Additionally, he kept blaming the fire on conservative policies in the US, not Israel, with no explanation of the connection, while invoking Jabotinsky. It gave me enough reason to interpret his claim as a punishment. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/fire-in-israel#post-173519 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:15:16 +0000 WolfishMusings 173519@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Dave,</p> <p>Thanks for the link. Next time, please link directly to the post (use the # at the bottom of the post) so that it's easier to find.</p> <p>My understanding is that he's blaming Israel's inability to fight the fire on policy decisions. That's not quite the same as saying that the reason for the fire is because people support the Republicans or conservatives.</p> <p>The Wolf </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/fire-in-israel#post-173483 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:33:44 +0000 Dave Hirsch 173483@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>@The Wolf <a href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/obama-just-doesnt-get-it-its-the-economy-stupid"> Here </a> it is.
