Israel

Mary, I like getting differences of opinion. Thanks. I would not like someone taking my land and kicking me out. That would be an injustice and I would rally about it going to all the places I could, to get justice. But after exhausting all of those options I would resign myself to reality and dig in and start about my new life. I wouldn't hide in the bushes shooting rockets at the new occupants of my former abode. I would get on with the business of building a new life for me and my family. The Palestians want disarmament through negotiations and Israel wants negotiations after disarmament. Where do we go ? I see things as they are now and think that solutions should be worked out. I am sure injustices have occurred but lets turn the page on the past and live for the future. After all, Before the Romans threw the Jews out they were the initial occupiers of the land. This killing and killing is a pasttime for many of the youths as well. They can go around carrying a rifle, feeling important and no job required. It is a way to shirt the reality of building a community.

Israel

I am confused. Why are people upset with Israel ? If someone is throwing rocks at your house and causing damage and death and you go to all the neighbors and authorities asking for help and no one responds, so you take matters into your own hands and confront the bad neighbor. Then you have all the neigbors screaming that you are bad. I just don't get it. Where are the neighbors when the guy was killling and damaging with the rock throwing thing ? I think this is a terrible trajedy what is happening in the Middle East and perhaps Israel has responded too aggressively. I will leave that to the experts but here is what I do know. This mess is going to on and on until we reeducate all concerned and that means getting to the youth. Does Palestine really think that Israel is going to pack up and say okay, we are leaving. They are a military powerhouse and they are there to stay. Why can't the Palestinians accept that and go from there. Accept a land for themselves worked out by all concerned and get along with the business of living and finding happiness in life. Personally I think the Jewish people are a fantastic people. Look at all the medical advances that country has given us not to mention the arts. And of course Jesus was a Jew. One of the real culprits is Iran. They have this agenda that is skewed. Evidenced by what their leader says about no Holocaust. I always think about what I heard someone say one time. They have to love their children more than they hate their neighbor. Peace.

Judys Friends

Judy has a lot of friends. The friends that I like a lot are her internet buddies. They probably don't really know how much they mean to Judy as they don't live with her, but I do. Judy loves to write. that is her outlet. With her internet buddies she has immediate feedback and often in her times of sorrow or whatever they have been so supportive. That is not only good for Judy but good for the health of my family. I am appreciative to all these ladies. A lot of people say you meet some crazies on the web which I am sure is true but it also enables you to hook up with some very nice people. I am not all that crazy about writing but watching Judy over the years has peaked my interest and made me take a different view of the internet. Not that I ever had a negative view but now I have a view that the internet can be used to serve a lot of good things. Heck, my brother in law met his wonderful wife on the web. I would tease her about when her internet buddies would hookup in different parts of the country for their annual meeting, that they would greet each other with their fingers typing, instead of embracing hugs. I guess that is not funny but as I visualize it , it makes me laugh. A toast to her internet buddies. Peace.
