America has no right to intervene lest Israel request intervention or assistance.<BR/><BR/>That being said, however, it's not only Obama who is willing to propose deals that will call for Israel to give up more soil. I have a new position on Tzipi Livni and the prospect of her being elected as PM: whoa. I admired her in the recent conflict with Hamas, but last night I heard her say in an interview that a two-state solution is a must and it begins with the removal of Israelis from their settlements. Why there are still leaders in Israel that think they will gain peace by giving away Israel's soil is absolutely beyond me to reconcile given the history. <BR/><BR/>Tzipi supported the defensive strategy in Gaza recently, but it WAS a settlement from which Israelis had been removed... and her own troops had to go back into Gaza to squash Hamas' offensive position against Israeli civilians. Pulling Israelis out of settlements will only produce more of the same.<BR/><BR/>I pray. Do you know anything about AIPAC? Do you know if it is a worthy group to join in being supportive of Israel? I want to do more than just blog in support of Israel, but sometimes these lobbyist groups can be more harmful than helpful to the cause you believe in. I am providing morale support for IDF troops, but what more can I do besides pray and support IDF troops? <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314783522635713681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-60245834442569735912009-01-26T14:40:00.000-08:002009-01-26T14:40:00.000-08:00Safiyyah, the US and Israel are both allies with s...Safiyyah, the US and Israel are both allies with shared values and interests. They both face the threat of Islamic terror and expansion. But the US must treat Israel as an equal, and not a pawn.<BR/><BR/>Israel is not dependent on US handouts. Israel did not receive a cent from the US before the Six Day's War, in which Israel obliterated 6 invading Arab armies. For every dollar that Israel receives, Egypt and other Arabs states receive 6 dollars. Sadly, US money has created a sense of dependance and reliance when in reality, Israel has one of the world's most advanced. modern and vibrant economies.<BR/><BR/>The world's silence, especially on the part of the Arabs, to the genocide in Darfur is glaring. If they had invested even a fraction of the energy with which they defamed Israel to rally for Darfur, there would be no genocide. As Dan Gillerman, former Israel ambassador to the UN said: "When Christians kill Muslims, its the Crusades. When Jews kill Muslims, its a massacre. When Muslims kill Muslims, nobody talks about it- its like the weather."<BR/><BR/>Safiyyah, what do you mean by "the Orthodox position that Zionism is not Judaism"? You will find the most fervent supporters of Israel to be Orthodox Jews. I am squarely in that camp. If you are referring to the anti-Zionist groups, then they are a minority opinion, and even their opinions are misunderstood and abused by Israel's foes.<BR/><BR/>I would direct you to these articles:<BR/><BR/>http://masada1234.blogspot.com/2008/05/reclaiming-zionism-part-i.html<BR/><BR/>http://masada1234.blogspot.com/2008/06/reclaiming-zionism-part-ii.htmlAvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156322358503174356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092397679011227919.post-81698219023981487652009-01-25T21:39:00.000-08:002009-01-25T21:39:00.000-08:00I would like to think that Bibi will stand up to o...I would like to think that Bibi will stand up to outsiders that pressure him to pursue a path that is harmful to Israeli security interests, but I don't think so.

No one except the American Jews and the Evangelical Christians want the US to be involved there. After all, we spend millions of dollars supporting the Israeli military and the Israeli people. You are right: we have many of our own problems here and we could use our tax dollars right here in America!<BR/><BR/>Could the Israeli economy stand up without US dollars? <BR/><BR/>You said:<BR/><BR/>"Darfur, close to a million blacks have been murdered by Arab janjaweed militia. The humanitarian situation is dire and could use international intervention. Why doesn't Obama send his ambassador there?"<BR/><BR/>Ameen. We in the US also ask this question of our government. <BR/><BR/>The whole world turns its back to human suffering everywhere unless there's something in it for them. <BR/><BR/>The US and Israel are two peas in a pod - each using each other.<BR/><BR/>On another note, BK, would you write a post about the Orthodox Jewish position that "Zionism is not Judaism". If you have, please direct me to the link in case I missed it.<BR/><BR/>Peace<BR/>SafiyyahSafiyyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670659439981133346noreply@blogger.com
