Israel: A Lamb Among Wolves
by Burt PrelutskyWhen I was very young, people were accustomed to saying that the only two certainties were death and taxes. Over the years, there’s a third item that could be added to the list: Every American president will try and fail to bring peace to the Middle East. Obama is merely the latest to put it at the top of his to-do list. My guess is that four or eight years down the road, long after he has managed to cure the leper and raise the dead, it will still be at the top of his list.
I hate to be a pessimist, but I see no reason not to be. While the folks in Gaza didn’t have two great choices during their last election, much like the electorate here in the U.S., they opted for the greater of two evils, much like the electorate here in the U.S.. They voted for Hamas, a terrorist group sworn to wipe Israel off the map — the actual map, that is, not merely the fantasy maps they use in their schoolbooks.
It confounds me when people in America and non-Muslims in Europe attempt to find a moral equivalency between Israel and her enemies. For one thing, they invariably find Israel culpable. Israel may not always be right, but that’s far better than always being wrong. I mean, how does anyone living in a civilized nation dare argue on behalf of people who treat their women as chattel and who treat Christians and Jews even worse?
The same bigots who condemn Israel for killing Arab children when they respond to countless missile attacks never seem to condemn the Arabs for either firing those missiles or for using women and children as shields when Israel finally retaliates.
Israel has had nuclear weapons for a good number of years, but has never once used them. Is there anyone anywhere who honestly believes that if Israel’s enemies had nuclear capability, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem would be anything but moonscapes by this time?
Those who claim to find a moral equivalency between the two sides in the Middle East are those who, themselves, have no sense of morality. Decades ago, Abba Eban observed that Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. He was of course referring to their failure to seek a peaceful resolution. But it isn’t peace the Palestinians want. Neither is it statehood. Even Clinton, who had Yasser Arafat sleeping in Lincoln’s bedroom far more often than Lincoln ever had, got the Israelis to offer up 97% of what Arafat was demanding. The way Arafat stormed off, you would have thought the Israelis had asked to have sex on a first date.
People who believe that Israel was wrested from the Arabs by the U.N. in 1948 are simply ignorant of the facts. Zionists had been buying up desert property at wildly inflated prices for several decades by then. All that happened in 1948 was that the U.N. recognized Israel as a sovereign state. Although the Arabs were invited to remain where they were, they were told by Egypt, Lebanon, Transjordan, Syria and Iraq, to leave so that the invading forces wouldn’t have to worry about collateral damage when they eradicated the Jews. The departing Arabs were assured that they’d soon be free to return and share in the spoils. At the time of the invasion, Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League, left no room for doubt when he declared: “This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.” That was 61 years ago and the grandkids and great-grandkids of those who fled and wound up in Gaza are still waiting for that Great Come and Get It Day.
Recently, Pat Buchanan, sounding, as usual, an awful lot like Jimmy Carter, wrote a piece advising Israel to surrender still more land for peace. Well, why not? It’s always worked so well in the past. Whenever I read Buchanan on the Middle East conflict, I find myself wondering if his solution to the problem of illegal immigration in America would be to hand Texas, Arizona and California, over to Mexico.
Perhaps next time, just as a change of pace, Mr. Buchanan might consider giving the Arabs the benefit of his wisdom. Perhaps something along the lines of “In case you haven’t noticed, it’s 2009, not 1009. Stop behaving like bloody savages!”

This is an insultingly stupid editorial, devoid of any rational thought, and severely lacking in information.
The work of an ignorant ideologue and his malformed opinions on subjects of which he is not well informed.
Go arrange to have yourself buried, because you’ve flat-lined morally speaking.
Fascists make me sick.
Anonymous covered his (or her) own posting pretty well.
I agree Fascists make me sick too – especially ignorant ones who hide behind anonymity. (Though those brown-shirts can hide a lot of things, and a lot of liberals like color-coordinating things…)
Jack, you’re right up to a point. There won’t be peace even IF Israel ceased to exist. Do you think the surrounding arab countries want HAMAS in charge of the most valuable real estate in the area? Jordan would start a war in a heartbeat. If you don’t believe me, look at how well the palistinian refugees are cared for in their ‘host’ countries. Israel treats them better.
