Two Years Anniversary of My Blog

I cannot believe two years has passed. July 23rd is the two years anniversary of the beginning of the journey to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Two years ago at this day, I started this blog with this(click here for the article) article and started it with the same picture. I started this blog with hope to find a way to manifest my thoughts into writing in a search to find peace. I was under the impression that I can somehow find an explanation for what is taking place around me by writing about it. In the past two years, a lot has changed. My life has gone through major and different stages. I have found many friends as result of this blog and I have lost some too. I guess some people do not like the way I think because it insults the way they live in this country. It has been an interesting two years of life and I have learned a lot in the process. It has been a very colorful two years and somehow I did not reflect these changes in my blog. Here is some information regarding the past two year of my blog:
There have been more than 40,000 hit to the site. On average, I have received 38-50 hits a day; the maximum amount of hit on a single day has been 558 hits and the minimum has been 3. I have posted about 121 posts. So far this year I have written about 35 articles. During 2007, I wrote about 72 articles. On average, I wrote about 4-6 articles a month. Recently I have slowed down in writing new articles. Most of the subjects I have written about are Israel with 47 tags, IDF on second place with 21 tags, and Iran on third place with 17 tags. These are the subjects that I am most passionate about, no wonder they have taken over my blog. Last year, thanks to Anti-Semites and Terrorist-Apologists’ childish and destructive behavior, I was forced to turn on the comment moderator. This had a huge impact in terms of preventing discussions. I have received prank phone calls, threats to my life, and many have attempted to use threat to prevent me from expressing my opinion. The blog has gone through 2 makeovers, however during last year; I did not change the blog’s design. I think I am happy with this design.
What future will bring? Even though I have been slowing down in terms of writing articles, however I have no intention of shutting down this blog. I have not really written about my personal life and it has been more focused on political matter, I will try to shift the subject too. I will also have guest writers too and I believe the articles will be law related articles. I am trying to find a way to write about my experiences as a kid. I will not change the design of the blog; however I will add more links to the side and take some off. I will also disable the comment moderator very soon. This will encourage more immediate discussion and the commentators would see their comment as soon as they submit it. I still have not decided the exact date.
In the end, this year and end of this year, the world is will witness a lot of events that will unfold in front of our eyes. I have a feeling that none of these events will be pleasant. However, I will continue writing about them.

Walk on Water

I am tired of politics and news. Lately, it is all bad news. So, I am going to distance myself from it at least for a day. This seems like a great movie. I am buying the video online and I invite everyone to do the same thing. I cannot wait until I watch it. This is the type of movie that will raise a lot of questions and I enjoy nothing more than that. Here is the trailer:

Israel’s Moral Superiority

Ok, I was very sad yesterday about this deal. However, after reading this article and what was said during the funeral, I am proud to be a Jew, Zionist, and a firm supporter of State of Israel. Hezbollah and Terrorist Apologists always try to impeach Israel’s character through twisting facts and stretching the truth or using tactics to somehow condemn Israel, however today Israel proved its moral superiority in its struggle for existence in this barbaric place. This is not a publicity stunt, it is not Photoshop of pictures, and it is not a propaganda clip. It is the truth of what Israel and its morality represent as a nation. Please read the eulogies; the victims’ families are not asking for revenge, they are not asking for Lebanese Skulls to be crushed or cursing Lebanese like Terrorists’ mothers do when their Terrorist son is arrested or killed. This is the difference between the two cultures, one civilized and one barbaric; one is right and justified and the other one is something else. This is the difference: one is celebrating the freedom of a child killer, and the other one paid the highest price for its citizens and soldiers to return home. The world can simply see who is the terrorists and acting like a terrorist and one who is the civilized one in the region. However, whether they would recognize it or not is another story. At the end, Israel: I have never been more proud of you as I am today. Her is the eulogy (click here for the story).

