Palestinian girl killed by IOF.

Yet another Palestinian child has been killed by the Israeli army. Nouran Deeb was 10 when she was shot by an Israeli soldier. Sharon has issued an apology for this. An apology that is false, because of his Zionist Government that she is dead. Sharon couldn't care less if thousands of children are killed. The soldier will probably not be punished at all for what he did. My condolences to the family of Nouran.

: Period of Peace? According to Whom?

In your coverage on Abu Mazen today, reporters were touting his success in bringing about a period of peace between Israelis and Palestinians and yet, Israel plans to destroy an Arab neighborhood, is in the process of taking more Palestinian land using an old, unused law and Palestinians continue to die at the hands of the Israeli military on a daily basis!

In the United States the message is clear; when Israelis die, it is a day of tragedy. When Palestinians die, it is a period of peace!

Can Zionists be the Leaders of Jews According to Rabbi Avigdor Miller?

Born in 1908, the renowned American Rabbi of our time, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, zt'l, who passed away in 2001, was a Torah scholar and wrote a number of works including “Sing, You Righteous” and “Awake My Glory”. In those books he addresses his opposition to the Zionist movement.

Rabbi Miller influenced generations of Torah scholars including Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, zt”l (1916-2001), later Telshe Rosh Hayeshiva in Cleveland. Rabbi Miller has many thousands of followers who highly respect his writings which are faithful to the teachings of the Torah.

Many of Rabbi Miller's writings are relevant to current day issues and True Torah Jews has added excerpts and quotes from these works in which he discusses whether Zionists can be the leaders of Israel to our website in our "Words of the Rabbis" section.

We invite you to visit our website and read Rabbi Miller's words on Zionism.

Why Bush talks about freedom so much: He doesn't have any!

It was Sunday. My daughter and I had made plans to go up to Tilden Park and walk in the woods but we were lazy and running late and didn't get to it until after dark. We ended up walking around Jewel Lake in the moonlight. It was magical.

Can you imagine poor sorry George Bush doing something like that?

First, he would have had to schedule it months in advance. Then he'd have to have the whole region scouted out by his secret police.

Park officials would have to be notified.

The bullet-proof limo would have to be trotted out.

The path around Jewel Lake would have to be paved.

In the end, 800 policemen and 2,000 troops would have to accompany him.

No wonder Bush always talks about Freedom! He mentioned Freedom 26 times in his inaugural speech. But between me and George Bush, which one of us do you think is most free?

Bush wanted that White house job so badly that he was willing to commit election fraud TWICE to get it. And now he's stuck with it, trapped as surely as Saddam Hussein in his spider hole. Do I feel sorry for him?

Nope.

PS: Actually, this is a question of semantics. When most people refer to Freedom, we are talking about that warm and fuzzy patriotic stuff like "The land of the free and the home of the brave." When our George talks about Freedom, he is talking about his freedom to gouge American taxpayers.
