snooker can I dare to include GWB, in this old Yiddish expression regarding "stif-necked leaders" **************************************************************
Never said we have a monopoly.
Of course there are others. However the Torah alludes to us as a people 'who are stiff necked etc etc". And just as well.
Otherwise we would have been assimilated totally, and gone the way of the ancients.......just gone!
yet here we are.....a vibrant country.....a revived ancient Hebrew language.....
Say what you like....think what you like.....but just those two qualities alone (and there are plenty more)are remarkable and ........miraculous.
And only because we are a stiff-necked people........we kept our god throughout millenia of trials and tribulations.........
