Time

Not really a post, it just occurred to me watching the seconds tick by on the clock that no matter where in the world you are the seconds are still the same...I know that isn't very profound...It's just funny...43...44...45...46...like a global heartbeat 3ooo miles away or 7563 miles away it doesn't matter. We talk on the phone and our seconds are measured the same regardless of where in the sky, relative to us, the sun is, or even if it is shining at all. Our moments are counted or not, is it changed by the observation of it? The seconds go...18...19...20...21... every one a promise, a breath closer to the time of our L-rd when perhaps time will cease to be immovable or change in some unfathomable fabulous way...9...10...11...

Home?

Wow! I downloaded the "Virtual Kotel" from the JerusalemPost.com. I just get the cheezy free version (cause I b broke:+D) but it is just so amazing! It is exacetly (sic) midnight here and here I sit glued to a wall so far away from my reality it makes me want to cry.

There is a man whom the camera is currently zoomed in on. He is fascinating to me. Does he comprehend the value of his presence at that place. He is standing to the left of a niche in the wall with some sort of small white "structure" inside. I long to ask him; "what is that?" I want to invite him to sit with me in the chairs behind him and ask him; what it is like to be Jewish? and be home? Home?..... this is a hurtful topic...I am as of tomorrow, well today seeing as how it is past tomorrow now, most possibly homeless...well houseless anyway...my landlords have likely sold my little tiny place and...

Anyhow, What is it like for him to be standing next to the home of his faith, in the center of the universe, touching stones that link him to his spiritual past, present, and future? Standing there in his blue striped white tallit a moment in an eternity of G-ds presence. Does he grasp even for a micro-second the import of his actions he lays his hand against the wall "The Wall?" does the rock feel like rock, is it cold and lifeless? is it something more? I beg him from thousands upon thousands of miles away...but it is day there...and it is night here and i am left unanswered. I must be contented for now with a glimpse. A stolen jealous almost gentile glimpse...and he is gone? My curse for him is that he forever remember and feel those stones against his hand...may he always long for them and look towards the day when stone is again laid on stone, word upon word, light upon light, G-d resides again and all is set again to right.

Israel

G-d is watching her...She is the apple of his eye...He will ultimately have the victory for her and her people, the Jewish people.

Meantime...she is beset on all sides by hatred, ignorance, and pure evil. As if it were not enough that this small jewel in the dessert is surrounded by her enemies, countries with evil so bold as to daily and publicly call for her annihilation, she is attacked from within. It seems that every one of her leaders have a problem with their brains. A blindness that, despite all evidence to the contrary, causes them to believe that if they cut her to pieces and parcel her out to her enemies they will at last grant her peace, in total opposition to the holy commands of their Quran, which calls vehemently for the destruction of the so-called "abomination that is Israel" and the brutal and bloodthirsty death of her people. In an almost comical fashion they cling to the idea of peace at any cost. I wonder if Hitler would have been willing to give the world peace had the leaders at that time come to him and said; "look Mr. we will give you all of Europe and Asia, but we would like to keep Africa and North and South America, Deal?" Even he might have been willing to bargain. And why not? What is the reason you do not give your enemies land for peace? What is the reason you do not give a tantruming child the object of its desire?

Hello! ANSWER: Because it only encourages their BAD behaviour!

You need only to look at history to confirm the path that Israel should take when dealing with its enemies.

You need only to ask yourself what historically has Israel received for all the land it has portioned out to her enemies.

Is there peace reigning in Israel? or are there rockets still falling? Are suicide bombers still targeting innocents?
Have the leaders of all the surrounding Muslim nations pledged to aid, protect, and ally themselves with her? or do they daily still call for the blood of the Jewish people (G-ds own chosen people) to fertilize the land.

I wonder how the people of this land live with such behaviour from their leaders...
I wonder if they pray, as I do, that someone finally steps up and says in no uncertain terms:

Enough is Enough!
