Excellent post.

Excellent article, as usual, from David Horowitz. I was distressed that my alma mater (UC Davis) allowed a "teach-in" of Palestinian students on the Middle East situation yesterday. This kind of article blows away the fog of lies Arabs have created to conceal their hatred of Jews.

Great article.

The seed of the Palestinians' genocidal mania is rooted in Islam

At last some one will spell it out!

Great article. The most hypocritical in this whole charade is Jordan. Horowitz is right on. If land is what they want, why don't they go after Jordan?

The clash of civilizations is upon us. That's if you can call the Arab and Islamic world 'civilized.'

I've read reams of articles on the situation in the Middle East. I was not looking for yet another discussion of the same subject. But Horowitz is such a clear thinker and good writer that his take on the subject was worth a look-see. Simple, clear, to the point, and honest. Exactly what I have come to expect from Horowitz's work.

This article presents an interesting way of looking at the Palestinians. I never thought of the Palestinians as puppets of Islamic fundamentalism - I thought that they were the leaders of it. They exist as an excuse to kill Jews. They are cannon fodder. Without the Palestinians, Islamic expansion would be exposed for what it really is - religious conversion by force; with the Palestinians there is "global pity for an oppressed race".

This doesn't improve my opinion of then, nor does it make me pity them. They are sheep. Real evil sheep. But it does show how protesting against "Israeli aggression" while protesting for Palestinian rights are contradictory. If the pro-terror crowd wants Palestinian rights, they should be protesting against Jordanian aggression.

Ping for a great read.

Let's just say that the Israelis are forced to leave their country and Palestine is set up. That state would soon become an enormous liability for Cairo, Damascus, and Amman, Riyadh, and Bagdad. They would have to destroy it before it destroyed them. For the next step in the dream, is to settle old scores in a big way. The land is cursed.

bump for later read ...

Horowitz...thank God he is on our side.

[babyface00]

Wouldn't it be interesting to have someone who disagrees with Horowitz's analysis address his argument point by point, logically, and with concise, rational thought?

Unfortunately, I suspect any contrary responses will consist of slander, innuendo, and incoherent rambling.

...this is our destiny….this is the path I have chosen.

Arafag announces to his people what they will think. What's that word Narccicism? Narcoticism? Noonelivesism! That's it.

You said......They are cannon fodder. Without the Palestinians, Islamic expansion would be exposed for what it really is - religious conversion by force; with the Palestinians there is "global pity for an oppressed race"

David Horowitz is a tremendous asset to the conservative movement. He has the guts to take on issues we speak only amongst ourselves about, openly. He takes the war to the enemy, i.e., the reparations movement, and doesn't wait for them to come to us. As he said in his book "The Art of Political War and Other Radical Pursuits," victory in politics goes to the aggressor.

There's a lot to learn from this man. And I study him very, very carefully. I urge other conservatives to do the same.
