Thank you.<br /><br />I do hope you are wrong however in implying that Romney will be little different to the rest of those presidents in waiting, only too happy to tell Israel all it wishes to hear, before the US elections.. <br /><br />Only time will tell, that's if snake oil salesman Obama doesn't get back in for 4 more years of trampling over Israel whilst professing his undying love for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-83332275850255316552012-08-01T08:17:21.135-04:002012-08-01T08:17:21.135-04:00SoCal - have you confused Arafat with Abu Mazen.

It was Abu Mazen who received Phd from Lumumba U in early 1980s, not coincidentally for a dissertation in Holocaust denial, proving the real number of Jewish victimes was 600,000 and Zionists pumped up the numbers to better oppress the Arabians pretending to be Philistinians in Judea. <br /><br />He also had dedicated the said dissertation to the memory of the accursed Mufti ymmah shmo, and pledged to continue "his struggle".Will48http://reasonresponsibilityandchoice.blogspot.co.il/2008/12/anthem.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-70111501424632268302012-08-01T07:57:52.990-04:002012-08-01T07:57:52.990-04:00Sultan - that's __fake__ and seemingly easy sh...Sultan - that's __fake__ and seemingly easy shortcut.

However, a large part of the problem is that ignorant American and Israeli politicos never learned what Chamberlain learned the hard way: It takes two or more to make peace, but only one to make a war. There must be a willing partner for Israel to have peace. When the annointed partner is that Nobel prize winning man of "peace" Arafat (graduate of the Patrice Lumumba International Peace University in Moscow, AKA Terror U)it is easy to see why things turn out like they are ("peace comes from the barrel of a gun"-who said that, mao or lenin?). <br />I will correct you on one matter Sultan. The US has been trying to have a muslim/arab friend since there was a US. We tried trade and bribes. We ended up sending the Navy and Marines ("from the halls of montezuma to the shores of tripoli") to deal with our "friends" who would rather pirate ships and abduct sailors for torture, murder, slavery, and ransom. As far as I am concerned, we need to dump our oil rich "friends" and go back to being energy independent. I can hear the howls from big oil and contractors like Bechtel now...SoCal Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-50180151246189121612012-07-31T14:43:21.562-04:002012-07-31T14:43:21.562-04:00May I add to what Anonymous above said about the r...May I add to what Anonymous above said about the reporters and their ignorance?<br />These days it is stringers from the other, islamicist, side that are used. I consider their use to be accountable for a lot of the success of anti-Israel reporting, and the change in Western attitudes towards Israel, especially when compounded with the huge muslim immigration numbers in Western states. <br />One doesn't need to look far. The shameful CNN, BBC and other alphabet 'news' agencies use moslem stringers in order to survive the threats and consequences of not using them and reporting the arab viewpoint. This is well documented, but under-reported, naturally. It can be instructive to note the reporter's names on the bylines.Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-91321344727363015282012-07-31T10:44:18.013-04:002012-07-31T10:44:18.013-04:00Mr. Knish this is a very well written thread by yo...Mr. Knish this is a very well written thread by you. Up until the Six Day War, most news media did not have a regular correspondent or writer permanently stationed in Israel. Instead they relied upon “stringers” i.e. local Israeli journalists for news. After the Six Day War the number of news people stationed in Israel ballooned to the point that after Washington D.C., London, and Moscow, Israel was 4th in the mixed blessing of journalists stationed there. Some were excellent, most however (think The New York Times, BBC, CBS) were ignorant. The sad part is that these news people need to earn their living so they went under every rock in Israeli society to write about discrimination against non Ashkenazi, religious tensions between Orthodox and secular, municipal strikes, ad nauseum. The old saying that Jews are news certainly applied and no aspect of Israeli life and society warts and all was off limits. The New York Times decades ago came out with the shockingly breathless discovery that Tel Aviv actually had prostitutes! Of course they never picked through Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, or Palestinian society nearly as much as they did Israel. At least once a year 60 Minutes lead by Mike Wallace, (and now Bob Simon) would have a hit piece directed against Israel). I, like you, wish that Israel would be ignored by the media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-84758913989633427912012-07-31T09:46:45.073-04:002012-07-31T09:46:45.073-04:00Dear Sultan Knisch, I can hear a certain despair i...Dear Sultan Knisch, I can hear a certain despair in your voice here, and who could blame you. <br /><br />I think, if at all possible, Israel should let go of her patience with her would-be pimps of the "West" and her would-be killers of the Arab Hexenkessel.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905667628853229999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-78265881554585585222012-07-31T02:22:54.241-04:002012-07-31T02:22:54.241-04:00The problem for American presidents is that the re...The problem for American presidents is that the real world runs on money and even though the world always depicts the Jews of having all the money it happens to be the Arabs that, thanks to our industry's demand for oil, have most of it.

He's like the alien artifact in the movie "Sphere" that makes real any thought that pops into your dream. Like Nixon he believes in nothing and will say and do anything to get what he wants.
