Did you watch the 700 Club to get Pat Robertson's take on the ME. Are you ready for the Rapture. When all good Jews must accept Jesus or go to hell with the rest of us ""librals".

People tend to forget the creator or the father figure. In India you would find only one or two temples devoted to Brahma, but there millions of temples devoted to Vishnu and Shiva. So is there any surprise that the state of Israel has forgotten that it owes its existence to a U.N. resolution?

I don't recall the Right/neocons complaining against the UN during the cold war. The US and Israel vetoed may resolutions before and after 1559, now we have one resolution that's important.

Since its initial vote to create Israel, it has been overwhelmingly Israel-hating. Mr Mod Commenter: Falwell and Limbaugh are not my friends - I am a center/left liberal Jewish Democrat. You are obviously not my friend either. Brij, the UN is darn near useless when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

All the world is there to serve us. The UN organized the elections in Iraq we were so proud of and also was responsible for most of the health care activities such as vaccination we used as proof of progress, but this is their duty. We don't acknowledge aid. May eastern European countries went out of their way to suppor us in Iraq even sending troops but they got nothing. We are a pricess and not to do whatever we say is pro terrorist and anti semitic. Of course the real world does exist with real interests and powers, but we try our best to avoid this unpleasant news. Of course we will buckle if the Arabs get mad and withdraw a few million barrels per day from production. We love Israel and will do anything for it, but 4 dollars a gallon is too much. The far right will remember that Jews killed Jesus, that God doesn't listen to their prayers and they eat Christian babies for passover. Many of the websites which the regular contributers here echo with approval (Hezbullah blew up the people at Qana, an irresponsible photo journalist proves Israel bombs don't harm Lebanese etc.) will find the flaws with Israel. Especially because according to these people Israel is failing it's duty as our ally and proving incompetent in destroying Hezbullah. The fact that Hezbullah has a good chance of taking over Lebanon in ugly civil war will be blamed on the traditional enemy. Do people like Holly and the other regulars here really think Falwell and Limbaugh are their friends? Evidently. Americans don’t believe in reality. All the world is there to serve us.
