You also can't keep fighting his endless battles for him. Eventually, he needs to grow up and learn how to live in the world. <br /><br />The Evangelical Christian Right that so many American Jews think is their best friend WANTS Israel to destroy itself in the War of Armageddan (this is their prophecy). <br /><br />Everyone else only wants Israel to survive as the tiny tiny little country of 5.5 million Jews that it is (1 percent of the pop. of the Middle East) among her Arab neighbors. <br /><br />The only way that Israel can hope to survive is by forming peaceful economically beneficial (to both sides) alliances with her Arab neighbors. <br /><br />President Obama and the current administration are the best friends that Israel has had in the past 40 years and someday, I believe that this will become more evident. <br /><br />When you are planning on slaughtering a cow, you feed it nothing but sugary feed to fatten it up. <br /><br />In contrast, the cow that is being raised for milk, for the long term gets nothing but grass and high protein feed. Yuck. <br /><br />The bull in the feed lot on his way to slaughter might think to himself, wow, I am the lucky one, Mr. Farmer really loves me and gives me everything I want. He never ever says "no". <br /><br />But it is the cow who must forage for her own food, whose diet is restricted to proteins and grass that is is being nutured for the long term. <br /><br />As long as the goal for Israel is long term survival and not complete annihilation in a Holy War of Armageddan against Islam, Israel will need to learn to live peacefully with her neighbors and that includes eating some hay, unfortunately.Jersey Girlnoreply@blogger.com
