The only good raisin is a dead raisin. Or in a raisin/oatmeal cookie.
Israel has no enemies outside of Muslim countries and the White House. About 1/4 of Israel's population are former citizens of USSR. There are close contacts between Israel and Russia, and in general I'd say there is an agreement. For example, Russia scrapped the sale of S-300 missiles to Iran. Both countries are ran by pragmatists, and while Putin may have a different opinion on things he understands who in the world thinks in the same way. The USA, however, is ran by socialists with an agenda to change the world.
USSR supported arabs and was anti-Israel. That was due to the divided world. The West had Israel, so that chip was already taken. USSR had to take whatever was left, even if it was not very good (and it wasn't.) Also note that USSR did not have problems with Muslims - nobody outside of Israel had them at that time. But things changed; in Russia, for example, there is no love lost for fundamentalist Muslims after Afghanistan and Chechen wars.
On the other end of the spectrum the USA is now aligning with Israel's enemies. Obama made sure, for example, that a relatively stable and well contained regime of Gaddhafi - who had no beef with anyone in decades - was replaced with AQ and MB who now have all the war materiel of Libya. Wonder what they need that for? Now consider demolition of Israel-friendly Egypt and a continuing attempt to replace Assad in Syria. Assad is not a dove, but he understands that his own hide is at stake and he does not make waves. Israel bombed his nuclear site, or whatever it was, and Assad was silent. He did nothing at all; he knew that he gambled and lost, and he accepted that. He is someone Israel can deal with. AQ, once they win in Syria, will have no qualms, and you cannot threaten AQ personally.
Much truth to what you say, I think. But keeping up with it....
Maybe they were total sluts while they were alive, and this is their punishment? Not only having to put out for all eternity for stinky, sweaty terrorists, but it hurts each time like the first.
This subject is inexhaustible. It needs a thread of its own, with contests, pictures, poems and short stories:-E)
