What’s disturbing is the way the western press eats these lies up. No matter how many of them are proven to be lies, they just keep shoveling them out, one after another, and nary a look back or an apology or retraction when they are disproved.

Exactly why is it that Israel has a duty to provide healthcare for Palestinians in perpetuity? Emergencies, yes. But the western press and intellectuals seem to think that no matter how many times the Palestinians abuse the Israeli healthcare system, or plant bombs in ambulances, they have no obligation to build hospitals and clinics of their own, to provide for their own people. It’s not as if the west doesn’t give them an endless supply of cash.

They are too busy hiring private goons, explosive vests, hate TV, qassim rockets and AK-47's

Just another example of the centuries-old "blood libel." For hundreds upon hundreds of years, there have been millions of people around the world ready to believe even the most outlandish claims about the "evil" of Jews. The people of England maintained a vituperative animosity towards Jews through nearly four hundred years when not a single Jew lived on the British Isles. This broad-based sentiment founded in century after century of libel is what Hitler tapped into to accomplish the murder of six million Jews. It's been such a constant throughout history one might reasonably despair whether it will ever change.
