This past week, I wrote a few e-mails that were not enjoyable. I tried to make light of the situation as much as possible, however no one likes writing home to Mom and Dad that their country is at war. This week, the southern city of Sderot has been bombarded with Kassam rockets fired from Gaza. Why? Because Hamas and Fatah are in a civil war with eachother. Now, you my not see the direct correlation between these two events but I do. When Hamas and Fatah decide to wage war against eachother, Israel gets caught in the middle.
Please read this article featured in Ha'aretz's current online edition: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/860479.html. It illustrates what it's like to be living in the middle of a civil war- as a Palestinian. I am amazed this journalist wasn't shot to death. As Shmuel Rosner says "the Gaza Strip is burning." They don't have the Israeli's to fight against, as we do not occupy this territory anymore. So, they fight each other. Good. Let them. Let them kill eachother off and leave us alone!

What the f*&k!
My friend Robert pointed out a recent column in the Jerusalem Post about Islam. Here is the link to the direct article: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?apage=1&cid=1178431592731&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
This rant is about how sick the world really is. This article brought to my attention how sexist Islam is. Mazal tov to Hamas for pulling "Mickey Mouse" off the air before Disney sued the shit out of them. For all those that say Islam is peaceful and Hamas is just looking out for their people, you should read this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070510/ap_on_re_mi_ea/hamas_mickey_mouse;_ylt=An0d91gZc8bScXY8FP11rdELewgF
However, this blog is not about Mickey or Hamas, it is about the fact that children are targets in the eyes of Islam. A UN run school was shot up the other day because boys and girls were allowed to play together. They were allowed to play sports together. Seriously people, come on. Little children were targeted for slaughter for their 'sins' of being active in sport with members of the opposite sex. Little kids. Slaughter. Does this sound OK to you?? It doesn't to me.
For those that feel the US should not be in the Middle East, you're all dumb. Sorry but you are. The US army found explosive wires that were linked to a girls school. These wires lead to propane filled tanks with bombs attached. This school was not built for the girls, it was built to kill them. Heaven forbid girls should learn ANYTHING. This is absurd. Girls are being targeted for going to SCHOOL. To learn. Seriously- these girls would have been blown to bits if the US army had not found these wires. The school was a farce so that the Islamic world could show everyone else that they are not evil- they built a school for girls. However, they would have blamed the bombing on someone else.
Dr. Guy Bechor, one of my professors, explains that while Jews and Arabs may be cousins- we are different in how we handle situations. Arabs blame other people. Jews blame themselves- even when it's not our fault. The fact that neither of these stories made it to the front page of ANY news outlet shocks me. The world is more concerned with what my Prime Minister is doing than what happened or could have happened to these kids. They are children. Innocent kids that are bred for hatred... it is sad but true and it needs to be stopped.
We are not in the crusades! This is 2007!! This shit should not be happening.
Want to help stop this from happening? Send me a message and I'll tell you how to help. The best thing you can do- SUPPORT THE STATE OF ISRAEL! We are the only democracy in the Middle East. If the state doesn't exist, Islam will take over.
The end.
