The story of Israel at 60 is the tale of a little town named Sderot whose children play indoors because of Palestinian rockets, of a world-class tech industry that pioneered Wi-Fi and instant messaging, of a ...

AAAh A Likudnik in full throttle.

Egg or the chicken

Jews cant be trusted by Hamas.

Settlement building = theft.

Lipush, how do you expect them to put down their weapons when you are stealing their land.

You already have 78%

How much more do you want to steal?

ISRAEL'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF 2008

Part 1

(And in the same period of time, what has the Muslim world accomplished?)

1. Scientists in Israel, found that the brackish water,
drilled from underground desert aquifers, hundreds of feet deep, could
be used to raise warm-water fish. The geothermal water, less than
one-tenth as saline as sea water, free of pollutants, and a toasty 98
degrees on average, proves an ideal environment.

2. Israeli-developed designer-eyeglasses, promise mobile phone
and iPod users, a personalized, high-tech video display. Available to US
consumers next year, Lumus-Optical's lightweight and fashionable video
eyeglasses, feature a large transparent screen, floating in front of the
viewer's face, that projects their choice of movie, TV show, or video
Game.

3. When Stephen Hawkins visited Israel recently, he shared his
wisdom with scientists, students, and even the Prime Minister. But the
world's most renown victim of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or
Lou Gehrig's disease, also learned something, due to the Israeli
Association for ALS' advanced work in both embryonic and adult stem cell
research, as well as its proven track record with neurodegenerative
diseases. The Israeli research community is well on its way, to finding
a treatment for this fatal disease, which affects 30,000 Americans.

4. Israeli start-up, Veterix, has developed an innovative new
electronic capsule that sits in the stomach of a cow, sheep, or goat,
sending out real-time information on the health of the herd, to the
farmer via Email or cell phone. The e-capsule, which also sends out
alerts if animals are distressed, injured, or lost, is now being tested
on a herd of cows, in the hopes that the device will lead to tastier and
healthier meat and milk supplies.

5. The millions of Skype users worldwide, will soon have
access to the newly developed KishKish lie-detector. This free internet
service, based on voice stress analysis (a technique, commonly used in
criminal investigations), will be able to measure just how truthful that
person on the other end of the line, really is.

Part 2

6. Beating cardiac tissue has been created in a lab from human
embryonic stem cells by researchers at the Rappaport Medical Faculty and
the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology's biomedical Engineering
faculty. The work of Dr. Shulamit Levenberg and Prof. Lior Gepstein, has
also led to the creation of tiny blood vessels within the Tissue, making
possible its implantation in a human heart.

7. Israel's Magal Security Systems, is a worldwide leader in
computerized security systems, with products used in more than 70
countries around the world, protecting anything from national borders,
to nuclear facilities, refineries, and airports. The company's latest
Product, DreamBox, a state-of-the-art security system that includes
Intelligent video, audio and sensor management, is now being used by a
major water authority on the US east coast to safeguard the utility's
sites.

8. It is common knowledge that dogs have better night vision
than humans, and a vastly superior sense of smell and hearing. Israel's
Bio-Sense Technologies, recently delved further, and electronically
analyzed 350 d ifferent barks. Finding that dogs of all breeds and
sizes, bark the same alarm when they sense a threat, the firm has
designed the dog bark-reader, a sensor that can pick up a dog's alarm
bark, and alert the human operators. This is just one of a batch of
innovative security systems to emerge from Israel, which Forbes calls
'the go-to country for anti-terrorism technologies.'

9. Israeli company, BioControl Medical, sold its first
electrical stimulator to treat urinary incontinence to a US comp any for
$50 Million. Now, it is working on CardioFit, which uses electrical
nerve stimulation to treat congestive heart failure. With nearly five
million Americans presently affected by heart failure, and more than
400,000 new cases diagnosed yearly, the CardioFit is already generating
a great deal of excitement as the first device with the potential to
halt this deadly disease.

