Bruce Ramsey is also a pro-Palestinian Israeli hater. The Leftist anti-semites are coming out in full force for Osama Obama. These are the rest of his comments:
In a few months, in early 1939, Hitler ordered the invasion of what is now the Czech Republic—that is, territory that was not German. Then it was obvious that a deal with him was worthless. He made a promise and broke it within about six months. And so when Bush recalls the unnamed senator who, in September 1939, lamented that he had not been able to talk to Hitler, he hits an easy target. But the moment of September 1939 is nothing like today.
In September 1939, when Germany started the war, it had no just claim to any more territory. But the Palestinians who fight Israel do have a just claim to territory. We can argue what it is; we can argue about the justness of their military tactics, and so on. And the same for the Israeli side, which is equally arguable.
The step that must be taken now is for the two sides to talk, so that they can make a deal that both will accept, and that each side will enforce against its radical elements. In that context, to continually bring up Hitler, the Nazis, the Munich Conference and continually use the word “appeasement,” is wrong. To use those comparisons is to assert that it is morally questionable even to talk to the Palestinians. It is to give an excuse to seal them off, cast them out, to deny that they have any just claims. And they do have just claims. To compare the Palestinians—who are occupied, oppressed, denied, stepped-on—with Hitler’s Germany in 1939 is incredible and ridiculous .

Thank you both for linking the piece and comments. The people responding covered everything that I could think of and more but the Times probably gave the turkey a raise.
This jerk is unfit to live in this country. He is in fact unfit to live.
“When the British let Hitler have a slice of Czechoslovakia, they were following their historical wisdom: avoid war. War produces results far more horrible than you expected. War is a bad investment. It is not glorious. Don’t give anyone an excuse to start one.”
What the author fails to grasp is that giving Hitler “a slice of Czechoslovakia: was the “excuse to start one.” A war that is. The Sudatenland was the key to Poland. This land was fortified and mountainous. It was the cork in the bottle which once removed Czechoslovakia became undefensible clearing the way for Hitler to take over the entire land. And, the loss of Czechoslovakia opened up the entire southern border of Poland making it’s defeat inevitable. No, the place to stop Hitler was in the Sudatenland.
