing back our nation so we can be strong. Worshipping phony idols in usa is not the answer. Help them as nobody is perfect in this world.
48. #44 Amen to that!!!
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (11.24.08)
49. As soon as economy turns around they'll run back to the US
dr. dave ,   usa   (11.24.08)
50. 45 Israel is going to become one of the wealthiest most
Rivkah   (11.24.08)
prosperous nations on earth. Maybe then Israel can help America in addition to returning Jews who can't make it in America.
51. 43 anon: Better for me to call a pig a pig than for the Lord
Rivkah   (11.24.08)
to rebuke him for blaspheming His son and Messianic Jews who are persecuted for being Jews as well as persecuted by Jews for being Messianic. Yehoshua the Rabbi told King Herod he was a "fox" which is worse than a pig. Truth is lovely. To you truth is not lovely because you do not want to hear what is true. You want to hear lies. You want people who are pigs to be called fantastic. Baloney.
52. pig
anon   (11.24.08)
how dare you assume to know what I want? How dare you to say I think him fantastic. You are full of anger and no religion willhelp. How sad that there are such mean people. How can you throw out nasty rude words? Do not compare yourself to King Herod. Shame
53. Israe;is returning home
Draco ,   Paterson USA   (11.25.08)
Great! These parasites come here and suck America dry, then they flee back to Israel with the spoils. Is it any wonder why Jews are so reviled wherever they go? Maybe there's a reason for that, and it's not "anti-semitism".
54. i'm suppose to think about this nonsense?
David ,   Montreal Canada   (11.25.08)
I'd like to tell our friends in America you live the high life while others toil ! now you come like a beggar when the tower of idols fall,pleading for the fruits of my labor ? speak to your Idols and think of us who work and have faith I hear winters get cold in USA these days shalom
55. Israelis go home!
Rocky ,   Monterey, California   (11.25.08)
The ones returning home because they cannot make it probably could not find any goy with money to rip off to support themselves. Israel can have them.
56. Rats abandoning a sinking ship
Bryant ,   Presidio, Texas, USA   (11.25.08)
Don't let the door hit you in the azz
57. anti semitism
Ilana   (11.25.08)
All you guys find excuses to say nasty things about Jews the moment the opportunity arises. But you all use cell phones, Icq, windows, pentium microprocessors, voice mail, diagnostic procedures for breast cancer, indigestable camera to detect disease early, device to help the heart pump blood and the list goes on and on. SO look at the positve things us dirty jews have accomplished you idiots. Check out also not to go to Jewish doctors surgeons and lawyers. Don't watch hollywood movies as most of the producers are Jewish and forget- Jesus was a jew here in Israel, and he loved his Jewish mother, Miriam.
58. Jews want to return to Israel
paula revere ,   USA   (11.25.08)
I am a Jew........If I had a 100$ to send them all to Israel that wanted to return I'd give it in a NY minute.Get the hell out! And take the rest of the damn immigrants with you! 50 years we need to close the borders so we can fix our own messes. If I can't feed my own family, I damn sure can't feed yours!
59. Jewish need money to return to Israel
rich ,   pittsburgh, pa, usa   (11.25.08)
if they can't afford a plane ticket, they really must have lost the shirts off their backs !!!!!! i'd rather give them the money rather than the bankers !!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-t7PmonBEA goldieshouse.piczo.com
60. nasty
Ilana   (11.25.08)
Horrible. I hope one day you won;t end up knocking on Israel's doors, like Jews from all over the world. We also can hardly feed our families, I deal with missiles on a daily basis. But believe me, I buy extra flour, sugar and goods and always give them in secret to the oraganizations that help new immigrants who have not found a job. I would never say:get out"! It is sad how mean people are. Such viscousness. Easy to do that anonamously huh? Shame on you. My sons risk their lives to keep this country so diaspora jews will have somewhere to run to one day. Shame on you.
