ashmont, you are correct. I must have gotten the time of my morning bible class confused with the number of that verse.

More importantly, my post was in response to your act of putting yourself above the fray by citing a verse that relieves you of taking a side on a crucial issue. The issue is so crucial that if you don't take a side against Eyster, then, you are by default siding with him -his side being the side that would annihilate Israel.

Think about it.

To gazettefan:

Your Bible verse is found in Matthew 10:34.

*As Americans, do not forget that the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) attacked the USS Liberty during the opening phase of the 6 day war in june of 1967. We lost over 30 sailors*

The anti-Jew side in this argument never fail to trot out the Liberty incident--a single incident which took place during WAR as you point out and which pales in comparison to the hundreds of attacks by Arabs or Islamists on US civilians, troops and interests since 1948.

One last point: if it were not for the sea of oil underneath the Arabian Peninsula, the Arab-Israeli conflict would have ended in 1973 with an Israeli victory [Sadat and King Hussein explicitly acknowledged this].

The rest of the Arab states realized the folly of taking on the IDF, so they retreated to simply bankrolling this low-level guerilla operation for the last 40 years. What has really spiralled it out of control is the Islamic Republic of Iran, who introduced militant Islam into the equation [via Hizballah]--of which there was very little previously.

If Eyster is teaching his Palestinian stance in the class room, then, he is teaching the "benefits" of terrorism to innocent young people. The beginnings of this curricula began during the Vietnam War with the likes of his buddy Stan Milam and the likes of Bill Ayer, Bernadine Dohrn, and the nut-job who bombed that building at UW Madison.

Proving unequivocally why sending your kids to school for "higher education" is a complete waste of $$$. As your "educators" are nothing more then political hacks-activists.

NVgrf, ignorance would be repeating the atrocities of Auschwitz, or do you believe that didn't occur?

I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Matthew 10:45

I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed.

--Genesis 12:3

Good point. Are people actually paying good money to tap into the mind of Eyster? Wow.

NV...., what other places have you visited from which you returned an expert?

Don't the Israelis who've had their babies blown up by Palestinian terrorists have more expertise on the area than you and Mrs. Eyster?

I really like the link you posted. And if JWEyster is an educator, then I pity our education system. He is blind to the truth. His mind is apparently made up already. There is no getting through to someone who does not know how to research history any further than their own prejudice will allow them to.

Our universities these days are propaganda sites for vermin like Eyster. They sit at their desks and feel like they can't be fired because of tenure. Don't bet on it bub.

Well said, John Eyster! But nevertheless, the "wisdom" of the ignorant abounds on this subject! Most of it by people whose closest visit to the area has been Ohio.

I have been in uniform before for our country, and I would gladly put a uniform on again to defend Israel.

Mr. Eyster,

I urge you to read Joan Peters book entitled "From Time Immemorial". Her book is the definitive history of the middle east situation.

Respectively...

Eyster, any educator with any skills would cringe at your paragraph in quotes below were it written by a student:

"The environment since Palestinian President Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the U.N. General Assembly last Friday has been dynamic. I have tried to follow the dynamics as various nations and persons have responded."
-------

A true exercise in vapidity.

Maybe, instead, you should have written:

"It was a dark and stormy night."
or
"He was as tall as a six foot tree."

Northman and Iriss, excellent posts. The same for all those who take Eyster to task. Eyster is supposed to be an educator. WTF

JK Holman, if I felt they could use my services, I'd go, even at my age. I tried to re-up after 9/11. The Israelis are handling things very well without U.S. or other troops.

The tragedy of the USS Liberty lacks proportion to the issue at hand.

As for what I'd do for my own country, I was wounded twice fighting for it.

Eyster, did the terrorist state of Palestine earn that land back by blowing up babies? Is that the history we must not forget?: Blow up babies for land that makes it easier to blow up more babies?

Here's some history you shouldn't forget: Neville Chamberlain

Anyone who supports the Palestine UN recognition and statehood issues is a direct ideological descendent of Hitler and the Nazi Germany.

John keeps telling us he is a well-educated man as he teaches in the UW system. Now he tells us about learning from history; the only problem is he wants to be selective about what history. All of this just goes to show the poor shape the UW system is in! Everytime I see the supposed"brightest and best" at the Uw riot,burn, close down free speech they don't agree with, or just show themselves to be good lemmings of John; I wonder how much good the UW system is doing for our state and when it should be shut down and somehing better created!!

