Leftoids hate Israel...big surprise [link]

I made the mistake of listening to part of the Tavis Smiley show on Friday. The first guest firmly put the blame on Hezbollah. The comments of this [epithet deleted] woman, Phyllis Bennis a New Internationalism fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, blamed the whole problem on Israel. She said that all Hezbollah had done was make a "border skirmish" with Israel and that these happen all the time without war resulting. However, the Israeli military had this war plan prepared (they had it for several years) and decided to use it. The existence of the war plan was proof to her that Israel was merely using the Hezbollah attack as a pretext for war.

Frakking whore! Every responsible military has war plans. But she made it sound sinister. I put a link in so you can listen to the broadcast.

Here is a bio of the bitch:

Phyllis Bennis, fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, specializing in Middle East and United Nations issues. She is the author of Before and After: U.S. Foreign Policy and the September 11th Crisis (Olive Branch Press, 2002), Calling the Shots: How Washington Dominates Today’s UN, second edition (Olive Branch Press, 2000), and From Stones to Statehood: The Palestinian Uprising (Olive Branch Press, 1990). She has also co-edited, with Michel Moushabeck, Beyond the Storm: A Gulf Crisis Reader (1991) and Altered States: A Reader in the New World Order (1993), both published by Olive Branch Press. Her new book, Challenging Empire: How People, Governments, and the UN Defy U.S. Power, is published by Interlink.

I highlighted that last sentence. Defy US power, huh? How about defying all the aid we give when a natural disaster strikes? How about defying aid when we try to stop genocide in a third world country...oh...they already DO that!

I was disgusted by this woman's comments. Blame Israel! Blame the US! But at least I know where the leftoids and the nutroots stand. And America's Jews will continue to support the Democrat party even as it tries to look the other way as the world hopes for a new holocaust.
