ISRAEL - IRAN - SYRIA - HAMAS - HEZBOLLAH - WWWIII?

Does this somehow justify the really terrible things being taught to the Pal children?

As recently as last week, A Palestinian soccer tournament was named after a terrorist.

But the UN was quick to denounce Israeli construction.

On Saturday Serry released a statement, saying that he "unequivocally condemns last night's shocking murder of an Israeli family of five, including three children, in the West Bank, and calls for those responsible to be brought to justice. "

No, it wouldn't, Advocate, if that was a realistic description of what is actually happening. Your article, though graphic, I'm sure you'd agree, isn't all that balanced.

After an Israeli couple and 3 of their young children were brutally executed in their beds Friday night the Hamas terrorists in Gaza, ... were handing out candy in the streets.

Is the connection that we're supposed to make here that those responsible for that attack were handing out candy or that it is simply bizarre for people to ever hand out candy to children in Gaza?

To these people, she gave her life to help their struggle.

I've never heard it mentioned, anywhere, that an airport in Washington is named after a terrorist, or that numerous pieces of military junk carry the names of terrorists/war criminals.

No balance, Advocate. That's the guy's job, to try to stop one of the major reasons for the violence that will continue as long as Israel keeps stealing and making use of other people's land.

I didn't make any apology for anyone, Advocate. I suggested a more balanced approach is what is needed to rectify this problem. The murder was a horrific event that no one should ever want to see repeated. All murderers should be held to account.

But unless a more balance approach is taken, these events will continue. That's a given.

Right now, in the "war" there is no balance. In your mind you believe Israel kills in a fashion that isn't brutal like this was. Yet that isn't at all true. Israel has committed war crimes, Israel has been brutal, Israel just has the big and the fancy gunnery.

You appear to have endorsed the Arab narrative, which ignores the fact that it was the Jewish state that suffered aggression from its neighbors preceding the ’67 war.

We may debate the amount of land beyond the 1949 armistice lines that Resolution 242 entitles us to retain, but the discussion is over minor percentages. Besides, two prime ministers offered the Palestinians over 90 percent of these territories – and were rebuffed.

TODAY OUR region is undergoing unprecedented upheaval. For years we have been confronting a xenophobic, Islamic Iran, on the eve of achieving nuclear status, which repeatedly declares its intention to wipe us off the face of the world.

Now the entire Arab world is in the throes of revolutionary turmoil. But far from emerging as free societies, new Arab regimes may prove to be even more committed to radical Islam than their corrupt predecessors. We fear that we will again be surrounded by fanatical rejectionist states committed to our destruction.

In this context, Mr. President, Israelis ask: What do you really expect of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government? Bear in mind that unilateral withdrawal from Gaza led to increased missile attacks. And since your election, Israel has made all the concessions. Last year, under enormous pressure from you, Netanyahu took the unprecedented step of imposing a 10-month freeze on settlement construction, even in areas that will unquestionably remain part of Israel. He also committed the government to endorsing a two-state solution – a major policy reversal in his Likud party.

In contrast, beyond making duplicitous statements – concealed from their constituents – endorsing peace, the Palestinian leaders remained utterly intransigent, unwilling to compromise on a single issue, even refusing to negotiate.

In fact, following Al Jazeera disclosures of compromises allegedly reached during negotiations with prime minister Ehud Olmert, the PA leaders blatantly denied having offered any concessions.

Surely this suggests that when negotiating with Olmert, Abbas was either duplicitous or conscious that brainwashing his constituents to hate us had been so effective that any genuine Palestinian accommodation was inconceivable.

The incitement emanating from every level of Palestinian society continues unabated, with Abbas brazenly sanctifying terrorists and providing pensions for the families of those who murder Israeli civilians.

Besides, the PA has been adamant in its refusal to recognize us as a Jewish state. Indeed, whereas 20% of the population of Israel consists of Arab and Muslim citizens. . .

. . . our “moderate peace partner” has proclaimed that a Palestinian state would be judenrein, insisting that he would not tolerate the presence of a single Jew.

Mr. President, can you ignore such blatantly racist remarks from a leader you repeatedly refer to as a moderate peace partner?

Many of us believe that the principal objective of Abbas, like his Hamas kinsmen, is still the dissolution of Jewish sovereignty; that he is merely employing Yasser Arafat’s tactics of extracting unilateral concessions and attempting to dismantle us in stages.

However, even if we accept your premise that Abbas is genuinely willing to make peace, can you, seriously visualize him having the power to deliver? Besides, you are aware that Hamas is a genocidal organization, committed to killing all Jews. Yet the man you insist is a moderate peace partner unequivocally repeats his desire to merge his PA with these Islamic psychopaths.

Is it reasonable to expect us to support the creation of a neighboring state in which a dominant group remains proudly committed to our destruction?

AND FINALLY, Mr. President, a word about our right to defend ourselves.[.quote]

A necessarily discriminatory and oppressive ethnocentric state does not have the right to defend itself. Such a state has the obligation to dismantle and replace itself with a democratic one.

Quote:

If authorities in Cuba or Mexico authorized missile launches targeting American citizens, would you call for restraint? Would you respond by merely bombing empty buildings? Would you apologize if innocent civilians employed as human shields became casualties in the course of efforts to forestall attacks on American citizens?

If America were to be a necessarily discriminatory and oppressive state then America would deserve to be attacked from everywhere and everyone and dismantled and replaced with a democratic state.

Quote:

Mr. President, over the 63 years since we achieved independence, despite continuous terrorist attacks and neighbors seeking our destruction, we have succeeded in creating a vibrant democratic state.

Leibler and her fellow Zionists have succeeded in creating a "vibrant democratic state" exclusively for Jews at the expense of the Palestinian peoples. They should have endeavored to create a vibrant democratic state for all of the peoples in Palestine.

Quote:

It is thus unconscionable to apply moral equivalence between our efforts to protect our citizens, and those committing acts of terror.

Talk about the utter hypocrisy in decrying the application of moral equivalency in regard to protecting a necessarily discriminatory and oppressive ethnocentric state! The psychopathy is astounding!

Quote:

When you urge your Jewish constituents to press Israel to make further unilateral concessions, it epitomizes the concerns we share about your inability to appreciate the perils we face. It also fuels our fear that you are contemplating further pressure on us to retreat behind the 1949 armistice lines – which would endanger our very existence.

This necessarily discriminatory and oppressive ethnocentric existence of which Leibler speaks should be endangered. This existence of hers should be replaced with a more pluralistic and egalitarian existence that enfranchises not only her but all of the peoples of Palestine, even those from whom she would dearly like to separate from.

Quote:

I urge you to reinstate the principles outlined by the Bush administration. I refer to US rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees; recognition of demographic changes in relation to the major settlement blocs, not seeking to impose a return to the 1949 armistice lines; and support for defensible Israeli borders.

The Bush administration's policies concerning Israel/Palestine were driven partly by the dyed-in-the-wool Zionists in his administration, and principally by the Christianity Zionists therein who impart their own psychopathic, theological mumbo-jumbo into the already muddled issues involved in this conflict.

Quote:

I believe I echo the vast majority of my fellow Israelis when I appeal to you to provide us with the confidence to move forward by taking these elements into account and review your current policy.

Leibler's beliefs about echoing the vast majority of her fellow Israelis are unfortunately true, and portend the awful future that is in store for this wretched area of the world.

.....The culmination of all this was the massive attack by the Arab countries and the Pals on Israel in the '67 War. This justified Israel's seizure of the WB and Gaza as a prize of war and for security reasons. This should make you understand why Israel has to be very careful in its negotiations with the Pals over a separate state for the Pals.
