Goldsnow, do you find it interesting that the Muslim terrorist groups in the West Bank and Gaza are becoming more bloodthirsty and violent, as Muslim terrorist groups in Afghanistan are taking a beating? It seems to me that they are trying to open up another front, to the war against the civilized nations of the world, by attacking Israel. This all started with Arafat turning down a great peace offer from Israel, and, instead, started terrorist attacks. Then came the 9/11 attacks against the US. Coincidence? I think not. Israel is in a fight for it's very existence. The Muslim terrorist groups are going to increase their attacks against Israel. It is going to get far worse than it is right now. Any peace offers coming from the other Arab nations will either be totally worthless, or totally ignored by the Muslim terrorists groups accumulating in the West Bank and Gaza.

--except for the Hassidim-- hey who are those? i like the 'ashkenaz' or whatever... blue eyes... pale to light olive... black hair... brilliant minds... chiseled features... dark eyebrows... are they of the same race as ethiopian jews? someone told me that a study was done and the rabbis in all of the jewish 'tribes' (ethiopian, 'ashkenaz, sheppard' share a certain special gene in common... weird... maybe it's something the YHVH replenishes each generation, in those who are 'striving toward "Him"' ... if there are really a chosen people and a gentiles...that would be bizarre. racially pure? i don't know... if anyone of any ethnic group is claiming lineage back to a certain someone or group of someones... if one does the math it becomes a prospect of historical inbreeding after a matter of tracing back but a few generations.... for example.. say we go back 12 generations and alot 30 years to each generation. 1 child 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 12 generations past the child and 4096 ancestors... asssuming no 'inbreeding' 350 years or so... go back another 12 generations and then another 12, and keep going... and see how a certain lineage could really only be traced through 'inbreeding' at some point along the way. is that something for anyone - arabs, jews, whites, blacks, "puerto rican, just a freakin'" - to be proud of? this 'race thing' is a very peculiar subject as far as i'm concerned. is an italian the same 'race' as a dane? in the u.s. that would like asking whether someone from montana were the same race as an oregonian... depending upon who one asked, i'll bet the answer is different in either case. as for the bible and the koran; i'm thinking these were written by angry men, for the benefit of angry men. i have to admit though that the homosexuals at sodom were at least a tad bit out of line and got the proverbial 'what they deserved.' do you suppose there could have been another ark; an ark not told about in the bible?... an ark with the sons of cain on it... one which also survived the flood...? anyway, ask someone who or what a jew is and no one really seems to know for sure. the YHVH is a hearty joker... yes the great books were written for the benefit of angry men... it just struck me how in the bible for example, wanton women are seemingly despised by G-d. i can't see a real-life G-d as being like that... ...unless of course we are just like G-d (in "His" image) ... that would explain a lot... if we were acting the same way as G-d and vice versa....
