[ That the Arab world would appreciate billions of dollars in past American aid to Jordan, Egypt, and the Palestinian Authority, or thank America for its help in Kuwait and Kosovo, or be grateful to America for freeing Iraq — all this is about as plausible as the idea that Western Europeans would acknowledge their past salvation from Nazism and Soviet Communism, or be grateful for the role the United States plays to promote democracy in Panama, Haiti, the Balkans, or the Middle East. ]

Bump!

"This fashionable anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism — especially among purported intellectuals of the Left — reveals a deep-seated, scary pathology that is growing geometrically both in and outside the West."

Hanson hits one out of the park again. And, he rightly points the finger at the hateful Left. I wonder when Jews on the Left will wake up to see the sharks they are swiming with. Global anti-semetism is definitely on the rise. I fear it will be on an order beyond what Hitler could have only dreamed of.

WOW! Excellent. But VDH paints a pretty gloomy picture.

[Mr. Mojo]

A Malaysian official and his apologists must realize that gender apartheid, statism, tribalism, and the anti-democratic tendencies of the Middle East cause its poverty and frustration despite a plethora of natural resources (far more impressive assets than the non-petroleum-bearing rocks beneath parched Israel). But why call for introspection when the one-syllable slur "Jews" suffices instead?

Because nothing horrifies Muslims more than looking in the mirror.

Thanks for an excellent post. VDH is always a good read.

How do you explain to an audience that Quentin Tarantino appeals both to teens and to empty-headed critics precisely because something is terribly amiss in America......

Hey Vic, I love ya, but don't you be dissin' Pulp Fiction and its fans. .....or I'm gonna have to get medieval on yo ass.

For the Muslim world that must confront the power of the patriarch, mullah, tribe, and autocrat if it is ever to share the freedom and prosperity of the rest of the world, the Jews offer a much easier target

There's really no decent way out for the Muslim world.

The courage of the Israelis points up their own cowardice and absence of a moral compass.

Mindlessly lashing out at perceived enemies is the path of least resistance, and will ultimately lead to their self destruction.

For a Europe that is disarmed, plagued by a demographic nightmare of negative population growth and unsustainable entitlements, filled with unassimilated immigrants, and deeply angry about the power and presence of the United States, the Jews and their Israel provide momentary relief on the cheap. So expect that more crazy thoughts of Israel's destruction dressed up as peace plans will be as common as gravestone and synagogue smashing.

 

Jews don’t necessarily get to decide who’d a Jew.  (sic)

 

"Politics does not define who is a Jew. Faith does." (sic)

 

 

I seem to remember a thing or more about what defines a Jew. Israel defines a Jew, as one with a Jewish mother. The Nazis had a different definition, which was quite logical and based on  something that I can only imagined would be understood if one were familiar with some contrived thing called "Nazi Math, or Aryan super race BS," or by some other brilliant nomenclature.

 

Put 2 Jews in a room and you will get three opinions.  I am always amazed, and I am still awed at the profound truth of that observation. Jews in Israel (from another article posted today)  criticizing other Jews on these type of matters. It is in my view, astonishing! Astonishing, because the evidence of the truth is so readily available, via the Internet, and even other resources. Resources that are so easy to access, that in days to come, there will be no real excuse for ignorance. Only stupidity can  be excused logically. If you are reading this, then you will be out of excuses at some point.

 

I am not that bright after all. There is so much that I do not understand concerning these matters. I am so dumb, that I actually had to look up the meaning of the word rubric.  I am always surprised, when I am compelled to recognize the level of my own ignorance.

 

I am on the edge of ranting now, so I simply must stop posting on these matters.

Eretz Israel!

So I start reading.
Into the article a sentence or two,
I misread 'postmodern' to be 'postmortem.'
The article made more sense that way.
Hmm.
