Interview with Phyllis Chesler: 'Israel Under Existential Siege'
INN ^ | 2/21/11 | Fern Sidman,

Posted on 02/20/2011 10:20:33 PM PST by Nachum

Israel National News reporter Fern Sidman interviewed op-ed columnist, Dr. Phyllis Chesler, at a first-of-its-kind conference in Toronto organized by Advocates for Civil Liberties and entitled, "When Middle East Politics Invade Campus". Held on February 16th, the event dealt with the continued and increasingly hostile demonization of Israel, both on the college campus and in the media.

INN: Today, you addressed the escalating hatred of Israel in the realm of Western academia. Can you tell us your observations of this phenomenon since your book, "The New Anti-Semitism" came about some years ago?

PC: As I first wrote in 2001-2002, the new anti-Semitisim also consists of a rather frightening, genocidal anti-Zionism. The global demonization of Israel has gathered such speed and force that it could, potentially – it is certainly meant to – delegitimize and destroy the Jewish state. In 2005, Iran’s Ahmadinejad said that Israel must be “wiped off the map.” In 2006, he said that the Middle East would be better off “without the existence of the Zionist regime” and that Israel would “soon be wiped out.” No one did anything.

An existential siege is one thing.

Existential siege with a few hundred rather effective deploy able nuclear devices is another thing.

This is what the (fake)Jews get for backing Democrats.

God’s prophecy is very, very accurate and it is unalterable.

That, together with this, makes me wonder: How close are we to the armies of the world gathering together against Jerusalem, in the plain of Megiddo?
