I got a few days next month.<BR/><BR/>When politicians say "shmassams" it is incredibly serious, because it shows how little they actually care for the people they are supposed to be serving.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-1151494258405992912006-06-28T14:30:00.000+03:002006-06-28T14:30:00.000+03:00first, I was also busy fighting in uniform in thos...first, <BR/>I was also busy fighting in uniform in those years, and the once in a while that I went out I would go to Jerusalem with my friends (nachal Charedi used to be mostly from Jer.) <BR/><BR/>second, I agree with you that the country shouldn't say things like that.. There are a lot of things politicians Say (Shmassams ETC.) that we shouldn't take to seriously... <BR/>Third, I just heard Rav Avi Ronski (Itamar) talking about the percations they are taking, such as hithching from Inside Yeshuvim or only in places that there are Soldiers (I.E. road blocks ETC.) <BR/><BR/>Anyways.. I am off to Miluim for a few Hours (long story - maybe will post something on my Blog later)...Oleh Yahshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755940933304791751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-1151493986501788272006-06-28T14:26:00.000+03:002006-06-28T14:26:00.000+03:00http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3268428,...<A HREF="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3268428,00.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3268428,00.html</A>JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-1151486742910157302006-06-28T12:25:00.000+03:002006-06-28T12:25:00.000+03:00I was busy fighting terrorists during those years ...I was busy fighting terrorists during those years (in uniform), but I never stopped going to Ben-Yehuda at any point.<BR/><BR/>But twice in the mid-90s I was supposed to be on Ben-Yehuda at the exact time and location where a suicide bomber went off, but I was late each time. And I still continued to go to Ben-Yehuda because not going meant they won.<BR/><BR/>And I was a block away from 2 bombs in Machane Yehuda. (But I can't stand it there, so I don't go there anyway).<BR/><BR/>And I was on top of the bridge at French Hill when a bomb when off underneath it.<BR/><BR/>The point is that while people have the personal choice to go to Ben-Yehuda or not, or drive through French Hill or not, or live in Gilo or not, I never recall the government saying don't go on buses and don't go to Ben-Yehuda - and that is the point.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-1151486111815169782006-06-28T12:15:00.000+03:002006-06-28T12:15:00.000+03:00joe, this is not an issue of blaming the victim. T...joe, <BR/>this is not an issue of blaming the victim. This is an issue of, commen sense. <BR/>I guess you didn't spend a lot of time in Ben Yehuda in 2002-2003 but I can tell you that it wasn't exactly the same full and happy place it is today.. I used to go there Thursday nights with my army buddies and to say it was sad to see the place is an understatement. People decided that it would be better off if they don't go to that place at that time, same as the people on the busses. No one had to tell them - they used commen sense. <BR/><BR/>At the moment, the Palestinians have started a new tactic- Kidnapping. does this mean you shouldn't hitch hike?? of course not. It just mean you should be CAREFUL when you do it. Those who say you shouldn't hitch-hike are idiots. But at the same time those who say that it's the Armies Job to protect me and therefor I can continue doing whatever I want... is not just an idiot but also suicidle.Oleh Yahshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755940933304791751noreply@blogger.com
