Somewhere between prophet and Cyrus

Well, I’ll be. A real live member of the Ahmadinejad Fan Club–the only member I might add outside of Teheran. Or is Alison one of Mahmoud’s PR flacks?

Besides, the idea that Mahmoud is trying to save Israel from itself is ridiculous.

“Sixty years” the Iranian president declaimed; “Sixty years.” “Sixty years.”

How curious that that whole downward spiral began 60 years when Truman was persuaded he would be as great as Cyrus if he supported israeli statehood.

Pipes was also asked about the ‘Dying to Win’ book by Robert Pape in which Pape conveys that a majority of suicide bombers are driven to do what they do because of occupation of their land (Palestine, Iraq, etc.). Again, Pipes refused to answer as he cowardly looked down while the questioner kept asking during the ‘Q & A’ to no avail and was eventually asked to leave.. Incredible how Pipes handled himself at UCLA that night…

I went to the Mearsheimer and Walt presentation at UCLA and was surprised to hear and feel the rage of Americans who are fed up with the Israel Lobby and the right wing governments in Israel that have the US at war with the Muslim world.

Michael Scheuer former CIA head of the Bin Laden unit and author of “Imperial Hubris” and “Marching Toward Hell” was on the Bill Maher show Friday night (now on YouTube) where he stated that, “Israel is not worth an American life or an American dollar.” And,”Our unqualified support of Israel has caused the US tremendous pain and increasingly dead Americans- -fighting wars that are not ours to fight.” And, “America is fighting a war that doesn’t exist — our politicians have lied to us – this war is not because they hate freedom, women’s rights etc. — it is about our policies in the Middle East.”

The new book “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy” by Mearsheimer and Walt is on the Best Seller List.

Although the Israel Lobby is waging a “full court press’ to stop this discussion (the uncritical support for Israel), The toothpaste is out of the tube. And Israel and the Israel Lobby have no one to blame but themselves for finally wearing out their welcome on this issue—the brutal treatment of the Palestinians and theft of land and water in the West Bank.

how can you differentiate razing Arab villages from the total destruction of Jewish life which occured in Shomron and Aza two summers ago ?

Ah, so you’re saying that Ariel Sharon’s government and the nation of Israel he represented committed war crimes in withdrawing from Gaza?? That’s interesting & tells us a great deal about yr own take on things in the ME.

your “Peace” plan only consists of giving up land .

No, it consists of returning land conquered by Israel in order to achieve peace.

If you see it’s not working you decide hey let’s try a new and novel ways to make “Peace”, give up more land, more land more land and more land.

No, that’s what YOU characterize as my position. What my real position IS is that Israel must return most of the land it conquered in 1967, no more and no less. Since this option has never been tried before there is no such thing as “if you see it’s not working.” A return to 67 borders have never happened so it’s never “not worked.”

the only language Arabs understand is force. Violence and force is currency in the Arab world

Looks like we have Danny Pipes, Jr. posting here. What tired old cliches you spin. Arabs don’t “understand” force. Palestinians haven’t understood it for the 40 yrs Israel has used that method to bludgeon them into submission.

how damaging your “progressive” plans have been the Israel and the Jewish people.

Actually, the views of liberal Jews advocating peace will SAVE Israel, not destroy it. YOUR views on the other hand are what lead to the endless killing of Jews and Arabs.
