Patrick J. Buchanan: Mideast peace an illusion?

Nevertheless, today's Palestinians are indiginous to the region while most Israelis are immigrants.

Don't fool yourself. 43% of Israeli Jews are from the MidEast. That's what I call indigenous. They were kicked out of Arab nations after 1948. Where is the justice for these Jews who were booted and ethnically cleansed from Arab nations? They don't count? Of course Pat doesn't mention them either.

Thank you for getting through the first sentence.

How is this a hatchet job? I wrote:

"So let me get this straight...

More important, with this latest intifada marked by massacres of children at pizza parlors, Israelis no longer believe security can be found cheek-by-jowl with an Arafat-led Palestinian state. Who can blame them?

And then he rants about the Israeli lobby? So he RECOGNIZES that Arafat wants to destroy Israel, but he complains that the U.S. won't let him!! What nerve!"

I read the damn article. Buchanan HIMSELF realizes that the Israelis have a pretty good reason to distrust the Palestinians. And thus he concludes, despite that Israel realizes that it may in fact be suicidal to give the Palestinians a state, it should do so anyway, because... the Israeli lobby is powerful? Where are you Gen Eisenhower, to tell Israel to just shut up and enjoy more massacres, because that will somehow appease the nutso Islamic masses, despite them still fighting similar battles in the Kashmir, in the Phillipines, Chechnya, etc. etc.?

Willie was talking about all the Jews that migrated from Europe to make the trek with Moses.

[Nimitz]

your post #32 is right on the money.

Where in the article does Pat offer an anti-jewish opinion or resolution to the problems Israel faces in the mideast? He merely offers a bit of wisdom and brilliantly expresses insight that we, as Americans, off handedly dismiss because it comes from the besieged Pat Buchanan. READ his article. Pat is right again. READ!

What? No comment on the joke?

So you would post US troops in the region to guarantee Israel's safety?

...Palestinians have lost 700 dead in this uprising – including women and children – and thousands wounded...

Maybe the cowards should quit sending them out on the front lines.

Pat, Pat, Pat...unbelievable.

"Prediction: Bush and Powell will start up the road to a brokered peace and find they are on a political Highway of Death. Karl Rove will walk into the Oval Office and say, "Mr. President, it is not worth it, it is not working – we are down to 60 percent in the polls. Let's go back to benign neglect."

Looks like Pat is putting up his resume for Dionne Warwick's old gig at the "Pyschic Friends Network"

Thank you for getting through the first sentence.

You're welcome. That fulfills my Buchanan quota through the end of next year.

[EternalVigilance]

Pat is now reduced to using Senator Fulbright as his source of wisdom?

How the mighty have fallen.

[dennisw]

Good joke. Did you get it from your in-laws.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Good guess!

[imperator2]

The despicable liar is back again. Can Mr. Buchannon give evidence of the $100 billion in aid. It is a figment of his imagination. 90% of aid to Israel is spent in this country on American armaments. Does Buchannon wish Israel to be defeated because of lack of arms? We know the answer. The man is pure evil.

Next time tell the guy who told it to you, "You're such a kidder!"

That's how they talk in NY.

Amen corner

Pat's right as to to the makeup of the power behind the power, but on the issue, he's wrong.

The west has just lost Bosnia , Kosovo and Masadonia(?) is going under. Wish that Pat would come to the understanding that bloody Islamization of the west is worst than the Communism threat he fought against. It's pass time to take on the 'new evil empire'.

[dennisw]

Just tell him> You're a real kidder Herb!

or

You're such a kidder Irv!

[Luis Gonzalez]

LOL!