Thank you thank you thank you Mr.Prelusky for highlighting the TRUTH about Israel’s re-birth in 1948. Especially since the revisionist’s, though that’s too nice a word to use, to describe the arab media’s outright lies and propaganda regarding the Israel’s history and re-birth, not to mention current flood of insanity calling her the aggressor every time she responds to terror. Though this truth seems to be lost on today’s so called thinkers and leaders, Israel
will survive in spite of all of her enemies. Her G-d has spoken.(ie Psalm 83, Genesis 13:15, Psalm 105 and 89
Notice how the person who anonymously posted at 10:23 am was unable to point out a single factual inaccuracy in the article. That’s a typical response by the anti-Israel crowd when confronted with an actual history lesson. They want everyone else to be as ignorant as they are.
I still don’t understand why so many liberal Jews in Hollywood hate Israel so much. Or the fact that you have groups like Queers for Palestine when Hamas executes homosexuals. Or how Communist groups like ANSWER support a theocratic regime like Hamas, and even Iran.
I mean, these types of contradictions aren’t even hidden or subtle. They’re blatant, obvious contradictions. How is it that someone can be so sold-out to a philosophical ideal (liberalism) that they miss reality, even when it slams them in the face with two planes?
This kind of self-delusion–even going so far as Soderbergh admitting that he’s the kind of guy that Che would have killed–is difficult to explain outside of, say, demonic activity and/or intense human depravity.

Mr. Prelutsky, Pat Buchanan is a lot like Ron Paul when it comes to the Middle East; it’s always best to ignore them concerning the topic. As for the illegal immigration problem, neither man would advocate giving up any of America to Mexico. Both men care too much about America to even consider such a thing.
Sir – ah…just a point of interest…there is another state between Texas and Arizona that years ago its govenor referred to as a “Bannana Republic” – New Mexico.
Prelustsky makes a complex issue very simple. I do not think the lamb and wolf analogy accurately describes the situation.
Those lambs have constricted palestinian commerce for a decade, strike with the most advanced weaponry that the American tax payer can provide, use white phosphorous in civilian areas and make every effort to deny access to the media. On the other hand, many Palestinian kids aspire for military success rather than economic success.
I would consider Isreael to be a dragon among wolves.
I wish we had given Israel the state of New Mexico or just some barren land after WW2. We would have a prosperous neighbor and the middle east would have no one but themselves to blame for their lot in life.
Actually, they’d still blame the Jews.
Good Lord, this article is going to make Terry’s head explode.
I always wonder why anti-semites are *always* on the wrong side of history. Yet that doesn’t stop them. It seems to be the default position of lunacy.
Israel’s very existance is about wiping Palestine off the map! Look up the video “Burning Conscience.” You guys could pull off this propaganda for Israel when you had a stranglehold on the media, but not now!
Hey Burt, ever hear of the massacre of the entire inhabitants – men, women and children – of the Palestinian village of Dier Yassen by Menachim Began’s Zionist terrorist gang? This massacre was used as a threat to scare other Palestinians into leaving their homeland – and it worked. That’s spelled D-i-e-r Y-a-s-s-e-n. Got it?
Burt Prelutsky –
Should the US suffer one bit for Israel? No. If your answer is “yes” then you are a traitor and I suggest you move to Israel where you would be happier. They don’t deserve one cent from the US – they are a nation built from terrorism.
Doug – and what was the attack on Dier Yassen a RESPONSE to? Context is your enemy.
excellent article. you hit it right on the head. this is a must readpersonally I believe the only soloution to this problem is to goahead and give them their damn jihad in spades!
As far as I’m concerned, there is no reason for Israel to ever compromise with the Arabs again. The Arabs have proven time and time again that they have absolutely no interest in coexisting with the Jews. They will take and take, and keep taking until the Jews are pushed into the sea.
The Israelis are fighting a defensive war, and we have two choices: we can support them or we can leave them to die.
the “lamb” killed over 400 children.
the “lamb” treats gaza like a concentration camp.
the “lamb” uses 21st century air strikes in one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
this operation was akin to the us air force bombing ruby ridge.
Pat Buchanan along with the rest of the RINO’s lurking greedily in the halls of the GOP ought to be ashamed of their attitude towards Israel, biased being the least offensive word to use. They, together with the DNC leadership, would gladly toss out Israel to the pack of wolves if they could. Whether from merely amazing short sightedness or from outright religiously bigoted beliefs, the result is the same as the intent. What better than to remind ourselves the Pope was a member of the Hitler Youth.
I dunno, Barry might be able to pull it off. After all, he’s coming from a different position. His version of ‘peace’ with Israel is bound to be pretty much the same as that of the people who endorsed him….now what was that about pushing something into the sea….?
Revhatchell:
“the “lamb” killed over 400 children.”
