The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake.

[Scarchin]

WOW!!! They're all staring to crawl out from under their rocks now eh?

[Scarchin]

How long before he says "I didn't mean to say what I said, but what I said is true"? I say by noon today.

[nopardons]

What the....................????????????????

[msnimje]

If Israel does not have a right to exist, who does?

[Lancer_N3502A]

WHOA!

[Scarchin]

Basically - do a John Kerry.

[nopardons]

I guess so. :-(

[Dallas59]

Richard Cohen is a mistake and should be moved someplace else.

[ChadGore]

OMG

[roses of sharon]

LOL, the Nancy Boy left is always afraid, and they always surrender.

[ChadGore]

The real face of liberal hate is exposed.

[Scarchin]

LOL

[onyx]

Last I knew, Cohen was a Jewish surname.
Right?

[Hexenhammer]

Seems like Richard Cohen's mother made a mistake as well.

[Scarchin]

I think we're going to see more and more of this. They can't contains themselves much longer.

Another gifted British historian, Tony Judt, wraps up his recent book "Postwar" with an epilogue on how the sine qua non of the modern civilized state is recognition of the Holocaust. Much of the Islamic world, notably Iran under its Holocaust-denying president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stands outside that circle, refusing to make even a little space for the Jews of Europe and, later, those from the Islamic world. They see Israel not as a mistake but as a crime. Until they change their view, the longest war of the 20th century will persist deep into the 21st. It is best for Israel to hunker down.

??????????????????

I think what the Arabs hate is that the Jews took a bit of God forsaken dirt and made something of it, while they continue to live in squalor

[Scarchin]

There's some discussion over at LGF over whether Cohen necessarily = Jewish.

[Southack]

The WaPost unchained one of their Editors...

I liked this head-shaker:

There is no point in condemning Hezbollah. Zealots are not amenable to reason. And there's not much point, either, in condemning Hamas. It is a fetid, anti-Semitic outfit whose organizing principle is hatred of Israel. There is, though, a point in cautioning Israel to exercise restraint -- not for the sake of its enemies but for itself.

Cohen is a derivative name from Khan... Genghis...
