Posted in: Alice Walker's Yom Kippur sermon
09/24/09 11:08 AM
To Michael Lerner, Alice Walker, David - what are you smoking? - it may be just the thing to help me be oblivious to the next 3.25 years of that other friend of Israel, Obama! :) Real insightful Alice Walker - the answer to the Palestinian-Israel struggle is "one state"? Just what the world needs - another Lebanon. You think your solution will bring peace to the world? I guess in your travels you never came across the scorpion and the frog. As for who-hit-who-1st - Thomas Roberts said it all. Good job Tom!
Posted in: Op-Ed: GOP must repudiate Limbaugh or be defined by him

At the end of the day, Limbaugh is an entertainer. Meanwhile elected Democrats demonize U.S. citizens with impunity - Pelosi calls citizens who don't like her bills "nazis"; Obama calls cops who arrest his friend for disorderly conduct "stupid"; elected Democrats have honed to a fine art their practice of avoiding debating issues with their political opponents and instead demonize Republicans as threats to Social Security - as racists - as "fat cats" who hate the little guy - and then these same demonizing-Dems are utterly shocked when the elderly spot them as being wolves under sheep's clothing and attack the Dems' health care porposals. Mr. Rosensaft protestith too much.
Posted in: Netanyahu's proposed ban on NGO funding raises questions for U.S. groups

Perhaps Netanyahu is still smarting from the money that poured in from Bill Clinton's cohorts in the US in the late 1990'2 that enabled Barak to defeat Bibi for reelection so Clinton could deal with a left of center government. Perhaps the Israeli public is smarting from the results of the dynamic duo - Clinton and Barak - giving Arafat the best deal the P.A. ever got and in return Israel's citizens suffered Intifada II - proportionally equivalent to 6+ 911's in the US. Transparency is the answer - well understood by Foxman - but not by the anonymous dissenter from Bibi's proposal to ban or at least identify outside money as such.
Posted in: Mitchell is optimistic, the El(l)iot(t)s are not

Before making moral equivalents re E Abrams comments about the parade of Obama officals trooping to Israel, perhaps "Capital J" writer Ron Kampeas might explain how Obama sending in the same week 2 cabinet level officals + 2 White House Middle East Czars is any where equivalent to any trip that Asst Secy Elliot Abrams or other Bush sub-cabinet officials ever made to Israel.
Posted in: U.S. vigils remember slain gay Israelis

While the article does not identify the gunman's level of religiousity, the author and R Herzfeld seem to leave no dougt that Israel's orthodox community is responsible for this crime. Is it too much to expect that we not submit our own to profiling of the kind that we hate when applied to others?
