McCarthy asks why Fatah doesn't shred its constitution and recognize Israel...He knows the answer--he just doesn't want you to know it-- the Palestinians will not recognize the existence of the Zionist entity unless that recognition comes with the recognition of a Palestinian State by Israel.

If anyone is "backward" it is not the persistent Palestinian freedom fighters,it is McCarthy, a Neo-Con hack writing for the NATIONAL REVIEW--which has become a regular kennel for these creatures. If you read the FATEH document that is has quoted, you will note that it attacks Zionism--not the religion of Israel, which is its polar opposite--and quite rightly points out that Zionism is connected with imperialism, colonialism and racism.

There is one thing on which I agree with McCarthy, our money is squandered on Fatah. But, it is a paltry sum compared to the hundreds of billions that we have squandered on the Zionist state.

to gkc99,

Besides, dude, if I wanted to say something about Jews, I would say it straight.

Now could the pro Israel lobby have paid? Perhaps, but that doesn't mean "Jews", since not all who advocate for Israel are "Jews"...

to gkc99,

Let me clarify. There are professional advocacy organizations who are paid to appear in media, on tv, and, in the internet age, on blogs. These groups may or may not believe in the position they advocate, they are simply being paid to do so. Some even pay people to "troll" or to post deliberately hostile material that they can then "combat" for the benefit of their clients. Like an ad agence, they might advertise a product even though none of them actually use it.

Is it possible a Palestinian group could pay a MsCarthy to write his article so they have fodder to show their followers? Yes, it is very possible.

Therefore I don't suggest any group in particular, only that from whoever might have paid for it, I hope it was good compensation.

By the way, is it possible some of the anti Semitic propaganda we have all been soaked in may have subconsciously led to your assumption?

Brianbwb:

You said:
It seems they also control your mind, I trust you were paid well for it..."


I thought you mean "they" were the Jews. If not, to whom were you referring? I mean, the idea that Jews are subversives who buy support is pretty much part of the stereotype, no?

If you didn't mean "the Jews", your post was unclear.

to closethippy,

You are probably right, Abbas is a marked man. His soon to be fatal mistake is the same one Saddam made, he trusted the Americans in power to protect him, but as any Native American could have told him, "bad idea, dude".

Sorry to say that because of people like him, the struggle for Palestinian sovereignty will take longer, and be bloodier, for he will have to eliminate the majority of people who don't want to be the US's "friend" after decades of favoritism to the other side. As a result, any agreements between Israel, the US, and Abbas will not have the mandate or support of the Palestinian people, unless it addresses without exception all of the grievances of the Palestinians.

As a Christian, I think we should bomb anyone who isn't.

to gkc99,

I also see a difference between "Israel" and "Jews". I believe I can criticize what I see as occupation and subjugation of a people by Israel, and those who truly listen with a rational mind will know I am not criticizing "Jews", just as I can criticize the right wing "Christians" in the US without being accused of criticizing Christianity.

Unless those who hear me cannot tell the difference between a state and a religion.

Apparently, going by his statement, Sharon could not, as also many "anti Semitophobes" cannot, so they exacerbate a problem where none should actually exist
