Here I sit... a Reform Jew in Upstate NY.
How am I connected to Israel?
Why am I connected to Israel?
I am connected through Heritage, Sinai, and Torah.
Jews have been passive and they also have been warriors through the years.
We have always feared world opinion and worried would it be good for the Jews.
Our friends have been few and far between. Due to either prejudice or always
being the convenient scapegoat for assorted dictators trying to stay in power.
There are biblical views and secular when it comes to Israel's security.
Since 1948 and the creation of the Jewish State, Israel has always stepped lightly.
She has always been worried that her supply of weapons were based on some sort
of compliance with US policy etc.
Israel is the technology leader of the world. She makes her own tanks (Merkava)and
is developing weapon systems and defense systems (Iron Shield the latest)that are
second to none. Nuclear power goes without saying.
The time has come for Israel to decide is she can stand alone. Does she need the
aid guarantees the US provides or does the US need the "foothold" in the Mid East
and the Israeli technology centers.
I believe that Israel still has the chance to begin to expel the enemy (Arabs)
from within Israel as it stands now. She also needs to pressure George Bush to
get the King of Jordan to accept his relatives. Then Israel needs to retake Gaza..annex it expel the enemy and move on to Judea and Samaria successively.
World opinion will condemn, the pathetic UN will condemn, the US will stand down
if the the King of Jordan accepts back his people.
After this is completed, when Rockets hit Israel she can return fire to a sovereign country.
the relationship between Israel and the US will strengthened immeasurably and some real teamwork can occur.
It is time for the world or the US to stand up and say the displaced Jordanians need to go home. Israel deserves her biblical land.
that of course is the secular view...based on what? what is the secular view based on? At the very least Israel is entitled to keep all the land she won in the defensive wars that expanded her boundaries.
Time is running out!
Either the Persians, Some fanatical Muslim Group or just some rogue Arabs will get their hands on nukes and then the landscape of the Mid East will change forever.
