I like this quote:

Now, we have learned a painful lesson here in the United States that our government, and especially our intelligence services do many things that the people are not aware of and would not approve of. The same appears to be the case in Israel, where the Mossad has engaged in tactics most Israelis would probably find quite objectionable, indeed almost Hitlerian, without their knowledge and certainly without their support.

There's actually a surprizing history of Jews in Ireland.

Robert Briscoe (Jewish) was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin some time in the 50's or 60's.

Rabbi Isaac Herzog of Dublin also became the first Cheif Rabbi of Israel.

Intermarraige and immigration has pretty much reduced the number of Jews in Dubin to a few handful.

Old joke: "A Jew elected Mayor of Dublin? Only in America!"

Would he be Ben Briscoe's father?

Mervyn Taylor, the Minister for Equality and Law Reform in the last Government, was jewish too, if I remember correctly.

It's really the Dutch. Read the Protocols of the Elders of Rotterdam, and you'll see what I mean. (/sarcasm) The migration of Jew hating Muslims into Western countries, is the cause of this.

Reading this screed, no one would guess America is solidly behind Israel, that conservatives are leading the charge to see that Israel does live in peace, that many of us want Hamas wiped off the face of the earth and that America has spent billions of dollars and lost lives protecting Israel.

It's nice to see there is at least one non-j@rkoff in Europe.

Why is it that you deem every article advocating support of Israel as a screed of some sort? This article does not just address the US, but the West in general. You keep saying you are pro Israel, but-.

I am sure that you are correct, but I think that the article's main thrust is also true. The voices of those of us who support Israel are drowned out by the eternal, liberal, self hating drone that goes 'America is selfish and evil' and by extension, anything that America supports must also be evil, including Israel's insistence on striking back in its own defense.

Twice, 1956 and 1961. And his son in 1988. A virtual Kennedy dynasty.

This article does not just address the US, but the West in general.

So why do none of these articles mention the overwhelming support Israel has among the American people? The insinuation in all these screeds is Jews have no support anywhere. They do. Among people like me who get called antisemitic when I suggest our support be acknowledged. Israel has the most powerful country on earth on their side. One of these writers could at least acknowledge that not everyone is out to get Jews and that Americans do sacrifce to protect Israel.