Well, imagine that, accidents DO happen. And how many children do you think Palestinian Islamists TARGETED intentionally and killed.
“the “lamb” treats gaza like a concentration camp.”
Obviously, you know NOTHING about what a concentration camp is. The fact is that- unlike the camps of the Reich- the closest parallel WOULD HAVE BEEN the British camps in South Africa (NOT the same thing!), and even THAT is unfit, as Gaza would be the only camp with a BOOMING population. IF anything, the PLO is the one treating Gaza like a Concentration Camp, keeping their own people in squalor and forbidding their immigration.
“the “lamb” uses 21st century air strikes in one of the most densely populated areas in the world.”
Gee, how is that different from what Britain, France, Italy, Japan, the US, and (gasp) GERMANY all did? And pray tell me, oh grand strategist, do you have any BETTER idea to deal with terrorists using human shields?
“this operation was akin to the us air force bombing ruby ridge.”
If Ruby Ridge was taken over by a serial-killing cult that vowed to “make the world howl” from the bloodshed they unleashed.
Anything else?
Great article, never read anything of yours before. Bush cursed this nation when he gave away Jewish land for war (oh yeah, they said it was for peace, but I note the results, not the propaganda), so did Clinton, now Obama is giving away 20 million dollars to the terrorists that will be used to rearm them after Israel took away their missles. Here we go again. We’ll never have peace in the middle east as long as a single “palestian” (really they are jordanian) resides in Jewish land.
My decision was made when I came to the conclusion that there is only one simple fact that matters, and it’s this: If the Arabs stopped trying to wipe out Israel, the Israelis would leave them alone. The Israelis seem to have no interest in world domination, or making Judaism the world religion, or even expanding their territory. They just want to live.
Muslims, however….
What confounds you about this? Imagine China coming to the US and creating Chinese-only colonies within our borders. That is what happened with the formation of Israel 50 years ago and continues to happen with their ILLEGAL settlements (breaking their own laws – not that Israel has ever respected any law in their history.)
Isreal was created by terrorism. That is fact and it is recongnized worldwide except in the US where we allow Israel to run our media.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaucll8-uPY
Plenty of video also available about how Christians are mistreated in Israel. You have been spoon fed a big lie about Israel by the media.
ISRAEL broke the cease fire just as they started the war in ‘67.
CNN: Israel broke ceasefire – youtube.com/watch?v=KntmpoRXFX4
Pakistan has had nuclear weapons for some time now.
Israel murdered 34 Americans and injured others on their deliberate attack on the USS Liberty…then lied about it once saying they didn’t do it and maintain a SECOND lie that it was a mistake when they couldn’t maintain the first lie but NSA intercepts prove Israeli pilots knew it was an American ship.
The Israelis have always opposed the Palestinian state. They never offered anything honestly. They offered discontinuous land without access to water and controlled by Israeli checkpoints! Riiiiiight. Why are there illegal settlements in the West Bank if they were sincere with this offer?
When will the US support a Whites-only homeland…let’s say in Africa? US tax payers can support the ethnic cleansing of those there in order to create it. What? Can’t stand the analogy? Well, it fits.

“Frankly, however, I think Israel will soon be alone. I base these conclusions on the following: Obama signaling early on that his sympathies lie with Muslims”
What? His first appointment was a Zionist kook whose father was an IRGUN TERRORIST!

So, if the fact were the reverse, you would reverse your decision? I will hold you to that!!!!!
Who have the Palestinians invaded? They have had their land stolen!
How many Palestinians are controlling our media? They pick a guy working at the WSJ at random – Daniel Pearl – and he turns out to be an Israeli citizen! So, how many other sleeper agents like that exist? Former Mossad agent Ostrovsky admitted they control our news.
Follow the money. We give tons of money to Israel – a tiny, rich country! Why?
How many members of Congress have ties to Israel? How many take money from AIPAC?
They already control the world via the US.
I’m sorry, which side uses women and children as human shields?
One of you “history buffs” wanna get back to me on that?
And by get back to me I mean actually answer the question.
And please, show your work.
Gary Eaton – January 30th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
“I’m sorry, which side uses women and children as human shields?”
Murdering civilians indiscriminately using the military (a war crime) can not be “spun” into hiding behind children. Packing people into ghettos doesn’t mean they can kill them and claim to be shooting at someone who has a gun. Israel engages in ethnic cleansing. This is done with US tax dollars and makes the US targets themselves. The US gets nothing out of this deal. I say we demand all the money back we have given these terrorists over the years.
