A few facts: The Gaza Strip is part of Biblical Israel. The borders of the Gaza Strip are totally artificial and have no significance in Jewish law, and it is interesting that the borders of the area that the Jews never fully wrested from the Philistines are extremely similar. The Gaza Strip is part of the western Negev, which is part of southern Israel. The region may also be called coastal Negev. The State of Israel never annexed the Gaza Strip so it has never been part of the State of Israel.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-86156742030015887052011-02-25T09:40:29.644+02:002011-02-25T09:40:29.644+02:00I want you all to seal this in your minds - and as...I want you all to seal this in your minds - and ask yourselves, how much of this do we do in our own lives when it comes to dominion over others - <br /><br />*There is only one thing Arabs understand. One thing and one thing alone - domination. Whatever it takes, killing, raping, suicide bombing, bestiality, pedophilia - it's all about domination vs submissiveness. And it's so funny and absurd because they hypocritically and bold-faced lie about their religion being one of submissiveness to Allah - but apparently that gives them free reign to wreak havoc EVERYWHERE like bloody mental cases in domineering everything and everyone till their appetite for destruction is satisfied.*Noise Blockers and Other Remedieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883961234797546861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-82519516628608735672011-02-25T05:18:59.730+02:002011-02-25T05:18:59.730+02:00Yes, this idea that holy people don't fight is...Yes, this idea that holy people don't fight isn't Jewish.

Should I describe it as southern Israel? Is Gaza legally still part of Israel?<br /><br />There's no "Palestinian" state so I couldn't use that term, and I don't know if it's still considered a part of Israel.<br /><br />Gaza--a place in limbo.

I like to make that point when people think that we're supposed to just pray, read Psalms and improve ourselves. Of course if we're not worthy, we won't win the wars, but we are supposed to fight them.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-39765914129138689252011-02-24T23:20:50.731+02:002011-02-24T23:20:50.731+02:00Yes, Hadassa, "cycle of violence" impli...Yes, Hadassa, "cycle of violence" implies that we and the Arabs are equally guilty.<br /><br />PQJ, yes, they all copy the same mistakes.<br /><br />a, emunah won't save us from rockets, sorry.
