“Only Israel attracts an intellectually respectable movement querying its very existence. For the purposes of comparison, let’s take a state that came into existence at the exact same time as the Zionist Entity, and involved far bloodier population displacements. I happen to think the creation of Pakistan was the greatest failure of post-war British imperial policy. But the fact is that Pakistan exists, and if I were to launch a movement of anti-Pakism it would get pretty short shrift…

But why worry about European Muslims? The European political and media class essentially shares the same view of the situation — to the point where state TV stations are broadcasting fake Israeli ‘war crimes.’ As I always say, the ‘oldest hatred’ didn’t get that way without an ability to adapt: Once upon a time on the Continent, Jews were hated as rootless cosmopolitan figures who owed no national allegiance. So they became a conventional nation state, and now they’re hated for that. And, if Hamas get their way and destroy the Jewish state, the few who survive will be hated for something else.”

Mark Steyn is a national treasure.

I pledge allegiance to Steyn.

Why do you think that is?

A minority, immersed within a much larger population, which maintains its own separate religion and customs over many generations, is bound to attract attention and suspicion from those among whom they live.

Such is the nature of humans — we tend, for reasons both good and bad, to be xenophobic. It takes exceptional people to trust those who don’t have the same customs, religion, food preferences, etc. Sadly, a lot of us are not exceptional in that regard.

You can chalk that up to the instrumentation in the humans God created. Satan doesn’t have to work hard on a lot of us.

If Mexico had attacked USA that would be no problem.

Ah, but attacking the road or those travelling upon it IS attacking the USA, right?

The presence of United States troops on the edge of the disputed territory furthest from the Mexican settlements, was not sufficient to provoke hostilities. We were sent to provoke a fight, but it was essential that Mexico should commence it. It was very doubful whether Congress would declare war, but if Mexico should attack our troops, the Executive could announce, “Whereas, war exists by the acts of, etc.,” and prosecute the contest with vigor.

– Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant (autobiography)

Its been Satan’s desire to destroy the nation GOD rose from nothing to produce the Saviour of Mankind from further demonstrating the Majesty and Power that Jehovah GOD wields.

It should come as no surprise that Jews are hated NO MATTER WHAT they do or are victim of.

But therein lies the problem with unbelievers. Everything I just said can be chalked up to myth or superstitious blather to them.

You never hear a rational explanation as to why Jews are so hated and distrusted even to the point that they feel like aliens in their lands of birth other than Israel.

Why do you think that is?

They are in a fight for their existence.

Be like China and Russia – ruthless and the world will back off.

Words won’t hurt you. Listening to morally and intellectually bankrupt western leftists, will get you killed.

If the United States were to build a road through Mexico to aid our commuters (say, from Espiranza TX to Tucson AZ), and ordered Mexicans not to cross that road on pain of death, I’m sure Mexico would consider that a friendly act.

Why such roads through the West Bank are needed (both in terms of the acts along the roads [as pointed out by saus] as well as the endpoints of the roads [conveniently not mentioned by saus]) is right at the cruz of the difficulties between Palestine and Israel

How is there any apartheid? Seperate (sic) roads? The Palestinians snipe and stone Israeli vehicles so their are secured roads in the West Bank for use of Israeli citizens to our towns.

Is there any information about Naomi Klein being kicked in the head by a horse, or something? Can anyone tell me if her genealogy tree shows an uncorrected typo at some point where Klien went to Klein?

First you have to understand a liberal. I think I have a good grasp as to how they think because I grew up in a very liberal area, know many more liberals then non-liberals and have politically active liberal friends.
 
In South Africa the whites were interlopers that had most if not all of the power and resources while the indigenous black and rightful owners of the land were kept down and denied basic necessities and services. It didn’t mater if the whites were born there or how long they lived there because liberals do not acknowledge the history of white European conquest as anything but bad.
 
A basic liberal view of Israel and Jews.
In Israel the Jews ere interlopers that have most if not all of the power and resources while the indigenous Palestinians and rightful owners of the land are kept down and denied basic necessities and services. It doesn’t mater if the Jews were born there or how long they lived there because liberals do not acknowledge the history of Jews as anything but bad.
 
That is why Liberals see South Africa and Israel as the same.

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Proecess” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
“For the traitor appears not a traitor – he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

– Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C

What does South Africa produce, exactly?

SA was the real pearl of Africa and was as progressive as any western Europe country. It was on the cutting edge with medical research (heart transplants), they had the top scientist who were able to develop an Abomb. When the MSM and other international liberals forced the country back to pre colonial black rule the country descended into chaos and there was a vast brain drain with their gifted people fleeing to safer quarters. So what does SA produce today?–Zimbaweism…enough said. The “yes we can” folks have had their way again. Proving what the multiculturalist and diversity poopheads allege: the people of color are where it’s at in the world.

They never grew out of their adolescent stage when it was cool to dis your own, whatever the target of that dissing might be.

They are adult versions of kids who think it’s cool to talk about “revolution” and wear Che shirts while having absolutely no idea what sort of extreme violence would occur if that happened.

Al Gore doesn’t obviate the need for Affirmative Action in the Noble Prize awards. They are 85% white or Asian. More than Gore must be done or something BAD is in store for us from our poor.

But the awards are NOT subject to the law of the US. Like in energy and other areas, we need to set an example, even if it hurts. We can get what we need from whites. Rich, if possible.

We need more extensive Affirmative Action featuring a clear percentage breakdown to help minorities with special attention to young felons and those who show a love of revolution. We can call Ayres for help!

Above all, we need a strict percentage by population even if it means rejecting numerous Asians and smart little white patriots and/or shutting down Brandeis we we cut the Jews. We will keep accepting blacks over white underprivileged kids or veterans cause Hollywood and the media think they are cool.

I hope The One or his zombies read this.

Q: What do Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe, Norm Finklestein, and Avner Lewis all have in common?
A: Anti-Semitism, of an admittedly weird variety, or just left wing boiler plate. Seriously, I need someone to explain this phenomenon to me.

The self-hating Jew is a byproduct of several things: rejection of one’s roots, rebellion against parents and most prominently a desperate desire to fit in with the crowd, which means becoming even more of a Jew-hater than even the most rabid anti-Semite amongst them.

The sad irony is that most social movements of the late 19th/early 20th centuries were founded by Jews as a means of combatting anti-semtism, racism and injustices (organized labor, communism, socialism, NAACP) but very quickly became co-opted by Stalinists and then the 60′s radicals, who used these movements to attack Israel and Jews in general.

Either wittingly or unwittingly, Klein and her ilk are the most useful of useful idiots, for they are used as evidence to prove the evil lie that being anti-Zionist is not being anti-Semitic.
