You are way out, out in outer space. Besides, I was discussing whether Saddam Hussein should be brought to account for his criminal actions. His actions stand on their own, have nothing at all to do with Israel. You are picking on the wrong person! LOL

Dude, your anti-semitism is more in line with fascists than with the christian quotes you include in your profile.

Simply because Hatikva was composed by a great musician, and is essentially a hymn to hope, and with no hate, mind you. Had the Hatikwa been American, the polls would have been the same IMO. The question you raise is that of bi-allegeance. That problem in quite minute for the US Israeli citizens, as both countries are strong, committed to their ideals, allied, and not in competition. The problem is more acute between Israel and other nations that accept double citizenship, and whose foreign policy is outrageously anti Israeli. For business hopes with the Arabs, some ancestral antisemitism and pure jealousy. Now How much do you like the national anthems of : Morocco, ALgeria, Lybia, Egypt, Syria, Irak. Listen to them sometimes, you'll be delighted.

Historical Background of Hatikva The title of the national anthem, "Hatikva," means "The Hope." It was written in 1878 by Naftali Herz Imber, who moved to Palestine in 1882 from Galicia. The melody was probably arranged by one Samuel Cohen, an immigrant from Moldavia, from a musical theme in Smetana's "Moldau" that is based on an Eastern European folk song. Hatikva expresses the hope of the Jewish people, that they would someday return to the land of their forefathers as prophesied in the Old Testament. The Jewish people were exiled from Israel in 70 C.E. by the Roman army led by Titus who destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. During the two thousand years of exile, the Jewish people said special daily prayers for return to Israel while facing the East in the direction of Jerusalem. They celebrated the holidays according to Hebrew seasons and calendar. Zion is synonymous with Israel and Jerusalem. To hear the anthem... geocities.com GZ
