The Druze may be wonderful people as you say but the Israeli government refused to build bomb shelters in the Druze villages and Daa Abbas, 15, was sitting in her living room watching TV with her mother and brother when a rocket hit the house, claiming her life in the Druze village of Mghar. IIRC none or very few of the Arab-Israelis in Israel have access to bomb shelters either. With all the media focused on Lebanon the Zionist slaughter is getting worse in the Gaza concentration camp and very little is reported about it on this side of the pond. This conflict is not going to go away quickly so do what ever you can to be safe. Fred "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ...

I advice you to check your facts before claiming such claims,
Local shelters are municipality`s responsibility, and the way each treats this is problematic .. I worked 7 years with the Urban planning maps of our late friend Dov Chernobroda who was murderded in a terror act. He worked most his planning in the Arab communities, and it was always a big debate, to force them to use this money for shelters. Part of it being their belief that their vilages won`t be hit , by the Arab countries. Partly because of Local politics, leaning hard on tribal connections. In Haifa Arabs and Jews share houses and of course they sit now together in many of the communal shelters. The Druze may be wonderful people as you say but the Israeli government refused to build bomb shelters in the Druze villages and Daa Abbas, 15, was sitting in her living room watching TV with her mother and brother when a rocket hit the house, claiming her life in the Druze village of Mghar. IIRC none or very few of the Arab-Israelis in Israel have access to bomb shelters either. For somebody claiming that every woman wearing a headscarf is a potential muslim terrorist you sure are quick to adopt muslim terrorist terminology. With all the media focused on Lebanon the Zionist slaughter is getting worse in the Gaza concentration camp and very little is reported about it on this side of the pond. if it won`t be solved here ,, you will soon feel it affecting your life ,,, with all your long writings here , how come you didn`t see that Using all this Weapons here , is maybe a testground to see how the `free` world reacts .... mirjam This conflict is not going to go away quickly so do what ever you can to be safe.

Ummm, Mirjam -- I think you have Fred mixed up with Jim. I could be mistaken but I don't ever remember Fred making reference to Muslim women, headscarfs, etc. Jim is the one who finds this a subject of concern.
