    &lt;strong&gt;Good News From Israel -Feb 17 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;by Michael Ordman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the 17th Feb 2013 edition of Israels good news, the highlights include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
· Israeli scientists have developed a cure for a disease causing millions of genetic deformities.&lt;br /&gt;
· Israels new parliament will have a larger proportion of women than those of the USA or UK.&lt;br /&gt;
· Israeli surfers saved 8 children from drowning in Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;
· Israeli 3D printers can now print your false teeth.&lt;br /&gt;
· An Israeli company won the top award at the Munich CleanTech Conference.&lt;br /&gt;
· Israel exported 60 million flowers to Europe for Valentines Day.&lt;br /&gt;
· The UN heard first hand about the fruits of Israeli technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;ISRAELS MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cure for genetic deformities. A team including researchers from Israels Technion has developed an innovative technique that they believe will cure deformities and blindness caused by ectodermal dysplasia, which affects seven out of every 10,000 babies born in the world. Via in-vitro experiments, damaged cells caused by mutant p63 genes can be greatly improved using a chemical substance called PRIMA-APR246.&lt;br /&gt;

Israeli stem cells slow down blood cancer. Israels Gamida Cell Ltd. reported success in the Phase III clinical trial of its StemEx treatment for leukemia and lymphoma. Compared to a control group, far more patients receiving StemEx survived 100 days or more following transplantation.&lt;br /&gt;

Saving life in Armageddon. Emek Medical Center in Afula, is near Megiddo, the fabled site of Armageddon. The hospital treats 50% Jews and 50% Arabs. In 2012, the head of Emeks intensive care unit traveled with two nurses, to the Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, to open a new trauma center and train local staff.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Saga of 4000 Years &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The article, Christians Are Guilty of the Holocaust, by Giulio Meotti in Arutz Sheva yesterday is both painful and necessary for all Jews and Christians to read:&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12784&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
While I have studied this history over many years, his article was tough for even a scholar to fathom.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The Catholic Church was as bad as Jews believed possible, but Lutheranism was worse. Please read his article at the end of my commentary. As I have written many times before, I fear a Second Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The reasons for this fear are many and well substantiated. The level of anti-Semitism is rising rapidly and have now reached the level of the 1930&#039;s. There are four kinds of anti-Semitism that today are mixing in todays world into a toxic formula for Jews. They are:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
1. Traditional European Nationalist anti-Semitism. Jews are seen as a foreign race affecting the purity of the various nations.&lt;br /&gt;
2. The Christian religion, evolving between Catholic and protestant Jew haters. Various sects believe in the false accusations of deicide, blood libel and devil worship. Some just simply &quot;replacement theology&quot; (G-ds Israel is replaced by Christians).&lt;br /&gt;
3. The Islamic religious traditions based on the Koran. The Islamist philosophy ranks all nations servants of the true religion founded by Muhammad. It is a cruel and cold faith where murderers of Jews, Christians, Hindus and other non-Moslems are insured a place in paradise. &lt;br /&gt;
4. Once Jews became sovereign in their own land as the Holy Scriptures predicted, many non Jews began to fear retribution for the evil they meted out to the Jews over the last 3500 years.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freeman.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/482-JEWISH-SURVIVAL-IN-THE-WORLD-TODAY.html#extended&quot;&gt;Continue reading &quot;JEWISH SURVIVAL IN THE WORLD TODAY&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Notes From A Frustrated Zionist  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Not a Nice Jewish Boy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
by Bernard J. Shapiro, &lt;br /&gt;
Chairman and Editor of Publications&lt;br /&gt;
Freeeman Cednter For Strategic Studies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Like just about every Zionist, I am in terrible pain because of the continued diplomatic and strategic imbecility of the Israeli government. That doesn&#039;t mean that all members are equally bad, only that as a group they continue doing stupid things together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Examples:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Since Oslo (1993) they have chosen to empower our enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
2. The policy of retreat and appeasements which never worked with any nation in the history of the world, became an Israel strategic policy.&lt;br /&gt;
