Jimmy making aliyah
« on: November 13, 2007, 01:40:15 PM »
I heard on Ask JTF that Jimmy Sullivan is making aliyah.

I thought "making aliyah" was for Jews only.  I thought gentiles could "move to Israel" but to "make aliyah" was for Jews only, since only Jews are called to Israel...?

Just curious.

Yes. You are right but he's probably there to help the Jews survive out there and that seems like a noble goal to me.

I believe I heard that his son is an Israeli citizen who made Aliyah a while ago. So Jimmy can join his family there. How great it must be!
I can't wait to finally make it to Israel!

Well, you better hurry up...according to your MySpace page, you're 99 years old :-)

;D Yea I have to hurry and make Aliyah ASAP!
 I guess I look pretty young for my old age... ;) like in my 20s.

You're planning on making aliyah?  I didn't know that Mills.
"The Jews will eventually have to face up to what you're dealing with here.  The arabs will never love you for what good you've brought them.  They don't know how to really love.  But hate!  Oh, G-d, can they hate!  And they have a deep, deep, deep resentment because you have jolted them from their delusions of grandeur and shown them for what they are-a decadent, savage people controlled by a religion that has stripped them of all human ambition . . . except for the few cruel enough and arrogant enough to command them as one commands a mob of sheep.  You are dealing with a mad society and you'd better learn how to control it."
