I need more than the remembrance of Treblinka to do that. Perhaps I am too pragmatic.....but if Israel wants the ongoing commitment from a new generation I think some of us need to be educated. You are my friend Billy and I would never want to upset you by asking these questions...but I have to tell you, I just dont understand it..
Christians can go back in history and detail atrocities and slaughter that accompanies their struggles, I dont remember the last time we engaged in war and told the world we deserve to win because of the crusades...see what I mean???

well sweetheart
to roll it up in one short statement, we are tired of being treated like a used condom and won't take it anymore, the line has been drawn in the sand.
damn here i go again. forget the religious part of the argument, it is about autonomy. the right of a jewish state, the right to settle in the homeland they were run out of thousands of years ago and they spread to the four winds. if you want our land so bad, you are going to bleed and die for it.
