People tend to forget that twice the casualties from terror get killed on the roads!
More people still die from heart attacks, cancer and other things. They just don't show them on TV.
Don't misunderstand me, there is a war going on. It's not pleasant, but it's only TV and the media that make people think that the end of the world is coming.
Only 60 years ago, they were leading Jews to their deaths, like sheep to the slaughter!
No Country. No Army. 55 years ago! Seven Arab countries declared war on the little Jewish State, only a few hours old!
We were then 650,000 Jews against the rest of the Arab world! No IDF [ Israel Defense Force]. No mighty Air Force—just tough people with nowhere to go.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya and Saudi Arabia attacked all at once.
The country the UN “gave us” was 65% desert. The country started from scratch, 35 years ago!
We fought the three strongest armies in the Middle East, and wiped them out in six days. We fought against different coalitions of Arab countries, with modern armies, and masses of Soviet Russian weapons, and we still won!
We have today, a country, an army, a strong Air Force, a Hi-Tech economy, exporting millions. Intel, Microsoft and IBM develop their stuff here.
Our doctors win world prizes for medical developments. We made the desert flourish, selling oranges and vegetables to the world.
Israel has sent its own satellite into space! Three satellites all together! Israel is in the world nuclear power family, with the US, Russia, China, India, France, and England.
We Are Survivors
To think that only 60 years ago, we were led, shameful, with no hope, to our deaths! We crawled out of the burning ashes of Europe. We won our wars here with less than nothing in our hands. We built an “empire” out of nothing.
Who the heck was Mr. Arafat to make me scared? To make me be terrified? You make me laugh!
Passover was celebrated. Let's not forget what the story is all about. We overcame Pharaoh, we overcame the Greeks, we overcame the Romans, we overcame the Inquisition in Spain, we overcame the Pogroms in Russia,we overcame Hitler, we overcame the Germans, we overcame the Holocaust, we overcame the armies of the seven Arab countries, and we overcame Saddam! We will overcome the present enemies too.
So, let's lift our heads high—let's remember—any nation or culture that tried to mess around with us was destroyed, while we kept going!
Egypt? Does anyone know where their empire disappeared to? The Greeks? Alexander of Macedonia? The Romans? Does anyone today speak Latin? The Third Reich? Anyone heard any news about it lately?
And look at us, the nation from the Bible, from slavery in Egypt—we are still here, speaking the same language!
Right here, right now. The Arabs don't know it yet, but, they will learn that there is one G-d. As long as we keep our identity, we are eternal.
So, sorry for not worrying, not crying, not being scared. Things are okay here. They surely can be better, but still, don't fall for the media junk.
They won't tell you that there are festivals going on, that people keep on living, that people are going out, that people are seeing friends.
Yes, our morale is low, so what? It's only because we weep for our dead while they enjoy the blood.
This is the same reason why e’ll win, after all.
