Why do I get the impression you do not like Israel? Bibi spoke the truth to wimpiness, being Obama, who needs a history lesson.

A foolish statement by Rep Walsh, which I'm sure is the result of his inexperience in the political forum, he's spent his life earning a living for his family, before turning to public service.
The problem with Rep Walsh's statement is twofold.
First, that his solution to Israel's problems is the only one, bar none.
More importantly, his assumption that Jews vote only on what's best for Israel, thus his dismay. The disloyalty canard. No, he didn't mean it that way, but Jews pick up on that.
The typical Freerepublic canard. What's wrong with you stupid, Hitler voting Jews. We have the solution to Israel's problems. So you vote for us, because you vote for Israel, else you're a communist, self hating Jew who deserves deportation. Yes. just in the last week I've seen deportation advocated on FR. But no one has come to my door.
Politically, it's a losing arguement.
Put yourself in the place of a conflicted O'Bama supproter.
Couple years ago GWB advocated the 1949 lines, with changes based on facts on the ground. From the perspective of someone who supports or trusts O'Bama, and that's a s*itload of Christians, not much difference.
Other that his SOS statement that the palestinians were like her oppressed friends in the south, a place O'Bama hasn't gone yet.
I pointed these things out at the time, heard some dissent, but I do think my opinion that GWB's positions, and I've no doubt of his support for Israel, coult take on a different color as American policy in future administrations. Particularly the absurd concept of a contiguous palestinian state, requiring a corridor through Israel connecting Judea and Samaria to Gaza.
I wish GWB was a bit more careful about his words. But if I had my choice, I'd have preferred he scrapped "No Child Left Behind" and the medicare drug benefit. Fortunately immigration reform failed.
By Rep. Walsh's statement, I should have taken a pass on these things, since GWB was, imo, supportive of Israel.
That is akin to welfare state liberals who show their "love" of the poor by keeping them on welfare for eternity and then complaining when the government tries to put any strings on these recipients.
Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons. It is perfectly able to take care of itself without your welfare.
A quick perusal of Captain Kirk’s post reveal a constant stream of attacks against all things Israeli or Jewish — from any angle, no logic, just anti-Jewish.
He’s on basically every thread, and has been for at least a year, dancing on the edge of being zot worthy.
I hope he’s a paid Soros poster to paint conservatives as anti-semitic.
Otherwise, he’s just sad and pathetic.
