re: #89 Creeping Eruption
Israel seems to have the knack for climbing out from under everything dropped on her head.
That’s what happens when G-d is on your side.
Which is one reason the US should support Israel. There is a penalty for being a “support of reeds” for Israel. The economy started down when Bush et al stopped Israel from destroying the Iranian nuclear program, and down even faster with the Israel-hating 0ne in charge.
