Seems like about every American politician has pledged to defend the right of Israel to exist as a nation. Israel has every right to exist in the world community, and like any sovereign nation should, it fights to do so. What the politicians and a lot of the American public does not understand is that Israel is fighting for the right for Jews as a people to exist. Throughout history, no other humans have been persecuted such as have been the Jewish people. Pogoms and extermination camps killed many millions, and over the centuries, many, many more Jews have been killed in individula acts of terror. Since the biblical dispersion, Jews have been treated like sub-humans in nearly every place in which they have settled and tried to live a peaceful coexistence with everyone else. That is one of the two main reasons that Israel exists; to have a homeland for any Jew to come to and feel free to be free. The other main reason the country as we now know it came to be is religious in nature. According to their history set forth in the bible, God gave the ancient Israelites a homeland because they were his chosen people.. How they lost that homeland is partially their own fault, and partially the fault of invaders. The fact remains that they now have part of the old homeland back and intend to keep it.

I didn't sleep well last night and can barely see to write this. About a week ago, Carolyn removed the comforter that I was comfortable with from our bed and replaced it with another one. I have the heat turned down to sixty degrees at night, because neither of us like a stuffy sleeping room. The new blanket just isn't going to pass muster. I froze! Somewhere near daylight this morning, I rolled against Carolyn and she got up and put another cover on the bed, and I fianlly got a little sleep. I'll be damned if I am going to waste good beer money by turning up the heat!

Jerry is supposed to charge the a/c on Chris' car come Saturday. It will be so good to have something to drive again. I enjoyed riding shotgun with Carolyn driving the van; it sits up high and a lots of photos can be made without getting out. At least she won't have to drive everywhere when the Escape is returned. IF!

You are right about Israel. The Palestians would do themselves a big favor by accepting this fact and stop sending over those piece of shit rockets on a daily basis.
So this time I agree with Israel.
I don't like to take sides, but Israel is there, and they surely must be allowed to peacefully exist.
