U.S. refuses to condemn Israel attack

Boston Herald ^ | March 23, 2004 | Andrew Miga

[FairOpinion]

Bush is not getting intimidated by "world opinion".

I hope the American Jewish voter remember, that Bush is the best friend Israel ever had in a US president.

[Paleo Conservative]

My only criticism is that Israel didn't kill Arafat simultaneously.

I believe this, all right.

Standing Ovation over here...

"I hope the American Jewish voter remember, that Bush is the best friend Israel ever had in a US president."

Don't make the assumption that all Jews are pro-Israel. A great many of them are not. There's some serious emotional baggage involved, a kind of self-hatred that makes liberals' hatred of America look tame.

Actually what I am waiting for is for Israel to bomb Iran's nuke facility and Syria.

U.S. refuses to condemn Israel attack

Why do we show some guts and applaud it

[rickylc]

Wouldn't that make for a nice cheery headline in the morning?

I'd do a double dog Irish jig for that one.

Say what?

[LdSentinal]

He speaks the truth.

[Diogenesis]

Words cannot describe the emotion of anger against Miga
and the Boston Herald FOR IGNORING THE LIST OF THE MURDERED.

Terrorist Yassin is responsible for AT LEAST 377 dead, and 2,076 wounded.
including 3 American diplomats in Gaza. The list of names is here.

So any AMERICAN should be very deeply troubled why this POS was not terminated earlier.

[GeronL]

we should sent the helicopter pilot a medal.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Hamas, meanwhile, threatened America for the first time and hinted it might recruit outside assistance in mounting strikes

I know somebody on FR has a map of the US showing all the locations where Hamas has organized within the US.

Yep, there's a bit more work to be done (besides that which you already mentioned) --- Palestinian population transfer (back to their homeland in Jordan). .........The elimination of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Fatah, the PLO, etc.

Quite a bit, indeed.

I'm not questioning the veracity. I'm questioning the accuracy.

"I'm not questioning the veracity. I'm questioning the accuracy."

You'll have to distinguish between them for me. If you agree that I'm speaking the truth, why do you feel what I said may be inaccurate?

There are a great many liberal Jews who hate Israel in the same way that liberal Americans hate America. Generally, they fall into a category that I don't believe even deserves the title "Jewish", because they are usually completely secularist, just as I don't believe many liberal "Christians" deserve the title Christian, because in truth they are completely secularist and think Jesus was just a liberal social worker.

Most religious Jews I know of do support Israel. The ones who call themselves Jewish because their grandfather on their mother's side was Jewish, and who believe that an expression of their Jewishness is eating bagels, they are the ones who don't support Israel, and adopt the self-hatred of the liberal ideology.

Steve Emerson prepared such a map of the Islamic terrorist organizations in the US and I either keep forgetting to bookmark it, or bookmark it, but then I can't find it anyway.

It's a very disturbing, but revealing map.

Someone could ask Clarke what did he and Clinton do about that during the 8 years?

You could be saying what you believe to be true, but be mistaken in that belief.

I concur. There is also a tiny grain of truth to the self-hating/masochistic Jew stereotype - some Jews (far from all) get so used to being persectued (in their minds or in fact) that when they see other Jews fight back, they resent it as an implicit indictment of their passivity. Also, Judaism has a long history of compassion for the oppressed, which is sometimes perverted into compassion for losers, no matter how deserving such losers are of their fate.

The ones who call themselves Jewish because their grandfather on their mother's side was Jewish, and who believe that an expression of their Jewishness is eating bagels, they are the ones who don't support Israel, and adopt the self-hatred of the liberal ideology.

Again, I concur. There are tiny fringe sects of Judaism, such as the Neteuri Karta, who believe the State of Israel is illegitimate because it was not established and ruled by the Messiah, but these are no more representative of mainstream Judaism than Jim Jones was representative of mainstream Christianity.

Amen to that. As a Jew I say proudly: Abe Foxman--NO (hell no), George W. Bush--YES!

Good point. Hard to imagine even more "rage" amongst these animals. They are already at a peak, might as well add to it.
