Order Cheap Soma Online

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

The good people of Ameinu Order cheap soma online, have posted what is, in their words, "perhaps THE seminal article in response to the anti-Zionist Left, written by Amos Kenan in 1968. Mr Kenan recently passed away - but he leaves us this important piece."

It was written before it was clear that Israel would be ruling over another people and building roads for Jews only and implementing other policies that people like me complain about, before the post-'67 occupation became an entrenched, maddeningly self-perpetuating phenomenon. The "left" he describes was still dominated by the authoritarian left (Soviets, Cubans) but the sentiments he identifies, and the thorough demonization of all things Israeli, are painfully familiar. What it comes down to was a widespread refusal to accept not only Israel's existence, but also the humanity of even Israelis in the left-wing opposition. That is also the worst thing about too many people in the current incarnation of the anti-Israel far left: they deny me my humanity, they cannot accept the fact that someone who cares as much about social justice as they do can feel a connection to Israel, warts and all, cheapest soma prices, and will defend the notion of a Jewish homeland.

There is much to mull over in this article, too many allusions and arguments to sum up glibly, order cheap soma online. For me, the most memorable aspect is rather simple: a die-hard Israeli leftist who opposed the Zionist orthodoxy of his day understood that Israel WAS threatened with destruction, and --except for the Americans --no one seemed especially concerned about it. That perspective is denied and mocked by the current, increasingly fashionable anti-Israel narrative, which wrongly blames Israel for every war it has fought and every enemy combatant it has killed. One sees here, in poignant detail, an agonized version of the seige mentality that still controls Israeli decisionmaking, haunting someone who would have given up the territories in a second, Soma kopen, but for the threats and the terrible international isolation.

Here it is, in full without further commentary (it's a bit long, so be patient and wade through it):

A Letter to all Good People

By Amos Kenan
I am for Cuba. Order cheap soma online, I love Cuba. I am opposed to the genocide perpetrated by the Americans in Vietnam. But I am an Israeli, therefore I am forbidden to take all these stands. Cuba does not want me to love her. Someone has decided that I am permitted to love only the Americans. I don't mind so much that someone, especially the good people everywhere, have decided to outlaw me, order cheap soma online. I shall be able to get along without their help. But I do mind that I am not permitted any longer to love and hate according to my feelings, and according to my political and moral inclinations, and that I am refused invitation or even admittance to parties held by the good people, soma without prescription. I am not permitted any longer to toast justice with a glass of champagne. I am not permitted to eat caviar and denounce the Americans. Order cheap soma online, I am not permitted to stroll in the sun-drenched streets of Havana, arm-in-arm with my erstwhile good friends from St. Germain, Via Veneto and Chelsea, and celebrate the memory of Che Guevara, casting a threatening look at imperialism. I am also finally and absolutely forbidden to sign petitions of all sorts for human rights.

This situation drives me slightly out of my mind. Therefore I wish to relate a few confused, disconnected stories. Perhaps some good man will find the connection, order cheap soma online. One day an Israeli submarine sank in the Mediterranean with its 69 crew members. Oklahoma OK Okla. , Its SOS was answered, among others, by the British, Turkish and Greek fleets. The Russian navy, which cruised very close to the location, did not join in the search. Moscow radio, in its Arab broadcasts, took the trouble to denounce the countries whose ships rushed to help the lost submarine. Order cheap soma online, It is a sacred principle of seamen of all nations to hasten to the aid of distressed vessels. The Israeli submarine was not on a war mission, and Israel is not in a state of war with the Soviet Union.

I am not so naive as to believe that this is anti-Semitism, Maryland MD Md. , Soviet style. I have never believed that the Russians are guided, in their calculations, by such powerful and sincere emotions as anti-Semitism, which is common to both progressive and reactionary camps. I know that the Russians conduct a cool and considered pragmatic policy, and are guided by clear political considerations. This was a political move, carried out as a part of a political game, order cheap soma online. The meaning of this move can only be: Israel must be isolated from the civilised human community. The rules that apply to the civilised community, rules of honour, consideration and mutual aid, Cheap soma online cheap, do not apply to me. I am out. There is only one more step to the conclusion: the shedding of my blood is no crime. Order cheap soma online, Forgive my brutal way of putting things. I cannot conceive of it otherwise. If this was a move in a game, the game must have an object. The object is the penetration of the Middle East, and let us assume, for the sake of arguments, that this is for the purpose of advancing world revolution and the overthrow of imperialism. The Middle East contains 100m. Arabs and 2.5m, order cheap soma online. Israelis. But it is not so easy, soma no prescription, in our enlightened world, to wipe out 2.5m. people. A reason, and a justification, are needed. Order cheap soma online, You cannot wipe out just like that. First of all you must outlaw. Therefore you must not invite an Israeli communist party to a convention of communist parties. Therefore you must not invite a leftist Israeli author to a conference of leftist authors in Havana. There are no more class distinctions. There are only national distinctions, order cheap soma online. Even an Israeli leftist is an imperialist. Nevada NV Nev. , And an oil sheikh is a socialist. Therefore it is permissible to compare me to the Nazis. It is permissible to call me a Gauleiter. Order cheap soma online, It is permissible to mobilize all of the world's conscientious people against me—and without them you cannot do it—and all this because there is an object looming beyond the horizon, an object for the sake of which this tactic is justifiable and useful.

