	NONSENSE!   Were not the few delivered from the hands of the many
when the "state" was established?  Don't you think that this was/is a blessing?
I think it is and should be celebrated.  I see a similarities between the events
that led to the festival of Hanukah and the establishment of Israel.  Anyone
else agree?
Happy Hanukah,