3. The minimize the importance of the PA bid for UN recognition as if the fact that they have already lost the battle for unbiased history. Nowhere in their thinking is the concept of fighting back.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Israeli&#039;s raised since the founding of the State of Israel to be Lions of Judah are led into battlefields, like lambs to the slaughter. Israeli civilians, woman, children and the elderly are forced to run for cover during missile barrages. Terrorists rip their bodies apart as if they were not even human. It all makes me think of the Holocaust. Never Again???&lt;br /&gt;
5. Since 1982 (Lebanon) the leftist establishment has used every Dirty Non-Democratic Trick in the book to destroy Zionism and the morale of true Israeli Patriots.&lt;br /&gt;
6. Israel&#039;s Attorney General, the Police, Border Patrol, Supreme Court, News Media, Shin Bet (Israel&#039;s Secret Service) and all the leftist pro Arab political parties (plus Arab terrorist political parties) all conspire to crush the democratic Zionist will of 95% of Israel&#039;s Jewish population.&lt;br /&gt;
7. To me, this is not Kosher. Only a change in the electoral system can force a change. Only a change in all branches of Israel&#039;s government from the Justice Department through the IDF Officer Corp and especially the powers of the Prime Minister. A quick look at Israeli shows that each minister and the very powerful PM have the ability to do the opposite of what they are elected to do.&lt;br /&gt;
8. This sickens and revolts me. I have written about it many time in the past. Unfortunately the left has emasculated the Zionists, dating back&lt;br /&gt;
to the Altalena. And before that Jabotinsky was silenced in Europe, as he warned about the coming Holocaust. [My grandfather, Harry W. Freeman was also waning Jews all over Texas about the dangers of Nazism in the 30&#039;s.]&lt;br /&gt;

    NO CEASEFIRE - REPEAL OSLO &lt;br /&gt;
DESTROY THE HAMAS AND FATAH TERRORISTS&lt;br /&gt;
SETTLE ALL OF ERETZ YISRAEL - RECLAIM THE TEMPLE MOUNT&lt;br /&gt;
==========================&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Bernard J. Shapiro Comments on &quot;Ceasefire&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ceasefire with barbarians is not a ceasefire. The war is just postponed while Hamas and other terrorists are free to re-arm and fight another day. The cost to Israel of constant war is immense. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My advice to the &quot;learned&quot; generals and politicians of Israel is simply: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Fight to win &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Fight to destroy the enemy &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Maximize not minimise civilian causulities as per Americans in WWII (Hiroshima and Dresden) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Islam is a barbarian blood worship cult that must be destroyed for Western Civilization to survive. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Jews will never be popular no matter how hard they try to be &quot;nice Jewish boys and girls.&quot; I say be Lions of Judah and Roar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. There is no such thing as  International Law, since Power is the driving force in all disputes between nations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. International players including American should never be consulted or depended upon the protect the Jewish People. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Left to the mercies of the West, Israel would have been destroyed long ago. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. The thrust for delusional Peace beginning after 82 has caused a major deterioration in Israel Strategic Planing and the morale of its population. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;10. Freeman Center experts led by me would deem Opperation Pillar of Defense a FAILURE. It will need to be repeated again and again, until It is done corectly as described above&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
From my computer to G-d&#039;s ear. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy Thanksgiving from a True Zionist,&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;ISRAEL&#039;S &#039;FUTILE GESTURES&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Charles Bybelezer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
September 6, 2012 -Daily Mailer, FrontPage &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to extend well-wishes on the occasion of Id al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.&lt;br /&gt;
He did so despite the fact that Abbas continues to shun negotiations with the Jewish state and again has threatened to pursue a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Netanyahus goodwill gesture reportedly was followed by similar phone calls to Abbas by Israeli envoy Yitzhak Molcho and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Molcho also called PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad.&lt;br /&gt;
The calls came on the heels of other goodwill gestures made by Israel over the last few months aimed at coaxing the Palestinians back to the negotiating table; including, but not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The issuance of thousands of additional Israeli work permits to Palestinian laborers;&lt;br /&gt;
