Annapolis

[stilltrucking]

SO I am a fugging optimist
After all these years
A peace conference still cheers me up

If you are going to Ann Nap Po Lis
put some flowers in your hair.

Syria is coming to the party
First it was a conference
than it was a meeting
Now they are calling it a hoe down

what should i say to this schle·miel
the editorial page editor
well here goeth another one

This "summit" is all about show, nothing more. Talk about too-little, too-late," well this is an epitome.

Nothing will be obtained from this discourse. Gaza will continue to be isolated. Lebanon will not get any war damage reparations or apologies from Israel, whose massive bombing campaign last year was way overboard. We forget about the five year old girl dead in a field. There was no reason to wage this bombing campaign. Hezbollah is now stronger than ever inside Lebanon.

The parameters of this so-called pseudo-conference will not include any genuine reference to opposing viewpoints, but are merely another photo-op for Ms Rice to flash her ingenuous smile.

Israel needs to get stronger by becoming a good neighbor and allowing the Palestinians to follow their democratically elected choices without penalizing them for doing so.

The U.S. also agreed to put the fate of Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on the agenda to entice Syria to attend.

This morning there was a story in the Washington Post about the Annapolis meeting they had a picture of Bush standing in front of an Israeli flag. Not a good sign I don’t suppose. You would have thunk they would have thought about that. Not sure if it was a stock photo on file or the actual photo taken at the time of his speach. I wonder about stuff like that.

I guess you are right jim, but I am an Op-tessimist

I can’t carry a tune but lets sing a song for peace anyway.
The Song for Peace An Israeli soldier in the six day war wrote it. It was banned by the military for being "defeatest"

They say Izhak Rabin sang it just before he was murdered.

Nobody talking about Gilad either, but then again he is a soldier.

Speaking of the six day war, some people remember the Alamo. I remember the USS Liberty.


Just a tragic mistake LBJ said.

If you go to any neo n*zi website they will have plenty about the USS Liberty jim.

But these guys don't sound like Neo N*zi's to me.

They sound sincere, they want closure for their dead comrades I think.
I only mention this because it was the end of my innocence about the government of Israel.

I will probably delete this later, don't want to sound like a self hating jew you know.

mercy you ain't a gonna do it

when i was down and out in nyc
i went to th veterans desk at the job place
the young fellow there told me he'd been in th israeli army
in th sicks day war
he knew i was living with an acute consciousness of my own mortality
and so he said something that related to the eternal essential truth
sometimes ya go to a war an come back having sympathy for the other side
one can hope

Here is the other side jim
I just don't know

Many of the survivors of the Liberty remain bitter, and are convinced the attack was deliberate as they make clear on their web site. In 1991, columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak trumpeted their discovery of an American who said he had been in the Israeli war room when the decision was made to knowingly attack the American ship.4 In fact, that individual, Seth Mintz, wrote a letter to the Washington Post on November 9, 1991, in which he said he was misquoted by Evans and Novak and that the attack, was, in fact, a "case of mistaken identity." Moreover, the man who Mintz originally said had been with him, a Gen. Benni Matti, does not exist.

I don't know what kind of jew I am, I went to the cemetary on veterans day. There was a stone pedestal with a bowl of small pebbles on stop and a little sign. The sign said that it is a Jewish tradition to leave a small stone on the grave of a loved one. I been to quite a few Jewish funerals in my day. Nobody ever left a stone that I can remember. I don't know.

I been reading the Age of Louis XIV trying to learn something about Spinoza. How the Jews chased from country after country, I can understand why some feel they must have a homeland. Me I am happy to be tolerated here. I suppose toleration is pretty good for a jew. Maybe not enough for gays but I am very grateful to be tolerated.

I still remember your comment about the cheap land in the occupied territories.

Maybe this is the kind of Jew I am.

Smuts had the brain of a Jew; not of the Jew who produced great music and art, nor of the Jew who handled the intricacies of small businesses or of big finance, but of the Jew who pondered over the minutiae of the Scriptures, who cogitated the labyrinthine arguments of the Talmud, and laboured out the erudite, dry-as-dust philosophies of Spinoza. Men with hard, material outlooks, yet with sudden streaks of idealism and great world conceptions, who dealt with facts as the cold desert moonlight deals with shadows, dividing light and darkness with a clear line, and not as the warm sunlight, which weaves them into colours that blend and change. Smuts, like the Jews, could understand, even glory in, Isaiah, but he could not enjoy a fairy story or laugh lightly at a thin joke.

Speaking about going to war and coming home, I am looking for a quote from a mother about how her child came home changed.

[gypsyjoker]

this avatar for this sock puppet is Baron DeHirsh. He is the reason I am sitting here today. He brought my grandmother and grandfather to the new world.

Hirsch was approached by Theodor Herzl to request his support for the Zionist movement, but he regarded the creation of a Jewish state as a fantasy and refused any assistance. At the same time, he had become convinced that Jews were fated to suffer as long as they remained in Eastern Europe. He believed that emigration to nations without a history of antisemitism, where Jews would be treated as equal citizens, would lead to both a physical and moral rebirth of Jewry.

That guy Smuts is interesting to me. Not sure if you are familiar with The Balfour Proclamation? Smuts was instrumental in getting in adopted, had more to do with politics and money than religion. The idea of a modern state of Israel got its impetus from a Jesuit priest. It is all so strange. Mel Gibson and his comments about the Jews being behind all the wars. H*tler and the stab in the back by the Jewish bankers. It all has some nebulous facts behind it. But it was more to do with the white folks than the jews.

Well we got more important stuff to talk about on studio eight. I will let this go.

I am not as bad as I used to be, I would really rant and rave if someone started talking about the holy land. Whose god was abraham's before the jews?the answer maybe written in one of those cunieform tablets. Older than the jews.

talk at you later

I read you post to the nation
like I said probably right
but who knows
I can dream can't I

I don't expect this to matter to anyone. But after world war two some people have the impression that the jews could have all went back home to Poland, and the other countries of Europe where they were taken from. Nobody wanted those jews back jim People were living in their confiscated property and were not about to give it back. For most of the survivors of the holocaust their only option was palestine. The European museums and american too are full of confiscated jewish private property. I don't think the Swiss have released all the N*zi gold.
And the killings of the jews did not stop at the end of the war, mascares still taking place in some places.

Not like world war two ended and every one said sorry, come on home.

SO there it is.

Golon heights a dam good place for artillery, that is what Syria used it for before 1967, to lob shells into Israel at their leisure. Only way I can see if is if it is turned into a DMZ.

Meanwhile
I am hammer down jimbo
hammer hammer

I suppose it will all work out for the best.

done.

Some people remember the USS Liberty
I remember the SS St. Louis
