4. Resistor
(05.24.10)
Based on this and your previous puerile rantings, one can only conclude that what you might be trying to "resist" is an overwhelming urge to stick your head up your ass. And quite unsuccessfully, I might add.
5. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
Boy, you really HAVE been living under a rock. Or in a meth-induced haze. Haven't you heard? Oil is yesterday's news. It's all about natural gas these days. And guess which country sits on the world's second-largest pool of natural gas? Yep. That's right. Israel. Right off the coast of Haifa. You really should lay off the drugs. Not good for you. No doubt about that.
6. As always ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
we were there. What a joyous occasion! Just imagine -- not a single person screaming "death" to anyone. No one's face hidden behind a kefiyeh. No posters clamoring for the destruction of the State of Israel. No one dressed up as a suicide bomber. Just a lot of happy people, strolling along Fifth Avenue, enjoying and taking in the rather happy celebration of one brave country that has overcome so much. Such a refreshing change from Palestinian demonstrations. Why am I not surprised? More importantly, why am I so grateful for the difference? It really was a beautiful and wondrous day. The best part: well, it's a toss-up. The faces of the marchers is one. The outpouring of support for Israel -- and not just from Jews -- being the other. And the weather was glorious.
7. Thank you all for that!
suboss ,   Givatayim, Israel   (05.24.10)
8. Now everybody, let's spit on them!
John ,   Europe   (05.24.10)
"Oh, they are not Jewish, they do not tie teffilin, they mix meat and milk!!! They are filthy Reformed scum, there are mere Goyim!" "Oh, they are arm chair leftists, member of Obama bin Ladin state, Arab lovers, who will not tell us what we will do in our homeland!" ... "And, oh, yes, guys... please do not forget to send money to us?"
9. Natural gas
Resistor   (05.24.10)
Sarah, I had the misfortune in the 1980's to be in the same train carriage in England as a large group of haredi families. Don't tell me about natural gas! It was disgusting! Does your gas-guzzler in NY run on natural gas by the way???

12. Enjoy it while it lasts
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
13. TO MR.JOHN IN EUROPE: YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (05.24.10)
WHY ARE YOU STATING MERELY THE CONTINENT UNDER WHO'S ROCK YOU CRAWLED FROM? WHY NOT TELL WHICH COUNTRY? OR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU TAKE PRIDE IN? MERELY A 'CITIZEN OF THE WORLD'? OR A 'MEMBER OF HUMANITY'? IT'S PEOPLE WITH THE VAGUE TERMS AND THEIR WARPED SENSE OF RELATIVITY WHO ARE BOTH THE SYMPTOM AND THE PROBLEM. NO LOVE FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE. JUST HATRED AND INTOLERANCE. UNDER THE GUISE OF BEING A 'HUMANIST', OF COURSE. GET A LIFE. PEOPLE NEED TO GET OFF THE FENCE AND DECIDE WHICH SIDE THEY ARE ON. LIFE OR DEATH? COME TO TERMS WITH THESE FACTS: THERE IS A G-D, HE BLESSED US WITH THE LAND OF ISRAEL AND ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO STRIKE AGAINST IT WILL BE IN DEEP DEEP TROUBLE.
14. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
Are you a professional cretin, or did you just put it on for us on this one occasion? Either way, you're a complete idiot. Have a really nice day.
15. natural gas?
handala ,   jerusalem,palestine   (05.24.10)
its not even israel that owns the natural gas, it doesnt belong to the israelis, just like the oil of the gulf states its in the arab lands but belongs to USA and Israel fueling their tanks to kill in iraq,afganistan, palestine and many more places around the world, the natural gas in haifa belongs to palestinians, such natural gas is found in gaza shores also but guess what israel taking over it also, so its all about stealing since 1948 started by stealing the land and now stealing natural resources plus stealing the rest of the land. the image will change soon
16. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
Wrong. The natural gas field off Haifa -- all five trillion cubic feet of it -- belongs to Israel. Put that in your smoke and pipe it.
17. No, Sarah, cretin is YOU, who do not understand irony!
John ,   Europe   (05.24.10)
Maybe you did not pay attention but it is almost a trend here to spit on Jewishness of American Jews, who are about 95% Reformed. Hence, I was merely making irony upon the fact that all for sudden, there there will be maybe 20 talkbacks here and - guess what, I don't think somebody will say "THANK YOU, GUY! WE LOVE YOU, THANKS FOR BEING GOOD FRIENDS!" But, I forgive you - I do not think you are on my level with your wording and your intelligence. A person who does not recognize a plain irony - you can even see I put " ", so that should have given you a clue - is just not on my level. Toda, lehitraot.
18. Don’t forget to think of others,
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.24.10)
As you prepare your breakfast – think of others. Don’t forget to feed the pigeons. As you conduct your wars – think of others. Don’t forget those who want peace. As you pay your water bill – think of others. Think of those who only have clouds to drink from. As you go home, your own home – think of others – don’t forget those who live in tents. As you sleep and count the planets, think of others – there are people who have no place to sleep. As you liberate yourself with metaphors think of others – those who have lost their right to speak. And as you think of distant others – think of yourself and say “I wish I were a candle in the darkness.” Mahmoud Darwish Sorry, I don''t mean to spoil your enjoyment (I know that it will not affect you), but this is my contribution on this occasion ;)
19. # 16 : But Haifa is a Palestinian and arabic city? Name?
Jazz   (05.24.10)
20. ah how nice to see all the crap posted on this site.