2. The advance to the PA on the eve of Ramadan of approximately NIS 200 million in levies collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinians so that government salaries could be paid;&lt;br /&gt;
3. The signing of an economic accord with the PA in order to enhance trade;&lt;br /&gt;
4. The signing of a deal to end a hunger strike by Palestinians jailed in Israel, in which Israel even agreed to allow convicted terrorists to pursue academic studies;&lt;br /&gt;
5. The tabling of an offer, confirmed by PA Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Qaraqe, to release in four stages 125 Palestinian security prisoners, many of whom were convicted of murdering Israelis (the proposal was summarily rejected by Abbas, who demanded the prisoners be released simultaneously);&lt;br /&gt;
6. The transfer to the PA of the bodies of approximately 90 deceased terrorists, whose remains subsequently were glorified en masse in official ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;THE DAYS OF AWE (5773)&lt;br /&gt;
By Bernard J. Shapiro&lt;br /&gt;
Chairman and Editor of all Publications&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we approach the New Year 5773, I am reflecting over lifetime surpassing the biblical three score (20) and ten. I have seen a lot, learned a lot, suffered and been redeemed a lot. I am not a perfect Jew. I have many failings. The worst, I imagine, is my failure to understand Jewish ritual.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Since I was very young, I never seemed to follow authority. It didnt matter who it was: parent, political or religious leader. I was born a rebel and have been a rebel all my life. I was greatly influence by my grandfather, Harry W. Freeman, who had studied to be a Rabbi in the Russian-Polish Pale at the end of the 19th century. Like many young Jews of that period, he joined the Communist Party to overthrow the Czar. They believed that the Jews must be freed from the oppression and persecution that affected their daily life.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The Czars secret police blessed him by driving him out of country and he escaped to America. This saved him from Nazi extermination and thus I live today by that Mazal. He landed in Galveston, became an attorney and founded the first chapter of ZOA in Houston as the real solution to the &quot;Jewish Question.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE&lt;br /&gt;
by Jack Berger &lt;br /&gt;
Member of the Board of Directors&lt;br /&gt;
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
October 17, 2011&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;You are standing today, all of you (all generations) before Hashem, your G-d, from the heads of your tribes, your elders your children from the (highest) in society to the drawer of your water, for you to pass into the covenant Hashem, your G-d in order to establish you today as a people to Him and that He will be a G-d to you I call on heaven and earth today to bear witness against you. I have placed life and death before you, a blessing and a curse, you shall choose life so that you will live to dwell on the land that I swore to your forefathers (to your fathers and grandfathers) and to Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob. (Deut. 29-30) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the world today I think back to the words of Charles Dickens, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us When I first read those words in high school, I believed that they were far removed from the rest of my life. America was in a simpler place. My only serious question was why wouldnt Sandy Koufax pitch the first game of the World Series  after all was Yom Kippur really that big a deal and it wasnt like he wore a kippah and kept kosher. It was a time when questions hadnt been asked yet and didnt need to be answered. Today has caught up with yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For me, years before my Bar Mitzvah, I remember the words on our Day of Atonement. Words when secular Jewish friends of mine only came to synagogue one day a year  would  show up on Yom Kippur to hear who will live and who will die The profundity of that one line and its finite reality, its focus, its simple yet unambiguous statement is a statement that few Jews can turn away from or forget. The gift we have been given is the gift of time  money comes, money goes, our days are moments as part of an eternity that we are only blessed to know for a very short time. &lt;br /&gt;

&quot;The Arabs do indeed believe in a policy of decisive defeat&lt;br /&gt;
of Israel. What is more, unlike Israel, the Arabs have the&lt;br /&gt;
manpower and the religious ideology to weather the war&lt;br /&gt;
of attrition that Boobi acquiesces in....&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At every stage of the conflict -- except for times before election --&lt;br /&gt;
Boobi Netanyahu has shown in his important acts that he is a true&lt;br /&gt;
believer in the Arabs as partners to Israel&#039;s ultimate peace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that before every election Israelis heard Boobi&#039;s silver tongue&lt;br /&gt;