BTW, it is clear Israel is the aggressor and the one wiping Palestine off the map. A picture paints a thousand words….
http://www.americancitizenstogether.org/ACT/Pictures/Palestine_Shrinking.jpg
Hmm, after having read several comments since I first posited my question about leftists who hate Israel in such obviously irrational manners, I guess I have an answer. There is nothing quite so astonishing as a leftist kook. It is impossible for logic to penetrate their mind. Everything is a conspiracy, so all counter-factuals prove THEY are out to get you.
And yet despite this amazing and uber-powerful Zionist conspiracy, the kooks can still post comments at will with no fear of reprisal at all! None of them gets assassinated by a sleeper Mossad agent. In fact, the kooks can line up outside Israeli embassays and burn Israeli flags and throw rocks at Jews everywhere, and still these sleeper Mossad agents don’t react.
The only conclusion must be that sleeper Mossad cells are freaking pathetic and weak.
Cuz obviously the kooks can’t possibly be making this crap up. No sir, that would be part of the conspiracy.
Actually, I suppose the secret can come out now. Andrew Breitbart is a Mossad agent who runs all the media, including Al Jazeera. He set up this website and hired Burt Prelutsky (real name: Daniel Pearl) to spin lies about Israel to provoke the kooks into commenting. Little do the kooks know that their IP addresses are being stored by the Mossad. Soon, agents of the Mossad will be stopping by each of these kook’s mother’s homes to deal with the problem using 21 century technology, something kooks are fairly unfamiliar with since it would require them to leave their mother’s basement.
Hey, Joe P.
I’ve been to Israel. I’ve been to the Palestinian territories.
And three guesses which people threw rocks at me and yelled “itbach al-yahud”….
My tolerance for Palestinian BS is at an all time low at this point….
Well, I was a bit concerned that we were not getting enough juicy responses from the Terry Club, but it appears that my fears were unfounded, seeing as how they are now pouring in.
Let’s start with Alex:
“What confounds you about this? Imagine China coming to the US and creating Chinese-only colonies within our borders.”
I believe that Terry already TRIED that particular piece of tripe, and I pointed out that the situation is NOT comparable.
Let me explain: The United States is a soveriegn, Democratic country with no real territorial disputes save some Mexican irredentism. China does not have a millenia-long history or tie to California any more then they do to Berlin or Venice. In addition, the few places where they could colonize (Alaska or the West Coast) have long been recognized as being part of the US and we have very little ethnic discontent.
Given these points, a Chinese invasion and the formation of Israel are not terribly comparable or parallel, contrary to your wishes.
“That is what happened with the formation of Israel 50 years ago”
No, you simpering illiterate, that is NOT what happened. If you actually STUDIED the god-damn history of the Mandate of Palestine, you will notice that Jews actually ACCEPTED the partition (except for the radical Arsehats such as the marginalized Irgun), it was the Arab Nationalists who did NOT. And most were NOT Palestinians! They were Egyptian and Syrian! These “gentlemen”, taking a leaf from the proto-Islamist Hajj Amin Al-Husayni, the infamous Mufti of Jerusalem, they advocated the ethnic cleansing of all non-Arabs from Palestine, where they had been in the majority almost continuously for over two millennia! If anything, it is THIS reaction by the Arab League that is akin to the Chinese invasion, NOT the Israeli one.
But who cares about facts, right?
“and continues to happen with their ILLEGAL settlements (breaking their own laws – not that Israel has ever respected any law in their history.)”
Ah, yes, the Zionist settlers. I have actually had the “pleasure” of dealing with some of them. And, while I am sure there are a few decent ones around somewhere, I have to admit most of the ones I DID deal with were… shady, to say the least. That being said, it is ironic you claim Israel does not obey any laws because the force that has done more then anything to cut down on the abuses and shady dealing of the Israeli settlements… has been the Israeli government, as you can see from their reactions against settlers who have broken the pathetic and unenforced ceasefires and committed other crimes.
Sorry to ruin your diatribe.
“Isreal was created by terrorism.”
Maybe in part (even I must realize that the slimey actions of groups like the Pro-Nazi Stern Gang and Irgun probably did MUCH to cause the creation of Israel), but not in whole, as can be seen from the post WWI Balfour Declaration.
“That is fact and it is recongnized worldwide except in the US where we allow Israel to run our media.”
