Why does the Left Hate Israel?

[Warph]

There was a time not all that long ago when most of us agreed about what constituted good and evil.  But that time, I'm afraid, has come and gone and is now as passé as five cent cigars and 45 cents-a-gallon gasoline.

Our former sense of morality hasn't been replaced by immorality, at least not entirely, but by something that's probably more dangerous because it comes cleverly disguised as broad-mindedness. 

Those in the mass media and academia ridicule people who still believe there are nations, values and cultures, that are superior to others, and they regard those Americans who have the boldness and audacity to disagree with them as yokels, super patriots and religious hypocrites.  The elitists trumpet moral equivalency as an ideal.... and yet, time and time again, they display their own double standards.  The same folks who were so upset about Bush's time in the Air National Guard and his early problems with ol' Jack Daniel's and a few snorts of blow at Yale aren't the least put out by Barack Hussien Obuma's avoidance of MILITARY SERVICE and his admitted use of the illegal drugs, maryjane and cocaine.  Apparently even moral equivalency doesn't exist if one of the parties is a Republican and the other is a Democrat.

More recently, we had Barack Hussien Obuma's insisting that Israel's taking steps to defend itself against the constant missile attacks from Hamas is as inexcusable as the attacks, themselves.  But then what can you expect from a narcissistic nut case who kept insisting that Iran wasn't worth worrying about and that the Jews should seriously consider giving up half of Jerusalem to people who insist that any piece of real estate they covet is a holy Islamic city? 

Those on the left regard themselves as the moral, as well as intellectual, superiors of those on the right because they claim to see shades of gray whereas conservatives see only black and white. 

The problem is that most things are black and white, and the inability to realize that doesn't suggest clearer vision.... but only lack of courage and conviction which, I might add, the left knows NOTHING about.  So, while those on the right are convinced that capitalism, for instance, is better than communism, marxism and socialism, and have no problem saying as much, liberals go around parroting sound bites.  Hell, they would have you believe that Guantanamo is the same as Buchenwald, Bush is the same as Hitler, and that the members of the U.S. military are either the same as storm troopers, in the words of Dick Durbin, or merely uneducated suckers, according to Massachusetts clown, John Kerry.

It is not the height of sophistication to insist, as left-wingers do, that modern day Judaism and Christianity are no better than Islamic fundamentalism when the Islamists are blowing up school buses and pizza parlors, flying jet planes into skyscrapers and beheading innocent human beings, to suggest that these blood-thirsty Neanderthals are the moral equals of Christians and Jews is not only absurd, it's an evil slander of religious people who have never done anything wrong, and who are guilty of nothing worse than worshipping a God whose name doesn't happen to be Allah.

Furthermore, when leftists claim that Israel is no better than its enemies, they are not merely mistaken, they are LYING and, what's more, they know it.  After all, Israel is a western-style democracy.  They don't go in for honor killings.  They don't go in for suicide bombings.  They don't bestow honors on people who bash in the heads of little children. They even allow Israeli Arabs to vote and to hold elected office.  What's more, Israel is the only real ally America has in the Middle East, no matter how many bribes we pay out to the Arab world and no matter how much lip service our politicians pay to the likes of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Whenever I hear someone claim that he's not an anti-Semite just because he's always condemning Israel's policies, I know he's lying.  On its worst day, Israel is better than Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and the Palestinian Authority.  When a nation of five million Jews is surrounded by 150 plus million enemies who, day in and day out, plan and pray for its extermination, only a confirmed Jew-hater would insist that it's Israel that must be reined in.

In conclusion, let me just say that moral equivalency may be a lot of things, but moral isn't one of them.

Couldn't have said it better!

Thank you.

What a silly post.  Flawed logic abound.  Now i can see why you choose to copy articles and post them here instead of writing them yourself.

[larryJ]

Would you mind pointing out the "flawed logic" to us?  Usually if Warph posts something written or said by someone else, he will give a quote source.  If he does not include a source then he is expressing his opinion about something and does not require any slams from you.  It is still a free country and we all can say what we want.  If you don't like something that was posted here, then back up your comments with facts or don't comment at all.

I'll show the facts when i have time, but Warph's post contains no facts either.  He expressed his opinion and i expressed mine.  Like you said, free speech and all that.

Sure it does. Fact 1, the leftist liberals screamed for 8 years about bush's National Guard service and I can't count how many times i heard about President bush doing coke.  Yet they give ole obama a free pass on all that.   

Fact 2.  Obama is tthrowing the israelis out to the wolves by trying to shackle them from defending themselves. Its not even a fair fight to have nations jump on a nation of only 8 million people.
Thats like the rest of this country jumping on the state of Georgia.

Isreal can, and has been able to fend for itself.  They don't have 8 nations trying to destroy them, there are only 3 reasonable threats, syria, lebanon, and the palestinians, and the armed forces of these coutnries, even combined, are a big joke.

Defending themselves isn't the problem.  The problem is obama condemning israel for defending themselves. 

[Anmar]

I don't understand, what has Obama condemned that can be classified as Isreal defending itself?
