You're all locked in a dream box if you think Bibi's political gymnastics will score higher than Olmert's. The facts required for our survival are two fold and they are not found in your "dream tool box".

1. Israel has embarked on the loser path since her stunning, globally resounding and miraculous 1967 Six Day War Victory. By proving to the world that she will continuously empower terrorism, she has allowed terror to proliferate globally and demonstrated that she is a danger to all normal people who use their military to defend themselves. So as a danger to the planet, steps are being orchestrated by America, et al, to eradicate Israel. You can explain that Israel has a right to exist as a secular state justified by the holocaust or as a religious state based on the Bible, but the world is only impressed by a people willing to defend itself by striking fear into the hearts of its enemies, not by appealing to their and the world's "empathy".

2. All world religions have been one of the main reasons for which people willingly went to war. Our religion like others has replaced actual service to God with rituals, ceremonies, liturgy and fetishes He could care less about. As a result we fail at our real mission of establishing all human endeavors in a moral and spiritual context. And we fail at becoming the pure vessels in whom God's Spirit can dwell. In effect, we are still at the primitive level where we think God resides in the golden calf rather than in the golden heart !

So our dilemma is that no one can respect our suicidal politics and God can't protect us because we refuse to obey His commands. So, in all honesty, if you really want to avert the up coming Holocaust, contact me and let's start broadcasting what we really need to survive and not what you wish we need.

Sincerely,

Ron Singer