Um, as you are evidence of, it is recognized for what it is worth here as well. We just don’t award it anything more then it is worth. Oh yes, and the Zionists in the Media claim. How have they been doing in trying to squelch negative news coverage of Israel? Obviously pretty damn badly, as the statistics have shown.
“Plenty of video also available about how Christians are mistreated in Israel.”
Ah yes, using Youtube as a serious academic source.
Not a good idea, as a few clicks can bring me a trillion things proclaiming “OJ IS INNOCENT”, “POOR HITLER WAS MISUNDERSTOOD!” “CHALLENGER EXPLOSION A CONSPIRACY” Etc. etc. etc.
That being said, you do have a point in regards to the Anti-Proselytizing laws, which are to justly be condemned. However, you also fail to notice that we still had slavery, legalized descrimination, monetary requirements to vote, and several other “issues” when we were sixty- one years old as a sovereign state. Can we REALLY expect Israel to have solved all their problems by now when some of the brightest minds in history couldn’t over here?
And I love the lack of mentioning of persecution against Christians by the PLO. Slipped your mind?
“You have been spoon fed a big lie about Israel by the media.”
Oh really? Any proof? As in, any ACADEMIC proof outside of Youtube?
“ISRAEL broke the cease fire”
Um, even HAMAS admits they broke the last ceasefire, and it is also obvious they never paid any heed to it in the first place, as the poor souls in Sderot can attest to.
“just as they started the war in ‘67.”
So, a pre-emptive strike against avowed enemies massing on your borders sprouting genocidal rhetoric is “aggression?”
Even if that were so, it is not the case. War legally broke out when Egypt (in violation of her agreements and treaties) blockaded the Straits of Tiran and the Suez Canal.
So, maybe you mean Israel “broke the ceasefire” in the same way they “started the war in ‘67″ to mean that they really did neither?
Sorry, but I don’t give you that much credit.
Nice try.
“CNN: Israel broke ceasefire – youtube.com/watch?v=KntmpoRXFX4″
Ah, CNN, an American news network. Is this part of how Israel controls our news networks?
Oh yes, and it has been debunked.
“Pakistan has had nuclear weapons for some time now.”
Yes, and THEY haven’t actually threatened to use them to frequently to bring about their cult’s hidden Imam now have they?
And how is this relevant to Israel? Do you even CARE?
“Israel murdered 34 Americans and injured others on their deliberate attack on the USS Liberty”
I already debunked this tripe by pointing out that we NEVER told them the USS Liberty was there like we agreed to, that they were hunting Egyptian shipping, and that the Arab League has a habit of falsely-flagging their ships and altering hulls to distort size. And one of those ships was seen in the vicinity the USS Liberty was in.
Under those circumstances, WE could have mistaken the USS Liberty for a hostile ship. But you don’t mention that, do you?
“then lied about it once saying they didn’t do it”
Debunked, because it was the damned IDF that TOLD US they had made a boo-boo regarding the USS Liberty in the FIRST PLACE. Hardly consistent with your fantasy, now is that?
“and maintain a SECOND lie that it was a mistake when they couldn’t maintain the first lie”
As I mentioned before, that is neither a lie nor a “second” lie. But facts do not matter to you.
“but NSA intercepts prove Israeli pilots knew it was an American ship.”
Proof? Anything? No? In that case, shove off.
“The Israelis have always opposed the Palestinian state.”
Well, when its founding fathers openly attempted to massacre YOUR founding fathers, when hostile states have used it as a pistol aimed at you after BREAKING the initial, Churchillian partition of Palestine (as JORDAN is the Palestinian state), and then have them resort to terrorist acts against civilians, forgive me if I can understand them.
“They never offered anything honestly.”
Proof?
“They offered discontinuous land without access to water and controlled by Israeli checkpoints!”
You have never really SEEN the Oslo compromise OR the others, right? I thought not. Here’s a hint, Youtube does NOT equal research!
“Why are there illegal settlements in the West Bank if they were sincere with this offer?”
Um, because the settlers are arsehats who fight with the government just as much as they do against the Palestinians?
“When will the US support a Whites-only homeland”
Um, hopefully never, given that racial discrimination is something that deserves only to be dispatched.
“let’s say in Africa?”
A more comparative “choice” would be in Europe or the Caucasus. But of course we know you are not serious, but are just making an arse of yourself.
“US tax payers can support the ethnic cleansing of those there in order to create it.”
So, to eek out a comparative growth to Israel for this “all-white” state, we will fund a massive population boom amongst the natives and then grant them equal citizenship in this “all-white” state?
