*First, a non-covenant-keeping people does not have a divine right to hold the land of promise. Both the blessed status of the people and the privileged right to the land are conditional on Israel's keeping the covenant God made with her. Thus God said to Israel, "If you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples" (Exodus 19:5). Israel has no warrant to a present experience of divine privilege when she is not keeping covenant with God.
More than once Israel was denied the experience of her divine right to the land when she broke covenant with God. For example, when Israel languished in captivity in Babylon, Daniel prayed, "O Lord . . .we have sinned and done wrong . . . To you, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame . . . to all Israel . . . in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of the treachery that they have committed against you" (Daniel 9:4-7; see Psalm 78:54-61). Israel has no divine right to be in the land of promise when she is breaking the covenant of promise.*

100,000 attend sixth annual Love Parade in Tel Aviv
By Yam Yehoshua and Roni Singer, Haaretz Correspondents, and AP August 30, 2003
Some 100,000 people took to the streets of Tel Aviv on friday afternoon, to attend the annual Love Parade held for the sixth time in the beachfront city.
Dancing to loud music in skimpy bikinis and skintight shorts aboard carnival floats, Israelis took time out from the three-year conflict with the Palestinians, turning the Mediterranean shoreline into a massive techno party.
The parade caused huge traffic jams in downtown Tel Aviv, police said, and asked drivers not to bring their cars to the area.
Parties and celebrations will continue throughout the weekend in clubs, bars and cafes across the city.

The love parade started in Berlin 10 years ago. Berlin is somehow Europe's capital of the rave/techno movement like Detroit to America. It is funny to see how Israeli jews are emulating the German lifestyle.

Not unlike the FReaker Jews fantasizing about nuking Mecca during the pilgrimage.

"Love Parade"? What kind of stupid name is that?
Reminds of that Simpsons episode where the corporations plot to add a new holiday to boost sales so they invent "Love Day"(even though I believe Valentines Day fills that role but you know corporations).

Hopefully the inbred Jew decadence will be detrimental to them. The more they get used to to the first-world status, the sooner their society will desintegrate when, hopefully, the American aid stops.

What else keeps the Israeli economy going? Israel has no major natural resources, they have nothing to do business in. The only thing their economy does is make guns and build settlements. Without American aid, Israel would be the poorest country in the Middle East.
In fact on PBS they had a documentary about how US foreign aid keeps the Israeli economy alive and how US dollars are used to help build settlements. Nothing really we don't already know, but its rare to see such facts on American TV these days.
:rock: at the Love Parade(aka Bar Mitzvah)! :punk: :punk:
