I thought “the cleaning lady” died.
Only in the eyes of evil, and the terminally delusional.

Albright never believed that Israel possessed any moral authority at all and therefore has none to lose.
Has the cleaning lady’s family returned the artwork and treasures stolen from the Jews in WW II, yet?
That fierce old bird is still alive? She must be a sight.
Moral Relativism is a form of evil.
If only she would join Helen Thomas on the nature trail to hell.
(This is not an endorsement for anyone to post Helen pics!)
I thought she was suffering from temporary sanity when I read “Hamas putting civilians in line of fire hurts ...”. Then I got to “ ... Israel’s ‘moral authority’” and realized that she was just as deranged and anti-Semitic as ever.
I went and read the article hoping that at least she had made some attempt to justify or explain such an outrageous statement - Nup - ‘Cause she says so!
I have learnt not to argue with lefties - just ask them to explain their reasoning behind most of their statements - the more you question the more you whittle them down to “’Cause I say so”.

To that end, Israel began the gradual and methodical withdrawal from many PLO towns and villages on the West Bank while the PLO promised to erase 2 sections from their Charter calling for the destruction of Israel. Seems pretty fair, right “MAD”? Tangible assets for the promises of peace to come, on paper? Hmmmm.
Well, the more Israel withdrew and provided (along with the US and Europe) Arafart with weapons, money and EVERYTHING HE NEEDED TO START NATION BUILDING. What did they Israelis get in reciprocity? Intifada II. 1,000 dead Israeli men, women and children, blown to bits on buses, in cafes and on the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and 4,500 wounded and maimed civilians.
What has the PLO (later called PA - Palestinian Authority)given up as part of their COMPROMISE (a word, by the way that does not exist in the Muslim-Arab dictionary-look around the entire planet)? Anybody? I would like to hear from somebody what tangible thing did the Arabs compromise on?
MAD HAlfbright, like Warren Christopher, Dennis Ross, Martyn Indyk, Sandy Berger, William Cohen, Bill Clinton, Shimon Peres, Yitzak Rabin, Hilliary Clinton and SO MANY OTHER professional diplomats GOT IT ALL WRONG due to a fundamental conceptual error. They were all Western-oriented people, thinking the Arabs think like them, feel like them, hurt like them - after all, are we all not human beings? We are STILL MAKING THE SAME ASSUMPTIONS which are doomed to fail, yet again.
Getting back to MAD Halfbright’s comment from circa 1994, the Arabs, Muslims, Iranians,Afghanis, Libyans, Egyptians DO NOT THINK LIKE US, DO NOT SHARE OUR ASPIRATIONS, DO NOT PERCIEVE THE WORLD AS WE DO. The opposite is true. We got a tatse of this on 9/11, just a mild tatse of things to come. This should have been a wake up call but then, America elected a loser, more on that in another post.
The ONLY difference between the stated aims of the PLO and the HAMAS is that the HAMAS are religious fanatics while Abu Mazen’s PLO FATAH are secular terorrists. Their goal was, and is the same - the utter destruction of Israel.
So, next time we hear the term (used ONLY against Israel) about “disproportionate retaliation” please bear in mind, Israel must fight for her life in such a way that her neighbors fear her, thinking she has gone bananas. This is called “deterrence”.
People who do not see this (in the Dept. of State, WH, etc.), are doomed through their policies of Appeasement.
Support Israel (a 21st century Democracy) in her war on Medeival Tribal savages.
Also go look up a Dr. Wafa Sultan, a Syrian American physician who speaks the truth courageously about Islam.
Hamas puts the civilians in harms way to get killed. When they are killed due to the action of Hamas this becomes a moral outrage against Israel? This logic is insanity.
The Gaza is a money pit from hell for Israel. If Gaza would live in peace with Israel there would be no war. This war is a function of Hamas action against Israel. It must always be remembered that Gaza was taken by Israel in the 67 war and then given back to the Palestinians by Israel. When it was given back it became a locus of war against Israel.
In WWII we did not give Hitler nor Tojo a place of refuge. The United States and allies crushed and destroyed Germany and Japan. In the wake of this destruction peace, liberty, and freedom flourished. Until the cancer of radical Islam in the Middle East is destroyed there will be no peace, no liberty nor freedom.
As an aside I must comment that I have lived and worked in the Middle East. The vast majority of the Arabs there want nothing but peace. However when you consider that about 5% of that group are fanatical, you have many millions that are willing and want to fight at all levels of war and terrorism and barbarism. Death in this cause is not to be feared but welcomed. Until Israel is no more or the fanatics are dead there will be no peace.
I will always remember what my employer in Oman said to me when Anwar Sadat established peace with Israel and spoke to the Knesset in Israel. I was very excited about this. My boss, “Sheik Said” did not share my joy although he wanted the same thing. He also wanted peace and knew of what he spoke. Prior to this time he was the Ambassador from Zanzibar to the UN. His exact words were, “Sadat is a dead man.” Sadly he was correct. Sadat died at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood which today is closely allied with Hamas and really is one and the same.
I wish Gaza was a part of Egypt again, but unfortunately the present leaders of Egypt are not stupid. Hamas is a threat to Egypt also.

...so per her rationale, the best strategy for ANY COMBATANT is to stick innocent human beings into the line of fire and hope as many get killed as possible.
I wish there was a way to apply it to her family members...and maybe would then think differently.
