The moralist ( Must Read )

Jerusalem Post ^ | DAVID HOROVITZ

[ventanax5]

For those of you who have not seen it, the lengthy (10,000 word) interview conducted by the editor, David Horovitz, with Professor Asa Kasher is absolutely compulsory reading for anyone seeking an understanding of the standard of morality under which the IDF operates.

Kasher, who teaches philosophy at Tel Aviv University, co-authored the first IDF Code of Ethics. The interviewer, David Horovitz, assumes the role of the devil’s advocate and skillfully leads Kasher to respond to questions impinging on the blood libels and condemnations of alleged IDF behavior during the Gaza war upon which the Goldstone Report was based, which to this day are still being promoted to demonize Israel and portray its soldiers as war criminals.

The interview is the most effective demolition of the slanders directed against the IDF I have ever read. In clear terms it enables those with an open mind to learn what really happened in Gaza and understand the truth. It convincingly demonstrates that despite the obscene distortions still being repeated this very week in the far left daily Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the IDF is undoubtedly the most moral military force in the world and could well serve as a role model for the army of any Western democracy seeking to minimize innocent civilian casualties. It enables those with an open mind to learn what really happened in Gaza and understand the truth about the IDF.

I urge you to read this interview, distribute it and file it for future reference.

It should also be compulsory reading in every Jewish day school and distributed to members of synagogues and other Jewish organizations. It ought also be translated into Hebrew and used as a text in Israeli high schools.

That statement seems to be at odds with the fact that you chose to..

The moralist ( Must Read )

How can anyone read it when it isn't posted here?

Did you mean that folks "must read" the little excerpt?

This is the same old crap all designed to put Israel on the defensive as if they do onto have the right to exist.

Hopefully, they won't fall for this rattrap and go back on offensive where they belong.

No one has the right to destroy mad muzzies more than Israel with the crap they have put up with for so many years.

Honestly, having Horowitz do this is like having CAIR interview an imam. I think we know how it will go. What is the point? It won’t change anyone’s opinion.

I keep wondering if maybe you lost the use of your mouse finger and are unable to click through. If so, my condolences for the loss of that finger. You might try the middle one which is obviously working well since it is the one you tend to direct at anyone posting a link to another site.

What is curious this time is that usually you feel the compulsion to spout your 'just post it here' tripe because someone links to a blog. But this one is not a blog.

Perhaps you are just anti-advertising. How very socialist of you. Or maybe you have something against the Jerusalem Post. How very interesting of you.

Maybe you don't want to click through because you are afraid of a virus. Really, from the Jerusalem Post? Get McAfee. Or better yet, get a Mac.

Or maybe you just don't understand why no one bothered to read your blog.

Excellent piece. Well worth the read.

AT THE END OF THE EXCERP THERE IS A LINK TO GET THE ENTIRE ARTICLE. JUST CLICK ON IT.

Excellent piece.

[And despite Humblegunner's insistence that you post the entire 10,000 words here, the excerpt is quite sufficient for anyone interested. If they want to read more, they can click through. HG just seems to have a lot of time on his hands with no one to annoy, so he picks on random people he thinks (in his self-appointed wisdom) are abusing Free Republic.]

Thanks for the post.

Wrong guy. Horovitz, not Horowitz. But it would be a good read even if it were Horowitz.

oops... still it is hard to find anyone objective. They all have an agenda.

Objectivity is seriously over-rated. It is not just that they all have an agenda, they are all human. And humans have opinions. If they are upfront about that fact, I don't mind the slant. And David Horowitz is pretty transparent about his own beliefs.

Great post, thanks so much for finding that article and promoting it.

[humblegunner]

Or maybe you just don't understand why no one bothered to read your blog.

Not surprising, as there's nothing on it.
Awesome piece of research, though. You get a cookie.

Perhaps you are just anti-advertising. How very socialist of you.

Folks who use Free Republic as free advertising for blogs are thieves.
You like that? How very criminal of you.

Or maybe you have something against the Jerusalem Post. How very interesting of you.

So I slam 500 American blogs and one Israeli site and that's "interesting". Stuff it.
It's not on the excerpt list and need not be excerpted.

If you have a problem with that I can't help you.

[humblegunner]

Kiss my ass.

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

Excellent post. I enjoyed the article more than any I’ve read in a while. Truly informative.

[newheart]

Kiss my ass.

And a blessed Easter morning to you too, HG.
