    Also, slight deviation:

    Something somewhere was posted on a friend's FB how a good chunk of Europeans don't think that Jews are very loyal citizens, much to the cries of anti-Semitism by my brethren.

    I just laugh, because lets face it, with all the internal calls to move back to our "homeland" AKA Israel (and it is a very strong movement), why are my brethren surprised that a lot of people don't think that they are loyal to any country but Israel?
    I think they're better citizens than a sizeable chunk of Muslims though, in that they at least don't look to actively harm their host countries. But even that particular scourge is far outnumbered by those who are good citizens. Maybe I'm just thankful that there isn't the equivalent of AIPAC in the UK, where a political organisation loyal to a foreign state wields considerable power. Our subservience to the US doesn't count, as it's just a case of me too to the big dog that you'd expect in politics.

    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
    Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"
