When the American venture in the Middle East goes sour, as it surely will within 15 years, someone here will find it politically profitable to blame the Jews for it, and there will be similacrum of proof for it. In fifteen years the children and nieces and nephews of holocaust victims and survivors will be dead; that memory will of course survive, but it wll survive as literature, not living memory. Let’s hope that American civil liberties, which people like Chertoff are working hard to dismantle, will still be strong enough to defend his descendants when the storm comes, as it surely will. It’s FUBAR beyond belief what’s happening.

Israel’s blockade of Gaza is ccriminal and genocidal. The Palestinian plight is the result of the same kind of hatred that led to the holocaust under Hitler. The horrors of the holocaust do not justify the present evil perpetrated by Israel.

The United States is the most evil nation in the world right now. We have created more evil with our foreign and domestic policies than any other current government. There is nothing anti-americanism is stating this, and there is no anti-semitism in criticizing the government of Israel. It is truly sad that every Democratic presidential candidate has to stand before AIPAC and pledge militry support for a government that justifies a continuing persecution of so many people.

Of course, when former President Jimmy Carter calls the behavior of the Israeli government “apartheid,” there is a quick response of anti-semitism. There will be possibility of justice as long as truth is hidden behind the weak-willed politicians that have allowed the USA to sink to such depths.

Thanks for speaking up.

Open criticism and scorn of Israel seems to be a trend lately. Even here at the Lake. The public outing of AIPAC by Mearshimer and Walt may have had affected the public’s image of Israel. Israel is an aparthied State, and the sooner the Israelis and the rest of the world recognize that, the better for the Middle East. This site may soon be pilloried by the Anti Defamation league as being a source for antisemitic discourse.

I’ve also been a Jew your whole life, and an anti-Zionist longer than that, but what’s that got to do with enjoying an occasional foolish assault on the disgusting regime running Iran?

the

complicated mess

is our own creation because we refuse to face the issues with integrity resorting instead to misrepresentations and mythologisations. There were at least 20m people who perished under the nazis - 14m of them were not jews.
