And when I was a kid they were called Pigs. That obviously is an
insult,
but unfortunatly Israel is more similar to communist Russia than the US
or
a Western Democracy.

With unique hutzpa added.

An Israeli friend of mine reported that a friend of his, Reuven
Weissblich, was arrested Monday night at about 11:30 PM. The arrest
was also reported at
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=106161
His crime was refusal to report to miluim during Gaza disengagement.
(If you read Russian, his blog is at
http://reuven-v.livejournal.com/807.html )

What was not reported by A7, but reported by Weissblich's wife in a
conversation with my friend, was that the MPs who came to arrest her
husband had the hutzpa to ask her to serve them dinner! Well, at least
she didn't suffer any consequences for refusing to do so.

Yet. Remember, her husband didn't suffer any consequences for nearly a
year.
And that's the point, it's psychological warfare, they are saying "we are
watching and we WILL come for you without warning one dark morning, so do
as
you are told."

With friends like you too, who needs the enemy? We are again at war
with the Arabs so, if you can't say anything gracious, please hold your
tongue.

From the distant safety of the galut you are competing who is more
disgusting, while we here are fighting for our life, so for a while, the
best you can do is to grow silent.