10. One year after Norway's Socialist Left Party launched its
boycott Israel campaign, the importing of Israeli good s has increased
by 15%, the strongest increase in many years, Statistics Norway reports.
In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the
world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have
strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than
to create hate and bloodshed.

Please pass this on to all that may be interested in making
our world a better place to live!

NOT TO TAKE AWAY FROM PALESTINIANS, IRAN, SYRIA AND THE REST OF THE
ARAB WORLD IN DEVELOPING BETTER ROCKETS, BETTER EXPLOSIVE BELTS AND
BETTER TRAINED HOMICIDE BOMBERS IN ORDER TO MURDER MORE INNOCENT
CHILDREN, WOMEN (THEY DON'T COUNT IN THEIR PART OF THE WORLD) AND MEN.
WAIT TILL THEY GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS, THEN YOU'LL SEE THE "PROGRESS"
THEY WILL MAKE.
BRACE YOURSELF!!!!

God tells Moses to exterminate the residents of Canaan and destroy all of their religious symbols and possessions. 33:50-52

Palestinians are decendants of Canaanites.

So what?

Take for example
Germany, scientific achievements made by the Nazi's during the years
1930-1945 surpasses some of the greatest achievements of all times.

Moral of the story...

If you occupy somebody elses land, all your cosy scientific discoveries means squat to the oppressed.

According to Jewish tradition, twelve tribes entered Canaan from Egypt and conquered it, led by Moses approximately 1240-1200 BC.

Which part of the above do you find challenging?

How far is Lod from Najd and Al Majdal?

Palestinian village called Najd has a new name, Sderot, after the original inhabitants were cleared out in 1954.

The Arab town of al-Majdal was described as a large village in the 16th century. In 1596 it was the 6th largest city in Palestine, with a population of 2,795

The Israeli national plan of June 1949 designated Majdal as a |Jewish area called Ashkelon and the Palestinians were no more.

Palestine History 101.

Thank you for allowing me to share this.

Shylock your mother, you stinky English a..hole.
Just had a talk with a great General called Eisenhower who saved your tiny little ass from the nazis. You never paid back the hundreds of billions of $$ and the 400.000 poor American G.I.s who died to save you and your kind cause you could't even defend yourself from a madman like SHITLER. Go and live with your muslim bro's who are destroying your country. You lost your empire, you lost the war with germany you losing your country to the muslim terrorists and you are complaining about Israel. Hey, we are home and defending it, which is much more than you will ever do. The sooner the muslims take over that placed called England the happier you will be. Wishes them all the luck. Stupid blind and deaf English people (if you are) will destroy whatever is left.

Andy, well and nicely said and very true. Israel is clearly one of the greatest countries in the world where Jews came back to live in their 3300 years old Kingdom of David.
During the recent years there is increasing support for the Jews in Israel and about hundred million Evangelist Christians in US recognize the Jews in Israel as the Children of Israel that God freed from 400 years of slavery in Egypt.
Israel was rebuilt as the eternal land of the Jews in 1948 with Jews that came from all over the world that renewed the Hebrew biblical language as their language.
Nevertheless, Israel still have to defeat and destroy the Islamic terrorist that are financed and armed by the Iranian radical Islamic evil and ugly regime that seek the killing of the Jews according to the Quran in a new holocaust and converting the biblical and historical Jewish land and its eternal capital Jerusalem to Islamic Shariya ruled state.
As the country with the fourth strongest military force in the world, Israel will fight those who seek the demise of the Jewish state and will defeat them, including ‘the head of the snake’ Ahmadinajad that will be destroyed.
However, small percentage of self-hating socialistic Jews like PM Olmert of which many of them live in Kibbutzs still aiming at ‘selling their land’ to the Islamic terrorists and supporting conversion of Israel to islamic state.
However, these defeatist self-destructive Jews are minority of less than 25% of the Jews in Israel.
