128. israel has been attacked time after time. i'm almost 65. for
as long as i can remember there are those who hate the jews and israel. israel just wants to live in peace and no one will let them.

i'm not jewish, but i've had many jewish friends and even dated 2 israeli guys. one had fought in the '67 war. i was moved by how much he loved his country.

i don't believe that terrorism is the answer to anything. israel gave up occupied territories last year -- dragged their own people kicking and screaming from houses they lived in all their lives so that palestinians could have that land back. but no, rockets still got fired. hizbollah grabs israeli soldiers.

if for some reason, canada let a terrorist organization operate in their country and rockets started to hit montana or maine, how long do you think it would take before the US retaliated. i doubt if we would have been as patient as the israelis.

it's getting late now and i'm tired. so i'm just going to end it now.

i wish you a goodnight.
