Robert,
I've often wondered about the impact of the Israel left, both in Israel and the U.S. I'm sure you could say the same thing, as well, about the left in general. And you could certainly say the same thing about the Democratic Congress, in particular, in respect to Iraq. Isn't it funny how some Democratic presidential candidates are now starting to talk tough?

Robert I just stopped by because I saw Netanyahu is on the move just as you foretold many months ago. I dont have the time to look up your post but you said that the Prime Ministers rotate and its time for Bebe to step up and handle the mess the others have created ( I paraphrase of course). I dont have as much time to surf as I once did but I pop in and keep an eye on you guys. May God bless. Suz

yikes, sorry, Bibi

David:

The left in Israel enable Arab terrorists in a very direct way to kill Jews and threaten Israel's national existence. The cause and effect, time and again, is quite clear. If Gaza has not convinced the left of the folly of appeasement, nothing will.

And you know what, it has not, and nothing will.

Like true Communists, the left lives by inflated theories; they have no connection to political or physical reality; thus they never take into account, nor take responsibility for real-world consequenses. They always fall back on the same shop-worn excuse: "Well if you had only followed our original political platform none of this ever would have happened."

Clever little comrades; that's how millions perish in gulags, and no one takes responsibility, no one feels guilty. That's how appeasement marches on and homicide bombers are the direct result, but the left does not make the obvious connection.

The line in the sand is forever being moved one step back, one step back, one step back.

This is of course the politics of convenience, the politics of cowards, the politics of mass murderers, the politics of the amoral — the politics of the left.

Suz:

Here's my prediction:

Olmert and Co. are toast. Most sane Israelis understand that the Arabs are in the grip of jihad fever, mad to annihilate Israel, destroy the west. Policies of appeasement are suicidal. This is the time to retrench, show the Arabs that Israel has not lost the will to fight, to kill as many Arabs as it takes.

The next Prime Minister of Israel will be from Likud, Bibi.

Olmert will go down as the most wretched leader in Jewish history.

yep, that's the way I see it too. I pray for the safety of Jerusalem and give thanks for such men who rise up to protect Israel.

Robert-

Israel faces the same problem that we face here in the USA: the enemy within, i.e., the left-wing appeaseniks, who are anti-patriotism, anti-religion, anti-God, anti-morality, but who are obsessed with the imaginary dangers of global warming and who are devoted to the rights and preservation of the gay, lesbian and transgender members of the community.

Daniel:

The irony is that the left, who are obsessed with gay rights, and gays who openly support Hizbullah, are prime targets of jihadists. Homosexuals are fiercely oppressed in all Muslim countries; in fact Iran has publicly executed several homosexuals just this year. The only country in the Middle East that protects the civil rights of homosexuals is, yup, Israel.

But do these uncomfortable facts get in the way of leftist ideology?

They do not.

Jew-hatred at work.
