Anyway I don't pretend to engage in foreign affairs in comboxes. Better, like, perhaps be consistent and criticize Glenn Beck's recent smears of Soros (pure Ad hominem... Beck grows more pathetic with each passing day--then he's a mormonic, so to be expected)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728235187998502824.post-49477107051585295062010-11-12T09:54:27.206-08:002010-11-12T09:54:27.206-08:00Okay, but we need to have some sense of priorities...Okay, but we need to have some sense of priorities and their order here -- once Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, and the like accept Israel's basic right simply to exist as a Jewish homeland, <i>then</i> is time to worry about Israeli "aggression".Metamorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199074976158603981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728235187998502824.post-36665082522586010102010-11-12T08:03:46.858-08:002010-11-12T08:03:46.858-08:00Your motives are suspect.

But that's only part of the story. (I read Chomsky at times as well--not always agreeing...but not calling him the infidel...)<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I don't disagree with all that Harper says--some jews are at risk, and...muslim extremism along with christian fundamentalism remains an issue. Harper overlooks the power of Israel itself however and aggression (against Hamas, for one) and cronyism, which is more difficult to pinpoint (and risky), but part of reality.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728235187998502824.post-90504239570870298152010-11-12T07:34:21.612-08:002010-11-12T07:34:21.612-08:00We can object to AIPAC power, or Lieberman-ish haw...<i>We can object to AIPAC power, or Lieberman-ish hawks, or even the founding of Israel without thereby approving of Hitler.</i><br /><br />You can, but your motives are suspect, and you'll need to make it clear that your objections are not a result of simple prejudice -- of the kind, for example, that was once so common a feature of genteel country clubs. I.e., not all anti-Semites are Nazis, but <i>all</i> are bigots.Metamorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199074976158603981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728235187998502824.post-31777217774508370682010-11-12T06:22:14.444-08:002010-11-12T06:22:14.444-08:00Maybe forward that to your heroes at Foxnews, like...Maybe forward that to your heroes at Foxnews, like fatboy Glenn Beck, who's been playing the anti-semitism card against Soros for months.<br /><br /><br />Anyway as usual you like most overly sensitive neo-cons mistake criticism of ...zionist cronyism for anti-semitism of the nazi sort. Not the case.
