With all the mess in this country you would think they might staycation to add some needed economic stimulus into the local economy, or go to a nicer AAA destination.

Somehow I suspect if they were headed to the P.A. controlled West Bank you wouldn't have bothered to start thread.

Not surprising.

They need to get their marching orders and electronic communications could be a bit risky.

I am with you about this thread. Damn we are nasty, aren't we? I wonder how many of those people were not Tea Party people and what they will learn on this paid for vacation.

I used to have nothing but respect for Israel. Based on how the world treated the Jews, I knew they needed a safe haven.

But in the last 25 years, Israel has been taken over by right wing fanatics, who work hand in glove with the American "Christian" RW. They treat the Palistinians like dogs, and bribe and intimidate US pols to the point I can't tell what country they work for.

The best evidence of how far Israel has sunk: they invited Glenn Beck to address the Kinisset last month .
