RE: HSIG - Dry Bones On Osama Bin Laden Take Out
5/4/2011 4:52:36 PM
Hello Friends,

Yesterday Drybones came up with this jewel of a satiric graphic. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Shalom,

Peter



I woke up this morning to the welcome news that mass murderer Osama Bin Laden had been taken out. Naturally I had to do a cartoon, but then the "Burial at Sea" story broke.Where in the world will this latest development take us?! Will this be the basis of a new rift in America? Is America in for yet another conspiracy war?!!

Right now I'm in my studio doing a ton of cartoons before leaving for a U.S. lecture tour.I'll be in America on my "Dry Bones Campaign to turn Z Street into the Grass Roots Zionist Movement that America Needs", and to explain my YIISA (Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism) "Secret Codes" findings.

There's a lot to be said for "gut feelings" aren't there Peter. More times than not they are right on. My gut feeling too was how convenient this is to take most of the focus off the fake COLB and the extremely damaging information in Obama Senior's immigration files, especially happening as quickly as it did after this information became public. These two topics were the highlights of the news.
My thoughts too are why would anyone believe anything Obama and his administration say after all that has transpired with the obviously fake COLB? He campaigned on the promise of a transparent presidency and I don't think it can become any more transparent that we have a liar and a fraud in that position. And now as Dry Bones has so aptly stated with the body supposedly buried at sea how will we ever know the truth?
I posted these two articles earlier at your thread "The President That Hates His Country" Both are excellent articles.

Israel's Memorial Day
5/7/2011 8:04:15 AM
Hello Friends,

Sunday evening is the beginning of Israeli Memorial Day to commemorate the deaths of Israeli soldiers and civilians killed in the many wars and terrorist attacks since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. On Monday evening we start the celebration of Israel's 63 Independence Day which falls on Tuesday this year. Memorial Day is a sad and difficult time for us all cos each and every one of us knew, was related to or has friends and family who lost loved ones and the transition from mourning for our dead to the happiness of celebrating Israel's independence Day is a difficult one and for many hard to comprehend.

For many years I was of the opinion that the transition from mourning to joy in the space of a second is not natural and a buffer of a few days between would have been more appropriate. As the years have gone by I understood that this is simple fact of life. We will mourn our dead but also the fact that their bravery enabled us to establish and defend our country to this very day their lives weren't lost in vain.

On Thursday I spoke to a woman who is a customer of the business I'm running. She had a problem and asked for my assistance which of course she got. During the discussion she mentioned that we'll talk again on Wednesday since she's going up North for the weekend and will be back only after Independence Day. It turned out that she lost a son in the Six Day War and the ceremony on Monday will be in the cemetery where he's buried near Tiberius. I asked her if the transition from mourning to joy isn't difficult for her and her answer was a simple one. "Not a day goes by that I don't mourn the loss of my son yet I live on and enjoy life to the fullest with the ache in my heart that he's not here to enjoy it with me. The same holds true for Memorial Day and Independence day. I know he was willing to die in the defense of his country cos he told me so many times and the sad fact that he lost his life doing just that is why it's not difficult for me personally to go from mourning to sadness. I celebrate the freedom we have as a nation and that the Jewish people nave a home of their own". Just as a point of interest this woman is also a holocaust survivor so having a "home of their own" is of special importance to her.

A local Rabbi recently told his congregration the following and I wanted to share it with you.
Quote:
Rabbi Shmuel Yaniv, Givat Shmuel:

The State of Israel was established in the year 5708 to the Creation of the World – and the 5,708th verse in the Torah reads, “And G-d will bring you to the Land inherited by your forefathers, and you will take possession of it, and He will do good to you…” (Deut. 30,5)


Shalom,

Peter

P.S. The Jewish calendar is a moon based one and starts with the creation of the world according to the Bible. That's why the Jewish Holidays fall on different dates each year according to the Gregorian calendar.

Memorial Day: Israel's 22,867 Fallen

by Maayana Miskin

A total of 22,867 IDF soldiers have fallen in battle or died during service over the course of Israel's history. Over the past year 183 soldiers joined that list; most of the recent casualties died during their mandatory service, but not of causes specifically related to their military duties.

There are currently 4,999 women living in Israel who lost a husband to war, according to the Defense Minister. There are 2,543 Israeli children who lost a parent in service, and 3,252 couples and 4,315 individual parents who lost a child.

In total, 18,361 people are currently defined as bereaved relatives of the first degree, a number which does not include the siblings of fallen soldiers.

On Sunday evening, a siren will sound at 8 pm to commemorate the fallen. Israelis across the country will stand in silence. After the siren, official memorial ceremonies will begin, including the central ceremony, to be held at the Western Wall (Kotel). President Shimon Peres and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz will attend.

A second siren blast will sound the next morning. The main daytime event will be held at the Har Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem, and will be attended by Peres and by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Memorial Day also commemorates civilians murdered by terrorists. A total of 2,443 Israeli civilians have been murdered by terrorists since 1950; 13 were killed over the course of the past year.
