Posted in: Huckabee on evangelicals, Palestinian state
08/22/09 05:07 PM
Huckabee has it exactly right. The (largely) unspoken truth worth repeating is that American Jews, given the luxury of geographic remove and the degree of affluence attained by Jews in the United States, have, by and large, bought into every imaginable kind of illusion concerning our enemies and their intentions. Christian evangelicals, on the other hand, have a much more grounded/sane view of what it will take for Jewish sovereignty to perpetuate. In this condition, the notion that Christian evangelicals are Israel's best friends here is not only plausible, but also all but ineluctable. And don't anyone give me that nonsense impugning the motives of Christians who support the extension/perpetuation of a Jewish sovereign national existence for the fact that (a part of) this support springs from an eschatology which ought to be "alien" to Jews. When American Jewish liberals depart from the mentality whereof , say, abortion rights is more important than Israel, then these self-hating knaves might gain some standing in the contention as to whom (and what) is good for the Jews. Until then, these Jewish liberals should just shut up. And from the mere fact that 76-78% of us found a way to vote for a President who is, beyond peradventure, outright pro-Arab, hostile to the security interests of Israel and named "Hussein" to boot, this silence ought to last for a good long time.

I don't think that Gates can be accused of being an antisemite, only of throwing his weight around when his bigger than warranted ego got in a snare.
Posted in: Nixon: If only the Jews would behave....

I listened to these tapes (thanks to JTA for the link) - all twenty minutes, six seconds and I must say that there exists nothing in them which even remotely makes Nixon out as an anti-semite. The person calling the tune over the course of this recorded phone conversation - utzing, if you will - is the Reverend Graham who is playing to Nixon's insecurities and paranoia to the point of eliciting certain comments which look very bad as a matter of historical record (and may even be revealing as to certain deep seated prejudices which Nixon harbored). However, it pays to remember that when the chips were down, some nine or ten months later, Nixon put his foot down directly against the grain of the Pentagon and ordered a massive resupply of munitions to Israel in a manner which allowed her to turn the tide against our enemies. As for the description of the Reverend Graham as "an uneducated street tent preacher", I think that amounts to a pitch perfect description - except for leaving out, or eliding his dangerous talent for demagoguery. Thankfully, that latter element seems to have passed even before the right Reverend has met his physical demise..

I'm glad these statements are appearing at this time as counter to what will be the Obama Administration's attempt to wring unwarranted concessions from Israel in favor of the Palestineans. More such testimony needs to be taken in Knesset committees.
