"Israel created a democratic state in the Middle East"

Israel also created a theocratic state in the Middle East.

"The desert did bloom"

Replacing arid lands with cities by expelling its inhabitants is
much like what happened to the Native Americans in the U.S.

"Education gave us some world class scientists and professionals"

Education did not give us compassion and understanding for other cultures and
their needs. It apparently did not teach tolerance.

"3d World nations rcvd technical aid in agriculture and other areas."

Some did and others didn't depending on which way the political wind blew.


GUEST--Nice to be anonymous---hell, you even made my comments anonymous. Why not give me the credit for those statements since I stand by them.

One can properly dispute everyone of your comments since my comments were based on fact. As to the last comment of yours--about political winds. Gee--no other nation ever does that except the U S and Israel. Surely not the Arab nations.   Which goes back to my original comment re: peace can only come through good will or intentions on all sides---and that goes anywhere in the world. It does not mean caving in as that kindly gent from Britain did when he met the kindly Mr. Hitler.

   Sad that this thread has deteriorated into personal attacks and vindictiveness by people who will only look at their own view as the correct one and then personally attack others.

   As to Rabbi Sol--while I do not have to vouch for him I can attest that he is a Rabbi (many persons are Rabbis without congregations---as there are Ministers without same). SO--Jack you good ole sailorman---can you prove that you are in the human species? Who will attest to that? I think I can guess

   As to Jimmy Carter---one of the most idealistic people to enter the national stage in ages. Sadly his administration failed because he was, surely, no politician. He was and is an idealist. His later years have proved that and also proved that he gets more results now than the later batch of presidents.

Besides---he had a nice mother---NOW--altogether let us sing a medley of songs about Mom---from Yiddishe Mama to Mother Macrea.
