Miscellaneous Information
"We
can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive
them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace
with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us"
[Golda Meir].
Alleged
Jewish Terrorism
"For centuries, Muslims had been able to incite the
Arabic-speaking masses to anti-Jewish attacks by invoking the racially
prejudiced 'holy words' and by spreading inflammatory fabrications about
the Jews. In 1948, ... the Arab masses believed that, with
independence, the Jews would turn the tables on the Arabs and would take
retribution from them for the persecution that the Jewish dhimmi
had suffered at Arab hands in the past. The few 'acts of reprisals'
by outraged Jews, in response to the Arab violence designed to prevent the
Jews' statehood, were novel and unexpected. For so long the dhimmi
had exhibited 'incredible restraint'. Word of the Jews'
counterattacks was broadcast far and wide, embellished, and vastly
exaggerated" [Joan Peters, From Time Immemorial: The Origins of
the Arab-Jewish Conflict Over Palestine, JKAP Publications, 1984,
p395].
Proportional
Response
"[A]
former Speaker of the [American] House [of Representatives] said today's
[July 16, 2006] deaths of eight Israelis from Hezbollah missile attacks is the
equivalent of losing 500 Americans, based on population: 'Imagine
we woke up this morning, and 500 Americans were dead in Miami from
missiles fired from Cuba. Do you think any American would say, 'No, we
should have proportionate response. We shouldn't overreact.'?
No we
would say, 'Get rid of the missiles.' John F. Kennedy, ... was prepared to go
to nuclear war to stop missiles from being in Cuba. ... This idea that
we have this one-sided war where the other team gets to plan how to kill
us and we get to talk, is nuts'."

the extract above to be a true comment on the world's hypocrisy concerning the
situation faced by Israel during the summer of 2006,

Why
'Hip Hip Hurray' is a No No!
Around 135AD the Romans besieged Jerusalem and after a terrible period the
city was subdued. So costly was the siege that relieved Romans
instituted a new toast at their feasts: "Hierosolyma
Est Perdita," "Jerusalem is destroyed," the guests
immediately greeting it with the shout Hurrah. This is the origin of
our "Hep! Hep! Hurrah," H,E,P, being the abbreviation of the
three words, formed by their initial letters (on the principle known as
Notarica, or Notricon). To this day Hep or Hip is said by only one
person, the rest joining in the shout which greets it! In view of
Ps. 122:6 and Ps 129:5-6 it is better to say "Praise the Lord"
[Peter, Crows Nest, NSW, thedinkum.com/issues/dink57.htm#whh].