Until quite recently, I also belonged to the Good People. Meaning that not only did I sit in cafes and sign petitions for the release of political prisoners in countries not my own, not only did I join proclamations, after sipping my aperitif, for the release of the downtrodden from the yoke of imperialism in places I shall never reach; I also did something against what seemed to me to be oppression and injustice in my own country. During the 20 years of the existence of the State of Israel I helped with my pen, in my regular newspaper column, the fight against the injustices committed against the Arab minority. And not by the pen only, soma online kaufen, but also in demonstrations, and also when arraigned before a military tribunal. I am used to being called a traitor by local patriots, order cheap soma online. During the Six Day War, in June 1967, the battalion I served in was ordered to supervise the demolition of four Arab villages: I considered it my duty to desert from my unit, to write a report of this action, and to send the copies to the General Staff of the army, to members of the government and to Knesset members. This report has been translated and circulated in the world as a proof of Israel's crimes.

But permit me to conclude the story. The action I undertook was in flagrant violation of any military law. Order cheap soma online, I have no idea what would have happened to a Red Army soldier were he to violate national and military discipline in such a manner. Comprare soma sconto, After returning to my unit, I was ordered to present myself—I, in rank a private—before the general commanding all the divisions on that front. He told me that he had read my report, and considered it his duty to inform me that what had occurred was a regrettable error, which will not recur. Deep in my heart I disbelieved his statement that this was only a mistake. I was convinced that whoever ordered such an action did not expect such resistance from within—the men of my battalion refused to carry out the order—and was alarmed at the impression such an action might create abroad. But I was glad that he found it necessary to announce that this was only an error, order cheap soma online. I asked him how he intended to ensure that the 'error' will never recur. On the spot he signed an order permitting me free movement in all occupied territories, so that I could see with my own eyes that such an action had not recurred.

But since then, in all the peace-papers in the world, generic soma, my report about the destruction of villages has been reprinted over and over again, as if it happened only yesterday, as if it is happening all the time. And this is a lie. Order cheap soma online, It is like writing that witches have been burnt at the stake in England—omitting the date. I hereby request all those who believed me when I reported a criminal act, to believe me now too. And those who do not believe me now, I hereby request to disbelieve my former report too, and not to believe me selectively, according to their convenience. I should also add that the town of Kalkiliya, Price of soma, which began to be demolished during the writing of my report, is now in the process of being rebuilt, after the expelled inhabitants have been brought back.

This does not mean that other injustices are not perpetrated now. The less you fight me, the more you would help me fight them, order cheap soma online. Even the most leftist of men will not consent to be slaughtered when a sword is pointed at his throat. Even when the sword is a progressive one, it does not make it any the pleasanter. The trouble is that not a single serious person in the world believes today that Israel was really in danger of being annihilated. This is the optical illusion of 1968. Order cheap soma online, The gigantic Goliath is threatening little David. The fact that Goliath is a giant, and that David is small, is only an optical illusion. If Goliath triumphs and tramples David under his feet, cheap soma online, it is a sign that he really is a giant. But if little David beats the giant, people say: the giant David has trampled poor little Goliath in the dust. I claim that Israel played the role of David. And I claim that even now, after the stunning victory, it still is little David who has indeed beaten the stunned Goliath, but Goliath still is a menacing giant, order cheap soma online. Today, no less than in June 1967, Israel is in danger of annihilation. Unless the enlightened world mobilises now, immediately, perhaps it will be too late. But I am afraid that there are not many people in the world today who will be sorry if victorious David is destroyed. South Dakota SD , A bitter suspicion rises in me that even the most enlightened among the most progressive people still adhere to the Christian tradition that they imbibed with their mothers' milk: Jew, stay on the cross. Order cheap soma online, Never get off it. The day you get off the cross and hurl it at the heads of your crucifiers, we shall cease to love you. Today the Arabs boast of waging a revolutionary guerrilla warfare. They claim to have copied the Viet Cong method of warfare and to apply it in the Middle East. They march with Che Guevara's picture. This makes me laugh, order cheap soma online. Just as Che Guevara's picture hanging in the luxurious salons of Montparnasse made me laugh. I have always wondered whether Che Guevara had a picture of Che Guevara hanging in his salon. What is a Viet Cong. The Viet Cong is not white flags on buildings. Order cheap soma online, The Viet Cong means fighting to the last man. The Viet Cong of the Middle East, whether those who demonstrate with Che Guevara's picture like it or not, New Hampshire NH N.H. , are we. We are prepared, at any moment to wage the battle to the death. After the death camps, we are left with only one supreme value: existence.

Our existence today, is inconvenient for those who work at the global balance of power. It is more convenient that there should be two camps, one white, the other black, order cheap soma online. We number, as I said before, only 2.5m. people. Billige soma Apotheke, On the global map, what is the value of a few hundred thousand leftists, opposing the Eshkol government policy and striving for a genuine peace with the Arabs, who strive to liberate themselves from the one-way dependence on American power. Somebody has already decided to sacrifice us. Order cheap soma online, The history of revolution is full of such sacrifices since the days of the Spanish War. At one time world revolution had been sacrificed on the altar of the revolution in one country. Today the calculation is somewhat subtler. Today they try to explain to us that there is an Arab socialism. That there is an Egyptian socialism, and an Algerian socialism. There is a socialism of slave-traders, and a socialism of oil magnates, order cheap soma online. There are all kinds of socialism, all aiming really at one and the same thing—the overthrow of imperialism, which happens to be one and indivisible, buy soma c.o.d.. Once there was only a single kind of socialsm, which fed on principles, some of them moral. On the day that morality died there was born the
particular, conventional socialism, changing from place to place and from time to time, for which I have no other name but National Socialism.