"I'm proud to belong to those who love and not to those who hate," Ofer Regev, brother of fallen soldier Eldad Regev, who was returned in Wednesday's prisoner swap with Hizbullah, said at Eldad's funeral Thursday.
Ofer began his eulogy with a quote from a song by Israeli rock idol Shalom Hanoch: "A strange man, your enemy, exactly like you / You know he does not want to die, exactly like you. We lived in a world where we believed our enemy was exactly like us. We thought we could speak to people who also wanted to raise a child, grow a flower, love a girl, exactly like us. But the enemy proved it is not like us. And still, we will not stop trying. I stand here today sad, crying, but proud; proud of my country that fought with me to bring you back, proud of every citizen who thought of you, Eldad, as his brother. I'm proud to belong to those who love and not to those who hate. And to the entire nation who paid a high price with clenched teeth, they know that camaraderie has no price."
Paraphrasing a famous saying by former Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, often inscribed on the gates of military bases, Ofer said "Every Hebrew mother should know that the fate of her sons, even if they are taken hostage, lies in the hands of commanders who will not rest and never give up until they return. I am proud of you my little brother, a man of many talents, a lover of literature and soccer. A true patriot both on the front lines and in everyday life, during reserve duty or in the volunteer work you carried out," continued Ofer.
Regev's other brother, Eyal, recounted how on Remembrance Day 2006, two months and 12 days before his capture, Eldad wrote: 'Maybe there is eventual comfort and hope, and remembrance and faith are not for nothing.' "My Eldad, may your memory be blessed," he said.
"On the twelfth of July, at nine hours and six minutes, time stopped," Karnit Goldwasser, the widow of Ehud Goldwasser said during his funeral. "A journey began for you and me - for us, the family, and for the entire country. Now you and I move on to the next journey, the journey of my life. You will be a full partner in it, you will continue to be my inner voice, eternally young, accompanying me throughout my life. It will be lived without you, but forever you will be there. My love, they say that time heals and covers wounds. Is that so? Two years have passed since that one moment when, with a wave of a knife, the artery of our life together was cut," Karnit continued. "That moment, the worst of all [moments], was turned into a horrible reality; a reality which sunk us all into a dark and complicated world. Please forgive me, my darling husband, for not [talking about] your many virtues here, those which accompanied me every step of the way during the struggle for your return. This isn't the place to do that. With your permission, I will make my personal farewell in my own time," Karnit said. Speaking before Karnit, Miki Goldwasser, Ehud's mother said, "I hope we can come to see the Second Lebanon War as a victory. We have found this nation to be a wonderful nation. We have found bereaved families with superior mental fortitude; we have found generosity. We have found the spirit of volunteering, the meaning of the word friendship. This is an amazing nation," she continued. While Karnit and the rest of the family shed tears of grief, the mother remained stoic. "I will not cry here. I will save the crying for later," she said.
"I would like to salute the Arad family," the bereaved mother said, referring to the family of Ron Arad, the IAF navigator missing since 1986. "I would like to salute the members of the Shahar family - it took great strength for them to come. And in particular, I would like to salute a great woman who has been my inspiration by standing up to all horrors with her head held high - Smadar Haran."
Eliyahu Shahar was one of the policemen killed by Lebanese murderer Samir Kuntar, whose release was part of the swap deal to return the bodies of Goldwasser and Regev. Smadar Haran lost her husband Danny and daughter Einat to Kuntar's murderous brutality in 1979. She also accidentally smothered her other daughter to death while hiding from Kuntar.
"If not for your kidnapping and Israel's response, Hizbullah might have succeeded in wiping us out," Goldwasser maintained. "I turn to the Jewish nation and ask you to hold your head high in national pride," she added.

How Am I not Supposed to Judge….

I am not supposed to judge. For years, the religion of peace has been trying to fight the stereo type that the West has toward them. For years, they are trying to say that we’re peaceful nation and the violence that we observe around the world is simply the fault of Westerners or the fault of small group of people in their society. For years, we’re being bombarded in Media that we are supposed to accept them as peaceful people and honestly it is our fault that they behave in certain ways. It is never their fault. NEVER! I had a lot of faith Lebanon and its citizens and today I lost it all. Today, they gave Kuntar, convicted murderer who crushed a four year old skull and then murdered her father, a hero welcome. (click here for the story). A society that embraces and treats murderers like hero is incredibly backward is a murderous society in itself. It is a representative of the nature of the people that live in that society. If Hezbollah would have thrown celebration and its supporters would cheer Kuntar, I would have been fine with that. They are animals and you cannot expect anything more than that from bunch of animals. For two years, they kept the faith of the soldiers secret. For two years they kept the families guessing and waiting and did not say a word regarding the faith of the soldiers. If that was not barbaric enough, they showed their coffins at the time of the exchange on live TV when the families were watching. Imagine: the families are anxiously waiting and all they see is two black coffins. Can you imagine how painful that is? This is truly barbaric and shows what Hezbollah and its supporters are nothing but bunch of animals. Actually, in my world, animals are better than these Sub-humans (Hezbollah and their supporters). And they ask the world not to judge them and they claim that they are a resistance group and they are freedom fighters and bla blab but their true nature is barbaric that goes back to Seventh Century and you know what I am referring to.

However, to see the Prime Minister Saniora and the government, who is backed by Western countries and hold themselves to be respectful leaders of Lebanon and they are elected representative, to treat that murderer like a hero boils my blood. I see absolutely no opposition in Lebanon as to why they are treating these murderers as heroes. Seriously, how am I not supposed to judge? How come we don’t hear a peek from the Islamic world? Usually Islamic world are very quick in letting the world know how they feel through their barbaric protests and violent posters toward the Westerns as to how they feel about an event. CAIR would always make a statement about how inflamed they are (which is very easy) and how they are insulted and in uproar for some stupid Cartoon or teddy bear, but in this situation they are sitting quietly. Make no mistake; I have no doubt that they are quietly celebrating this event. Can anybody tell me: how am I not supposed to judge?
