And I was in the Sinai with the IDF when they surrounded the Egyptian 3rd army during the Yom Kipper War. So what! I have friends who were Muslims also, and a very dear friend, whose father was a doctor in Iran fled because they wanted to kill him because he was a homosexual. Another friend had to flee because he was Jewish. 1,000,000 Jews were kicked out by Arabs and had to flee to Israel. Many others went elsewhere, many here. You forget, there is military ADMINISTRATION of the West Bank because and Gaza because there are terrorists there. Let me say that again: TERRORISTS. They are fighting a war, one more legitimate than ours because their enemy lives in the neighborhood. Of course there is military there. ... My attitude was one that supported Sharon, because I care about the lives of Jews in Israel (and no less the Arabs there) as did over 70% of all Israelis, including the left. Be reasonable. I don't care if you are married to an Israeli. I know a lot of dumb Jews... Hank On Wed, 8 Feb 2006, Reggie wrote: > I've lived in the region.