Excellent link no. Thank you.

Here are some telling quotes from the winner of the second most absurd Nobel Peace Prize award, everybody’s favourite terrorist, Yasser Arafat!
“Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.”

“We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. . . . We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.”

“We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land!”

“Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.”

Phew, what a wacky, peace-loving kinda guy! How about his current successor, Abbas?
“If we win the legislative elections , we will never recognize the state of Israel”.

Sounds like a go-along-and-get-along type, eh?

The Israeli’s are doing exactly what you advocate, and learning from history. Never trust a terrorist, and never negotiate with a terrorist, are a couple of the lessons they’ve learned. If you think they’re being unreasonable, imagine if Mexico started sending in suicide bombers and launching rockets across the border, demanding that the US return Texas. How long do you think we’d put up with that? The American people would be screaming for blood, and we would waste no time bombing Mexico back into the stone age, with zero regard to civilian casualties or collateral damage. The only amazing thing about the “Mideast crisis” is that Israel has shown such tremendous restraint, and that there are any Palestinians left at all.

Johnny, why are you pimping for this group "US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation"--which is yet another bunch of anti-American socialists who love such fine people as the Castros in Cuba and Hizballah. Nice.

If you want to play the "who's been their longest" game on Wikipedia, I invite to check out the entry for Eretz Yisrael.

“If the Arabs put down their weapons today,there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today,there would be no more Israel”–Benjamin Netanyahu

I'll take my chances with the Jews as their track record vs. Christians isn't too good.

Believing either side is a game for fools. The Jews need to drive the Muslims from Jerusalem so they can destroy the Dome on the Rock and rebuild the Temple to bring salvation for the Tribes of David. The Muslims need to destroy the Jews because Mohammed said so, and his fatwa’s and edicts cannot be questioned. Let them fight amongst themselves forever. Both groups are bent on world domination. If the Jews win they are coming for the Christians. If the Muslims win, they are coming for the Christians. The ultimate goal of both is an assault on Jesus. Who’s going to win, Moses, Mohammed, or Jesus? And who of these three are correct, or is the correct answer something/someone else?

John,

You couldnt be more wrong. The day Abbas and the palestinians agree that Israel has a right to EXIST as a sovereign nation-would be the first step in talking about granting the Palestinians a nation of their own. Until then-Isreal should do everything it cans to defend its land and negotiations will go nowhere.

I still like Jay Sekulow's comment. Giving land for peace which has never worked would be like us giving half of Washington D.C. back to the British.

Eysore - Go to Norway and stay there. Also take Milam with you and drop him off in Poland. Norway believes in socialism so you should be happy there (until the North Sea oil runs out).

Or, we could mind our own business and put effort into rectifying our own socioeconomic issues.

Gazette PLEASE STOP These antisemitic blogs! Why would the gazette allow URL linking to their competitor because they wouldn't post a LTE? Why would one from Edgerton write a LTE to BELOIT? How many people in Edgerton subscribe to the BDN daily? Call them, I did. Was there a reason the Gazette wouldn't post it? Sounds like the same political vomit that is in the above post.
.
Calling Israels plight to maintain their homeland propaganda? Propaganda? Can I call your stance Nazism? Is that fair John, are you a Nazi? Both would be name-calling and are unfair! There are many parallels there aren't there? Both the Nazi's and Palestine want the destruction of the Jewish people based on their belief system, both are willing to go to any means to achieve that goal? So what is the difference? Is there one?
.
What about the biblical (New and Old Testament) scriptures that ALL CHRISTIANS are to protect Israel and her homeland. How do you find defense for your previous posts that you are a preacher of the Gospel knowing that you are selective in what you believe from your Bible?
.
Mr. Eyester I believe that neither Israel nor Fox are involved in propaganda, but you are!

I believe Netanyahu.

There is no Palestine. There never was.
Your wife is clearly as big an antisemite as you are. Every time you sit down at your computer and type this tripe you show people your true colors as a hardcore leftist and antisemite.
Thanks Eyster your doing my work for me.

Thanks for your comment, "wislady." The reality is that there are 2-perspectives - Palestinian and Israeli. Your source - FoxNews - articulates the Israeli propaganda... so ?? I wonder how YOU defend Israel's continuing building ILLEGAL - international law agreed even by the USA - settlements. UNLESS the building of settlements stops, there is NO HOPE for PEACE. I have NO AUDACITY of HOPE left. Here we go... John W. Eyster
