"Just as sure as the turnin' of the earth”.....There is War between Israelis and Palestinians

  This    month of May marks the 73 rd  anniversary of the state of Israel.   And to quote the ETHAN EDWARDS character in THE SEARCHERS:  “ Just as  sure  as the turnin' of the  earth”,  Israelis and Palestinians are killing each other. As sure as the cicadas come back, Israel bombs Gaza ( see picture below) as the mad terrorists who run Gaza, HAMAS, send a murder of rockets into Israel.  B ut this time, there is a new and explosive element, Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs are lynching each other.   This Blogger happened to be in Cairo during the first Gulf War; he was sitting in the Sheraton watching the television with a bunch of Kuwaiti exiles when some Palestinians asked to join the group. As a courtesy to this Blogger, the entire future conversation was in English; which this Blogger thought was very thoughtful.   The common dream of the Palestinians was the establishment of a secular state on the land of Israel, in which Jew, Christian, Druze and Muslim could live as brothers.
