     Oh, stop laughing! Believe it or not, this is actually serious. Some of life's obvious (and yet profound) points come to us from sources we don't expect.

   Take...world history/current events, for example. One of the biggest issues brewing is the powder keg that is the Middle East. Oh sure, it's been that way for as long as I can remember. But then, I heard it as a kid and didn't pay a lot of attention. As an adult, I'm seeing what I didn't see or care about, when I was young.

  To look at the scenario in natural 'human' terms, Israel would seem to be in a no-win situation. The world sees the Arab nations (Muslim Brotherhood, PLO and the like) as heroes while Israel comes off, via the media, as the villain.

   Now, apart from the fact that the the city of JERUSALEM has been in JEWISH HANDS for at least 4000 years (since the days of King David) it is the height and depth of STUPIDITY to expect avowed enemies to live, as it were, under the same roof! And that's pretty much what this alleged two-state 'SOLUTION' boils down to.

   To illustrate the point, I'd like to share the particulars of a Bugs Bunny episode I saw recently. (So sue me, I'm a nostalgia freak!) Anywho, the story goes like this; Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole is covered over by a house built by Yosemite Sam. Of course, Sam, being a mainstay Warner Brothers scoundrel, insisted that Bugs was trespassing (sound familiar?) and so B.B takes the matter to court, where it's decided that the two share the 'disputed land' until one of them dies. At which time, the house and land would be inherited by the surviving resident. Brilliant idea...hmmm Not so much! See, from the day that decision was made, Yosemite Sam did EVERYTHING in his diabolical little imagination to get rid of Bugs Bunny, and to make sure HE was the surviving occupant of the house.  He'd try hitting Bugs with a mallet, used for 'straightening the carpet'. He poisoned his roomie's breakfast carrot juice, and crammed TNT down the rabbit hole (so he thought).  Doesn't that ring a few bells?

  In the eyes of the world court, (U.N) it seems to make sense to force Israel into

co-existence with a virulent enemy, who would just as soon poison  Israeli drinking water with drain cleaner before acknowledging Israel's right to exist! Compared to to what organizations (i.e. PLO) would do, if a TWO STATE NATION were forced on MID EAST tensions, Yosemite Sam would come off looking like Danny DeVito!

  Sadly, too.... TRAGICALLY, more like, is that the United Nations, (formerly the League of Nations, pre-World War 2) is making matters WORSE. They were supposed to be a body, dedicated to making sure that the atrocities of Nazi Germany did NOT occur again. Well, not only are they cheering on possible instigators; ('Imanutjob' of Iran ~Thank you, Jay Leno for that appropriate nickname!) but the UN appears to be aiding the REAL aggressors by forcing Israel to concede 'land for peace' until Israel is left with nowhere to call home when this modern-day Hitler decides to drive the Jews into the sea!

  As if it's not bad enough already, the U.S. President is singing the same tune; calling on ISRAEL to make the concessions and NOT those who would want the Jews driven from their own land. According to some sources, the AMERICAN map of the middle east does not show Israel (See Psalm 83 for clarity). Foolish! 

  In his book, "Eye to Eye", White House correspondent Bill Koenig has stipulated that those governments who get in the way of God's land and people end up suffering, one way or another. Disasters, man made or natural had a way of happening, as a result of, OR in order to curtail attempts to divide the land GOD gave to the descendants of Abraham, through Isaac. The most well known of which.... Spt 11^th.2001.  Twenty four hours before that day, King Abdullah and Pres Bush (jr) were in round the clock talks to figure out a way to create the dreaded 'two state solution'. (MINUS any input from Israel, might I add! )G-D'S answer might have sounded like something from an old folk song, ¯"You mess with MY land. I'll mess with your land."¯  And lest we forget... Israel's enemies are also America's enemies. If Obama thinks he's gonna play footsie with Imanutjob and the Muslim Brotherhood in order to put them off ripping into America, BOY, has he got another thing coming! Assuming, for the sake of discussion, that Imanutjob gets his way on Israel, America will be left pretty near defenseless, since it's unlikely the Brits will want to antagonize Muslim nations. Especially with their fairly large Muslim population.  And Canada will be AT LEAST ambivalent about helping a country that turned its back on the ONLY middle-eastern DEMOCRACY!

  As with the situation with America and Catrina.... America put Israel in a place of DESTROYING JEWISH SETTLEMENTS. In that same period, Hurricane Catrina left thousands of Americans homeless!  What goes around, comes around. I might also add, to those celebs in the PRO-Obama camp (Barbra Streisand, and other well known dems...) it is time to GET OFF THE FENCE!!! You are either PRO-ISRAEL OR pro-Obama. You CAN'T BE BOTH. If you think, for a second, that Imanutjob will care less how many concerts you've sold out or how many Oscars you've won, you're delusional! He and his lot consider America 'the great satan'. They HATE the Jewish people with a PASSION. If Israel is brought down (won't happen, but for the sake of discussion, let's say...)  what makes you think that Imanutjob and his cronies won't do worse to America,who, THEY see, as a spawning ground of moral degradation.

  On the other hand, let's play another scenario. Let's say Imanutjob tries with Israel and FAILS,  what makes Obama and his supporters so sure that they won't get hit, just for their standing with Israel's enemy?

 Back to the Bugs Bunny scenario....the ever-resourceful wabbit succeeded in outsmarting Yosemite Sam in his last attempt at killing him and destroying his home. Instead, Sam ended up sending his own house sky high and Bugs got his rabbit hole back. Fortunately, Israel has an ALLY a LOT more resourceful than even Bugs Bunny. And it's HIM Israel has to learn to trust. I mean, face it, gang, your neighbors might as well be the Manson's and with friends like Obama, who needs terrorists?
