In my more inflammatory moments I have argued that the hard right in Israel are the true anti-Semites, so damaging to Israel and to any possibility of peace are their actions.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-84940460791244629412010-06-17T18:01:16.177-07:002010-06-17T18:01:16.177-07:00My apologies; I should have said grandfather.

For a country headed for demographic self-destruction, that's not a good place to be in. <br /><br />I remember one other story about Ben Gurion. When Israeli forces captured Hebron in the 1967 war, the local commander phoned Ben Gurion to tell him the news. Ben Gurion's response was, "You've captured it? Good. <i>Now give it back.</i>" That was the voice of sense talking. The present Israeli right-wing is mad with arrogance and entitlement, and thinks it can get away with anything. Sooner or later, if they go on the way they are going, the world will be cheering for their destruction.sunsinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-29762761728200878762010-06-17T01:36:44.224-07:002010-06-17T01:36:44.224-07:00Yes, Dan, it would indeed be a terrible thing if s...Yes, Dan, it would indeed be a terrible thing if someone who has held public office in various capacities since 1982 were to get a pension.<br /><br />Golda, Frank : This has fuck all to do with being Jewish.<br /><br />Dave : I strongly disagree - see follow-up post.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-64133045509708888012010-06-16T14:39:05.494-07:002010-06-16T14:39:05.494-07:00Please, let's stick to the facts.
