It is in many ways ...Have you ever been to Israel? It is in many ways similar to California. Fertile fields, industrious and free people, vibrant economy, optimistic spirit... Imagine California surrounded by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt instead of Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. Would they be nice to California because it is not a Jewish state, or would they hate us just as much as they hate Israel? <BR/><BR/>The bitter resentment against Israel is the same bitter resentment that all losers have for all winners. It need not be that way, of course. Israel's neighbors could adopt free economies and a democratic tradition. But it is much easier to hate and kill than to reform from the inside. Much easier to call the "A" student "teacher's pet... little brown nose... goodie goodie..." than to go home each night and study. Every "D" student knows this in his <BR/>heart of hearts, which makes him only despise the "A" students more. He won't make the sacrifice, so he hates those who do.<BR/><BR/>If Israelis became Budhists, would the Arabs like them better? No chance. They would simply vow to eliminate the Budhist state. Israel is a success story that puts them to shame. If you doubt it, just cross over into Egypt. You could be from Mars, and you would know the difference in 10 minutes, and you would also know which of these countries you would prefer to call home. The Israelis cannot say this, of course, because of, well, noblesse oblige. The "D" student feels free to call the "A" student a "suck up," but if the "A" student were ever to call the "D" student a "lazy goof-off," he would be punched in the face. But we all know the truth of it. <BR/><BR/>The Jews succeed because they cannot afford to fail. And the failures around them hate them all the more for it.<BR/><BR/>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154497516447273262006-08-01T22:45:00.000-07:002006-08-01T22:45:00.000-07:00Bill, While it is true Motorola developed the cel...Bill, <BR/>While it is true Motorola developed the cell phone, it was not an Israeli but an American who worked for Motorola. I believe his name was Marty Cooper. Motorola does or did have a manufacturing plant in Israel, many arab nations would not do business with Motorola because of this, sometimes an arab would buy Motorola gear but would have Motorola remove the name from the equipment, they wanted Motorola gear since it was the best at that time. My husband worked for Motorola and in fact helped installed the first cell phone system in this area, which was for the 1984 Olympics. Hope all this helps. <BR/><BR/>PrimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154497456116141842006-08-01T22:44:00.000-07:002006-08-01T22:44:00.000-07:00Hi Bill,I can not say whether Tamar(female) is ri...Hi Bill,<BR/>I can not say whether Tamar(female) is right or wrong with her statements.
