Jewish Soul Swells With Pride
Ramon Wants NATO to Protect Israel(IsraelNN.com) Additional details from Deputy Prime Minister Chaim Ramon's interview on Kol Yisrael radio this morning: Ramon wants NATO forces to be in charge of security in the areas Israel hands over to the Palestinian Authority.
Ramon did not say how much of Judea and Samaria should be vacated by Israel, but he did say that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's pre-election "Converegence" plan, which called for handing over 90% of Judea and Samaria to the Arabs, is no longer on the table, at least not as a one-step plan.
The collective Jewish Souls swells with pride, when we hear our leaders asking NATO to protect us. We are filled with the same level of pride that we felt when the aircraft returned from Entebbe with the freed hostages or when we knew that the Old City of Jerusalem had been captured during the Six Day War.
Why and how can the leaders of Israel be so stupid? 60 years ago many of the nations that today make up NATO stood by and watched their Jewish citizens being taken away to the death camps by the Nazis and today we want these same nations to protect Israel.
I tell you it just makes me want to rise to my feet assume the position of attention and sing Ha Tikva.