I want to live. Order cheap soma online, What can I do if Russia, China, Vietnam, India, Yugoslavia, Sartre, Russell, Castro, have all decided that I am made all of a piece. It is inconvenient for them to admit that there is an opposition in Israel too. Why should there be an opposition in Israel if in the Popular Democracies in Cuba or Algeria, there is only one party. Soma online kopen, And perhaps they do have pangs of conscience, but they have made their calculation, and found out that I am only one, only 10, only 100,000; and on the other side there are tens of millions, all led like a single man, in a single party, towards the light, towards the sun. And if so, who am I. I will tell you who I am: I am the man who will confuse and confound your progressive calculations, order cheap soma online. I have too much love for this vain world, comprar soma de descuento, a world of caviar, television, sunny beaches, sex and good wine. You go ahead and toast the revolution with champagne. I shall toast myself, my own life, bottle in one hand, rifle in the other. You send Soviet arms to Egypt. Order cheap soma online, You isolate me. And in order to make it easier to isolate me, Soma farmacia a buon mercato, you change my name. My flesh, which you eat, you call fish. You don't want to protect me— neither against the Arabs, nor against the Russians, nor against Dayan or Johnson.

Moreover, when I try to call on you and tell you that I am against Dayan, against Eshkol, against Ben-Gurion, and ask for your help, you laugh at me and demand that I should return to the 4 June borders, Alabama AL Ala. , unconditionally. Hold it, order cheap soma online. I refuse to play this game. If you give me back the pistol with which I tried to kill you, I won't kill you. Because I am a nice fellow. But if you don't give it back to me, I shall kill you, because you are a bad fellow. Order cheap soma online, Why were the 4 June borders not peace borders on 4 June but will become peace borders now. Why were not the U.N. partition plan borders of 1947 peace borders then but will become so now. Why should I return the bandit his gun as a reward for having failed to kill me. Kjøpe soma, I want peace peace peace peace peace peace peace. I am ready to give everything back in exchange for peace, order cheap soma online. And I shall give nothing back without peace. I am ready to solve the refugee problem. I am ready to accept an independent Palestinian state. I am ready to sit and talk. Order cheap soma online, About everything, all at the same time. Direct talks, indirect talks, all this is immaterial. But peace. Until you agree to have peace, I shall give back nothing. And if you force me to become a conqueror, I shall become a conqueror, cheapest soma online. And if you force me to become an oppressor, I shall become an oppressor, order cheap soma online. And if you force me into the same camp with all the forces of darkness in the world, there I shall be.

There is no lack in Israel of rabid militarists. Their number is steadily increasing, the more our isolation becomes apparent. Nasser helps Dayan, Kosygin helps Eshkol. Order cheap soma online, Fidel Castro helps the Jewish chauvinists. Who of the world's giants cares how many more Jews, how many more Arabs, bleed to death in the Sinai sands. There is no lack here of mad hysterical militarists. Order soma, All those quiet citizens who went out to war with K.L.M. handgrips and in laundry trucks, who scribbled on their tanks: 'We want Home' . All those who fought without anger, without hatred, only for their lives, are becoming militaristic, convinced that only Israeli power, and nothing else in the world, will ever help us, order cheap soma online.

The only ones who are prepared to defend me, for reasons I don' t like at all, are the Americans. It is convenient for them, for the time being. You are flinging me towards America, the bastion of democracy and the murderer of Vietnam, who tramples the downtrodden peoples and spares my life, who oppresses the Negroes and supplies me with arms to save myself. You leave me no other alternative, Kentucky KY Ky. . Order cheap soma online, You don' t even offer me humiliating terms, to be admitted through the rear door into the progressive orgy. You don' t even want me to overthrow my government. You only want me to surrender, unconditionally, and to believe the spokesmen of the revolution that henceforth no Jewish doctors will be murdered, and that they will limit themselves to the declaration that Zionism is responsible for the riots in Warsaw.

Very funny. The truth is that I and Sartre, two people with the same vision, more or less, with the same ideal, more or less, and if I may be permitted to impertinence, with the same moral level, more or less, are now at the two sides of the barricade. We have been pushed to both sides by the cold calculations of the people who sent us, or abandoned us, order cheap soma online. But the fact remains—these are not Americans shooting Russians, or capitalists shooting socialists, or freedom-fighters shooting the oppressors. It is I, shooting Sartre. I see him in my gun sights; he sees me in his gun sights. I still don' t know which of us is faster, more skilled, or more determined to kill or be killed. Order cheap soma online, Neither do I know who shall be more lucky—the one who has no other alternative, or the one who acts out of choice. One thing is clear to me; if I survive, I shall mourn Sartre's death more than he would mourn mine. And if that happens, I shall never be consoled until I wipe from under the heavens both the capitalists and the communists. Or they me. Or each the other. Or all destroy all. And if I survive even that, without a god but without prophets either, my life will have no sense whatsoever. I shall have nothing else to do but walk on the banks of streams, or on the top of the rocks, watch the wonders of nature, and console myself with words of Ecclesiastes, the wisest of men: "For the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun."

