Things in my garden:-
Yes, in my and my wife's garden.
One is a flower, one a weed, I think, but don't press me further.

My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me

- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

The orange one is known in England as the "red hot poker" (hah!) and the purple one , which is one of my favourite flowers and is so beautiful, is an iris.
Lovely garden!
Palestine is the flower. YESHA is the weed . Obama is the weedkiller.
Dear Anon.: - and you are the compost, the droppings, the dung, the excrement and a bit of mulch. In other words, only wehn you decompose will you provide some good.
First: What the second, pro-Israel anonymous poster said to the anonymous anti-Zionist scum.
Second:
Palestine is indeed the flower, and flowers should be under the care of a good gardener, not someone who tramples the flowerbed. The Jewish nation is the good gardener. The Arab settlers are the vandals who trample the flowerbed. YESHA is one of the inseparable petals of the flower. Obama, like you, is someone the vandal has duped into believing he is the good gardener while the gardener is a vandal.
Oh, I just remembered... speaking of Palestine being a flower:
Back in 1867, when Mark Twain visited Palestine (he published The Innocents Abroad two years later), flowers were the one thing almost not to be found in Palestine. Palestine in 1867 was nearly entirely a desert. Worse than a desert: Vast swampland where only malaria-bearing mosquitoes flourished, and from which humans kept away for fear of almost certain death.
The flowering of Palestine got kick-started only 15 years later, when Jews from both Russia and Yemen (so much for Zionism as a European movement! But facts won't stop the anti-Zionists lying. They never did) came to Palestine with a deep, rooted love that gave them the will to brave those swamps and dry them out, at great personal cost.
It was only after that that the few Arab villages situated in the few tracts of land not in the vicinity of swamps were augmented by a stream of Arab settlers from the neighboring regions of Egypt and (northern) Syria.
What do we call someone who takes advantage of another's hard work, then claims it all to his own? Those are the kind of people the anti-Zionists defend.
