Israel's Jewish Defamers

Submitted by FinanceDoc, Nov 25, 2007 15:28

Tony Judt is an "anachronism" — a man who despite his doctorate, has obviously learned nothing from history.

Jewish anti-Zionists represent the triumph of wishful thinking over bitter reality. Their worldview can be summed up in the words of John Lennon's "Imagine":

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Perhaps one day, man will evolve beyond the need for nation-states and armies to protect human rights, freedom of faith and expression, life and property. That day is not here. And while 22 Arab Muslim countries bay for Israel's destruction, the anti-Zionists want Israel to be the "light unto nations" that volunteers to surrender her borders. Otherwise known as committing national suicide.

As we used to say when dared to take a dangerous plunge by a taunting playmate: "you first."
