Your red star is showing.

[Sabramerican]

It simply doesn't have enough assets to make it anything more than that.

I often wonder if you folks believe half the things you write. I don't know if it would be worse if you do or if you don't.

The cell phone was invented mostly in Israel as was the Pentium processor.

Israel medical inventions are extraordinary.

It's agriculture is World renown.

A Nation threatened and always at war has created miracles in every field.

You really believe an Israeli State left in peace would not flourish?

[Nowhere Man]

Pat Buchanan has shown his true colors, and they are ugly. He has proven himself to be a crank and crackpot unworthy of serious discussion or even respect. Conservatives of all stripes should shun him.

I've always agreed (and still do in thought) with Pat on economic and social issues as well as our sovereignty but something like this makes me hesitant on supporting him now. If he was pro-Israel, it would be no question but to back terrorists, well, I can't really support anyone like that. It's a shame.

[A. Pole]

I read your tag-line ("The freemarketeers are economic men, greedy, rational and controlled by the invisible hand market."). Everyone is influenced by the invisible hand [...] the invisible hand, if it were a being with feelings, angry enough to want to smack the dog piss [...] Perhaps you should reread Smith's paragraphs [...]

It seems to me that free market ideology is a cult. I have another tagline, see below.

That's not what I said. I suggested that an Israeli state comprised of the entire area now covered by Israel and the occupied territories would have the same limitations that a Palestinian state covering the same area would have. The biggest issues they face would be limited natural resources and water supply constraints.

You can tell me all you want about their "world-reknown" agriculture, but the amount of land in Israel that is capable of supporting agricultural land uses is quite small.

[Sabramerican]

How was Gaza put to such good use?

[Alberta's Child]

Was it?

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is perfect. Buchanan hates foreign aid except for Hamas. Why would that be? Because they want to destroy Israel? No, that can't be it.

Pat, the anti-Semite assclown.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What will Hamas do? They are not going to disarm in the face of an Israeli military that has been killing Palestinians – collateral damage, of course – at four times the rate that Palestinians have been killing Israelis. They are not going to give up their trump card and recognize Israel's right to exist before they get a Palestinian state.

Buchanan is a hamas propagandist IDIOT. We can always count on him to be on the wrong side of the Israel situation.

[WalterSkinner]

..another voice who does not know when to get off the stage...

[Cinnamon Girl]

Several. Are American Jews visiting Israel not American enough for you?

[Toddsterpatriot]

They are not going to disarm in the face of an Israeli military that has been killing Palestinians – collateral damage, of course

Cute. Gee Pat, do you think that if the Israelis wanted to intentionally kill civilians like the "Palestinians" do, that the "Palestinian" death rate would be so low?

– at four times the rate that Palestinians have been killing Israelis.

Do you get the feeling that when he writes this he's gritting his teeth? And saying, "Damn Palestinians, can't you do better than that"?

[Cinnamon Girl]

Pat is like the BBC and other news outlets that doesn't differentiate between targeted killing of terrorists (of which there have been several in the past week) and the indescriminate bombing of restaurants and buses full of civilians. He also doesn't sort out the number of so-called palestinians who have died at the hands of other palestinians or by the work hazard of producing their own bombs.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yes, protectionists are bad at math.

[Cinnamon Girl]

He ALSO probably couldn't care less how many bombers the Israelis have stopped at the borders and thereby saved the lives of hundreds of Israelis.

[Toddsterpatriot]

He does seem to have a problem with the Joooos.

[MikefromOhio]

Do you get the feeling that when he writes this he's gritting his teeth?

You took the words directly out of my mouth.....

Hamas is a terrorist group which, unlike Fatah, has aspirations far beyond Israel. Amongst their aspirations, liberating all Muslim lands, as in Sicily, Rome, Southern France, and Spain, which they’re beginning to agitate for.

They’ve identified the United States as the “first enemy”, called for “economic jihad” against the US, maintain both cells and financing activities here, illegal but who cared, and have planned but not carried out attacks in the US.

However to my knowledge, the American’s they’ve killed have been Jews, in Israel. And they’ve killed a lot of Jews the last few years, so in certain circles they’re an acceptable component of the international community.

Personally, these people make me sick, it's a shame they're associated in any way with the right.

[SunkenCiv]

Pitchfork Pat: "For it has been Israel's behavior, and uncritical U.S. support for that behavior, that produced this victory for Hamas."

It was US behavior which produced the Moslem Arab hijackers who mass murdered thousands on 9/11/2001. And journalistic behavior (Mohammed cartoons) which caused the reaction in the Moslem world. And the pre-WWII behavior of the Jews which caused Hitler to start the Holocaust.

Church to remove Moor-slayer saint
Posted on 05/03/2004 5:52:51 PM EDT by swilhelm73

A statue in a Spanish cathedral showing St James slicing the heads off Moorish invaders is to be removed to avoid causing offence to Muslims... Among the reasons for the move is to avoid upsetting the "sensitivities of other ethnic groups". The statue of St James "the Moor-slayer" is expected to be replaced by one depicting the calmer image of St James "the Pilgrim", by the same 18th century artist, Jose Gambino. The Saracen-slaying image of St James, or Santiago in Spanish, is a symbol of the fight between Christianity and Islam and the reconquest of Spain from eight centuries of Moorish rule before 1492. The saint is said to have appeared to Christian troops fighting Moorish army at the Battle of Clavijo in 844, the crusaders rallying to the cry of "Santiago y cierra Espana" - "St James, we will reconquer Spain"... Cathedral authorities insist the timing of the decision has nothing to do with the 11 March bombings in Madrid, which an Islamic group is alleged to have carried out.
