Talking about genocide in ethereal, transcendental spurts alluding to the nobility of Western and Judaic morality certainly inflates and strokes the ego and crowns oneself with the righteousness to which one supposedly aspires. But the reality is always the powerful wind that blows about the myopic bubbles puffed forth by the likes of Rosner, ...

Samuels Is a "Double Agent" for Israel
What would move an American to support a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran which would inevidably draw American forces in either the line of fire in Iran's two neighboring states of Afghanistan and Iraq, or draw Americans into open military conflict with Iran? America has experienced over 30,100 casualties in Iraq 4,100 dead. ...

Straight Talk About Israel
Mr Rosner does really invoke TRUTH regarding Israeli US relations. Instead, he calls for downplaying them. Why? Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed? After 1948, Israel was an modern independent nation with its own foreign policy agenda which included expansion and inclusion of the ancient ...

Israeli Fearmongering for Selfish Interests
Apparent fearmongering to excite American sympathy and increased American 'aid' to Israel. This is a classic tactic: gain sympathetic action in support of Israel because of: 1)the Holocaust; or 2)Israel's a democracy; 3)The barbarian darkies are threatening to storm the gates of Westerners (Israelis) in the Holyland; 4)look, the barbarian Muslims ...

Bin Laden, Islam, and Numerology
If you account for Leap Years, this coming Tuesday is the first Tuesday September 11th since Tuesday September 11th, 2001. Is there any significance to Tuesdays in General or do Islamic sects practice numerology as any part of their prescribed religious beliefs? One other significant number that comes to mind is that this is the sixth ...

Re: The Original Sin
Yet more proof (minus the inane economics lesson from others here), that this is country not worthy of any further material or financial sacrifice. Its time for Israel to put on its pants and make do for itself. They are not a cause worth supporting or dying for. They need to solve their problems themselves!

A big waste of ........
Tax dollars and political capital. Israel. I as an citizen am tired of this support for the most destablizing influence in the world beside Iran. It is time for Israel to put up on its own without my tax dollars for their benefit. Neither the Israelis or the Arabs deserve any further support. I want oil from the mid east and I want Israel to ...

Good question, but irrelevant
Overall on interesting article, however, the author falls into the same trap that he excoriates others for. While it is important to ask how the world would be different if the United Nations and other members of the International Community had acted responsibly, this also is an relevant question. The International Community did not act ...
