Mark Steyn: Struggle puts a premium on being anti-Jew

By your logic the state of Delaware needs to take over some of the surrounding counties in its bordering neighbors, because it is "too small."

Oh, wait, the borders are fixed, nevermind.

Israel took land that doesn't belong to it. It did so without benefit of treaty, unilaterally.

It would be one thing if they simply did as they originally said they were going to do: Make a DMZ with troops stationed as a tripwire.

But soon, the radical elements in Israel began agitating for "greater Israel"--which exists only in their fervid imaginations--and building ILLEGAL (even by Israeli law) settlements.

Your whining about "but Israel is too small" is irrelevant. They took land that was NOT theirs, and they have been agitating and harrassing the people that lived there long before Jews ever showed up, people who just wanted to be left alone, and they've tried to displace them (the so-called "Law of Transfer"--Israeli radicals always act like the Old Testament and the thousands of years gone by events contained in it is current history).

Not surprisingly, they got some resistance, and now a full scale revolt on their hands.

The Israeli fascists like Netanyahu put their feet in it, and have reaped the whirlwind.

I stand with Pres. Bush and urge the Israelis to withdraw, and let those people the h*ll alone.

bump!

Oops! Bumping the article!!!!! I am convinced that the ME politics by Bush
is that he tells the Israelis to "Withdraw without delay", but he is really
signaling something else privately. IMHO.......

bump for later reading

Well, I lived just outside of Kaiserslautern, Germany for four years. I knew some "Steins" there. Very German catholics. It means rock. Not every German name is Jewish.

I don't remember just where Kaiserslautern is, but I lived dadrueben a good long while, and I remember seeing names in the Munich telephone book that were of Catholics, which belonged only to Jews (or the intermarried descendants of Jews) in the States. But I've never known a Stein on this side of the Atlantic, who wasn't a Jew. And just look at the guy -- he looks like a friggin' rabbi! He looks more Jewish than I do!

Dollars to donuts, either Steyn's father is a Jew who married a gentile (as I have done), making their offspring gentile, he converted, or his forebears did.

Steyn is on a roll, a lot of good articles lately.

I was just about to post the same sentiment. For the last year or so, he's been the columnist equivalent of Teddy Ballgame in '41.

[knighthawk]

The world needs more people like him.

P.S. I meant to add, I'll give you three guesses, why cetain names are exclusively Christian in Germany, but overwhelmingly Jewish in America.

A Nazi Jew? The Adam Shapiro Story

He's a self-hating Jew and a self-hating American. And the ideal of every raving leftist and a heck of a lot of dumb liberals...

When your terrorists buddies started the warS with Israel, Israel had every damn right to "occupy" anything they wanted AND KEEP IT.

The situation is far more complex than you state here--and probably more complicated than you can understand. It sounds like you don't do too much thinking; it would probably get in the way of your emoting.

Why Israel hasn't nuked those stinking stand turds all the way to that moon god they worship is amazing.

Case in point. They haven't, because you don't do that. I don't expect YOU to understand that, but we've already established your simplistic brand of thinking.

However, though you may never be able to comprehend it, console yourself with the thought that they don't "nuke" innocent people for very good reasons. We'll just leave it at that.

Keep on bawling about your beloved terrorists, however, Israel will use whatever means is necessary at it's disposal to survive. That you are incapable of understanding that doesn't surprise me. That you don't like to hear the Arabs started the warS with Israel and Israel did what was necessary to defend itself does not make it less true. Try educating yourself instead of mindlessly parroting the liberal party line.

However, though you may never be able to comprehend it, console yourself with the thought that they don't "nuke" innocent people for very good reasons. We'll just leave it at that.

Unfortunately you aren't able to comprehend that one doesn't blow up (homicide bombings) innocent people either. Fortunately, Israel did not simply "leave it at that".
