I missed the totalitarian part, as well.

Please tell me exactly where the spinach is stuck between my teeth. :)

*sigh* that wasn’t remotely what I was talking about, but what do you care? You only hear what you want to hear, and everything else is simply wished away. The people who post at this blog are at least as dogmatic as the old Communist Party ever was.

Self-defense=totalitarianism.
Got it.

The right of Israel to exist is a crime?

While anonymous here seems to have a shaky grasp of details (and spelling), the responses he/she has been getting do betray a rather totalitarian mindset among Neo-neocon and her supporters.

Al qur’an is clear about the Jews and you are right, Paul, it must gall the arabs to no end to have been repeatedly defeated by little Israel. With all their Soviet armament and superior numbers, they could not win, time and again. All those Soviet T-55 tanks that came at Israel weren’t made in Cairo or Damascus now were they? It draws a real smirk on my face when Jew haters harp and whine about US aid to Israel while like bigoted fools they refuse to acknowledge the military aid the old USSR provided to arabs. It galls the non-arab jew haters as well that such a tiny nation of Jews exists and prospers and cannot be defeated by arab forces. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. While the Israelis were putting a man in outer space, the arab neighbors were engaging in honor killings. That pretty much sums it up. Israel is the only real democracy in the ME and the only true friend the US has there.

In all honesty, I sincerely doubt that there will ever be real peace between Arabs and Jews. A peace fence will not insure peace with so much hate in people’s hearts. And let’s face it the Arabs cannot face the fact that Israel exists-it hurts their pride to think that so few Jews could stand up to them for so long !

Israel is under constant threat of terror, so to me the fence seems such a benign, simple & practical step to take, yet to listen to Amnesty International & read lefty organs like Guardian Unlimited one would think Israel was the devil incarnate for doing so. Israeli national security cant be dependent on whether every last person in Israel approves of each step taken because nothing would ever get done if it did.

There's no way TO post except to hit the anonymous button.

Yes, the fence (not all of it cement), being built in Israel is a buffer against suicide infiltrators. However, Jews have lived among arabs for thousands of years. It's never been pretty. But business could be accomplished. And, Avram Mitzna wasn't the only Israeli believing, ultimately, after the Arafat's leave the stage; that trade would make everything better.

The Disengagement is a sign that Jews living among arabs didn't change the situation much; once the Six Day War ended. The real failure of the settlements is that is very costly to every Israeli. It's taxpayer's money, ya know? Let alone the nightmare the IDF had to employ, just to bring a settler out of gaza to visit the dentist.

Will things change in the Mideast? One of the best things Arik Sharon has done was to notice the MSM vendetta wasn't just against him. And, the Laborite's hold on government also diminished. From this experience, for the past two years, the Israeli Prime Minister has lessened the terror. It's much safer in Tel Aviv, these days, than London, ya know? And, he's also dimished the harms that were coming out of the leftist press, GLOBALLY. Israel really does want trading partners. And, that's one of the reasons Europe's in the equation, when the Prime Minister saw the opportunities available by disengaging from a radicalized group of arabs. What's next? I dunno. But I don't think the Jews will be jumping into the sea, anytime soon. CAROL HERMAN
