I’ve defended Buchanan in the past, but he’d better start paying closer attention to who his allies are on this issue.
Sadly, Pat has gone pretty deep into the loony bin since his presidential bid. His prior thinking could be seen as an alternative intellectual take for quite a while there, but his comments about the Middle-East, Europe, Naziism, and other things have gotten worse.
His grasp of military matters is lame. His grasp of U.S. involvement in prior wars is also lame.
The guy is just ‘out there’.
Israel is in the right here. There just isn’t any other rational explanation considering the terrorism it is subject to.
That Buchanan, Obama, Europe, the Democrat Party, and sadly even the Republican party to a degree can’t buy a clue with regard to this, is shameful. It’s more than a black-eye on the West. It’s fast becoming open flagrant and raging anti-Semitic.
We all think Helen Thomas was out of line, but what are the apolgists for the Arabs, and the unjust criticizers of Israel doing if not the same thing?
When Israel takes measure to end terrorism, and our Presidents and other appointees and political leaders demand it show restraint, isn’t that tantamount to saying it’s okay for Jews die?
Why is it that the U.N. and Helen Thomas are bad, and yet our people are good when they are Helen Thomas in sheep’s clothing?
We are losing it in the West, and no amount of explaining it away covers it any longer.
