Comments on: Israel's Success Fuels Arab Hatred

NRO: Arab Hatred Of Israel A Symptom, Not Malady, Of Crisis

[feelfree1]

JacobsTruth,

Your fascistic scare-mongering does not seem to be very effective anymore, beyond the PNAC bobble-heads and Israeli apologists.

Iran is nowhere near being the biggest threat to be and to Americans in general. The greatest threat resides in our illegitimate pResident, his appeasers, and the lapdogs and apologists of Israeli State-terorism.

[jacobstruth]

President Ahmedinajad has written an open letter to President Bush threatening, or at least claiming, that Islam will replace democracy (by Islam of course he means his own version of world power). No media outlet or any leader at the UN has asked Iran%u2019s leader to comment on this or other threats, comments or visions.
It is no secret that the Iranian leader believes in bringing on the end of times so as to hasten the return of the Twelfth Imam %u2013 in his latest speech at the UN he stated openly his prayer for the %u201Creturn of the most perfect one%u201D.
Yet the media never asked Iran%u2019s leader about his visions. No leader or media personality asked him if he subscribes to Khomeini%u2019s doctrine, which dictates the destruction of the Western world. --

Many Israeli apologists are trying their best to frighten the American public into feeling threatened by Iran.

Fortunately, it is not working.

The American people are coming to realize that the greatest threat to our "freedom" and "democracy" comes from our own misleaders.

We will not be fooled into supporting paranoid and shameful "interests" of the extremist Israeli leadership.

[jacobstruth]

Ahmadinajad is currently conducting psychological warfare which is usually the precursor to actual war. Sadly there is no counter offensive to these attacks. The Israelis themselves have no eloquent leaders to speak up at the UN. Nor does the US have leaders to confront the attacks that vilify American society and democracy. Perhaps if Reagan did not take on the Soviet regime with courage and articulate language the Cold War might not have ended as it did. I rather believe that the ex-communist countries would look today more like North Korea. The dictatorships and the terror would have most likely continued until an outside force would intervene. A revolution would have been no more likely than in Cuba, Korea, Iraq or Iran.

[jacobstruth]

Ahmadinajad and others may or may not know that Zion to Jews is the same asMecca to Muslims. To be a Zionist is really not much different than for a Moslem to adhere to the belief that Mecca is the spiritual center of Muslims. A reporter may ask the Iranian dictator if Muslims have more right to claiming Mecca as their religious center then Jews have to claiming Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Ahmadinajad demands the deportation of the Jews from Israel "back" to Europe. An interviewer may also ask: should the Jews who came from the Arab world (and Persia) %u2013 about half of the Jews in Israel %u2013 also be sent to Europe? These and other crucial questions fail to be brought to light to confront the dictator of Iran. Thus far he has the upper hand simply because there are no responses to his vicious attacks. - -- see more at Groundreport http://www.groundreport.com/articles.php

The same economic insecurity and misplaced sense of injustice reigned over Nazi Germany in the years prior to WWII. In today%u2019s scenario megalomaniacs like Mahmud Ahmedinajad and Hugo Chavez are craving to capture the vacuum of discontent in order to elevate themselves to the irresistible pinnacles of world power. Hitler made the same efforts to stir his people to fury against what he called the slaughter of Germans in Poland and in Czechoslovakia and the conspiracies of the Jews and the West. This was the fuel needed to move the German people and others into the belligerent state Hitler coveted.

The same script is played out today with propaganda about Muslims being %u201Cslaughtered%u201D in Iraq and in Palestine. Often the Arab leaders talk about Islam being under attack and Muslims abused all over the world. Yet the same enraged Islamic leaders seem to have no problem with Muslims slaughtering one another in Iraq or the genocide in Darfour. In the minds of those who fall for the propaganda of Islamic Fundamentalists it is the Americans who commit slaughter. The fact that it is in the US%u2019 greatest interest to bring security and prosperity to Iraq is of no consequence to dictatorial logic.

The Arab and Muslim world has experienced immense population growth, far greater than its economic growth. As a result millions of young unemployed are suffering. Thus far the main outlet for this suffering seems to be hatred and blame. It would be beneficial and constructive for populations both in the West and in the Arab and Muslim world to discuss the significance of high population growth combined with low education and limited economic growth. In the Arab and Muslim world the failures of the states and the economies is blamed on the West instead of demographics and lack of investment. The belief that the West is the cause of the misery and poverty in Muslim countries is so widespread that it might have reached a point of no return. -- see more at Groundreport http://www.groundreport.com/articles.php?cid=&id=77

JeffHorow,

Re: "To claim that Israel is an "aggressor state" is just plain stupid."

Really? Israel is brutally occupying land that does not belong to them, routinely murders civilians- mostly women and children, has a chronic history of employing "human shields" (see Israeli Supreme Court Decision of October, 2005), stands in violation of a slew of U.N. Security Council Resolutions, constantly threatens/attacks their neigbors, and has a substantial stockpile of WMD, including nukes.

It does not appear that you are very well informed on this issue. Israel is a failing State, on life support, and they will likely collapse when the billions and billions of dollars of U.S. tax dollar welfare payments come to an end.

Most of the world will breath a sigh of relief when that happens.

[jeffhorow]

I think Mr. Hanson has it right. It's simple envy of the success of Israel that has the Arabs steamed. In the hundreds of years that there was no Israel before 1948, the land was never as developed, nor was it a thriving democracy and economic force as it is today.

To claim that Israel is an "aggressor state" is just plain stupid. They have to defend themselves daily against idiotic suicide bombers and hateful rhetoric that merely serves to keep the Arabs empowered in power and the poor Arabs impoverished.

The best lesson to be learned is "Leave the Jews alone." If the Syrians, Palestinians, Jordanians, Saudis, Iranians, etc. etc. would leave tiny little Israel alone, they could concentrate on their own problems. They don't even need to establish relations with Israel, if they don't want. Just leave them alone. Eventually, the Jews will assimilate and be gone. That should satisfy all the bigots, Aryans, Arabs, and dimwits in the world.

bluestardad,

Re: "GOD Bless Isreal and America!"

If she does, then she clearly sides with the terrorists.

If there was a God, why wouldn't she bless everyone?

[bluestardad]

GOD Bless Isreal and America!

[getcentered]

Why the NRO continues to publish this type of garbage is beyond me. I would like to inform the writer of the opinion, Victor Davis Hanson, that fighting in Palestine has gone on for MANY HUNDEREDS OF YEARS. To pick a side and say one is right or wrong is like picking one of the gods of the religions used to exploit the populations involved in the current conflicts there. The leaders of the communities in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict are like many of the leaders in the US; they are old and out of touch.


Like the our neo-con leaders who started the war in Iraq, the leaders of Palestinians and Israeli are NOT LOOKING FOR PEACE, THAY WANT TO "WIN".

[feelfree1]

Israel is a failing-State, which depends on terrorist aggression against their neighbors, and billions upon billions of U.S. taxpayer welfare payments, every year, for its survival.

All Arabs are "Semites". Apologists for the failing theocracy of Israel don't seem to understand this.

I am not an Arab, but I look forward to the eventual and inevitable collapse of the Israeli-terror-State. Israel was a bad idea to begin with, and the Israelis have become their own worst oppressors ever since its establishment.

Good riddance!
