In the words of Alanis Morissette…

Must have made you unhappy, miligram, that the report was in English, so you couldn't distort it as you usually do with Hebrew reports.

OTOH, your joy in finding something derogatory about some Israelis probably overcame the disadvantage of the previous para.

One wonders why a reject from Israel, someone who couldn't make it here, who lives in England which itself is far, far from perfect, devotes so much of his time foul-mouthing the Jewish State.

I have a few suggestions, but what with our Mr. Julius being an expert on libel and slander, I'll keep them to myself.

Bottom line, miligram, I live in Jerusalem and in an hour or so will begin the celebrations for Unification of Jerusalem Day, 44 years of Unified Jerusalem.

You don't live here, and will probably spend the evening swilling beer, fish and chips in some pub, in the company of those of other nations.

Let's keep it that way.

I remember the morning of 28 Iyar 5727 (7 June 1967) as if it was today. I had an A level that morning. It could have been a Ph D thesis for how much I was focussed on it. The Jewish Community had been gripped as never before. A march on the Sunday (Stand by Israel)a half day fast on the Monday and now Jordan had entered the war. Even Michael Elkins' encouraging reports did not prevent the sense of dread we all felt.
At mincha on the Monday the rabbi had broken in tears during the repetition of the Amida when he reached "And to Jerusalem your city, return in mercy ..." looking back how prescient was that?
I somehow managed to spend the three hours in the exam (which miraculously I passed) and rushed back home to listen to the radio. As I walked through the door news was coming in that Israeli troops had entered the Old City and later that afternoon we heard the shofar being blown at the Western Wall! I was privileged to be witness to a miracle. Something which I celebrate each year to its fullest extent.

Such a Pyrrhic victory, "Advis3r". But there's still just about enough time to undo the damage. Otherwise, the best thing Israel can hope for is a federated state with a Hebrew-speaking canton alongside an Arabic-speaking Canton. Maybe that is the way forward after the zealots on both sides have ruined everything.

- he wrote it 3 times, and would write it another 100 times if he could.

Pure miligram (isn't that an oxymoron? The moron part is for sure!)

Hatred, hatred, hatred - and all from a perpetual liar.

Tonight, miligram, 44 years of Unified Jerusalem.

Go cuddle up with Lukas and console each other.

Tonight, here in Jerusalem, and all over Israel, PLUS IN MOST PARTS OF THE DIASPORA - WE DANCE!

Only someone with such a complete absence of understanding of what Jerusalem means and its centrality to the Jewish people to which they yearned to return to for two thousand years could call the reunification of Jerusalem a pyrrhic victory or believe such reunification has done damage to the Jewish people.
I think I pity you for not appreciating what a gift we were given. Obviously without faith nothing to you is sacred and Uganda probably would have suited you better.

I am off to Aravit Chaggigit!

As I said before, "Advis3r", the fact that I don't have your faith doesn't mean I have no faith. Jerusalem isn't just bricks and mortar or a political stick with which to beat the other side, as the Orthodox and Israeli ultra-nationalists have unfortunately turned it into. It's much more important than that. It's something to strive towards.

And most Jews, in fact most Israelis, don't celebrate Jerusalem Day. I read somewhere that most Israelis haven't even visited the city. And that most West Jerusalemites won't go to the Eastern part of the city. Now tell me it's united.

miligram,
won't tell you anything: Jerusalem-wise, and in fact Israel-wise, you are a nonentity. You don't live here, Jerusalem and Israel in general are none of your business.

For us Israelis, you are just another anti-semite living in London.

Go celebrate some London festival.

Reiss, you can keep your browswer open all night, it's your bankruptcy after all. You can vilify me and others, just check what Edgar Allen Poe said about vilification.
You can also call me an enemy. But first check Churchill's quote about making enemies. Jonathan Hoffman uses it a lot.
You and your mates are quite pitiful. I'm pleased only inasmuch as. I am considered so important to you and your coterie that you feel the need to be so toxic. It's your blood pressure and anxiety levels after all.

You've 'read somewhere'? LOL.
Wrong on all 3 counts.
So what else is new?