Friday, May 8th, 2009

A surprising poll Buy cheap viagra free samples online, shows that many Israelis no longer agree with the most simplistic versions of the Zionist narrative.

But perhaps the "Diaspora lag" might not last as long this time, buy viagra free samples c.o.d., Order viagra free samples online legally, both because of the Web and because younger American Jews are more receptive to hearing and absorbing the Palestinian narrative.

Cheap viagra free samples online legally, A total of 47 percent of Israeli Jews believe that Palestinians were expelled from Israel during the 1948 war, with 39 percent saying that "The refugees left due to fear, Colorado CO Colo. , Kjøpe viagra free samples, calls of leaders and expulsion by the Jews," and another 8 percent saying the refugees left due only to expulsion by the Jews, ordering viagra free samples online.

Ordering Viagra Over The Counter

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Ordering viagra over the counter, After years of shamelessly pretending to know what Reinhold Niebuhr wrote and thought when his name came up in conversation, I have taken the trouble to start reading him for the first time. There are two reasons. One is that our President-elect has indicated that Niebuhr has had a profound effect on his thinking.

Andrew J, cheap viagra no prescription. Bacevich noted in the Boston Globe, "Faced with difficult problems, Cheap viagra no rx, conservative evangelicals ask: What would Jesus do. We are now entering an era in which the occupant of the Oval Office will consider a different question: What would Reinhold do, ordering viagra over the counter.

"...Obama has written that he took from reading Niebuhr `the compelling idea that there's serious evil in the world' along with the conviction that evil's persistence should not be `an excuse for cynicism and inaction.' Yet Niebuhr also taught him that `we should be humble and modest in our belief we can eliminate those things.' As a point of departure for reformulating US foreign policy, we could do a lot worse."

But there is another aspect of Niebuhr's thought that has not gotten any attention of late. During World War II and afterwards, online viagra, he was an unapologetic Zionist. That is the second reason why I have started to read him. Order viagra from canada, We live in a time when the entire Zionist enterprise is being reduced by its detractors to a murderous, western colonialism whose main goal was to steal land, rather than to help a people survive. Ordering viagra over the counter, So it is instructive to remember that, during and soon after the Nazi reign of terror, at least some Christians of good conscience believed the Jews needed a homeland in Palestine.

Niebuhr was a man who constantly balanced a passion for justice with an understanding of the power and prevalence of original sin, New Hampshire NH N.H. , which limited the ability of individuals and societies to right wrongs. In summing up his life and thought, Comprar viagra, he wrote "I might define this conviction (that a realist conception of human nature should be made the servant of an ethic of progressive justice] as the guiding principle throughout my mature life of the relation of religious responsibility to political affairs."

Niebuhr's essay, "Jews After the War," (Feb. 21, παραγγείλετε online viagra, 1941, in The Nation) was all about justice:


The problem of what is to become of the Jews in the postwar world ought to engage all of us, Order viagra online cheap, not only because a suffering people has a claim upon our compassion but because the very quality of our civilization is involved in a solution. It is a scandal that the Jews have had so little effective aid from the rest of us in a situation in which they are the chief victims. [DF here: This is 1941, remember, years before the enormity of the Nazis' crimes was clear.] The Nazis intended to decimate the Poles and to reduce other people to the state of helots, but they are bent on the extermination of the Jews.

It is a complicated, nuanced essay and, like all of his work, can't be summed up easily, ordering viagra over the counter. Briefly, his solution was to make it possible for the Jews to have a homeland while ALSO insisting that the civil rights and liberties of Jews in other countries be protected, generic viagra. Was there a concern about the Arabs of Palestine. Yes, Viagra online cheap, up to a point. He noted that the Zionists were "unrealistic in expecting that their demands entailed no `injustice' to the Arab population... Ordering viagra over the counter, It is absurd to expect any people to regard the restriction of their sovereignty over a traditional possession as `just...' What is required is a policy that offers a just solution to an intricate problem faced by a whole civilization." He hoped that the aspirations and needs of Arabs after the war could be addressed in a confederation of new and existing Arab states.

So there was a typical lack of understanding of Palestinian nationalism and, I infer, cheap viagra online without prescription, probably too much faith in the moral grounding of Ben Gurion and the other Zionist leaders. But at a time when liberals (including liberal Protestants) and "progressives" refused to press for an opening of the gates so that Jewish refugees could be rescued, Acquistare a buon mercato viagra, what Niebuhr wanted was the best solution possible in a morally corroded, sinful world.

I wish all of the people who are so quick to dismiss the Zionists as nothing but racist, ethnic cleansers, viagra for sale, and to heap disdain on non-Jewish supporters of the Jewish state in the '40s as blinkered Orientalists, would read that essay. Alaska AK , You can find some it excerpted in Google Books as part of an anthology called Love and Justice (great title!).

In particular, I wish my friend and former classmate Philip Weiss, who brings an admirable moral fervor to his rage at the Israelis and their American Jewish supporters, and who has nothing good to say about Jewish nationalism of any kind, would read it, ordering viagra over the counter. Among other things, it lambastes the "universalists" of Neibuhr's time who refused to accept the value of any ethnic distinctions and believed, even in the midst of World War II, Massachusetts MA Mass. , that the solution to the Jews' problems was to fight discrimination against them and foster their assimilation (Last I heard, Phil was working on a book called The Assimilationist). Order viagra, But now the question is, what would Reinhold have done about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 2009, and what should his admirer in the White House do.

