> Charley Reese used to be a conservative when he wrote for the Orlando Sentinel. They fired him because of his support for Palestine. He sure has gone off the deep end.
Wow. What a huge crock of lies. Deep end is right. > What country in the Middle East occupies the lands of other people? Hmmm. All of them. None of them are home to the original inhabitants; that's true of most countries. > What country in the Middle East is in violation of more than 60 United Nations resolutions? What country is automatically outnumbered in UN votes by something like 25 to 1? > What country in the Middle East openly practices a policy of assassinating its political opponents? Hmmm. All of them! > What country in the Middle East routinely violates international law? Don't know or much care about that one. > What country in the Middle East possesses nuclear weapons, refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and refuses to allow international inspection of its nuclear facilities? Israel, for good reason -- it wants to keep its precise capabilities in doubt. > Well, how could a little country drain more than $100 billion from the U.S. Treasury? Plenty of other countries are close behind, including Egypt. > How could a little country attack and try to sink a U.S. Navy ship in international waters and avoid any kind of congressional investigation? That was a regrettable incident, but they do happen occasionally between allies. > How can a little country openly brag to third parties that it controls the U.S. Congress? I have not heard this about Israel from any credible sources. I *have* heard *American* Jews say it. > The problem and danger to the United States is that Israel effectively dictates U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Israel supporters were the architects of the war against Iraq, and if they can, they will get us into wars with Syria and Iran, thus eliminating Israel's enemies. They would like nothing better than for the United States to be at war with the entire Muslim world. Uh, gee, on the first two sentences, besides the fact that war is hell, what's so wrong with that? The world would be a better place with Syria and Iran reformed and not enemies of Israel and the U.S. As for the third, the U.S. doesn't need to fight the entire Muslim world, just those countries with hostile governments. That's not all of them. > As I write this, the United States has once again vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding that Israel not assassinate the elected leader of the Palestinians. Great God, how do you think that plays in the Arab world when we cannot bring ourselves to condemn what would be a war crime? Last I checked, killing an enemy leader is not a war crime. It's a sound strategem. > It's no wonder the World Trade Center towers came down. It's no wonder American soldiers are ducks in an Iraqi shooting gallery. Israel is the source of terrorism in the Middle East, both that directed at it and that directed at us. Total Barbra Streisand. > And, by the way, it is Yasser Arafat who is the man of peace, not Ariel Sharon. Extreme Barbra Streisand! I personally wouldn't call Sharon a man of peace, unless one means peace through strength, but Arafat!? > It was Arafat who persuaded Palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist, who persuaded them to accept a two-state solution, which means they will settle for 22 percent of their own country. And it is Sharon who refuses to give them even that. It is Sharon who rejected the "road map." It is Sharon who kicks sand in the face of little George Bush any time he feels like it. Yet more BS. Arafat is the one who keeps fanning Palestinian hopes of taking back all of the British Mandate of Palestine. > And don't kid yourself. Regardless of what the Israelis say, they intend to kill Arafat. They know he will not surrender, so they will just say he died "in an exchange of gunfire." Then prospects for peace are dead forever, and the state of Israel will start its slide toward oblivion. (1) Good riddance on Arafat, and (2) God has something to say about "oblivion" for Israel. > The question for Americans is this: How long do you want to bleed lives and treasure because your corrupt politicians have sold their souls to the lobby of a foreign country now led by a fanatic right-wing extremist? As long as it takes, O deceived one. ---Lowell ________________________________ Changes to your subscription (unsubs, nomail, digest) can be made by going to http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