going on record as backing uncompromising, hard line programs&lt;br /&gt;
to beat back the designs of the Arab enemy. Yet, when in office, he&lt;br /&gt;
consistently betrayed these right wing preferments.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION ORDERS AGAINS JEWISH NATIONALISTS&lt;br /&gt;
by ADINA KUTNICKI&lt;br /&gt;

September 26, 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Editors Note: The author variously uses the terms GSS [General Security Services], Shin Bet, Shabak, ISA [Israel Security Agency]. They are all names for Israels internal security service.]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In western democracies, a persons home is considered his castle. Therefore, if a government banishes a citizen from his home, the act must be based on a judicious interpretation of the law. The detainee must present a clear and present danger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chief Justice Aharon Barak, previous president of the Supreme Court, underscored his belief in this principle, albeit not from a perspective which protects the rights of Jewish nationalists. On July 15, 2002, Justice Barak ruled in the Ajuri case: Our point of departure is that in principle removing a person from his dwelling place and forcibly moving him someplace else causes serious harm to his self respect, his freedom, and his possessions. A persons home is not only a roof over his head, it is the means for establishing his physical and social relationships. A number of a persons basic human rights are harmed when he is forcibly removed to another place , even if such a move does not involve an international crossing. Tragically, his legal opinion was rendered in relation to the protection of the civil and human rights of terrorists! The security services recommended their expulsion from Nablus to Gaza, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the pro-Arab Btselem human rights organization is unhappy about administrative detention/expulsion orders, stating: Undoubtedly the state should act determinedly against settlers who harm Palestinians and their property, but the way to achieve this is via criminal proceedings and not administrative orders that are based on confidential information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;NEW YEAR&#039;S GREETING SHANA TOVA 5772&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;My Dear Subscribers and Lovers of Zion,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Another year has passed and we find Israel in a more perilous situation than any year since the War of Independence. The Israel Defense Forces are powerful and fully capable of destroying all enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
But there is a mighty force that prevents the activation of this force to protect the People of Israel. That force is a polititical, media, judicial, secret service, border police and left wing military elite, who have chosen to permit Arab terrorist to gain dominance in our Holy Land. They deliberately prosecute, persecute and destroy the Builders of Zion and turn a blind eye to the pervasive theft of the Land of Israel by terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
When an Arab attacks a Jew, the Jew is prosecuted for defending himself.  The Arab goes free to harass, steal and attack more Jews in the future. There is no deterrence. They laugh at the Jews, like the Nazis did during the Holocaust, as they striped them naked and marched them to their death.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
I will not be silent as the Israel, we prayed for over 2000 years, is destroyed by week and incompetent leadership. Leadership that has lost the Zionist passion of the Maccabees, Bar Kochba, Ben Gurion, Jabotinzky, Stern and Kahane. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
On this Rosh HaShona, may the Almighty give strength to his People Israel and courage to fight for survival, even if everyone in the World is against them. May the friends of the Freeman Center be blessed with Health, Love, Prosperity, Security and Peace.......Bernard&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
PS. Attached are the Hardback and paper covers (also E-book) of my new book, due out on Amazon before Chanukah and Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;

As you know, much of the world is getting ready to recognize a state&lt;br /&gt;
for Palestinians in coming days. The US may veto the vote in the&lt;br /&gt;
Security Council to set up Palestine in Israeli lands, and then&lt;br /&gt;
again maybe it will not veto it. Other countries are going ahead with&lt;br /&gt;
plans to vote for Palestine in the General Assembly, to grant&lt;br /&gt;
Palestine embassy space, to grant it formal recognition, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of paying lip service to the righteous need for granting&lt;br /&gt;
Palestinians a state, Netanyahu and his cowardly crew are scratching&lt;br /&gt;
their heads about what to do and how to stop all this. The best Bibi&lt;br /&gt;
has come up with is a plan to give a speech in that building on the&lt;br /&gt;
East River near 42nd street.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;PAYING AN INSTALLMENT ON THE TERRORISM BILL&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Tit for tat responses by Israel -- the standard Israeli response&lt;br /&gt;