“What? Can’t stand the analogy? Well, it fits.”
Obviously, you have never studied history.
“What? His first appointment was a Zionist kook whose father was an IRGUN TERRORIST!”
1. No. He did so by his rhetoric and by his recent acts om regards to the ceasefire.
2. “whose father was an IRGUN TERRORIST!”
Cute. I believe we got rid of the whole “sins of the father” thing from Western law about two centuries ago if not more. And, if we are going to condemn him for his parentage in spite of any positions or ideals he might have, let us first round up the that one Catholic Priest (who, btw, was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize) who thinks his father was Heinrich Himmler. Well, roughly as justified, do you agree?
“So, if the fact were the reverse, you would reverse your decision?”
Yes, I would. It is the only honorable thing to do.
“I will hold you to that!!!!!”
Thank you.
“Who have the Palestinians invaded?”
The “Palestinians”, or more acutely their leadership, attempted to invade Lebanon twice, first where they and their Pro-Syrian supporters were defeated in “Operation Blue Bat”, and another- more famous- time in 1982, which is something that I would expect a Youtube historian as distinguished as yourself to know about.
They also attempted to wage violent Jihad in 1936 against the British, the Jews, and their fellow Palestinian Arabs who did not exactly sign up for the whole “ethnic cleansing” thing, and who thus had to be disposed of.
They also re-invaded in 1948 alongside several Arab League forces with the object of the complete destruction of the Palestinian Jews.
Somehow, though, I don’t think those were the answers you were looking for…
“They have had their land stolen!”
In some cases, yes (I have already mentioned my extreme distrust of the settlers), but the fact is that many of them actually were “Shanghied” from Damascus and Cairo in order to squat on and control the land purchased by the various Zionist groups in the 20’s and 30’s. And for them, my heart truly pains, as they were caught up in a fight not their own and victimized both by the unsavory Israeli nuts and their own backstabbing leaders.
However, that doesn’t mean that you are magically correct when you are not.
“How many Palestinians are controlling our media?”
Given the gulf between positive and negative coverage for Israel and the PLO, I would have to guess far more then the Israelis who are supposedly doing the same thing (and yet could not stop the CNN tape you so boldly parroted without any sense of the irony involved).
“They pick a guy working at the WSJ at random – Daniel Pearl – and he turns out to be an Israeli citizen!”
It is called dual citizenship. I notice how you kooks hang much on that, but it doesn’t mean a great deal, given the number of Mexican-American citizens, Swiss-Americans, etc.
“So, how many other sleeper agents like that exist?”
QUICK! ROUND UP ALL CANADIAN-AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS TRYING TO CONTROL US FOR THEIR MASTERS IN ONTARIO!
You SERIOUSLY don’t understand what a “sleeper agent” is, do you?
“Former Mossad agent Ostrovsky admitted they control our news.”
Nice. Did he bring any PROOF when he said this? Was this broadcast on American news? For some reason, I am guessing the answers will be no and yes, respectively.
“Follow the money. We give tons of money to Israel – a tiny, rich country! Why?”
Um, due to the fact that they were our “insurance” during the Cold War to keep the Levant and the Suez Canal from being completely lost to us, and due to the fact that they are fighting the exact same Islamist threats we are?
Oh yes, and while we are “following the money”, how about we look at the few billion dollars we have sunk into the PLO in aid money. Does THIS not ring any alarm bells, Alex?
“How many members of Congress have ties to Israel? How many take money from AIPAC?”
Don’t know. How many take money from pro-Palestinian and isolationist lobbies? Do those no longer count?
“They already control the world via the US.”
But yet they CAN’T KEEP CNN FROM GIVING THEM BAD PRESS!
Somehow, I doubt it.
Poor Alex. Youtube does not really a researcher make.
“almigty turdle”
where did israel get their land?
if all of the people of kansas were told to f off because a league of nations wanted to give kansas to a group of muslims that don’t have a country, but really want one, and the people of kansas were herded into a refugee camps and left there for 30 or so years, which party would be the lamb?
this is why sun sun tzu should be taught in public schools.
Peter Pike -
Finally the truth has been told about the great Andrew Breitbart and his epic hair. I knew Andrew would use his genius to lure his prey by using something an innocuous site that seemingly is about only about Hollywood conservatism. Likes moths to the flame…
Do you suppose what you just disclosed might help keep the trolls at bay? Probably not. But thanks for trying!
