Barak must still be listening to Carville. What a toon!

"We have lost our moral superiority in the last few months," Barak told the German weekly magazine Stern in an interview released ahead of publication on Thursday...

Stern via AFP? Thanks but the sources are too dicey for me to believe. I'm willing to bet he was misquoted. Barak has been all over the news defending Israeli's actions this week.

[white trash redneck]

Too bad that Israeli Labor politicians are so similar to our DemocRATs.

A nation, like a person, can be "DEAD" right.

It is not necessary to allow another people or nation to slaughter and destroy you to remain on the "moral high ground".

It is completely moral to defend yourself and protect your life and those of your citizens ... and that is exactly what Israel is finally doing.

[LarryLied]

Why do you post this antisemitic stuff? Barak is a notorious antisemite.

[eureka!]

How Clintonian. Ex-Head of State bashing own country during time of war and crisis....

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

In my book, when one gives aid and comfort to the enemy, that is called

TREASON

Israel has lost "moral superiority": Barak

-------------------------

Yuh, Barak, but the Israelis are surviving unlike they would with you and your friends Carville and Clinton.

"Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak warned in an interview released Wednesday that Israel has lost its "moral superiority" during the escalating conflict with the Palestinians."

What an blathering idiot Barak is. A true to form Clinton creation demonstrating to the world why he is unfit to be even elected dog catcher. Try explaining the nobility of having "moral superiority" to the families that have lost a loved one to the savage Arab (not "Palistinian") mass murderers that are now waging a war of attrition against Israel.

Barak must have attended a Bill Clinton seminar on how to be a pathetic ex-President. Is Barak saying it is immoral to protect innocent Israeli civilians? What a goof.

[lady lawyer]

I'm with the poster who doesn't believe AFP's version of Barak's remarks. I saw him on TV Monday defending Israel's actions and saying that his unprecedented peace offer to Arafat was only to call Arafat's bluff and reveal to the whole world what Arafat was -- someone who didn't want peace. I was stunned, because Barak's own words were so different that the picture the Western press paints of him.

[luvzhottea]

Mr Barak you cannot lose what you never had to begin with.

[Alberta's Child]

The posts on these threads about the Arab-Israeli conflict seem to be getting more absurd by the day. Yesterday, Adam Shapiro was repeatedly called a "traitor" even though he is not an Israeli and therefore has no inherent "allegiance" to either side in the dispute. Today, we've got lots of Americans claiming that they have a better grip on the dispute than the former prime minister of Israel.

[Irene Adler]

Barak is being about a useful to the Israelis as Clinton, Reno, Allbright, etc. are being over here.

[Jonathon Spectre]

Who, said what? The Israeli Bill Clinton?

[goldstategop]

Ehud "Slobodan" Barak is one to talk about morality while Jews are dying around him. Let's see: his principal accomplishments as Prime Minister were to hand over Southern Lebanon to the Hezbollah, his weakness gave Israel's Arabs reason to run riot in October 2000, and of course as a result of his conceding everything to Arafat short of Tel Aviv at Camp David the same year, he triggered the current war that has cost thousands of lives. Barak is worried Israel's moral stature is tarnished? He really needs to talk to the families who've lost their loved ones as a result of his fanatical devotion to the Oslo Cult. And he was crushed in a landslide a year ago by Israelis upset with his appeasement policies. No dear Barak, Israel needs to crush the PLO and permanently get rid of Arafat. It is the only way Israel will really begin to have peace.

[FITZ]

Peace talks between Barak and Arafat in the summer of 2000 sponsored by then US President Bill Clinton at Camp David failed to produce an agreement.

What disasters the policies of Barak and Clinton were.

[My2Cents]

Next time Barak is quoted, please flag with a "MORON ALERT".

[steenkeenbadges]

This from the schmuck that was willing to give most of Israel to the paleostinians?
