I Stand with Israel: I Stand with the Jews

I find it shameful that in Italy there should be a procession of individuals dressed as suicide bombers who spew vile abuse at Israel, hold up photographs of Israeli leaders on whose foreheads they have drawn the swastika, incite people to hate the Jews. And who, in order to see Jews once again in the extermination camps, in the gas chambers, in the ovens of Dachau and Mauthausen and Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen et cetera, would sell their own mother to a harem.

I find it shameful that the Catholic Church should permit a bishop, one with lodgings in the Vatican no less, a saintly man who was found in Jerusalem with an arsenal of arms and explosives hidden in the secret compartments of his sacred Mercedes, to participate in that procession and plant himself in front of a microphone to thank in the name of God the suicide bombers who massacre the Jews in pizzerias and supermarkets. To call them "martyrs who go to their deaths as to a party."

I find it shameful that in France, the France of Liberty-Equality-Fraternity, they burn synagogues, terrorize Jews, profane their cemeteries. I find it shameful that the youth of Holland and Germany and Denmark flaunt the kaffiah just as Mussolini's avant garde used to flaunt the club and the fascist badge.

This sounds like the people at the DU who do nothing all day but spout hate, without any subtle attempts, of bush, his wife, their kids, us, etc. The left is filled with massive amounts of hate and vile actions. No surprise to see it in the left wing anti-israel freaks.

Reincarnation at work?

Are the Nazis coming back as Moslem sand goblins?

If they are I'll bet they sorely miss Germany's cooler climate, blonde women and beer.

And Hitler, if he sees Yessir I'mafart staring back from the mirror in the morning, must be fit to be tied.

Oriana Fallaci rocks! bump.

Does anyone have a link to her post-9/11 rant handy?

This lady "get it", even if she does have a socialist past.

A powerful piece of writing. Is there anything comparable from the U.S. literary or journalistic world?

This is the spirit of the anti-christ. The only thing missing is the anit-christ himself. But, it won't be to long now. He'll raise his ugly head up soon.

Very entertaining too. A few years ago (many), in writing an article on Quaddafi of Libya, she commented on his wearing platform shoes. Italy has been laughing at Quaddafi ever-since.

Anyone have a reference for this? As a Catholic, I am always amazed at the twisted courses some of the prelates can set off on in the name of 'justice'. God help us.

"I find it shameful" is Falaccis' take on the famous "J'Accuse" article by Emile Zola at the time of the Dreyfus case in France (1890's). The Dreyfus case was, of course, about anti-semitism.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

This man may have the cloth and the right credentials. But, he obviously doesn't have the Holy Spirit residing in him.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I always liked Falacci, besides my mother, the only other Italian with balls.

As for the rest of you, G-d is waiting for you to commit your souls, to Israel or to the nations, then the party's gonna get started!

Fallaci, like Chris Hitchens, have taken the current paradigms of leftism to their logical conclusion and find that they don't like them one bit. Good on them, but a lot of us did that years ago and have been saying so for a long time.
