Since the anti-Zionist position of Israel being eliminated entails a new genocide of the Jews by the victorious Muslims, anti-Zionist is no different than antisemite. There are only two escapes from this charge. First, if the anti-Zionist is one of those religious Jews who thinks Israel should not exist until the Messiah comes. Second is sheer, imbecilic, ignorant stupidity. Come to think of it, these are not mutually exclusive, since any Jew who thinks successful anti-Zionism will not result in a new genocide is suffering from a severe case of cranial rectal impaction.

“People like Erlanger seem to think that Israel has no right to respond in kind to those making war on Israel.”

That is because Erlanger believes Israel has no right to exist. He is too dishonest and weaselly to come right out and say it, but I have not the slightest doubt that he believes this. It is the inevitable conclusion from his “reporting”, which is nothing but a relentless sewer of anti-Zionist propaganda.

People like Erlanger seem to think that Israel has no right to respond in kind to those making war on Israel. If a political entity (one can hardly call the Palestinian Arabs a nation) makes war on Israel the latter has every right to make war back. Israel has, in fact, been remarkably restrained about its retaliation for Palestinian acts of war. If it was up to me the Palis would have been driven from Gaza long since, to find refuge somewhere else, like in the Wahhabist Entity.

“One could reasonably ask if his report was approved by Hamas.”

It didn’t need to be. Erlanger’s job is Hamas’ cheif propagandist.

Memo to the Palestinians:

“You’ve made your own beds. Now lie in them.”

I can distinctly recall many people calling for Israel to negotiate with Gaza after Hamas won the election because Hamas was democratically elected, etc. (Of course these were people who tended not to be moved by Israel’s democratic system but that’s another story.)

OK, Hamas was democratically elected. And the people who elected it are responsible for what they chose. As has been the case for sixty years, the Palestinian Arabs have made choices and every so often they’re going to have to take the consequences.
