If it's true the older brother was there for 6 months last year that does sound a bit suspicious, but even then, I agree with the general consensus that it is highly unlikely that the Caucasian Islamist terrorist groups would want to target the USA intentionally.

When asked why he responded that he was not wealthy enough. He explained that if one hears kefira he is required to tear kria and since joining the Knesset would expose him to kefira on a regular basis he would be forced to be constantly tearing kria and could not afford the numerous changes of clothing this would require. Although his ahavas yisroel was legendary and perhaps he did feel hakaras hatov to the medina he was by no means a Zionist nor did he view the Israeli government in the same light as he viewed the Lithuanian government. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/israeli-flag-flown-at-ponavez-why#post-456468 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:12:29 +0000 truthsharer 456468@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>In 2013 indeed, life isn't too rough in the USA. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/israeli-flag-flown-at-ponavez-why#post-456464 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:05:35 +0000 The Kanoi Next Door 456464@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>"We must be Makir Tov to Medinat Israel for having opened their doors to Jewish Stateless people."</p> <p>Yeah, life is real rough for all the "stateless" Jews in America. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/israeli-flag-flown-at-ponavez-why#post-456404 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:23:46 +0000 Really?!? 456404@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Silly people.
