Comment on There is no moderation of the Hamas mission by Alex Bensky

Gary, that’s because they don’t really mean it. They just want peace with their neighbors; all that stuff about wiping out Israel and exterminating Jews everywhere, that’s just that colorful Arab rhetoric.

And with that in mind, of course, you can discount everything that Hamas and the PA say and everything that spews from virtually every imaginable source but mosques to children’s tv programs.

By the way, the Hamas charter blames Jews for the French Revolution and the world wars, which I can at least understand. But we’re also blamed for such international fonts of evil as…the Lions and the Rotary clubs. Any idea why these are seen as part of the Zionist conspiracy?

Forget about Hamas agreeing to recognize Israel – how about just not wanting to kill every Jew in the world? I’ve got a link to the Hamas charter, and it calls explicitly for the murder of Jews – not Israelis, Zionists, or “settlers” – Jews. That anyone would consider them anything but a savage, genocidal hate group is a disgrace and an outrage. I know I’m preaching to the choir here but it is simply appalling that this fact is not mentioned every single time someone prattles on about Hamas “moderating”. Of all the hypocrisies of the MSM this is one of the worst.

” Jeffrey Goldberg points out that Syria has now killed more of its own citizens civilians than Israel did during both Palestinian intifadas. ”

Wow, Goldberg is really on the case, just like the rest of the MSM. Syria surpassed this by miles before the intifadas even occurred at Hama almost 30 years ago. The “shocked, shocked” reactions of the MSM and the BO administration at Syria’s murderous savagery – after years of kissing up to the Assads while demonizing Israel 24×7 – make Captain Renault look like Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, I know Goldberg is better than most but that just points up how bad the rest of the MSM is. The worst? Maybe Vogue who gave a fawning, glowing profile of Assad’s wife just before the latest slaughter began. Next up: the glamorous but misunderstood Eva Braun.

Comment on I was right: It’s a deadbeat bailout by Alex Bensky

And why should I pay my mortgage if there’s a good chance the government will take care of it if I don’t?

Comment on Discriminating against veterans by Cameron

There are a few tips that your nephew can use to help him through that possible problem.

When he’s ready to go to college, he can get in touch with the Veteran’s liaison at whatever one he chooses. You get a good one, and they will know how to fight the bureaucracy.

Save every record and keep his resume as current as possible. He may be able to fight admissions and prove that his work experiences should translate into credits.

And when he is at college, save every name and detail of every conversation he has with anyone in admissions or when he’s trying to get his GI Bill. If he becomes the kind of person that they will do anything to get him out of the office and away from their desks, he’s off to a good start.

Oops, you’re right about the Palestinians not being Israeli citizens. I probably should have said civilians, which I will go and change now.

Jeffrey Goldberg points out that Syria has now killed more of its own citizens than Israel did during both Palestinian intifadas.

Actually, he said that Syria is on track to kill more people within 10 months than the number of people who died on either side in both intifadas. He didn’t break down the deaths in the intifadas by which side did the killing or who was being killed. Also, many or most of the Palestinians killed during the intifadas were not Israeli citizens.

Comment on You lost me at “wants to be remembered” by Gary Rosen

Not an important reason to attack Iran: to keep a bunch of psychopathic savages from murdering millions of Jews. No biggie. Been there, done that.

Alex: The show that J Street is talking about funding is a legitimate licensed version of “Sesame Street.” It is not the same show as “Tomorrow’s Pioneers,” the show which had the Mickey Mouse-lookalike character being killed by the Israelis, which airs on a different network.

Comment on One more penalty on thriftiness by annoyinglittletwerp

My son will be starting college this fall-probably Texas Tech-and I will also be going back to school at the same university. I’ll be paying for my one or two classes a term out-of-pocket. My grandmother left my son a ‘college’ fund’ but most of it’s in stocks…bought the year I was born. The capital gains BS on that account should be…fun when we have to deal with taxes. Because he lives with his dad in Illinois he’s trying to get $1000 worth of ‘in house’ scholarships which will qualify him for in-state tuition. His dad will be taking out a small loan, if he lives with us he’ll save on room/board…and he WILL be expected to pay us a little rent each month AND have a part time job. He’s also thinking of joining Army ROTC. He has been informed that his parents and step-parents are not willing to go into debt for his future. That’s part of being a grown-up. You live within your means and take responsibility for your actions. My son will NOT be a burden on a society that owes him NOTHING!
