The only reason the suburbanites (settlers) have any culture is because some of them were converts to Orthodoxy. \n\nSo what about that Yesha Council?");
AddReply(303105,"The eye is the window to one\'s soul.","MED","USA","05/01/08","Everything is written in one\'s eyes, and portrayed through the eyes.  That\'s the powerful means by which a person communicates his/her emotions.  \n\nJust see the expressions and eyes of the women in the poster above.  It tells one a whole lot -- of who is a secular (liberal) and who is religous (conservative).  \n\nBTW, Maya (=illusion in Sanskrit).  But there is no illusion here, i.e. something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.  That\'s where most of us fail.  The glamorous gets advertised, while the unpretentious  take a back seat.  \n\nIt\'s time the media -- cinema, fine arts and literature get down to expressions of reality rather than false \'maya\'.

As result, they refuse to consider the only solution that will save them from extermination -- total rejection of and disengagement from Medinat Israel in favor of Medinat Yehudah\n\n2) They refuse to cast out the traitors from their midst (e.g the author of this blog)\n\n3) They refuse to realize that the Israeli murderer and rapist responsible for Amona and Gush Katif is no more a Jew than Torquemada and the laws of Lashon Hara do not apply.\n\n4) They are overly concerned with \"truth\" instead of understanding that this is war and propaganda is a key weapon.");
