Comments on: Hating Israel more than loving Palestinians

Actually there is nothing Israel can do to bring about peace. Any policies based on the assumption that leaning on Israel will help are doomed to failure; advocacy of such policies revealing that the advocate doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The whole initiative rests with the Muslims. It is their determination to support war and terrorism that drives the war. If they stopped trying to destroy Israel and kill the Jews there would be peace tomorrow, and they would have nothing to fear from Israel. But this is not something the Arabs can endure. Israel’s existence is an offense to their overweening vanity, which tells them that they, the Muslims, the Best of Men, must rule. So the war will continue, in its particularly noxious terrorist form, for as long as Muslims are willing to pay good money for Palestinian Arabs and their foriegn jihadist friends (like Kuntar the Lebanese) to blow themselves up trying to kill Jews.

Incidentally a Palestinian Arab state (another one I should say) would not only be Judenrein, it would also probably be without any Christians. The Muslims among the Palestinian Arabs have been driving out the Arab Christians, as has been happening in almost all Middle Eastern Muslim countries, including, I am ashamed to say, Iraq. Only about one quarter or fewer of Palestinian Arab Christians now live in the Palestinian Authority’s territory. The rest have fled Muslim persecution, mostly to Israel. It may soon be the case that the only state in the Middle East where Christians can live freely without fear of persecution will be the Jewish one Now there is irony for you.

“B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization, reports that a total of 123 Israeli minors have been killed by Palestinians since the second intifada began in 2000, compared with 951 Palestinian minors killed by Israeli security forces.”

I’m glad Kristof straightened us all out on WWII. All those Zionists trying to convince everyone the Allies were the good guys ignore how many more German children were killed than American children. Have Kristof and Pat Buchanan ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

I am disgusted with the constant leftwing “find fault with Israel, and ignore Arab provocations” articles. These stories are simply sophomoric in quality, “writers” determine their position ahead of time, and ignore all contrary evidence against their BS theories. Israel is constantly portrayed as evil, and its Jewish supporters around the world are portrayed as enablers of evil!
No wonder anti-Semitism is growing at an epidemic rate!

Kristof is guilty of shoddy work. Not unlike a lot of others he goes for the simple answer, regardless of whether it is historically accurate or smart.
