This is why I LOVE being JEWISH

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF!
It's only TV and the media that make people think that
the end of our world is coming.

Only 60 years ago, they were leading Jews to their
death like sheep to the slaughter!
No Country, No Army.

55 years ago! Seven Arab countries declared war on the
small Jewish State,
only a few hours old!
We were then 650,000 Jews! Against the rest of the
Arab world!
No IDF [Israel Defense Force], No mighty Air Force.
Just tough people with nowhere to go.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi
Arabia, attacked all at once.

The country the UN "gave us" was 65% desert. The
country started from scratch!

35 years ago! We fought the three strongest armies in
the Middle East, and wiped them out in six days.

We fought against different coalitions of Arab
countries, with modern armies, and masses of Soviet
Russian weapons, and we still won!

We have today A country, An army, A strong Air Force,
A Hi-Tech Economy, exporting millions.

Intel - Microsoft - IBM develop their stuff here.

Our doctors win world prizes for medical developments.

We made the desert flourish, selling oranges and
vegetables to the world.

Israel has sent its own satellite into Space! Three
satellites all together!
We sit proudly, with the US, with 250 million people,
with Russia, with 200 million people, with China, with
1.1 billion people, with the Europeans -- France,
England, Germany, with 350 million people, the only
countries in the world to shoot something into space!

Israel is today in the world nuclear power family with
the US, Russia, China, India, France, and England.[We
don't admit it, but everyone knows...]

To think that only 60 years ago, we were led,
shameful, with no hope, to our death!
We crawled out of the burning ashes of Europe, we won
our wars here with less than nothing we built an
"empire" out of nothing.

Who the hell is Mr. Arafat to make me scared? To make
me be terrified? You make me laugh!

Passover was celebrated;
Let's not forget what the story is all about.
We overcame Pharaoh,
We overcame the Greeks,
We overcame the Romans,
We overcame the Inquisition in Spain,
We overcame the Pogroms in Russia,
We overcame Hitler,
We overcame the Germans,
We overcame the Holocaust,
We overcame the armies of the seven Arab countries,
We overcame Saddam.

Take it easy, folks, we will overcome the present
enemies too.

No matter which part of human history you try!
Think of it,
For us, the Jewish people, our situation has never
been better!
So, Let's Lift our Heads High,
Let's Remember:
Any nation or culture that tried to mess around with
us was destroyed -- while we kept going!

Egypt?
Anyone knows where their empire disappeared to?
Greeks?
Alexander of Macedonia?
The Romans?
Does anyone today speak Latin?
The Third Reich?
Anyone heard any news about it lately?

And look at us, The Nation from the Bible, from
Slavery in Egypt, we are still here, speaking the
same language! Right here, right now.

The Arabs don't know it yet, but, they will learn that
there is one G-D.

As long as we keep our identity, we are eternal.

So, sorry for not worrying, not bitching, not crying,
not being scared. Things are O.K. here. They surely
can be better, but still:
Don't fall for the media junk, they won't tell you
that there are festivals going on,
that people keep on living, that people are going out,
that people are seeing
friends.

Yes, our morale is low, so what?
It's only because we weep for our dead while they
enjoy the blood.

This is the same reason why, we will win, after all.

Forward this e- mail to the whole Jewish community,
and to people throughout the world. They are part of
our strength. It might help some of them to keep their
heads up high.
Tell them that there is nothing to worry about. Tell
them to think BIG, and to see the whole picture.

"See You Next Year in Jerusalem."
L'Shanah Tovah

Hello, MG,
I agree with every word of yours. But why sometimes I just hate being Jewish?
Is that because I had the curse of being born in a Jews-hating country? Or maybe because later I had the privilege to be adopted by a country where people are so tolerant and nice? Only when later I came to Israel I understood why we are so hated or so envied by outsiders. Living inside makes me see the all the good and all the bad we have in us much more sharply than before.
I am proud to be Israeli for the outside world, but when here in Israel I am told that I should go back to where I come from (wrong!! I'm not from there where thy think I come from), I just want to take my passport and to return to the paradise on Earth where I left My house, My friends and where My children were born.
Then I think that I am Jewish and that My place is here and I must stay to contribute to making this country better, the Israelis nicer and more tolerant.
I am definitely Jewish and definitely Israeli.

Dear LBV, it's never easy being Jewish regardless of where one was born! The entire world hates us, but that what gives us strengths, our best friends are antisemites, they allways remind us who we are!
Do not pay any attention to those stupid people that tell you to go back, they are just STUPID!!!!II would like to know where did you come from? I think may be from the same place I came to America. Please keep in touch!! Mistress Gatta

dear MG
u write all the time : we and we and we and we and we..... but u and all of the jews that are living in the usa . didnt do nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so please keep it like that and dont get credit for something that u didnt do. its very upseting and im sorry if i sounded upset but thaere is no other way to say it.

Mistress Gatta • 22 בספט׳ 2004

I really don't want anyone to get upset. No doubt about, it was I sraelis who won all the wars, built country out of nothing... b ut who are those Israelis? Jewish people that came from allover the world, and by the way some of them were American jews(GOLDA)
So when I write I always praise people of Israel, but think - was it all possible if it was not for support first from France, and later from United States- your biggest ally and friend.

gain, please dp not get upset- we all jews and we all love Erets Israel!!

Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man,
His enemies say he's on their land.
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
He's the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully just lives to survive,
He's criticized and condemned for being alive.
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin,
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.
He's the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land,
He's wandered the earth an exiled man.
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn,
He's always on trial for just being born.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized,
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad.
The bombs were meant for him.
He was supposed to feel bad.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him,
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac.
He's the neighborhood bully.

He got no allies to really speak of.
What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love.
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace,
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease.
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly.
To hurt one they would weep.
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Every empire that's enslaved him is gone,
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon.
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand,
In bed with nobody, under no one's command.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon,
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on.
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth,
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health.
He's the neighborhood bully.

What's anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin', they say.
He just likes to cause war.
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed,
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed.
He's the neighborhood bully.

What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill,
Running out the clock, time standing still,
Neighborhood bully.
