raisin developed in Israel. (who knew there
was such a thing?)

First 3 'graphs:
=================
Eating your vegetables just got a whole lot
healthier. An Israeli company has just
created a new tasty tomato that is high in
natural antioxidants that can help treat and
prevent disease.
Naturally bred to include high amounts of
the compound lycopene, previously available
only as a dietary supplement, the
Israeli-developed Lyc-O-Mato brand
self-dried cherry tomato raisin will now be
available as a food additive.
Lycopene is a nutrient and antioxidant that
is naturally occurring in small quantities
in vegetables such as tomatoes. It has been
suggested that it can help treat
cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes,
osteoporosis, and even male infertility. It
is also useful in supporting skin health.

This idea is still born as far as I'm
concerned until the Palestinians get their
land back. I will buy nothing Israeli,
although I know many good people live there.
That should be enough to derail the group for
awhile.
Uh, oh! So much for our relationship.
Suggestion: Do a little research rather than
relying on shrill Arab lies; they are expert at
manipulating media and people.
Don't bother to reply, as I will no longer be
reading your posts.

Jews and Moslems lived together for fifteen
hundred years. Then the UN said to the
Palestinians, this land is no longer yours. How
many of you would let foreigners chase you from
your land? In the Nakba, in 1948, Palestinians
fled for their lives. They are not allowed to
return. Under international law, this is
illegal. Israel is in defiance of at least 2 UN
resolutions for Israeli withdrawal from land
under Israeli "occupation". Resistance to
Israeli occupation is termed terrorism. Israelis
have F-16 jets and Abrams tanks. Palestinians
have baskets with
bombs in them. Peace groups in Israel have had
hand grenades thrown at them. Yitzhak Rabin,
Prime Minister of Israel, was assassinated
because he proposed peace, not a just peace, but
peace. Rachel Corrie, an American peace activist
was run over by an armored Caterpillar tractor
that was going to destroy a home with a family
inside it. The documentary, "Death in Gaza"
(HBO) describes James Miller and Saira Shah
attempt to give a balance view of the conflict.
Miller was killed by Israeli forces. Israel's
offer of peace is what "white" South Africa
offered black Africans, apartheid. It wasn't
acceptable then. It's not acceptable now.
And, sadly, The Queen of the Underworld,
Persephone has shown the same lack of
flexibility as the state she promotes.
Here is a plan:
The United States should BUY from Mexico a strip
of land along the Mexican / U.S. border about 10
miles wide. The U.S. could then tell Israel that
this is their new "Promised Land". The Jews
would leave the Middle East. The Jews would have
a new group of people to exploit and they would
serve as a buffer to help prevent the invasion of
the United States by poor Mexicans. Those Jews
know how to build fences and walls. The land is
mostly hot and dry desert type climate which the
Jews are used to. If the Jews insisted on
fighting a war, they could go up to Utah and pick
on the Mormans. Joe Lieberman could satisfy his
political ambitions and run for President of the
new "Promised Land". A lot of issues would be
solved.
The "Promised Land" next to "Jesus Land"? Hmmm.
I think the thing is this concept of an ethnically pure state. The idea
was tried in the first half of the 20th century and got pretty nasty
reviews. How about, "you can be in my dream, if I can be in yours". Of
course this conflict is no more about religion than it was in Northern
Ireland. It is plain ol' greed and desire. I say, go back to the way it
was. One country, with life, liberty and, justice for all. But maybe
that's just me.
