Why are the Arabs, i.e. Muslims become stronger? It's because of their religious beliefs. Fundamentalist Islam is even on the rise in Turkey, despite it's secular governmental syatem created byu Kemal Attaturk. And they (Muslims) have their own definite opinions concerning places like Tiv-Taam. It all reminds me of the James Michner book, The Source, in which, at the end, the American, Israeli and Arab archiologists were standing on top of the ancient Tel Makor under which more than ten thousand years of history had transpired. The American turns to the Arab and asks him: "Who do you think will win out in the conflict over this land?" The Arab pauses, then replies: "The strongest! That's who!" And the 'strongest', also pertains to religious beliefs as well. You may have something there, Dorene. Why are the Arabs,

There is absolutely no justification for a Jewish state if Israel was not given to Jews by G-d. Once that connection is made, then the only reason Jews have a right to be in the land is because of the connection, which implies Jews have an obligation to live as G-d commanded. This explains why Jews who do not feel/believe in the G-d connection often doubt their rights to the land - justly so. If Jews need/want to be/eat like Goyim, they don’t need an Israel.

As for Oz, there was time when NOTHING was available on Shabbat; no TV, no stores, nothing. But again, people who wern't religious went out more instead of crowding the malls and sitting in front of the boob tube or PC like they do now. Maybe the religious community do have a point regarding 'recharging one's batteries on Shabbat. Of course, they'll never set foot in Tiv-Taam, but they do have stores like Meatland in Raanana, which sells things like Dr Pepper and cranberry sauce - neither of which are available in Tiv-Taam. Thanks Katherine,

Loose is an adjective. Lose is a verb. :) It’s the grammar police again - here to tell you it is losing, not loosing. Loose is an adjective. Lose is a verb.