It is amazing to me, that there is so much confusion over who the terrorists are. Hamas is a terrorist organization that condones and facilitates suicide bombings and will kill every Jew on the planet if they have the chance.
Israel is an energetic democracy with a vibrant press. Israel is a free country that abides by the rule of law. By contrast, if a writer were to go to Gaza or Iran, for instance, and start writing bad words, he might wind up on the news, dead.
Israel allows Christians and Arab Muslims to worship freely, while Hamas wants to see us all at the bottom of the sea. Hamas, supported by Iran, is clear about their goals: they want to wipe out Israel completely, utterly, with finality. But it’s not just Israel that Hamas wants to kill; they want to kill all Jews everywhere. Complete genocide
Israel vs. Hamas; civilization vs. terror
Try to imagine any other country receiving randomly targeted rockets from a sworn enemy and refraining from violent response. Russia’s foreign minister has urged Israel to end its Gaza campaign because of “the suffering.” Can one imagine how long Russia would keep its bombers on the ground if Georgia fired rockets onto Russian soil? France, as the current head of the EU, deplored “disproportionate use of force.” Is France prepared to hold its fire if Belgium starts lobbing explosives across its border? Would Russia or France tolerate 5,500 missiles exploded on its soil?
Problem is Israel is never allowed to fight its wars to victory. The more land it concedes, the more the terrorists are emboldened & not just in Israel. “Victory first, then negotiate,” Winston Churchill.
How is one supposed to negotiate with people who want them eradicated? You are correct on a number of things Burt – I have been bemused by the number of US Presidents who think “they” can solve the middle east problems – going on 60 years now.
Equally perplexing is the current Israeli leadership who had Hamas on the ropes – then leaves.
Until the Palestinians truly want peace and are willing to coexist – there will be no peace.
In typical Orwellian fashion, the Zionists while about others not recognizing their phony UN creation as a “state” while they CONTINUE to refuse to recognize PALESTINE. What hypocrites. All their carping about everyone hating them makes one realize it isn’t the rest of the world that is wrong….it is THEM.
I am frankly surprised that so many people are openly hostile to Israel and so willing to take up for the Palestinians, who pretty much represent those values that we in America generally oppose. Just for the record, though, Israel did not exile Arabs in 1948. They were invited to stay where they were by the Israeli government, but elected to leave for the reason I stated in my article. On the other hand, every Arab nation took advantage of the situation to kick out its Jewish citizens and to confiscate their property. But I have found that facts don’t really matter to some people. They have their bigotry to keep them warm.

Mr. Cantor, what brutal ethnic cleansing are you talking about? Are you referring to the Palestinians who are ruled by Hamas? Are you referring to the Palestinian Christians who are persecuted by Hamas? Are you referring to the Palestinians who were used by Hamas as fodder against Israel?
The Israelis are NOT guilty of horrific anti-Semitism against the Palestinians, but it is those who want to see Israel wiped off the map who are guilty of horrific anti-Semitism, not just in the Middle East but throughout the world.
God’s chosen people simply want to live in peace in their homeland which they are entitled to. Doesn’t matter if it’s unfair to you; that’s the way it is. It’s Israel’s neighbors who are the real barbarians in the truest sense of the word, with no regards for human life, especially their own.
Mr. Cantor, you are a blind crony, and before you call other people repulsive bigots, I suggest you look in the mirror.
No, Alex, the Arabs sold land to the Israelis. Nothing was stolen. And no way can Islam predate Judaism in the birthplace of Judaism. The simple fact is that it’s cowboys and indians over there… and the Arabs are the cowboys. Israel is the last little reservation left for Jews in the land of their religion’s birth. And the cattle ranchers can’t stand it.
Israel wants people to recognize them but they don’t recognize a Palestinian state! They are STEALING land beyond the original theft of land by ILLEGAL settlements in the West Bank.
Israel was built on terrorism – look up the King David Hotel incident.
“Hey Morgan, you can not site the Bibile When it was written By jewish writers OF course G-d was whispering in their ears! I think if G-D created the universe He could of wrote His own BOOK!”
Hey, Corky, nice to meet another nut (you related to Terry?). When did I site the Bible? And why can I not site the Bible? Just because the 40 individuals who wrote it via Divine intervention were Jewish? How would you accept the Bible then, if it were written by Nazis?
By the way, can you tell me what else God could have done if He created the universe, being you sound like such an expert on the subject?
Trent, FYI. Israel became a nation about 1300 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
Jordan is the Paletinian state.
Corky,
You got it all wrong.