There are many Niebuhr scholars and admirers out there who are a thousand times more qualified than me to speculate, cheap viagra pills. But I believe it is safe to say that he would have been appalled by the consequences of the Israeli occupation that commenced in 1967, at the treatment of Palestinians at checkpoints, Utah UT , at the refusal or inability of Israel's political system to stand up to the settlers who have made most --although not all--of those checkpoints necessary. Ordering viagra over the counter, He also would have been appalled by Palestinian terrorism, the incitement against Jews in the Palestinian media, the election of Hamas and other mistakes made by Israel's neighbors. But since it was a passion for justice that energized him, I believe his primary interest would have been to address the terrible problems of the Palestinian people, just as he was once interested in solving the terrible problems of a ravaged, purchase viagra, dispersed Jewish people.

It is also true, District of Columbia DC D.C. , as Basevich points out, that "Niebuhr specialized in precise distinctions. He supported US intervention in World War II - and condemned the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended that war. After 1945, Texas TX Tex. , Niebuhr believed it just and necessary to contain the Soviet Union. Yet he forcefully opposed US intervention in Vietnam."

In other words, he was...a realistic dove, ordering viagra over the counter. A passionate moderate. Delaware DE Del. , I choose to believe that he would have seen that the only rational, and moral way out of the Israeli-Palestinian nightmare was a two-state solution. And, just as he called for governmental activism on a host of issues --including the civil rights of black Americans--, South Carolina SC S.C. , surely Niebuhr would have called upon the Obama Administration to DO SOMETHING about the Israeli-Palestinian question, even though he might have been skeptical of its ability to succeed. Viagra en ligne afin, The establishment of a Jewish state was a bold idea when he endorsed it. Ordering viagra over the counter, But there were times when he insisted upon boldness that was tempered with realism.

That's what we need from Obama. The boldness needed to stand up to the conventional Israel lobby and press both sides, rather than just one side, buy viagra without prescription, to make difficult compromises. The realism needed to understand that scores of Middle East peace plans and proposals have been consigned to the graveyard for more than a hundred years. And the passion for justice that will persuade him to ignore all of those failures, and try his best.

Order Viagra From Canada

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Order viagra from canada, When discussing Israel, one of the most difficult challenges that confronts passionate moderates like me is criticism that holds the Jewish state to a different moral standard than the one that is used to judge other nation states. By and large, I am suspicious of people who are obsessed with singling out Israel and the Israelis for supposedly immoral behavior, who spend their spare time combing the Internet ONLY for stories of injustice perpetrated by Zionists and then spreading the word about them, viagra cheap.

One common response of Israel's defenders is to ask these people why they aren't spending just as much energy denouncing the Sudanese government for Darfur, or Somalian war lords, Viagra online cheap, or the Lebanese who bombed a Palestinian refugee camp and killed innocent civilians in order to root out Islamic radicals. Horrific things happen in war, according to this argument. The Americans firebombed Dresden and Toyko, Acheter en ligne viagra, look what the Russians did in Chechnya...Why single out Israel.

In general, that argument is appropriate when Israel's attackers are Westerners who have little personal connection to the conflict, and whose arguments are so vituperative that their motives deserve to be questioned, order viagra from canada. It is not hard to detect those who lack all sense of proportion, Ordering viagra no prescription, who have decided that there is something singularly evil about Israel or Jewish self-determination, and who cannot fathom that there are two sides to most of the stories they choose to tell. One wonders where all their rage is coming from. Perhaps it is derived from that portion of the collective unconscious that always blames the JEWS, buy generic viagra. Perhaps it comes from a simple need to hate something or someone, to transfer all wrongs into one, Buy viagra c.o.d., totemic hate object and focus on it to the exclusion of everything else. Order viagra from canada, On the other hand, the argument that "other people do bad things" is not a defense when Israel does them. It makes sense when it is used to call the motivations of reflexively belligerent Israel-bashers into question. It falls apart when it is used to justify Israeli behavior that is simply WRONG.

Last month, Florida FL Fla. , on the Americans for Peace Now web site, Leonard Fein had a great post on the cluster bombs that Israel scattered throughout southern Lebanon in the last 72 hours of the war two years ago. Arizona AZ Ariz. , (See "A Modest Proposal: Pay the Bill to Clear Cluster Bombs," Sept. 8), order viagra from canada. All of the complex, nuanced arguments in the world can't obscure the fact that Israeli military officials took actions that they knew would jeopardize the lives of civilians AFTER the end of an armed conflict, Missouri MO Mo. , in order to stop Hezbollah from becoming entrenched once again. The end was understandable; it did not justify the means. Ohio OH , Fein proposes that Israel pay for the cost of removing the "bomblets" because the UN can't afford it. I won't repeat his arguments. Order viagra from canada, Check them out yourself. For a contrary view, what follows is an essay that Tom Mitchell sent to me, osta alennus viagra. I think he is wrong.

Among other points, Wyoming WY Wyo. , Tom writes: "While..[cluster bombs] may be against international agreements—I’m not an international lawyer—it is a fairly common military strategy used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War and France in Vietnam and Algeria. I contend that Israel should be held to the same standard of conduct as Western democracies in similar situations, and not to the standard of blind compliance with paper agreements that many of the signers had no intention of complying with."