to attack -- is merely an encouragement of the enemy.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Israel this morning is paying another installment on the bill she&lt;br /&gt;
incurred when she surrendered Gaza to the enemy and enabled Gaza to&lt;br /&gt;
become a dangerous Arab military base.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This fact needs to be called loudly to the attention of Israelis, who&lt;br /&gt;
are among the most liberal, ideologically obsessed persons on earth.&lt;br /&gt;
They have all too often followed the rosy line of the leftists that&lt;br /&gt;
have led the nation to blunder after blunder, surrendering land,&lt;br /&gt;
diplomatic posture, and moral standing. Confidence in the leftist&lt;br /&gt;
way should have already been scuttled by its dismal failures.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;800 POUND GORILLA IN THE ROOM&lt;br /&gt;
by David Basch &lt;br /&gt;
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
June 10, 2011&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Unless Israel&#039;s people and government wake up immediately&lt;br /&gt;
to the Arab knife being brought ever closer to the Israeli&lt;br /&gt;
throat and develop effective tactics for Israel&#039;s survival&lt;br /&gt;
... through bringing the Arab war deep into enemy strongholds&lt;br /&gt;
and denying him the means and the strategic position to&lt;br /&gt;
defeat Israel, the dangerous possibilities of Israeli defeat&lt;br /&gt;
forever linger. But the needed Israeli action can only be&lt;br /&gt;
undertaken when Israel wakes up to the implacable nature of&lt;br /&gt;
the enemy, ...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What supporter of Israel can have confidence in the Jewish State if&lt;br /&gt;
up to this date the country refuses to recognize the reality of the&lt;br /&gt;
800 pound gorilla in the room, that the Arab goal is to destroy&lt;br /&gt;
Israel?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that context, it is evident that the Arab enemy uses negotiations&lt;br /&gt;
only as a means to further that deadly goal. That enemy tactic has&lt;br /&gt;
worked splendidly for the Arabs, giving them a steady stream of step&lt;br /&gt;
by step Israeli surrenders without the Arabs themselves having to make&lt;br /&gt;
a single concession to Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is not reassuring to contemplate that Israel remains in a perpetual&lt;br /&gt;
strategic fog, unable to recognize the deadly aim of its Arab&lt;br /&gt;
adversary. Failing to recognize this, Israel continually rejects&lt;br /&gt;
decisive action against the enemy since it fears an angry Arab&lt;br /&gt;
reaction that will foreclose what is the delusional possibility of a&lt;br /&gt;
peace agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&quot;Has Israel at this point gone over the edge, beyond&lt;br /&gt;
recouping the conditions of &quot;secure and recognized&lt;br /&gt;
borders&quot; agreed to in UN Resolution 242,...?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shimon Peres demonstrates that political views are more related to&lt;br /&gt;
character than to facts. Given a personal character obsessed to be&lt;br /&gt;
more righteous than any biblical divinity, the resulting views are&lt;br /&gt;
correspondingly bizarre, going against necessities for defense and&lt;br /&gt;
long term self preservation. That is the lesson we may learn from&lt;br /&gt;
Peres&#039;s career. to prove this, just check out Peres&#039;s views as revealed&lt;br /&gt;
in a recent interview in the Jerusalem Post.&lt;br /&gt;

    &lt;b&gt;ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE AFTER 63 YEARS&lt;br /&gt;

No one should fool themselves into thinking that giving the Arabs of Judea and Samaria Jordanian citizenship would solve anything in the long run. Jordan is not as friendly (population wise) as we are led to believe. Though the government is helpful and friendly, that could change in the blink of an eye. Should American troops leave Iraq and it falls to Iran, the consequences would be severe for Israel. With Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza under Iranian control, it could easily extend its reach to Jordan and the Judean-Samarian ridge overlooking Israel&#039;s vulnerable coast.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;My Bottom Line (Conclusion)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Israel&#039;s central problem is psychological and no amount of beautiful rhetoric and wonderful proposals can change that. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
When will the Nationalist Camp realize that we are &quot;at war already&quot; with the PLO/Hamas/Hezbollah supporting tyranny (the LEFT) that rules Israel? At what point will Israelis realize that the CIVIL WAR they fear, IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE AND THEY ARE LOSING? When will the true Zionists take over Israel and rid the country of the Arab and Jewish traitors.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
After 2000 years of homelessness, we are privaliged in this generation to see a new and productive Jewish State. Why do we let these evildoers threaten to take it from our hands.&lt;br /&gt;