What if you shoot rockets into my house,I warned you to stop but you continue shooting rockets.You also kidnaped one of my kids.
Guess what? I am going to get you! Its calles self defense.
While I am looking for you, you are hiding behind children…..shooting at me from your church….
“Morgan give me your address and I will come there and throw you out of your house by force, put your family into a tent, starve you, then I will “extend by hand in peace” I will demand you not try to kill me for taking your money, house, and way of life. HOW ABOUT THAT? NITWIT!”
I got a better idea, how about YOU get some medication (or stop drinking caffeinated coffee), start doing some ACTUAL thinking, and ANSWER my questions.
If you cannot do any of these things, if all you can do is froth at the mouth and spew all kinds of ridiculous statements like a raving lunatic, then you, and everybody for that matter, will be better off if you would just put a CORK in your mouth, CORKY.
Just keep kicking their asses Israel, until they stop firing rockets.
James–Nice going. In 11 words, you summed it up for me. I can’t help noticing how many people have aligned themselves with the Arabs and against Israel in spite of the fact that Israel is an ally of ours; allows freedom of speech and religion; gives equal rights to women; not only doesn’t target civilians, but warns them when they are planning to take out ammunition targets–which, of course, Hamas has stored in apartment houses and hospitals. When Americans, in spite of all that, feel they must side with Israel’s enemies, it’s impossible not to assume such people are anti-Semites. (Yes, I understand that the Arabs are also Semites, but it was Hitler who used that particular term for Jews and it has been in play ever since. But if anti-Jews makes you anti-Semites feel better about yourselves, so be it.)
Sincerely, Burt Prelutsky
Only liberals can back folks who send bombers into school buses, shopping malls, and restaurants.
Yup, must be Israel’s fault.
Corky, Does Homeland Security have your current address?
Sure, Israel is a U.S. ally. Just look at the mountain of classified U.S. military secrets Jonathan Pollard stole from the U.S. Department of the Navy and handed over to Israel. Israel is looking out for Israel’s interests, and the U.S. had better look out for ours – which often conflict with those of Israel.
And Shannan, the context the Zionist massacre of all the enhabitants of the Palestinian village of Dier Yassan was the daytime slaughter of women, children and mainly old men while the younger Palestinian men were off at work. Many of the bodies of the children were dumped down wells as later found by non-Israel investigators.
As for the massacre of Dier Yassan being abscure, Lucius Vorenuis, it is about as obscure and barbaric as the Holocaust. Like the Holocaust, it cannot be forgotten and will forever stand in the annals of history as a crime against mankind.
Revhatchell (self-proclaimed uber genius):
“where did israel get their land?”
Some from Syria, some from Egypt, some from Transjordan, most of it from the Palestinian Mandate, whom all got THEIR land from the British (and, in the case of Syria, French), who got it from the Ottoman Turks, who got it from the Egyptian Khedieve of Muhammad Ali, who conquered it from the Turks, who got it from the Mamelukes, Who split off with it from Saladin’s state after he died, who conquered it from the Crusader states of the Levant, who conquered it from the Seljuk Empire, who got it from , who took it from Byzantium, who inherited it from the Romans, who conquered it from the Egyptians and the Jewish nationalists, who seized it from the Seleucids, who had taken it from Egypt earlier, which was previously taken by the Macedonian Empire of Alexander, who crushed the Persians to take it, who conquered the Egyptians to get it, who conquered it from the Jewish states of that region, who revolted at various times against Babylon, Assyria, the Seleucids, the Romans, and the Egyptians, and who (if we believe the Old Testament and the Talmud) wiped the Canaanites and Philistines out, and beyond that, the issue gets even more obscure.
But the short answer is that the ISRAELIS got it from the British mandate of Palestine during Partition, and have added to it with various morsels from the various states of the Arab League. Where the JEWS got it from, I have no idea, but I would have to guess from the Canaanites and the Philistines. And, since then, they have pretty much been the majority with very few exceptions throughout history.
And yes, I typed most of that up from memory.
“if all of the people of kansas were told to f off because a league of nations wanted to give kansas to a group of muslims that don’t have a country, but really want one, and the people of kansas were herded into a refugee camps and left there for 30 or so years, which party would be the lamb?”
In this case, it would depend. Are the exiled Kansans being egged on by rascist, Genocidal preachers who direct them to kill Muslim children in their schools and homes? Are the Muslims American Indians who have had a claim to the region for centuries before the Settlers drove them off?
I need more info then that.
