ISRAEL'S BIRTHDAY

The arabs that live in Israel appear to be doing better there than in lands dominated by the mullars and islamic lifestyles, nobody expects an arab to be happy because Jews have their own country now......live and let live is a whole lot better than islamic religious intolerance....in the U.S. everybody enjoys the 4th of July no matter what ethnic group they belong to......when the arabs grow up and start thinking for themselves they may get to understand and enjoy the company of their Judaic fellow citizens.......Cordially, Steve.....

As a proud gay American Catolic I think israel

should be peacefully dismantled and replaced by Palestine where gay people like me can be free to grow spiritually and enjoy homosexual acrtivities.

Call Israel what it is - a fascist state

Everything in this article rightly points to ethnic cleansing, apartheid and supremacist expansion on Israel's part. Those are characteristics of a Nazi state.

The problem is that no one is willing to call a spade a spade.

Please no hate

I think you liberal types should grow up and understand history and spare us with anti-Israeli hatred. First of all nobody mentions all the Jewish refugees that lost their homes and land in Arab lands. A honest look at history demands that. As well as an honest account how Jordan treated the Palestinian refugees.

Second of all to the Gay Catholic: Why don’t you move to an Islamic state like Iran and see how tolerant they are about your lifestyle choices? Chances are those tolerant Muslims going label you as an infidel and throw rocks at you! I personally think the nation of Israel is going to be more tolerant of your lifestyle than a Palestinian state run by Jimmy Carter’s new friends Hamas.

As far as the bozo that runs around screaming Nazi and Apartheid. I only wish it could have lived it’s a German Death Camp so he could have an accurate comparison.

Its crap like that makes it very easy to loath you worthless Marxist Liberals!

Arabs mourning an ideology

Arabs are mourning the loss of dhimmitude, when non-Muslims suffered official discrimination. I would rather be an Arab in Israel today than a Christian Copt in Egypt, a Palestinian Christian in Bethlehem, a Bahai in Iran or a Chaldean Christian in Iraq. Arabs have served in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, as judges, and as ambassadors. They are mourning the "good old days" when it was acceptable to kill Jews to let off steam. Some Europeans have the same longing for the "good old days". Whoever in Israel cannot celebrate the 60th Anniversary is free to leave. No one is stopping them

Response to "My Love For Israel"

You sir, are a total jerk and then some. God has Blessed the Middle East with Israel. I so hope that the Israeli's wipe Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria & Egypt off the map, with one major nuclear attack. I hope that ALL Arab's, both Muslim & Christian get killed and murdered like they deserve. Face the facts, look at what our great and innocent and peace loving nation of Israel got away with, when they all but wiped Hezbollah and Lebanon off the map 2 years ago ! It was tears of joy to my eyes. Learn something you idiot. The American's are the MOST stupid people in the world, and they are obliged to pump tons of money into Israel, and support any and all decisions that the Israeli's make. (And we spy on you idiots and steal from you every single day and you don't even realize it!) Learn about the true Israeli's. We DO NOT want any peace with anyone except ourselves. Our long term goals are to eventually wipe all Arabs off the map, and take Saudi Arabia, Dubai and other oil rich nations. We will take you too, when you least expect it! Here is to the next 60 years, of taking the entire Middle East, for it is ours! AND ONLY OURS! HAPPY 60th Israel! Shalom Shalach!

Peace

Instead of threatening to nuke Arab countries and calling Israel a facist country, why not celebrate what Israel is really for on its 60th- freedom and peace. Honestly, in America, there are Brits that celebrate independence day with us and they don't throw a fit that they lost the revolutionary war. Its not so much to ask for the Jews to have their own place is it? It isn't a huge country obviously, and they have worked true wonders with the land. Instead of wishing Israelis luck to see a 61st anniversary, why not plant a tree in Saudi Arabia? Why not make your own countries a better place rather than threaten others. And to all of the radical extremests on this blog of both sides, remember that the innocent are the ones that always suffer. Please show some empathy. Shalom. Salam.

Genesis 12:3

O' Israel, how I love thee! You are in my heart and prayers every single day.

Israel's Birthday

“Celebrate, Dear Israel”

Celebrate, dear Israel.

For your birthday, sixty year,

Throw kisses and hugs-

To anyone near;

Give hugs, give gracious civility,

For our citizens, proud viability.

Jews, dance on the graves -

Of our dead,

Lest it be said,

We forget them.

Shout for freedom!

Freedom, at last,

Let homelessness be -

A place in the past,

Be independent, stand free, yes,

Stand tall In the field,

Not against the wall.

Israel, we love you,

Home sweet Womb,

Our blood, our hope,

Our sweet perfume!

The forgotten refugees

People seem to have forgotten that in 1948 there was almost one million jewish refugees from the middle east and north africa, made homeless destitute refugees by the ruthless arab muslims who kicked them all out, today the arab world except for approximately around 5-6,000 in Marocco and around 1,500-2,000

in Tunisia, a few hundred in The Yemen, and between 30-60 in Bahrain. The arabs should be proud of themselves, they are the rascists, the arab world in now judenrein, how is that for ethnic cleansing, it is well known that many arab leaders supported Adolf Hitler in his genocide against the Jewish people, haj Amin Al-hussaini the mufti of Jerusalem was a personal guest of Adolf Hitler in Berlin from 1941, he even visited some death camps where jews were being slaughtered by the thousands, he even suggested that they accelerate the killing apparatus at a faster pace in order that no jews should be left to enter palestine.
