Thanks, Sophiee, for that informative response. I was not really trying to solicite an argument, although I have my own personal views.

You know, I listen to Tovia Singer and Tamar - and, like here in the U.S., some talk shows have heavily biased political overtones - like Rush Limbaugh to the right and Al Frankin to the left. Before Ariel's illness, the talk on the radio Israel's talk shows was very much opposed to the pullouts, and they called Sharon every kind of name in the book, including Hitler. Needless to say that emotions run deep over the settlements among Israeli's themselfs.

btw, last week Tovia Singer baited me with a talk show entitled - what does Judaism think about the Antichrist (something like that anyway). Well, I listened for 45 minutes, and what did Tovia have to say? Maybe 15 seconds worth, that Judaism doesn't believe in the Antichrist. Oh jeepers, I waited 45 minutes for that revelation! I mean like why would they, that would be to admit that Jesus was the Christ. Oh well, Tovia got me with that one. But still I listen to both his and Tamar's programs - it's like from a Christian perspective of knowing kinda what to expect so it doesn't upset me, and some of the guests are very informative.


Peace,