I think his casual dismissal of international law in this case implies that Israel should never be bound by international law, order viagra from canada. His casual acceptance of killing civilians in order to stop the movement of enemy troops when no war is being waged implies that Israel can and should ignore basic standards of human decency. I disagree, lowest price viagra, passionately. Here is his essay:

CLUSTER BOMBS AND MORALITY IN WARFARE
by Thomas Mitchell

Leonard Fein has a rather interesting piece on Israeli use of cluster bombs during the Second Lebanon War and who bears the responsibility for the cost of their cleanup on his “The Conversation” blog at the APN website (www.peacenow.org). Order viagra online, Fein relates that Israel used cluster bombs extensively in Southern Lebanon during the last two days of the war when plans for a ceasefire were imminent. Order viagra from canada, He also claims that the munitions used were older American-manufactured bombs with a much higher failure rate than those experienced with Israeli-manufactured cluster munitions. Fein suggests that this selection was due to cost consideration...I would suggest that price was probably not the main consideration involved, and that deterrence rather than revenge was the proper motive.

Neither Israel nor the United States signed the anti-land mine treaty of the 1990s, generic viagra, as both rely extensively on land mines for defensive purposes. The U.S. Kaufen viagra, Army uses them along the DMZ in Korea to defend against a North Korean invasion. Israel uses them on the Golan and in northern Israel to defend against both invasion and terrorist infiltration, order viagra from canada. From the time of the 1936-39 Arab Revolt, the Zionists/Israelis have used a strategy of reprisal raids against villages and countries hosting, either voluntarily or involuntarily, cheap viagra tablets, insurgents who have infiltrated into the yishuv/Israel. Israel practiced this on a small scale during the Arab Revolt against Arab villages and on a much wider scale from 1953-56 and in 1966-67 and in Lebanon since 1972. Viagra ordine on-line, The idea is to signal to the Arab governments that there is a high price to pay for allowing terrorists to operate from their territory. This same strategy was copied by Rhodesia in 1979 against economic infrastructure targets in Mozambique and Zambia and by South Africa in the 1980s. Order viagra from canada, I would argue that Israel probably deliberately used old cluster bombs as a sort of aerial mine dispersal system so as to deny economic use of swaths of Southern Lebanese territory. Since 1969 Israel has faced a war of attrition from terrorists in Lebanon: first the Palestinians (Fatah, PFLP, viagra online, etc.) and then from 1982-83 from Hezbollah. Both sides in the conflict consider themselves to be fighting a prolonged war of survival. Cheapest viagra online, Fein argues that Israel or its supporters should pay the cost of cleaning up the mines. I argue that cleaning up the mines while the conflict continues is a waste of money as Israel is likely to remine the area as long as Hezbollah continues to act against Israel. One respondent argued that this creation of a cordon sanitaire was a war crime, order viagra from canada. While it may be against international agreements—I’m not an international lawyer—it is a fairly common military strategy used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War and France in Vietnam and Algeria, Kentucky KY Ky. . I contend that Israel should be held to the same standard of conduct as Western democracies in similar situations ,and not to the standard of blind compliance with paper agreements that many of the signers had no intention of complying with. Idaho ID , In a recent three-part PBS program British historian Niall Ferguson, who teaches at Harvard, argued that the Allies won World War II by using the same basic tactics as the Axis powers. Order viagra from canada, The Allied governments argued that the initial use of such prohibited practices as sinking of merchant vessels by submarines without prior warning or bombing of civilian targets by the Axis powers first allowed them to also violate the agreements in a similar fashion. The democracies did not shoot prisoners of war or run death camps (although the Soviets certainly did), cheapest viagra. But copying German submarine tactics allowed the U.S. Navy to win a guerre de corse against the Japanese Empire and the British RAF to mount a bombing campaign against German cities with its inaccurate bombsights. Order viagra overnight delivery, In the Second World War both the British and Soviets felt that they were fighting for their survival (or the survival of their empires) and thus allowed themselves to take measures that they would not normally take. The United States was not even fighting a war of survival but merely a war to avenge Pearl Harbor in the Pacific, order viagra from canada. Similarly Israel feels that it is involved in a struggle for survival against terrorists who do not recognize its right to exist. Average Israelis feel that Arab terrorism allows Israel to use similar methods against those same terrorists and their host governments, even if Jerusalem does not make this same argument out loud, Wisconsin WI Wis. . I argue that Israel should be held to the same standards of practice as France in Algeria, the British in Northern Ireland, and the British and Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. President Bush claimed that the U.S. Order viagra from canada, was involved in a global war on terror (GWOT); Northern Ireland is, and Algeria was, an integral part of a national homeland.

Leftists and pacifists may argue that either war should be outlawed or that multilateral agreements create a “customary law” prohibiting certain activities. I think that Israel should model its conduct after the actual conduct of the leading democracies. This may violate the Biblical principle of “or l'goyim” (a light onto the nations) but it is in line with the Zionist principle of creating an “am kakol ha’amim” i.e. a normal state. The trick is to define the standard of normality according to Western norms, rather than the norms of Israel’s neighbors and enemies. Although, as Niall Ferguson would argue, in a crisis the two meld seamlessly.

