Well, I meant Palestine. It's in east Texas. We also have a Rome, an Athens and a Washington (on-the-brazos). There is New Ulm, Paris, Egypt, Canadian and Turkey, and two towns named China Grove.
We've got Pep, Progress, Royalty, Friendship, Happy, Earth, Ponder, Utopia, Camelot, Uncertain and Magnet.
In a spirit of competition we have Best and Veribest.
In honour of local history we've got Old Glory, Muleshow, Gun Barrel City and everyone's favorite Cut and Shoot.
And of course there's Reklaw. They wanted to name the town Walker, but it was taken. There must have been too much confusion with the two China Groves....
But I think my all time favorite name is a body of water called "Woman Hollering Creek"
No Israel, though. Maybe we could make one.
-----------------
Now, let's see....
War vs. terrorism.
Hez. knows where the Israeli military installations are, but they send hundreds of rockets into villages.
Israel showers the countryside with leaflets first, telling the citizens to get out of the way.
War is a fight against enemies, with strategic targets. Civilians die, but it isn't then intent.
Terrorism intentionally targets ordinary people to try to scare them into submission.
And, yes I know, the infrastructure is now destroyed enough to make it difficult for civilians to get out. But it wasn't when the leaflets were first rained down on them.
