Hebrew National,the hot dog makers' slogan is "We hold to a higher standard". This is great for hotdogs. Yet,the USA seems to think Israel should be like a hot dog. Israel,a little parcel of land given to the Jews by the UN seems to be the " whipping boy" for the world.

This is not an unusual position for Jews. Anti-semitism is hardly a new invention. Yet,with all the horrors going on in the World why is Israel singled out? Partly because the "Arabs" pretend they will accept Israel. This notion creates a delusional foreign policy. Israel will never be accepted. Just,look at today's U.N. and the picture becomes clearer. There's a saying in the Arab street:"First the Saturday people(Jews);next the Sunday people (Christians). We see the beginning of this theme in Iraq. Never under estimate the power of the word-infidel. It is the shibboleth of Islam.
Every defense in the service of our country or religious beliefs is a hard nose reality. I assure you,they will never be on a par of what Arabs do to their own.
The "cease fire ' is wishful thinking. Yet,Israel.out of gratitude to the U.S. goes along.Yes,I pray for peace and a free Israel and a Palestinian State. But, Abbas is a "trojan horse". Believing the Arabs will make us all into hot dogs will be the ultimate result.. Pass the mustard,please. And,I'm not talking about what Sadam used on the Kurds.
