Real News

... "a collection of some things that you might not have heard" from Naomi Ragen.

1. At the entrance to Jerusalem, right near the stop were soldiers going to the front get their rides, some=one has taken a large sheet and hand painted a sign which says: "Dear Soldier: "Thank you for helping to keep us safe. God bless you and keep you!" As we pass it in our cars, it brings tears to our eyes.

2. My neighbor, a busy lawyer with a beautiful home, has taken in a family of six strangers from Kiryat Shmona, sharing her home with them.

3.Our news reports that the IDF in Lebanon has found large stockpiles of weapons in mosques, and in private homes.

4.Our news reports that Hezbollah is keeping villagers from leaving their homes at gunpoint, forcing them to act as human sheilds to guard their weapons.

5. Hezbollah only targets civilians. Nasrallah murdered two little Arab boys in Nazareth, then called them
"shahids."

6. Hundreds of rockets have fallen today alone on Israel's northern towns. Not one person was killed, and only two were seriously injured. The Hilleli family of Safad were sitting in their living room watching the news when a rocket fell into the room. Only the mother we seriously hurt. In Nahariyah, Avi Oved was sitting at his computer checking where the rockets were falling, when he heard the siren and decided to stand in his stairwell. When he returned to his computer he found a rocket had landed in his chair.

The word "miracle" is used in news reports again, and again, and again.

7. We are fighting because Hezbollah and Hamas want a prisoner release. Who are the people they want to set free? Samir Kuntar, who landed on the beaches of Nahariyah, walked into an apartment house, took a father and his four year old daughter out. Then, as the father watched, they smashed the child's head in with a rock before shooting him. They want to release the men who set off bombs in the
cafeteria of Hebrew University, killing students and teachers. They want to release men who used the head of an infant for target practice. They want to make them a heroes welcome in Lebanon. These are the "political prisoners" you are hearing about on your news programs, making it sound like tit for tat. Your kidnapped Israeli soldier who was on his side of the border for our homocidal maniac and baby killer. It is to prevent this that our sons and daughters in the IDF now risk their lives; that the people of Israel endure the nightmare of bombardment. Only one thing stands between what happened to us sixty years ago, and what is happening to the Jewish people today: the IDF.

8. Our synagogue is collecting toys and food to send North.

9. Israel has already built an Israeli prison for Hezbollah. Twenty prisoners were taken today alone. Many more were killed.

10. Omar Bakri, the radical Muslim cleric who had his British citizenship revoked after the London bombings and fled the country wound up in Lebanon.Now, he wants to be evacuated by the ....British! Trying to board the refugee repatriation ship, he asked for a one month visa. British authorities him down. The preacher, who called for Muslims to rise up against Westerners, was frightened he would be bombed by the Israelis.

More soon.

Every blessing,
Naomi

Israel does have it's own choice land, New York city-- owned by Jewish Americans. Hollywood and Bevely Hills, CA is also owned by American Jewish. Same goes for most of Brooklyn NY. the New York Times is owned by Jewish, Alan Greenspan Jewish, Bill Gates Jewish, J. Abrahmoff lobbyist Jewish, half-founder of Google Sergei Brin jewish, the list goes on. Jewish have a land, it is the wealthiest part of the U.S. They control the media of the U.S., they control the most prestigious universities of the U.S., given their 3% of the national population. What "more" is expected? What of the Black american-- who owns NOTHING of america? Who cares, they're just 'blacks." Sad ugly truth, and racism lives well and strong
