GOLDBERG, GOLDSTONE, Goldhagen, Goldfinger – all are right and all are wrong.

October 24, 2009

It’s not complex. When you have just 5m Israeli Jews, sitting in just 20,000 sq km on the eastern Mediterranean, intent on influencing the foreign policy of the entire global population of 6.5 billion people, over one billion of whom are Muslim, in nearly two hundred countries, and in part, succeeding – they you have a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The state of Israel needs to recognize who and what she really is, and those who support her – in preference to their own countries of residence – need to step back and reflect and what sort of world they are trying to achieve for their children and grandchildren. That future will be a world of nuclear conflict, brought about by unthinking men who mistakenly thought that they were doing good and helping to crystallize a biblical prophecy, and in doing so would ensure their place in heaven.

How extraordinarily naive can otherwise sophisticated, educated people be, to be working towards such a tragic future?

Kris Murdering four Israeli settlers: "savage brutality"; murdering 1400 Gazans: "disproportionate force". This is how the U.S. views the Middle East.
