61. #8 No puzzle - just historical facts.
DR ,   UK   (11.30.10)
The name "Palestine" is the 'anglicised' term for "Syria Palaestina", the name given by the Romans when they defeated the kingdoms of Israel & Judah in AD135. A name given to utterly remove any Jewish connection from the territory, when Jerusalem was simultaneously renamed "Aelia Capitolina". From that time even to the rebirth of the Jewish State in 1948 a Jewish presence STILL remained in the Land despite the area being conquered by numerous foreign occupiers. After the Roman occupation ending in 330AD, the region that eventually became known as "Palestine" was then occupied by numerous empires; Byzantines (330-638AD), Arabs (Fatimids & Abbasids), and Turks (Seljuks) (638-1099AD), Crusaders (1099-1291AD), Mamluks (1291-1516AD), Ottomans (1516-1917AD), British (1917-1948AD). Israel was reborn in 1948 and exists to the present day. "Palestine" itself has NEVER existed as a 'sovereign' nation with it's own people, culture and capital city. Until 1948 it was just a regional land occupied by foreign empires. The Palestinians have no history so are trying their best to create one in order to justify their own claims to the land and to denigrate the 3000+ year Jewish history and their legitimate claim. No Torah, no puzzle, just historical facts.

"ELECTRICITY DONT MIX WITH WATER. " They mix very well actually. There is very little resistance to them mixing.
63. #38 & #42
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.30.10)
I have had Muslims, Christians and Haridim for neighbors. One of my current neighbors is gay and I am helping them with a construction project in their yard. They wanted to pay me, but that is not how I was raised. I help my neighbors and usually have little to no issues regardless of whatever group they fall in. That's just how I like to live. Peace is the best way to live and to hate somebody because they are part of a 'grouping' is stupid and a waste of time and energy. Getting too damn old for hatred.
64. #18 - wonder how response was in 1999
William ,   Israel   (12.01.10)
before the intifada that killed scores of civilians, and Arabs inside Israel that rallied against the State, caused mayhem, and basically treason. I wonder, dear Jake, would you be willing to live next to a population that not only questioned your State's right to exist but your place in it should they gain power? Pretty sure if they felt violent towards you, you wouldn't respond by living in their neighborhood and visiting them with a coffee cake. Although, in your self-centered idealistic world, you might not see it that way.
