A very interesting comment from the Dutch politician Geert Wilders in the Jerusalem Post. He [Wilders] added: â€œI always say that parents everywhere in the West sleep well at night because parents in Israel lie awake at night â€“ because their children are fighting the jihad. Youâ€re fighting our fight, and after Israel, we are next.â€ I'm sure it is not surprising that millions of American parents feel the same way.

Israelis are from Israel. None of my grandparents were born in the US. Should I be compelled to move back to Bialystock, Belarus, Turin or Ireland?

Israelis are Israeli. That is where they belong. None of my Grandparents were born in the US. Am I to move back to Bialystock or Belarus, Turin or Ireland?

My mother was born in what was then the Russian Empire, now Poland, and left when she was seven. I asked her once if she had any good memories of the old country. She thought for quite a while and then said when she was about four a gentile woman in the market place patted her head and said she was a nice child. “Any others?” I asked. Again she thought for a while and then shook her head. The town where she was born had a few thousand Jews when she lived there and by 1945 had none.

Thanks, Ms. Thomas, but I don’t want to go back and they wouldn’t be all that eager to have me.

Besides, as it needs to be said more often, Israel took in not only Europe’s victims but those of the Arab world. Oh, yes, Jews and Muslims lived in harmony until those Zionist agitators came around. I guess it depends on what you mean by “harmony.”

Though I left the faith-born Jewish, then Protestant, now Catholic-what’s going on now reminds me what I will always be.
My patron saint-Edith Stein-was a Carmelite nun-but that’s not whom the Nazi’s saw-THEY saw a Jew and she was martyred at Auschwitz in 1942. Methinks that the Nazi’s wannabe successors in the muslim world would take the same attitude toward me and those like me. They would also murder my half-Jewish son, and my Christian husband and ex-husband…because they associate with me.
THAT’S why I support Israel. Well that and the fact that it’s the only democracy in the middle east.
Do you remember the slogan of ‘Operation Exodus’?
Never Again is NOW!
