PRO-ISRAELI, ANTI-ARAB CAMPAIGNS COULD ISOLATE AMERICA

Meanwhile, Israel's hard-line Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has refused even to temper his attacks against the Palestinians, despite President Bush's constant requests. Even many of his own coalition say that he wants to destroy the Palestinian Authority, to see the Palestinian radicals installed as the next "government," and then to work toward driving the Palestinians into Jordan. </>

Nice balanced, non-biased reporting from the UPI...NOT

There's nothing wrong with isolating oneself against the evils of the world.

PRO-ISRAELI, ANTI-ARAB CAMPAIGNS COULD ISOLATE AMERICA

So what? Pro-Israel bump.

Geyer has been trying to get Israel to go to the showers as long as Geyer has been writing a column. Nothing the Jews could do would ever be sufficient to Geyer other than the Jews making a lemming run into the Meditteranean Sea. Nothing new in Geyer's opinion. But she does know how to sing the praises of the Sheiks of Saudi. Maybe she's hoping to become one of the 100 wives or even concubines?

Yes, it will isolate us from the murderous jihadist savages in the Islamic world. It's NOT going to isolate us from Europe, Great Britain, Australia, China, and Russia, as well as the Council of Independent States (aka the "Icky-stans.") It certainly won't isolate us from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, or Hong Kong. Subsaharan (i.e. non-Muslim) Africa has more problems with Communism than radical Islam, but they don't turn down our aid for all that. It may not even isolate us from Iran (which is one of the odd reversals of this whole war.) As far as the jihadist savages, let them be isolated until they can show they're ready to join the rest of the world in the 21st century.

[ikanakattara]

Addendum: nor will it isolate us from India - in fact, kicking jihadist rear will bind us closer geopolitically to the Indians.

Geyer is a moron. Read the Papers in the so called 'Moderate" states and allies, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. They are full of hate and calls for killing Americans. They print nothing without the approval tacit or otherwise of their goverment. They condemn themselves with their own words.

[prognostigaator]

To the Israel Firsters'

Meanwhile, it does not take a von Clausewitz or a Sun Tzu to figure out, militarily and also politically, that it would be the worst kind of madness to isolate America in this difficult, poisonous struggle.

The idea of thrusting America into two wars at once and eviscerating the support it needs in the region is not some mischievous theoretical game. It is a deadly, real-life game, and "its players should certainly know better."

"its players should certainly know better."

[B Knotts]

I can only hope that America is isolated from the backwards thinking of the Islamic world.

[kidd]

Israel is fighting a second front against terrorism. And they have been doing it alone. They have been reasonable and more than patient. America, for the most part, is already "isolated". Time to stop tying their hands.

[Leto]

Sun Tsu would of course notice that we are already isolated. They pay lip service to us to stay out of our gunsights.

We go through the motions so we can take them out 1 at a time.

Isreal has nothing to do with this. THey have attacked the US, and they view us as the Great Satan. They view us as the mortal enemies of Islam. This is THEIR view not mine.

DOn't seperate the TATICS of fighting a war with the Strategic realities we face.

[hsszionist]

The Israeli people deserve our continued support. They have kept their resolve under the blistering hatred of the vast majority of nations on this planet. Not to say we should let the nations of Islam drift to far from us. After all you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

[veronica]

Geyer is an anti-semite from way back. Think Reese-Sobran. Nutcakes. Interesting you post all three.

[rebdov]

You are on the money.

There persists amongst a certain crowd a determined effort to ignore all the sins of the Arabs and find only the Jews guilty of all evil.

[rebdov]

For all the accusations of treason like calling people Israel firsters ( I have always wondered why that is protected speech on FreeRepublic but 'Jew haters' is forbidden) does anyone stand up and admit that they are Israel Lasters and can't wait 'til those Jews and their country go to the showers?

[vrwc54]

The Israel Lasters preoccupation with Israel is, of course, simply because of Jew-hatred. They would care less about the middle east if the it had no Jews.

Anti-zionism is today's politically correct version of anti-Semitism. It has an air of acceptability.

These people, for all their bravado, don't have the guts to come out of the closet and own up to their Jew-hatred.

However, on the Samuel Francis Forum, which many of the Israel Lasters visit, they let it all hang out. They blast Free Republic continually for allowing Jews and Christian zionists to express their views.
