Defense Forces from Chelm

Honestly, I wish this really was just a Tale from Chelm.

While the neighboring Arabs are blitzing--bombing the Sderot, Ashkelon, Negev areas with dangerous rockets, Israel Defense Forces are preparing to act against...

...Sderot protesters, if they block the roads! Yes, demonstrators, even when from bombed and endangered Sderot, are a danger to society.


News Flash! Olmert decided to send in his secret weapon against the angry Sderot residents.
President Katzav will be visiting today, so Mayor Eli Moyal agreed to honor him by postponing the strike.


The Defense Minister's other priority action is to destroy Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. The modern Zionist pioneers are just criminals in the eyes of the Defense Minister. It makes me wonder how the left-wing kibbutznikim have the nerve to stay in their homes, or the left-wing town of Ramat Aviv, built on land "more Arab" than any of the communities Olmert, Peres and Peretz want to destroy.

And please, don't ask me to go to the Israeli Supreme Court on this. According to Israel's Chief Justice, this is the big problem facing Israelis:
Supreme Court President Aharon Barak dropped a potential bombshell on Sunday when he said Israelis are being deprived of their rights by being prohibited from marrying in civil ceremonies.



Don't worry, I haven't given up. Let's work not just to "change the government," we have to change the entire system!

Well, Batya, you're certainly not a "mamlakhti," B"H!!
:-)

You're not the only one who wants to change system.

Poly Sci Prof. Paul Eidelberg and mishal.org are only two examples.

I don't see any other way, myself.

In the context of pre-Revolutionary/Revolutionary America, someone once said that a healthy government should be overthrown every 15 years, or something of the sort.

I thought it was John Locke. Prof. Eidelberg said it was Thos. Jefferson. I'll defer to his wisdom.

Now, when a Torah-based government comes into existence....

Would you believe many religious Jews find this to be a frightening concept?

Thanks, some good points.

Ya'aqov, just think of all the "religious Jews" who find living in Israel a "frightening concept."

Baruch Hashem the youth have a fighting spirit and are willing to defy the system. We should give them every encouragement, especially in the outposts. Here in Petah Tikva we want to 'adopt' an outpost to give strength to its inhabitants.

That would be wonderful! Try Harel or Asaf, both just off the main road but very different.
