Pat Buchanan: Lift the Siege of Gaza
townhall.com via Allahpundit on Twitter ^ | June 4th, 2010 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 06/03/2010 10:30:34 PM PDT by pillut48

And today, President Obama should end his and his country's shameful silence over the inhumane blockade of Gaza that is denying 1.5 million beleaguered people the basic necessities of a decent life.

Time to start acting like America again.

That bloody debacle in the Eastern Mediterranean last Sunday was an inevitable result of Israel doing what it always seems to do: going beyond what is essential to her security, to impose collective punishment upon any and all it regards as hostile to Israel.

Israel claims, and film confirms, that its commandos rappelling down onto the Turkish ship were attacked with sticks and metal rods. One was tossed off a deck, another tossed overboard into a lifeboat.

But that 2 a.m. boarding of an unarmed ship with an unarmed crew, carrying no munitions or weapons, 65 miles at sea, was an act of piracy. What the Israeli commandos got is what any armed hijacker should expect who tries to steal a car from a driver who keeps a tire iron under the front seat.

And the response of these highly trained naval commandos to the resistance they encountered? They shot and killed nine passengers, and wounded many more.

But we have a blockade of Gaza, say the Israelis, and this flotilla was a provocation. Indeed, it was. And Selma was a provocation. The marchers at Edmund Pettus Bridge were disobeying orders of the governor of Alabama and state police not to march.

If Pat could just resolve to never, ever talk about Israel, he’s sound like a pretty bright guy.

Pat is right. Our slavish support for Israel sucked us into a trillion dollar war. Let’s get the hell out. Flame away.

Is that a quote from Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul or yourself?

Pat you ignorant slut.

Shut up.

Seriously - Israel can defend itself anyway it wants.

I wish - I PRAY - that America defends itself from it’s invaders.

"Buchanan...anti-Semite"

W.F. Buckley had Buchanan figured out as an anti-Semite a long time ago.

Pat is a fool. Always has been and always will be. That is precisely why the media holds him up as the face of the Christian Conservatives.

You should just go ahead and be more direct by openly stating that you want Hamas to have rockets to utilize in killing Jews.

Yeah, and GWB was the coordinator of the 9/11 attacks.

"Slavish support"??? By all means, let's sell out that evil country that is monopolizing EVERYTHING in the entire middle east, and destroying all of those people around them who believe in God differently than they do. But don't destroy the country, just use some biological weapons that will clear out all the Jooooooooish vermin so that the TRUE owners of the land can come home to occupy it. Yeah, that's the ticket. /sarc

It’s a tough issue for Pat as he lost a relative in World War II.

Pat wants it both ways in this fence-straddler. "While Israel has the right to X, she shouldn't have done Y in accomplishing it" is the formulation of a moralistic second-guesser who wants the world to be other than it is. "While the U.S. had the right to oppose Hitler, it shouldn't have killed all those German civilians" is a classic example.

Likening this to Selma, Alabama is a grotesque analogy - nobody was shooting rockets into Alabama. This is a war that the moralists want to pretend isn't one.

Disclaimer: I like Pat Buchanan. I always have and probably always will.

Funny, I never figured Pat Buchanan as a "Blame America"/ anti-semite! He's jumped the shark COMPLETELY with this crap. >:-(

This is the one area of Pat Buchanan's public life that has always left me scratching my head. He has always been so entirely anti-Israel that I doubt Israel could ever do anything that would cause Buchanan to even remain ambivalent. I can't believe that he is pro terrorist. That makes no sense. He is just 'knee jerk' anti Israel.

He always has been. You can look it up.

Buchanan’s torture of the facts and law in this case finally makes it clear to me what I should have realized long ago. Buchanan is a flaming jew hater.

Glad you see it now.

Yeah, with regards to foreign affairs, I can pretty much read any Buchanan column and know I'd be taking the opposite position.
