Israel self destruct

Rebirth of a Realist
It seems like just yesterday, I was an enthusiastic, patriotic American looking forward to a wonderful peaceful future. As the song goes, "Oh what a feeling." That was when my mother and father were so proud of the two-star banner they hung in the front window. That banner told everyone that their sons were in the war against fascism.
Will any generation ever have that feeling again? How wonderful to believe, as we did, that we had ended war forever. How wonderful to believe that we had defeated the forces of fascism and racism. Yes, naiveté has its place.
I must confess now, however, that I am one of the most cynical men on the planet. I am very doubtful about the future of the human animal. This same animal, which is by far the most vicious killer to walk the planet, not only kills millions of his own species every year, but also kills and devours millions of other species. He destroys the habitat of most of the other living creatures on the planet, and he is so stupid that he destroys his own environment. He pollutes his own water and fouls his own air, all in the name of greed. He sacrifices his family happiness to make enough money to build a huge house (bigger than his last one to show success) and own a bigger and more expensive car. He accumulates wealth and things that he or she does not use or need. Like everyone else, he will get sick and die and leave the money to be divided by lawyers, doctors, real estate agents, and the off spring who often pass it on to their drug dealer. One cannot help but get the impression in this new century that Capitalism, as we practice it today, has become a brain disorder spreading like a plague around the world.
My sister is at this time vegetating in a New Jersey Nursing home.
She has been there for over a year and her above average resources are being drained away. When I look at that once beautiful women, who is no longer able to communicate, and I think of how hard she worked to develop her rather large holdings, I become very angry. Many of the above-mentioned and others, all suffering from the same brain disorder, are viciously tearing at those holdings.
What a beautiful idea America was. "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America." Oh yes, what a hell of a great idea. I remember when I had to memorize that for a sixth grade play celebrating the Fourth of July. How did we let that great idea deteriorate into our present government?
The combination of the controlled media, the taking over of small town political committees along with the structured childhood of little league etc. appears to have bred the leadership gene out of the human animal. Today in every part of the world weak, personal agenda, leaders face constituent’s anger and yield to the likes Of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The man who tops my hero’s list (Uri Avnery) often points out that right wing, blind faith, fanatical Zionists create the very product they so often complain about; Anti-Semitism.

"It's hardly a new problem that Jewish communities have found themselves being criticized, attacked or even under threat as a result of wars in the Middle East involving Israel," but it's much worse today than in the past, said Robert Wistrich, director of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism at Hebrew University.
"Today there is a much more widespread antipathy and even revulsion in many mainstream public opinion circles, in Western countries as well, toward Israel that is more intense than it was 25 years ago," said Wistrich, a professor of European history.
Zionists are driven to self-destruction. One wonders what they do with the 3to5 billion American taxpayer’s dollars we send them every year. The division between the haves and have nots grows wider there every year.
Gov't Planning Sharp Welfare Cuts Despite Poverty Report 13:51 Aug 30, '06 / 6 Elul 5766
(IsraelNN.com) Finance Minister Avraham Hirchson is planning a series of welfare cuts amounting to more than $1.7 billion despite Wednesday's report that poverty in Israel has worsened. The government is trying to put together a 2007 budget that has to deal with unexpected costs as a result of the Hizbullah terrorist war, which brought about increased spending demands from the IDF and extra costs for rebuilding the north. Among the proposed cuts are cutting quotas for foreign workers, raising university tuitions, cutting child allowances for the first child, reducing benefits for discharged soldiers and obligating parents to pay school costs.
Globes - Rishon Le-Zion,IsraelThe National Insurance Institute published its 2005 poverty report today, which states that the number of poor rose by 92,200 compared with 2004. The increase was more than expected. The number of poor in Israel rose 6.2% from 1.53 million in 2004 to 1.63 million in 2005.
The most significant increase was in the number of poor children. 768,000 children lived below the poverty line in 2005, an increase of 7.7%, or 52,200 children, over 2004. The number of poor families rose by 4.2%, or 16,500 families, to 394,200 in 2005.

No, I don’t think we are the smartest species on the planet. If there is a life after death I would rather come back as an oak tree.
