"Messianic Jews"
The people known as ''Messianic Jews'' are actually Christians pretending to be Jews in order to convert Jews to Christianity. Like the ''Jews for Jesus''. The folks Hitch is referring to are religious Jews in Israel in conflict with the Muslims. In fact, Palestine was created in 1920 as a homeland for the Jews by the San Remo Convention ...

More Nonsense
Leave it to Hitchens to disregard the simplest and most reasonable solution to a problem and move on to an inherently racist illiogical one. Why have there been fewer suicide attacks against Israelis? Two primary reasons. 1. Because the Palestinians now have missiles to vent their anger and frustration against a system which oppresses them in ...

foreign policy
It will be interesting to see what Obama's policy on Israel turns out to be. We are waiting.

Re: A permanent solution?
The two state ''solution'' does not seem viable to me. This is due to how much Palestinian land has been absorbed into Israel, to the point that the West Bank and Gaza are divided by a big gulf of Israeli land. I cannot foresee the Israeli public agreeing to return to 1967 borders. Furthermore, sharing Jerusalem would be very difficult; it would ...

Libs angry over Nixon/Allende but silent on Israel/US/Gaza
How come liberals/leftists who denounced US role in Chile in the 70s are silent about US role in aiding Israel to kill Palestinians? In the early 70s, Allende, a Marxist came to power democratically in Chile. He was a friend of Castro and USSR. He was a lowlife anti-American commie. So, Nixon tried to use whatever means--CIA and economic ...

hmmmm. not comfortable with your argument.
is that how you see israelis? as jews? i might be misreading you...and if so, oh well. but to follow that sort of logic: were i alive back during the 30s and 40s, the same criticisms i've been leveling towards israel, i would have been leveling at germany. lutherans are a subset of germans. does that mean i hate lutherans? don't get me ...

Hamas 'Hijacked' Palestine
The dear author has taken the view, that Hamas has somehow effected a coup within Palestine, when in fact they were democratically elected in 2006. Unfortunately this also is a meme widely proffered by the talking heads of the Israeli PR machine. How else to deal with the Palestinians? - we cannot talk to Hamas they are ... <insert fearsome ...

Oh and btw
..while I'm here telling you off...let me not FAIL to mention your headline Mr. Hitchcock. I mean, Hitchens. Declaring Gaza a moral failure before Palestine is even a state, before even this latest Crusade against Palestine and all of Islam is over....is a definite indicator of your true worth as a commentator. How utterly repugnant to think ...

For Israel - other countries *do* have enemies too
Emily Yoffe is unfortunately not paying attention to the history of other countries besides Israel. Her example of Pakistan is actually an example testifying against her position. India has consistently challenged its right to exist, fired rockets into it, sent its military aggressively to its borders, and demonized its religion; Indian ...

Three State Solution?
How would John Bolten's proposal for a three-state solution solve the Israeli-Palestinian fight? The Palestinian push for statehood took off after Israel annexed Gaza and the West Bank in 1967. It may have been born out of Israeli occupation but has been recognized by multiple U.N. resolutions and most nations as a legitimate nationalist ...