Buy Viagra Overnight Delivery

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Buy viagra overnight delivery, There are enemies of everything Israeli who are like the storied Jewish mamas who prefer to suffer in darkness because suffering is more comfortable, suffering –and anger about the past—is what they are used to. That’s the simile that comes to mind as, gasp, Ostaa halvalla viagra, good news rears its unexpected head in the West Bank and in Israel proper.

Ethan Bronner’s piece about the new oasis of cooperation in Jenin in Friday’s New York Times should warm the cockles of anyone with a heart. Normally, any piece about Israel or the territories that appears in the New York Times is greeted immediately with a host of passionate, billiga viagra apotek, cranky bloggers from the Israel-can-do-no-right crowd (as well as the Israel-can-do-no-wrong crowd). It is interesting that, Ordering viagra online without prescription, thus far, the Bronner piece has been greeted mostly with silence.

Due to a number of factors in Jenin, Bronner reports:

“Civilians are planning economic cooperation — an industrial zone to provide thousands of jobs, mostly to Palestinians, and another involving organic produce grown by Palestinians and marketed in Europe by Israelis, buy viagra overnight delivery. Ministers from both governments have been visiting regularly, often joined by top international officials, order viagra online. Israeli Arabs are playing a key role.”

The article notes an infusion of Palestinian citizens of Israel into Jenin and its economy. They are playing the role many had long hoped they would play: a bridge between Israeli Jews and Arabs in the territories. Acheter viagra bon marché, And Bronner gives well-deserved, long-delayed credit to the Jewish and Arab Israelis of Gilboa, a region next to Jenin, whom co-existence advocates cite as a model of Arabs and Jews figuring out how to respect each other’s cultures and build a common future, acquistare a buon mercato viagra. Buy viagra overnight delivery, To his credit, Philip Weiss, normally a harsh critic of mainstream Israeli and American Jews, praised the article and the news it conveyed. But a Google search reveals that, by and large, Billig kaufen viagra, pundits who are hostile to everything connected with Israel are saying…nothing.

I suspect it is a stunned, bewildered silence. Productive cooperation between the occupiers and the occupied, Oregon OR Ore. , and possible models for cooperation between two states, has no place in the worldview of those who think Mahmoud Abbas and his people are “collaborators” and Israeli stooges, Order viagra no prescription, and that peace talks are just “fig leaves” to hide the ongoing colonization that, we are told, is the real motive of the Israelis.

One finds that perspective expressed eloquently on, For viagra online, for example, The Electronic Intifadeh.There, Ordering viagra no rx, even the “Arab Peace Initiative” is judged to be "one terrible example of offering free concessions to the Israeli position without any demand for reciprocation.” One finds it on One State Solution and other sites that attract those who believe that two states are an impossibility, the Israelis have completely colonized the West Bank and precluded the possibility of a viable, contiguous Palestinian state, the only answer is a secular, bestill viagra online, bi-national state. Many of them describe Palestinian citizens of Israel the same way the ultra-right in Israel describes these citizens, i.e, people who cannot possibly be integrated into a majority Jewish state or shape a common destiny with fellow citizens who are Jews, buy viagra overnight delivery.

My purpose here is not to rehash the one-state vs. Buy viagra cod, two-state debate or to castigate all of those who support the former. There are credible arguments for both. It may well be, indeed, Louisiana LA , that it is too late for two states, it is yesterday's solution, Comprare viagra sconto, and supporting it is like pushing for the break-up of Bell Telephone, or a road through a ghost town that was deserted long ago. Buy viagra overnight delivery, I, for one, haven't given up quite yet, in part because there is no practical alternative. But that's a discussion for another time and place. Today, purchase viagra, my purpose is to note the reaction --or lack of reaction—of the Israel-revilers and one-staters when there are glimmers of hope that the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority can work together for the betterment of both peoples. I predict that either the stunned silence will continue, Viagra discount, or that we will see a spate of commentaries about the manner in which Bronner ignored Israel’s “crimes.”

The imperatives of daily life are forcing cooperation and the movement of buyers and sellers from one side of the Green Line to the other side. The same imperatives have prompted Jews and Arabs in Gilboa to defy skeptics and try to create a wholly new kind of Israeli identity.The imperatives of finding an enduring solution are prompting more cooperation between Palestinian and Israeli security forces in the West Bank.

There is at least a chance that what is happening in Jenin and Gilboa can be replicated elsewhere, isn’t there, buy viagra overnight delivery. There is at least a possibility that what has long been the missing link in the peace chain –trust—can be forged, town by town, viagra sale, bit by bit. And it is not unreasonable to believe that such cooperation could be institutionalized if a viable Palestinian state were established, Purchase viagra online, and borders were fixed, with or without security barriers. Yes, we are a long way from moving from here to there, viagra online kaufen. Even one step in the right direction is better than standing still, or reeling backwards. Buy viagra overnight delivery, But the situations in Jenin and Gilboa are discomfiting to those who have convinced themselves that anyone connected with the Zionist entity cannot be trusted, and there is no future for Palestinians living next to –or within-- a majority-Jewish state. Köpa viagra, They don’t know how to cope with the news that Palestinians in what used to be a hotbed of West Bank radicalism are now trying to figure out how to work with, rather than against, their neighbors. They don’t know how to deal with an Israeli cabinet minister like Isaac Herzog, Om viagra online, a Zionist blue blood, who says every Israeli Jewish student should learn the Koran and that real quality of opportunity for all citizens of Israel –not just de jure equality—should be the norm. Pennsylvania PA Penn. , Something very similar happened in 2005, when the Rand Corporation released its fascinating proposal for a contiguous Palestinian state, where cities would be connected in an “arc” and linked by high-speed transportation. I’ve searched news archives to determine the reactions of one-state advocates and other critics of the Oslo process, California CA Calif. . There were a few objections, buy viagra overnight delivery. Mostly, there was silence. Ordering viagra from canada, The idea that a functioning Palestinian state was indeed possible, with enough planning and money and creativity, simply could not be acknowledged, let alone disputed.

