Rabbis warn Bush: Annapolis will bring destruction to US

A fringe group of prominent ultranationalist rabbis issued a harshly-worded letter to United States President George W. Bush earlier this week, warning him that the upcoming Annapolis peace conference would bring destruction upon America.

...snip...

"We wrote to President Bush, a man who believes in the Bible, to warn him against the terrible danger to which he is exposing his country by hosting such a conference," said Rabbi Meir Druckman, one of signatories to the letter.

"The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. God punishes anyone who coerces Israel to give up its land," he said.

"There is no doubt the New Orleans flood from the Katrina hurricane was God's punishment for evicting the settlements," said Druckman, "with hundreds of thousands left homeless, hundreds killed or wounded and billions of dollars sent down the drain – can we really ignore God's hand collecting an eye for an eye?"


Just so I'm clear on this point, God could have sent a Hurricane/Monsoon/Tsunami to flood Lebanon, Egypt, etc. to show his wrath about attacks on Israel, but chose instead to go after New Orleans?

4. Because, one hopes, we do not post all the stories
about all kooks in the world.

Come to think of it - we do.

Oh well.

9. I could be wrong
maybe its just the jazz and Mardi Gras beads?
Or maybe it was a way to attack the French. Once removed?