22. Thank you

23. its always amazing ...
gays4israel ,   the free world   (05.24.10)
to see blue and white in NYC of course we will be marching as we do every year for gay and lesbian jews at this years gay pride as well
24. SALMA, ARE YOU TRYING TO USE OUR JEWISH GUILT AGAINST US?
(05.24.10)
WE HAVE NO REASON TO FEEL GUILTY. THE CHRISTIANS HAVE MANY NATIONS THEY CAN CALL HOME. THE BUDDISTS, HINDUS, AND EVEN THOSE WHO PRACTICE VOO DOO HAVE PLACES THAT THEY CAN CALL HOME. THE MUSLIMS HAVE 22 NATIONS. WE SHOULD FEEL NO GUILT WHATSOEVER FOR OUR ONE AND ONLY HOMELAND. WE WILL BE TAKE PRIDE IN IT, WE WILL CELEBRATE IT AND WE WILL DEFEND IT. GET OVER IT. WE ARE HERE TO STAY. THIS LAND IS OUR LAND, THIS LAND IS OUR LAND. FROM THE LAND OF JORDAN TO THE STRIP OF AZA. FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA. THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR THE YEHUDI.
25. I am ASHAMED as an American (NYer) Jew
sarah ,   new york   (05.24.10)
This sort of thing completely ignores the daily life of Palestinians under occupation. Instead of praising ourselves, how about some healthy self-criticism? Ugh....
26. Sarah in New York:
(05.24.10)
Your parents (or grandparents) were probably ashamed the day Israel became a state in 1948. It's not your fault you were brought up ignorant and devoid of any kind of Jewish education, short of the Reform 'temple' that you may have gone to.
27. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
Stuff it, Salma. You people have no right to complain about being hungry when you just burned about $10 million worth of food. You people have consistently bitten the hand that feeds you. You people have consistently attacked and villified the ONLY people that have ever cared about you. That would be the Israelis. And now -- you want me to feel sorry about you? After sixty-two years of terror? After all that violence? Pretty nervy of you, I must say. Let your brother Arabs assume the role. (Good luck with that, by the way.) Me, frankly, I could care less. You're nothing but a burr in my saddle. The faster you're gone, the better.
28. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.10)
No, it isn't. Haifa is an Israeli city. Trust I've addressed your question.
29. #25 - I agree 100%!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (05.24.10)
quote:"...completely ignores the daily life of Palestinians under occupation." Yes, it does. However, the Jews can't do anything about the Islamist Fanatics who keep the Pales. people so oppressed. One day, I hope the Pales. people will be strong enough to throw off their fanatical overlords and put in some Pales. leaders who will care more about the Pales. people's welfare. So yes, the Pales. people should make their daily lives better by throwing off the occupation, and oppression, of their leaders. quote: "Instead of praising ourselves, how about some healthy self-criticism?" I thought you were Jewish? The Jews I know have self-criticism nailed. No problem. You can't be Jewish then. Actually, the Pales. leaders are not known for any self-criticism, healthy or not. They've been blaming Israel for all their problems while not seeing how they, the leaders, exploit the Pales. people. So, yes - the Pales. leaders could use a very healthy dose of self-criticism.

I did NOT compose that vile post at No. 12. Please delete it. At a minimum, if you will not delete it, please post this note in order that readers will know that I am not the author of the post at No. 12. Thank you. Sarah
