I will never change my mind about the utter hopelessness of the Israel situation. You Biblical scholars know, as do I, that Israel was there first, but being practical, so what? The Indians were in America first, and the Aborigines were in Australia first. Interpreting Biblical history and prophecy is opinion, and varies from religion to religion, and isn’t accepted by the dispossessed Palestinians. Being that as it may, look at the present war going on between Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah started it by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers. Hamas started it by doing the same thing in Gaza. Absolutely correct as to who started it and who is the innocent party. But did the Palestinian power plant kidnap the soldiers? Did hundreds of Lebanese buildings, bridges, airport, and roads do the kidnapping? When people do nasty things, why take it out on infrastructure? If you have ever built, re-built, restored, or even repaired a building, and I have, you have to realize just how much damage a bomb can do. It is a hideous thing to have your home, photos, memories, furniture, and even lives wiped out because someone thought it would be smart to punish a building for what a person did. The Israelis are totally WRONG in the damage to lives and infrastructure they have done to their human enemies. Utterly WRONG. It will never be solved as long as Israel lies in the midst of her enemies who have vowed to eliminate her, and they probably won’t able to do so. The Jews are to be defended and supported forever it seems. The Jews aren’t even guilty of being placed in the midst of their enemies. It is the UN and those who supported it and urged the establishment of Israel in the first place, who bear responsibility. The Jews were looking for a homeland, and they got it. A 58 year old huge mistake, which cannot be undone. So it will go on forever, and we can just hope that WW III doesn’t result from it. The Israelis understandably, are sick and tired of being attacked. Her enemies are sick and tired of Israel. There is no solution. The Birchers are absolutely correct. Get out of the UN and get the UN out of America!
On C-Span this morning, the Comptroller General of the United States admitted that the unfunded commitments for Social Security and Medicare alone were over $35 TRILLION dollars. The presses will continue to roll, and the buck continue to slide. No caller asked him why we have a Federal Reserve, and I couldn’t get in. Why do people save in dollars? I have no idea! Have a great weekend.
