Long Live the Stubborn Jew! (great read and terrific video!)
Well the fact Jews are Stubborn is not ‘breaking news’ (contrary to a reputation of caving) but what makes this breaking news is that people in general need to be reminded of it!!
When push comes to shove, make no mistake Jews are not to be messed with!!!!
“Today, Jews can walk proud. Today, there is (in spite of everything) a strong Israel. We have world reknowned universities and research labs, an overflowing of Torah study, employment, an abundance of food, new communities, and new families. And I’ll be damned if anyone tries to wrest our land from us. I have been living in my home which is ‘over the green line’ for almost 15 years. I have lived through at least 5 administrations telling me that I will have to leave my home. It was Rabin, then Peres, then Netanyahu, then Barak, then Sharon, and now Olmert (soon to be out). They are all gone, out of office, yet we Jews are still here. Man plans, and G-d laughs. Man proposes, but G-d disposes.
Like a horse with blinders, we don’t let the ‘noise’ and ‘distractions’ stop us from our purpose. We keep moving forward. We ignore perceived limitations and forge new paths. Let us thank those before us who were strong in their ideals and forged ahead. They didn’t sit and whine. They acted, and achieved in a no-nonsense sort of way. When my father served in the Israeli air force, they had to get planes from the junk yard and piece them together. They could barely protect Tel Aviv. When I served in the Israeli army/air force, one generation later, we were already flying jets over Iraq bombing its nuclear reactor. Long live the stubborn Jew!”
