Re: Israel what is next???
The so called annual medical is not so much to do with your physical health, more the mental state.
Silly questions such as what is the date today, so go look at the calendar I told her, I know what it is and there are now 60 days to Christmas.
Not the answer she wanted but she had to laugh.
Not the nurse I normally have she was off sick so the second in charge did the medical.
Then she asked if I had any kids, well none that I know of but went dipping my wick all over the globe so who knows.
She then went on to tell me about a case in USA where some young lady did a lot of research including DNA and found her real father, have to laugh when she said a retired seaman but not where from.
After all the questions I had to go in to see my GP, a new lady as the guy I had moved to another practice.
After looking at the results I was told to go away, only deal with sick patients she said with a laugh.
Well lady I am one of the sickest buggers you will ever meet.
We parted good friends, see here again in December.
Have to have a Vitamin B12 injection every two months, 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' syndrome.
Sorry Vern, got a bit carried away there, should be in the health section, can you please move it, thanks.

Re: Israel what is next???
I remember the Stern Gang.
When in Haifa in 1954, saw many British Peace keepers vehicles burnt out on Roadside.
The Jews taught the Palestina's how to make roadside bombs.
I in no way condone the recent Hamas attrotosis, but the number of unarmed Palestinian youths who have been shot by IDF and quantities land stolen by Jews gives reason to understand Palestinian hatred.
Believe Israels iron fist actions will increase the hatred of Jews, not just in Palestine but throughout the world will make Jews hated and attacked throughout the world.

Re: Israel what is next???
you only have to go back to the bible, if you believe in it, and the Isaelites were hammer and tongs fighting then. the hatred built over both sides will linger for centuries, especially after this, whatever the out come will be. the middle east has always been a hornets nest, and i cannot see an answer to this one, but what do i know ?.

Re: Israel what is next???
I don't believe that anything Israel does will increase any hate for them, or make things worse. But, the supporters of the Palestinian cause are creating bad feeling for themselves in most western countries. As I said before, it's a ******/Jew thing, always was, always will be.
If the land of Israel had been allocated to a people of Islamic leanings in 1947, everyone would have lived "happy ever after". I suppose Israel feels that whatever they do about this latest attack by Hamas their plight will still go on, so they may as well get in hard while they can to make any aggressors think twice about shafting them in the future.

Re: Israel what is next???
The 12 tribes of Israel were ….
Judah,
Naphtali,
Asher,
Dan,
Benjamin,
Manasseh,
Issachar,
Zebulun,
Reuben,
Simeon,
Gad,
Ephraim.
A long time before Palestine was ever thought of I would imagine.
The Jews were taken into Bondage twice , discounting the evil dwarf Hitler and long before Christianity and the big M.
First by the Egyptians then by what is known today as Iran but was then Persia.
To a Jew the correct word for GOD or dog backwards is not the correct observation it is Jehovah . JS

Just remember that Hamas is totally funded and controlled by the Ayatollahs in Iran.
