I'm sorry, I see a lot of posters asserting this but the above article proves nothing but either shortsightedness or state department blather. Can you please cite for me Rice's Jew-hatred?

*************

I'm curious to hear about this as well.

All this is nothing but the continuation of the policies of Daddy Bush, James Baker, King Ahab Klinton, Warren Christopher, and Madeline Halfbright! If there are any differences between the policies toward Israel and the Jihadstinians by these various players, they seem well hidden.

Condi's statment shows that she needs to change her meds.

Rice has come out of the closet and shown all the world that she too hates Jews. It's sad, I expected so much more than that out of her.

That statement is so risible as to be beneath contempt. Please put the bong down and back slowly away from the keyboard.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

The prima facie case makes itself. Show me one other country where a similar policy is pursued. For example, why aren't we putting similar pressure on Sri Lanka to accommodate its Tamils?

Incident of what?

No. It has been the policy of the U.S. Government since the 1967 war to restore the borders to something like they once were prior to June, 1967. Israel simply won't quit "all" occupied territories, just "some" of them. Calling Rice an anti-Semite simply because she is pursuing long-standing American foreign policy is contemptible.

There is simply no reason to draw the conclusion that Condi hates Jews because Condi is pursuing American foreign policy objectives which will, in the end, separate Israelis from murderous Palestinians.

They don't get along because the Pallies have an infantile, murderous political culture, like most Arabs.

This is a policy of separation, period. Rice is pursuing the best hand that is available.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Incidents of telling the Israelis not to defend themselves against terrorists - in direct conflict with the established US policy, by the way (Road Map).

The policy of this administration is the Road Map, under which Israel has no obligations before the Palestinians stop terrorism.

I really can't believe that some folks here want to see Condi as our next president. This isn't the first time she has made ridiculous statements like this.

This is official USG foreign policy. The WH is responsible for its formulation and Condi implements it.

Either cite for me a quote where she says "Don't defend yourself against terrorists." or leave your editorial distortions out of it. Let's try it again, what are her sins?

Ah, so now that my basic point has been established as truth, it's my choice of words that offends you. Too bad, the truth hurts.

You'd have no problem seeing this as the anti-semitic initiative it is if it were ISM or Amnesty International making that demand.

The creation of a Palestinian state will lead to the destruction of Israel.

It actually doesn't even matter because Blair will pull out of Iraq if we don't support him in his desire to see a Palestine created. So, the decision is already made and made by someone other than us. Our Israel policy is written up on Downing Street.

The White House always
urges Russia to talk with
Chechens. They're nuts, too.

Can't say the White House
hates Russians. Politics just
makes for posturing.

It is contemptible and disgusting that you put Rice in the camp of Nazis for asserting a foolish position on behalf of the President, the State Department and the entire Administration. You cheapen the term "anti-Semitism" to the point where it doesn't mean anything anymore. You're worse than a Foxman, worse than Jesse Jackson, worse than anyone you defame when you choose to use that label so recklessly.

You dishonor the lives of millions who died under real anti-Semitism, just so you can have a position that's free from criticism. Sickening.

Rice presses for Israel to allow free passage of "cargo" (otherwise known as weapons for terrorists)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1515359/posts

Rice presses for Israel to reopen roads to Palis immediately after a terror attack

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1505431/posts

Great summary of Rice's Arabism (from Powerline and others)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1486196/posts



The pattern is well-established by now, so I have no reservations about calling a spade a spade. This administration doesn't get the (lame, insufficient) excuse that it's merely following a decades-old US policy, because none of the previous policymakers lived in a post-9/11 world - her predecessors at least had the excuse of ignorance. Rice is actively advocating for the interests of (the world's most virulent and barbaric) terrorists in a post 9/11 world. But oddly enough it is *only* in Israel where this demand is made. No similar demand for Iraq to allow people to cross from Syria and Iran; no similar demand on Sri Lanka, the Philippines, France, or Russia or any other nation.

On its face Rice is pursuing a very antisemitic policy, and given the appearance and the history the burden is on those who say it is not to give a substantial reason why it is not.

Ho! Did I say "Nazis"? Not every anti-semite is a Nazi. You're reading things into my posts which I have not said or implied. (Not that the Palis wouldn't gleefully conduct a Final Solution if they had the opportunity.)

Oh yea, you hear that all the time on FR, what date/year did these agreements originate? When did Blair originally ask us to do his bidding in Israel?
