Try
this one! Too freaky is right!!
2%
or 98%
This
is strange...can you figure it out?
Are

Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as
quickly as you can!
*
Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of
them...really.
*
Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something).
Think
of a number from 1 to 10
Multiply
that number by 9
If
the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together
Now
subtract 5
Determine
which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with(example:
1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.)

minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer
with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise.
Freaky,

AN ISRAELI SOLDIER TELLS OF ARAB LIES

JENIN TRUTHS

Tales
from Jenin
Here
is a letter someone sent to me, written by an Israeli reserve soldier who took
part in the battle in Jenin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
all
25/4/2002
I'm
writing this email after having returned last night from the emergency army call
up that sweetly interrupted my life 3 weeks ago. I'm writing this email for
simple reasons, to tell you the truth about what happened in Jenin over the last
2-3 weeks and to share some of the stories and incidents that we had.
It's
pretty sad seeing and hearing the lies that CNN, BBC and all the others have
been feeding the world when you have seen a completely different picture
yourself. Feel free to pass this email around and send me any feedback or
questions.
Let
me just get one thing cleared, there was no massacre in Jenin, I repeat no
massacre in Jenin!!! (I'll get back to this later) My reserve battalion was
stationed on the northern and eastern border of Jenin with the purpose of
ensuring the enclosure of the area during the Defensive Shield Operation took
place. We were divided amongst a number of roadblocks and defensive positions
with the main purpose of preventing terrorists leaving Jenin to carry out
attacks inside Israel and also from escaping during the operation. We were also
responsible for monitoring the entrance of the Press and humanitarian aid going
into Jenin, and also Palestinians needing to leave Jenin for humanitarian
reasons. I myself together with eleven other soldiers manned a small roadblock
at the northern tip of Jenin, which was one of the main thoroughfares for
traffic entering and exiting the area.
Jenin
is not a big town. The refugee camp is a small part of Jenin and the pictures
repeatedly shown on TV are of a small section (10% -15%) of the refugee camp
that was destroyed. The refugee camp is where the terrorists have mainly
operated and harbored factories and storage facilities for weapons, explosive
belts etc. Many of the recent suicide bombers have strapped themselves up in
this refugee camp. What is also very fascinating is that UNWRA (United Nations
Work and Relief Agency - part of the UN) has been responsible for the refugee
camps over the last 50 years and has allowed terrorist infrastructure to
flourish under its nose.
In
the fighting that took place in the refugee camp, children were used as human
shields by the terrorists. One of the brigade commanders told us this last
Saturday night that they were shot at in the small alleys of the camp. They
returned fire only to hear the cries of young children to which they immediately
stopped shooting and prayed that they had not killed any children. They hadn't.
The
armies respect and consideration for the life's of innocent civilians is of a
high standard. For this reason, 23 of our own boys were killed in the Jenin
fighting. If we had no regard for the life's of innocent civilians, 23 sons,
husbands and fathers would be at home with their families now. They were the
price we paid for the high moral and ethical standards upheld during the
fighting.
During
the week of the incursion into Jenin the area was a closed military zone.
However contrary to what was reported, humanitarian aid was allowed in and I
myself personally checked many of the hundreds of trucks that were allowed in to
deliver supplies to the Palestinians. This was carefully coordinated with the
army to ensure that innocent civilians would receive the supplies and to
minimize the risks of those entering the areas.
For
a few days after the fighting had stopped, the area was closed off to the press.
This is when the rumors of the massacre began despite the army press giving
detailed briefing sessions to the media on the situation. So why was the area
closed to the press and what did we seemingly have something to hide? Simply,
the refugee camp had been booby trapped by the terrorists and minefields awaited
those that entered. Soldiers inside the refugee camp told me of not being able
to move 5 meters at a time without having to diffuse another pipe bomb or mine.
Many of the houses destroyed were done so by bombs planted by the very residents
of the camp. Some of the dead bodies were also booby trapped with grenades and
mines awaiting the Israeli soldiers. (The Palestinian death toll stands at below
40 with maybe another 20 or so buried in the rubble of which most has been
cleared up.
This
was also told to us by embarrassed reporters who entered the area eagerly
awaiting to report an Israeli massacre of Palestinians only to be disappointed
to find minimal destruction.)
The
media. Last Sunday while myself and my good friend Ben were on duty at the
roadblock at the time when no press were allowed to enter Jenin, we spotted a
jeep trying to evade the roadblock through an adjacent field. We managed to stop
the jeep and discovered a group of French Journalists who had managed to enter
Jenin and were now trying to leave. We followed the normal procedure of
questioning them, checking their vehicle and identification. This process
sometimes takes a while because we have to phone another army base who then
checks the identities with the Israeli authorities which includes the
intelligence operations. Anyway, it turned out that one of the supposed French
journalists is actually a Palestinian terrorist on Israel's wanted list. He was
taken away by the police together with the other real French journalists. Bet
you never heard about that one on TV?
Last
Thursday, friends of mine on duty at another outpost a few kilometers away from
me spotted two young kids walking in the middle of the day with black backpacks
on their backs. The two kids entered an abandoned structure about 800 meters
away from the outpost and left without the bags. The kids thought they had gone
unnoticed. It was later discovered that the bags contained weapons, explosives
and an Israeli army uniform with a red paratrooper beret. The plan was for a
terrorist to pick up the loot at night, dress up as an Israeli soldier and
attack the outpost. We had already received intelligence reports 5 days earlier
warning of a terrorist dressing up as a soldier and entering one of the
outposts.
Avi,
a good friend of mine studying together with me at Bar Ilan was stationed in
Nablus (Shchem) during this operation and told me the following: They took over
a house in Nablus as a stronghold in order for the operation to clear out the
terrorist infrastructure there. While in the house, they did not use the
electricity to charge their cell phones. They did not touch or eat any food left
in the house. They made a concerted effort not to use any furniture in the
house. When they left the house a few days ago during the pullout of Nablus,
they cleaned the house and left money on the table. I have heard this reported
from soldiers that were also in Beit Lechem, Tulkarm, Kalkilya and Jenin.
On
Monday morning this week, a UN bus entered Jenin carrying a UN rescue team from
Britain. The team included doctors and other rescue personnel who get dispatched
around the world to help with rescue operations. Four hours later the bus
returned through our roadblock and they stopped and we had a chance to chat a
little. The first thing they said is that this was the biggest waste of time for
them and they would be catching the next flight out of Israel. One of the
doctors told us that one of the "massacred" bodies he examined was
that of a man that had been dead for two years. What a shame that the
Palestinians dug him up to add to the death toll.
As
my friends and I packed up yesterday ready to head for home we joked at how the
whole world considers us to be monsters and how one day we might all be charged
for war crimes. We felt good for having served our country once again and we
hope that something was achieved in this operation. What lies ahead is still
uncertain. What became so clear to me is the importance of seeing things in the
right context and perspective. If all that happened these last 3 weeks was an
Israeli incursion into the Palestinian areas, then yes, maybe we don't look so
good in the world’s eyes. But looking in the context of the history of Israel
and our longing to live peacefully side by side with our Arab neighbors, we
cannot let terror to exist and destroy our dream. I pray and hope that new
Palestinian leadership emerges that will want to make this world a better place
for it's people.
