I am terrified at what is going on between Israel and Lebanon and Palestine. When someone kidnaps a couple of soldiers, is this a reason to bomb TV stations and airports? Suppose a bunch of bearded Muslims landed in say Kansas or Rhode Island or Colorado, and said “Everyone out. We are authorized by the United Nations to take this territory, throw you out, and as a matter of fact since you have nowhere to go, we’re going to place you in detention camps. Matters not whether you own your property, have a deed to it, and your family has owned it for over a thousand years, get the hell out. Don’t like it? The United nations has decreed, and we’re going to bring all our families in, and Muslims from around the world. We’ll show you how to care for land.” What would you do? What would all of America do? That’s correct. You’d fight till your dying days to take your land back. You’d do anything you could do to destroy the invaders, no matter how long it took, or how much it cost. Now skip the fact that the Israelites had the land before the Palestinians. That was thousands of years ago. Skip the fact that the Jews have taken the land the United Nations gave them, and made it a fertile, prosperous land. That has nothing to do with it. The United Nations, with the blessing of America and most of the world, plunked the Jews down in the midst of their sworn enemies, and thought it would all work out O.K. It never will.
The mid east crisis, played over and over again, like a repeating record, will continue on endlessly, and I know of no way to make it work. It can’t work. Will it result in WW III? Would there be an Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc “problem,” if Israel had been plunked down in Africa? Nope. The Jews have always over-reacted, and been brutal towards their enemies, but the same could be said of their enemies too. No one wants them there except the United Nations and the Jews themselves. Could they be moved out, since it is obviously a huge mistake? Not likely. What’s the solution? I don’t think there is one. It would be better if the Jews left the land they conquered in previous wars, but what nation has ever done that? They did Leave Gaza, and the Palestinians started shooting rockets at them almost immediately. They left Lebanon, and Hezbollah started launching rockets, and now kidnapping. That wasn’t a nice way for them to act, when they got back the land they wanted, was it? So the Jews go in and bomb Palestine’s single power plant, and Lebanon’s airports, highways, and infrastructure, which isn’t very nice either. There is no solution, other than taking the Jews and planting them somewhere else, which is away from their enemies, and that will never happen. It will do no good to point fingers at who is the nastiest, most brutal, or who over-reacts. It is a hopeless situation, created by the U.N. 60 years ago. A United Nations we should have never joined, should get out of immediately, and which organization should be thrown out of America pronto. Maybe that would help. Have a great weekend.
