re: #11 LudwigVanQuixote

Yes, but the one thing that history has taught me as a Jew is that step one is always having US agree on the priorities and to hell with the rest of ‘em. The haters will not care in any case. The ones on the fence might be swayed by the actual truth of things if stated with half the passion that the Arabs scream their lies.

In either case, it is not the job of the nations to give or take what is ours. It is our job to not be ashamed of demanding what is ours with one voice.

It is not theirs.

It never was.

It is ours.

MY birthright.

You’re not saying anything wrong, of course. You are most correct and no Jew is happy about the Dome of Rock. But my issue, particularly when speaking in mixed company as we are online, is to try to be a bit more diplomatic about it. I know you feel some things don’t deserve that kind of diplomacy and you’re right about that, too, but my feeling is you’re not getting heard because of it. And that’s probably worse than taking the stand. A stand, btw, most Jews take anyway.

For the sake of diplomacy and the new and improved (greatly) LGF, I’m trying to be a bit more kinder and gentler.

Windsagio is my challenge. I’m almost to the point of giving up there. He doesn’t want to listen I’ve been more than gracious to him many many time which he fails to remember. Many of us have.
