I would say that this “(yes, there is one) ” is a poor attempt at sarcasm rather than a statement about Hamas being a moderate outfit. But I am in a mellow mood on Sunday mornings ;-)

The PAL schnorers are like the bully that runs home to his momma [UN] when the victim says enough, and fights back,
and of course, the mommas “perfect” son is always right.

What really irritates me is the knee jerk “neo-liberal” reaction against Israel retaliation, when Israel is defending itself against daily rocket attack from the hell hole Gaza strip.

If this is what the liberals and Democrats have become, then I want no part of it!

What other liberal beliefs are suspect? Virtually all of them. One of the things that turned me into a conservative from a wishy-washy liberal so many years ago was noticing that liberal policies were not effective. They did not achieve what they set out to do. And liberals are content with that. Schools don’t teach, but liberals are content with that and fight against reform because the NEA is a partisan supporter of the Democratic Party. Conservatives complained about poor quality education for decades, and tried to reform it, but mostly have been stymied by the entrenched stregnth of the bureaucratic, judicial, and liberal political alliance.

If there are 20,000 hardcore terrorists in Gaza you’ll probably have to kill 15,000 of them to end the attacks. It can’t start too soon. The Arabs/Muslims propose genocide of the Jews. The last time someone did so he made a very effective effort at carrying out this proposal. Kill the new genocidal bastards first, until they are sick of war and prefer peace. They wanted war; give it to them.

This really is indicative of the illness that is infecting the left wing, even the Jewish groups and organizations are not immune. The Forward has always been on the left, but amazingly is now tying to show some sympathy for the Arabs while living in their safe communities in NY oblivious to the barrage of rockets hitting Israel daily.
How totally naÃ¯ve to believe that the Pals want to live side by side with Israel and not destroy her.

I had cancelled my subscription to the Forward many years ago, and just last week I received a request for reinstatement, I â€œpolitelyâ€ told them why I am not.

The same issue is affecting my local Minneapolis area Jewish weekly periodical, the new editor is starting to quote Zogby polls, Juan Cole, Michael Lerner and other leftwing characters in his articles, and it was time to say goodbye to him as well.

My question is, if the left wing is so blatantly wrong about Israel, what other long held liberal beliefs are also suspect?
