If only Israel and America would not allow the enemy to live among them.

Air Defense Identification Zone.

Thank you! I couldn't get the last 2 letters identified.

Thanks for answering.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Pray for our military.

"I hope Israel keeps them out permanently. Keep the terrorists out"

Everything Rabbi Meir Kahane HaShem yikom damo (May G-D avenge his blood) has come to pass.

Kahane was right, the only solution to this conflict is a removal of all Arabs and turning Israel into a truly Jewish state

This is my greatest concern, that America and Britain will do a half-assed job. I want them to finish it so we will not have to go back in short order.

"Getting ready for war.........PRAY FOR THE INNOCENT"

Yes, thank you.

[hsmomx3]

How right you are!! I don't hear anything in our state about closing our borders. This should be a priority.

The real key to conflict is that gas prices have jumped to $1.60 vs. $1.40 two weeks ago. This means that Venezuelan oil is becoming a thing of the past and who knows about Mexican oil, what with Fox now on the side of the Germans and French?

"It's all about oil" is truly correct. If we lose foreign oil supplies, we are toast, especially since RATS and the commie enviros oppose domestic production and exploration.

It seems to me, at the time the impending war campaign is kicked off against Iraq, that it would also be an opportune time for Israel to launch a coordinated attack against Hezbollah and other terrorist factions in Lebanon and Syria, while at the same time, driving the Palestinians out their country once and for all. In fact, if I were Sharon, I’d be secretly negotiating with Bush for this ultimate of ultimate solutions to the Palestinian conflict, and if I were Bush, I’d be secretly negotiating with Sharon to take care of the terrorist problem in Lebanon and Syria.

Could be. We are living the ancient Chinese proverb/curse: "May you live in interesting times."

[Alouette]

allow Palestinians over 45 years of age to pray at a disputed holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem

How come they don't identify the "disputed holy site"? Is it the same holy site "known to Muslims as Haram al Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews as the Temple Mount" or are the Mohammedans now claiming ownership of the Hurva synagogue?

[OldFriend]

This time Israel will fight back.......and Saddam knows it full well. Any nonsense from any of the other countries will result in a massive retaliation by Israel and/or the US

[travelnurse]

Israel will wipe them off the map. Check out Isaiah Chapter 13 & Chapter 17... the coming war with Iraq and Syria (Hezballah's headquarters Damascus, Syria!!)

Many contradictory claims are and have been made about the land of Israel and its rightful owners. Arafat calls much, and sometimes all, of the Holy Land, "occupied territory", meaning the Jews are the occupiers of the land that he says belongs to the "so-called palestinians."

Israel became a nation 2,000 years BEFORE the rise of Islam. The Jews have had dominion over the land for 1,000 years, and a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.

Arab "refugees" in Israel ONLY BEGAN IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES AS PART OF A PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IN 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel in 1948.

Although Arabs "claim Jerusalem as their 'rightful' capital
the fact is that Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for over 3,300 years. Jerusalem has never IN ALL OF HISTORY, been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity.

Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Tanakh, the Jewish Holy Scripture, BUT NOT ONCE IN THE KORAN.

King David founded the City of Jerusalem. Mohammed never visited Jerusalem. Jews pray facing Jerusalem, while Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

Militant "so-called palestinians" say they were forced out of their land by Israel. But the fact is that in 1948, Arab refugees WERE ENCOURAGED TO LEAVE ISRAEL BY ARAB LEADERS. On the other hand, Jewish refugees WERE FORCED TO FLEE FROM ARAB LANDS DUE TO ARAB BRUTALITY, PERSECUTIONS AND POGROMS (organized massacres).

Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY NOT ABSORBED INTO ARAB LANDS TO WHICH THEY FLED, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of 10,000,000 refugees since WWII, THESE ARABS REPRESENT THE ONLY REFUGEE GROUP IN THE WORLD THAT HAS NOT BEEN ABSORBED OR INTEGRATED INTO THEIR OWN PEOPLE'S LANDS.

There are twenty-one Arab countries in the Middle East, and only one Jewish State -- and yet, Israel is the only democracy of all these countries and the only one that allows citizens of all faiths to worship freely.

Israel is smaller than the state of New Hampshire, and when established in 1948, it was less than one-sixth of what was known as the "Arab world."

And yet today, under some peace proposals, Israel's withdrawal from the pre-1961 borders is demanded, leaving Israel just nine miles wide at its most vulnerable point.

Is it any wonder that Israel often feels isolated in its struggle for existence?

There was never a people called palestinians, nor was there ever a culture. It was a name dreamed up by Arafat after the 1967 Israeli/Arab War, and these refugees amount to 3.5 million people today, all arabs and their descendents, in the middle of Israel, who originally came from Jordan (known as trans-Jordan before the war) and Syria.
