I am almost 50. For as long as I can remember, Israel has been in the fight of her life. The occupation of Palestinian land came as a result of an unprovoked attack on Israel by the Arab world. The Arabs lost.
As long As I have been aware of the name 'arafat', it has been associated with terrorism. Another elephant in the living room no one is talking about is the Israeli Olympic Wrestling Team.
More elephants are coming. I have heard very few in the media (Keyes, Cavuto) challenge (read: challenged not limp wristed humming & hawing) the assertions that Israel is guilty of having running concentration camps and equating them with Nazi's.
Who are we to question Israel's right to defend herself? We have no right to do so. Tell me (not you, but the Israel bashers) what would you do if you heard that families in this country were collecting the big bucks to martyr a child? What happens when the question "Would you like fries with your burger?" is answered by blowing your son or daughter into a million peices while sitting in the local McDonald's?
Peter Jenning's babe today said something to Cavuto about the Palestinians doing unto others what has been done to them. Yeah, right. Try as I might, I cannot think of one instance of Israel sending in a child to do what Arafat is too chicken sh!t scared to do---fight his battles.
Is there anybody that can challenge Bush on the Republican ticket in the next election, without selling out their morals less than a year or two down the road???
