AddReply(230513,"Michelle\'s Message ","Larry","","09/05/07","There is a (superficial) analogy between Muslims having babies to make suicide bombers and Jewish women making babies to destroy the elites in Israel. The point is not that Olmert is acceptable; it is that if religious Jews view themselves as purely wonderful and secular Israelis as the enemy, the society will collapse before Michelle\'s baby becomes Prime Minister.

The seculars, particularly the virulently anti-religious elite, see that the religious are growing in number so they are going to great lengths to ensure that they maintain their stronghold on Israel\'s institutions.");
AddReply(230462,"The Original American Model","Norman Cohen","Los Angeles, CA","09/05/07","The United States became the greatest nation the world has ever known because it was founded upon a religious Judeo\n-Xtian heritage. It was very much a religious state, not one ruled by any specific religion but borne of a rich  religious colonial history with religious values and rules - including some Hebrew\nlearning in their Bible study.\nHashem smiled upon and blessed\nthis great nation, a nation that became a refuge for half\nof European Jewry. To the extent that the USA has been throwing its religious foundations away over the past\n50 years in favor of the idol worship of secular leftist\nideology, it has been in a serious decline and is on the way to Big Gov\'t. tyranny as a stepping-stone to the ash heap of history. You see, you cannot have a \"declaration of independence\" from tyranny without a declaration of dependence upon G-d.\n     ");

AddReply(230350,"religious is no guarantee for the Land","Shlomo","ex Gush Katif","09/04/07","There is a serious lack of analysis in this so-called \"demographic\" good news...how could anyone who understands anything, or even reads a7 headlines, write such an inaccurate statement: \"We see less tolerance for anti-Jewish secular policies\"..that borders on delusional.  So the destruction of Gush Katif (lost my house to your newly tolerant Israel), the gay parade in Jerusalem (this year), the 250 heads broken at Amona (I only had my ribs broken), the 3 (THREE!) violent evictions in Hebron (synagogue desecrated by Jewish tolerant soldiers).  Israel is spiraling into disaster, and to think demographics will save it, is as shallow an analyis as the left\'s demographic argument to give Land away, chv\'sh...and let\'s say the facts here...the two largest \"rabbis\" in the Land of Israel, who lead over half million Jews, sold out Gush Katif and sit with evil..So much for religious salvation!");

You see, they have already set afoot a plan to murder all these Jewish children and their parents.  Only armed self defense can ensure that the Jewish children of the Holy Land will have the time to grow up and take power.  But the religious will not fight against their Israeli \"brothers\".");

AddReply(230199,"As I understand it ...","Eli Reuven","Newton, MA","09/04/07","... your reference, \"to keep the state from its religious roots\", is not correct.  Sure, religious Jews have lived in the land of Israel for millennia, but the State of Israel was founded by secular socialist Jews, not religious Jews. I for one hope never to see Israel run as a religious state, for that will only lead to tyranny.  The founding fathers of the United States knew that very well.  Also, secularism itself does not lead to Jewish self-hatred, defeatism and alliances with our enemies.  Religious Jews have gone down that same path.  It\'s not secular vs religious.  Something else plagues us as a result of which we turn on each other and become enemies of ourselves, worse than any gentile enemy.");
AddReply(230196,"Yes, but ...","Yehoshua Friedman","Kochav Hashahar","09/04/07","It will take a number of years. The degree of desperation of the elite will grow the closer the inevitable gets to reality. I fully expect to see the bankrupt leadership invite in foreign troops as did the Communists in Hungary in \'56 and Czechoslovakia in \'68. The gemara in Sanhedrin (98) talks about the suffering close to the time of the redemption and says that foreign forces will come in and rule in Eretz Yisrael for 9 months before the redemption, that period being compared to period of gestation before birth. Remember that before Gush Katif there were the Saison and the Altalena. This is not just elections and mickey-mouse arrests. People can get killed. Let us please save the euphoria for later and meanwhile learn Torah and pray and raise our kids to be healthy Jews in Eretz Yisrael who will be able to be leaders.");

Michelle Nevada is correct. The suicide left knows it\'s time is coming to an end. It is determined to do as much damage as possible while it still can. If we allow Olmert to implement his evil plan to give Judea and Samaria away to our mortal enemies, every inch of Israel will be within terrorist rocket range. All of Israel would become uninhabitable, as our South Lebanon and Gaza retreats made Northern Israel uninhabitable.

MANY SAY THAT G-D WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE NATION OF ISRAEL TO BE DEFEATED BY THEIR ENEMIES. THEY NEED TO READ THE TORRAH MORE CARFULLY.

The wave of aliyah after the Six Day War, the large aliyah from the CIS and others changed the demographics of Israel in ways that were not predicted. The demographics you quote are indeed a good sign, but when taking a rational look at the state of affairs in Israel one realizes that we have a great deal of work ahead of us.
