I want as many Zionists around President Obama as possible. I do not want the safety and well being of Israel to be debatable.
You guys just love to focus on labels and fear. Hard to picture him as a zionist when: http://www.ujc.org/page.aspx?id=38016
"You guys just love to focus on labels and fear." Who's 'you guys?' Why are you focusing on labeling everyone here, as though everyone here has the same beliefs and understandings.
It was meant as a general term in reply to the previous posters that labeled him a zionist. instead of listing each one by name individually. I think most readers understood that.
def, you sure you weren't just looking for attention? personally, I am happy to have as chief of staff someone who is a trained ballet dancer. those guys are tenacious and disciplined.
If they stop their suicide bombing, and become a docile source of cheap labor they will be safe. If they don't want to live under the care of a people that is far more civilized and accomplished then they are, I suggest they move to an Arab country.
I hope that's sarcasm. They can't afford to move to Dubhai like the Clintons, Guiliani and other westerners.
All of Israel and the occupied territories Israel should have annexed decades ago are less than 1% of all Arab land. If the Arabs really cared about the Palestinians they would make it easy for the Palestinians to move to their countries. The truth is that the Arabs do not care about the Palestinians any more than I do. The Arabs use the so called "plight of the Palestinians" as an excuse to hate Israel. They hate Israel because the Jews there are so obviously superior to them.
"What leads one people to starvation, trains the other for hard work." - Adolph Hitler, from Mein Kampf, Chapter XI "Nation and Race" Chancellor Hitler could have been comparing the Palestinians and the Jews.
Let us remember: the Palestinians supported Nazi Germany during the Second World War; they supported the Soviet Union during the Cold War; they supported Iraq during the Gulf War; when the World Trade Center was destroyed they danced in the streets. I saw it on Fox News. They played it again and again.
I saw it Fox News, what a glowing testimonial!. I saw the revolt in Tianamen Square on ABC, and all the networks, and years later I saw our government grant them most Favored Nation status. I've seen trade normalized with Vietnam. I am tired of war and pointing fingers. Time to move on. Like capitalists tell us with China and Vietnam. Palestinians deserve a homeland as much as Israelis.
You profess to support Israel, yet you quote Hitler. I'd be worried if I was a Jew. I am always vigilant and worried about people like you. And I will always fight your sort of prejudice.
I have read Mein Kampf twice. Why did I read it twice? I got more out of it the second time. I like to substantiate political arguments with appropriate quotes. I read any political thinker for insight, rather than doctrine. Adolph Hitler had good insight into social psychology. Of course, he was wrong about the Jews. Initially the Chancellor was sympathetic to Jews. In Chapter II of Mein Kampf, "Years of Study and Suffering in Vienna," he wrote, "I saw the only distinguishing mark in their strange religion. The fact that they had been persecuted on that account turned my aversion against unfavorable remarks about them almost into abhorrence...I still saw nothing but the religion in the Jew, and for reasons of human tolerance I continued to decline fighting on religious grounds. In my opinion, therefore, the language of the anti-Semitic Viennese press was unworthy of the cultural traditions of a great race." Unfortunately, Hitler failed in his efforts to become an artist or an architect. He needed someone to hate, and choose the Jews. In Vienna he saw many Jews who succeeded where he had failed, so he resented them. Hatred of Jews is the socialism of the gutter.
