Make that "comrades-in-arms."
If Spielberg and Kushner were to hear bin Laden, were really to hear him, they would begin to understand that it is not Israel, not George Bush, but they, the American Left, who are bin Laden's comrades-in-arms. 3

How did Schlemielberg go from Schindler's List to THIS travesty? I think the retaliations were like this NSA wiretapping situation. At the time, anybody with a lick of compassion was all for it and only sorry that things went wrong with the one hit. This was before revenge had been redefined as a hate crime. This was when it was remembered that through turning the other cheek Hister was allowed to carry out his diabolical scheme to rid European Jews of their rightful places in Euro society. This was when "Never Again" still meant something.

I remember Munich. I remember sitting in my Eigth grade classroom and hearing the news on a hot Indian Summer day in Springfield, IL. I remember the sick feeling in my stomach, and the loathing for the palestinian terrorists I felt, that felt like it would never leave. Unsurprisingly, it has never left, and I have never seen anything out of anyone that calls themself palestinian to change my mind. Never. Not once.

believes that the creation of the state of Israel was "a historical, moral, political calamity" for the Jewish people

Just what were the survivors of the Shoah supposed to do after WWII? They were expelled from Europe, no one would take them in, they realized there was no one they could depend on but themselves. The strong alliance with the US came later. Perhaps THAT was their calamity because with dependence came the necessity to make compromises that the US requires, which many of us believe is slowly killing the Jewish State today.

"Oven Jews".

Wow. That's harsh. How about Trotskyite Jews? That's what they remind me of. The Jewish intellectuals that helped the communists overthrow the Czar and then found themselves in the Gulag, or dying looking down the barrel of a gun.

"Trotskyite Jews"

I had some of those in the family tree, too. Actually a different mindset. There was a rationality there, (altho the thinking was flawed).

I think they were just duped into thinking that if they were secular they wouldn't be considered "jews." Big surprise.

THE 'MUNICH' ALLUSION:
THE DANGER OF SPIELBERG AND THE AMERICAN LEFT

At the time, '96, [bin Laden] had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.

Clinton Reveals on Secret Audio:
I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer



[T]he legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. [T]hey... went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled.... America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim.... I say to [the American people] that they have put themselves at the mercy of a disloyal government, and this is most evident in Clinton's administration....

INTERVIEW Osama bin Laden
(may 1998)
In the first part of this interview which occurred in May 1998, a little over two months before the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama bin Laden answers questions posed to him by some of his followers at his mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. In the latter part of the interview, ABC reporter John Miller is asking the questions.
BIN LADEN FINGERS CLINTON FOR TERROR SUCCESS (SEE FOOTAGE)



Funny that the Movie is called "Munich" since, until about 20 years ago, the very word "Munich" was a synonym for appeasement of evil-doers and moral equivalency, the result of Chamberlain's famous "scrap of paper" in which Hitler promised, in Chamberlain's words, "Peace in our time." Is Speilberg aware of the background of "Munich?

unich,' Steven Spielberg's new movie, is less about Golda Meir avenging the 1972 Munich massacre than it is about George Bush waging the War on Terror, which makes it doubly hard to believe that the historical allusion wasn't part of the calculation that went into constructing the title.1

What was Spielberg thinking? Was he thinking at all?

Had he not read bin Laden's comments about The War in general or about The War and clinton in particular? 2

Why doesn't he realize that the terrorist's impetus is precisely the "Munich" syndrome of appeasement, self-loathing and psychologizing that is practiced so fastidiously by the American LeftBritish appeasement policy led to the Treaty of Munich, the next major step for Hitler to create an all-German Reich today?

And why doesn't he see 'Israel' as simply the terrorist's metaphor for us all, for western civilization in its entirety?

If Spielberg and his screenwriter, Tony Kushner, were to hear bin Laden, were really to hear him, they would begin to understand that it is not Israel, not George Bush, but they, the American Left, who are bin Laden's comrades-in-arms. 3

"I remember exactly what happened. Bruce Lindsey said to me on the phone, 'My God, a second plane has hit the tower.' And I said, 'Bin Laden did this.' that's the first thing I said. He said, 'How can you be sure?' I said 'Because only bin Laden and the Iranians could set up the network to do this and they [the Iranians] wouldn't do it because they have a country in targets. Bin Laden did it.'
I thought that my virtual obsession with him was well placed and I was full of regret that I didn't get him."