It is, apparently, impossible for some to wrestle with –let alone overcome-- the instinct to sit in the dark and the gloom, furious about the past, convinced that mainstream Israeli Jews are constitutionally evil, natural-born oppressors who cannot be trusted. In my community, we are very familiar with this psychology. We encounter it all the time from those who say “the Arabs” will never stop trying to destroy "the Jews," and compares anyone who thinks otherwise to Neville Chamberlain. Meanwhile, in Gilboa and Jenin, real people who live in the real, imperfect, but malleable world have important work to do.

Ordering Viagra No Prescription

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Ordering viagra no prescription, What follows is another guest column from Tom Mitchell. As he notes in the first line, those who advocate a single, Billig viagra apotek, "secular" binational state in what is now Israel and the Palestinian territories often cite Northern Ireland and South Africa as examples of countries that resolved deep-seated ethnic conflicts and forged one, common nation. He analyzes the nature of the "power-sharing" in those two countries and concludes that, for a number of reasons, φτηνές φαρμακείο viagra, they don't offer the lessons some hope that they offer.

The standard disclaimer applies: the views expressed in the article below do not necessarily reflect those of the Realistic Dove. Ordering viagra, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISRAEL/PALESTINE, NORTHERN IRELAND
AND SOUTH AFRICA: COMPARATIVE
READINESS FOR POWER SHARING

By Thomas Mitchell

Introduction

Northern Ireland and South Africa are often cited as examples demonstrating that power sharing would work between Arabs and Israeli Jews in a single state. I contend that they demonstrate nothing of the kind, ordering viagra no prescription. This is because the political situation in South Africa is very different from that in Northern Ireland and the Middle East, and it is too early to judge the ultimate success or failure of power sharing in Northern Ireland, buy viagra cheap.

South Africa

In Palestine, Jews and Arabs have always considered themselves to belong to separate national movements. Acquistare a buon mercato viagra, This is as true today as in 1948.

In contrast, the African National Congress (ANC) and its affiliate organizations have always insisted that they are South Africans just like the whites. Ordering viagra no prescription, It was the whites, especially the Afrikaners, who insisted on dealing with the majority in both ethnic and racial terms.

Afrikaners originally saw themselves as a separate nationality from even English-speaking whites and it took almost a century to change this perception, halvalla viagra apteekki. For demographic reasons, the ruling Afrikaner National Party promoted the concept of a white South African nation and began to co-opt English-speaking whites. Discount viagra, By the early 1990s a majority of white South Africans—about three-fourths of English-speakers and about forty to fifty percent of Afrikaners were willing to consider majority rule with protections.

Another major difference: in Palestine, the native liberation movements have embraced “armed struggle” and refused to distinguish among sabotage, guerrilla warfare, Wisconsin WI Wis. , and terrorism. This has produced in turn among the Israelis a greater tolerance of collateral damage to civilian Palestinians when combating this armed struggle, ordering viagra no prescription. A similar process occurred in Northern Ireland involving British security forces collaborating with pro-state loyalist terrorists to combat the Irish Republican Army (IRA). Cheap viagra without prescription, In South Africa, however, the whites’ National Party government was the main practitioner of terrorism, with the ANC eschewing it in favor of sabotage and limited guerrilla warfare, kopen goedkope viagra.

In Israel and the Palestinians territories (and, for that matter, αγοράσετε viagra, Northern Ireland), there are deep divisions among political parties and factions jockeying for power. In South Africa, the National Party and the ANC dominated the negotiations involving multiple parties, Køb billige viagra. Ordering viagra no prescription, The ANC and the National Party could both safely ignore their rivals.

A referendum in 1992 established that President De Klerk had solid support for negotiations with the ANC over “power sharing.” The National Party negotiated poorly and ended up with a deal with little real power sharing President Nelson Mandela included the National Party and Inkatha in the first majority rule government in order to ensure initial political stability, but there was no mandatory power sharing mechanism. Cheapest viagra online, Even the federalist elements in South Africa are relatively minor.

Seeing this and the ineffectiveness of the National Party as an opposition party, most whites eventually changed their allegiance from the National Party and Afrikaner nationalists to the tiny, former anti-apartheid Democratic Party and made it the major white party, Iowa IA .

Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine

In Northern Ireland, there were four main parties: two Irish nationalist and two British unionist. The two nationalist parties were the SDLP and Sinn Fein, the latter being the political wing of the IRA-—although they have always denied this, ordering viagra no prescription. Comprare viagra sconto, The two unionist parties were the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), the more moderate party, and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the more extreme led by the Rev, billige viagra Apotheke. Ian Paisley, who headed the Free Presbyterian Church and engaged in anti-Catholic bigotry. Michigan MI Mich. , Because the IRA was four years delinquent in disarming and continued its criminal activities and violent intimidation in republican ghettoes, power sharing broke down repeatedly. Fiinally, the Democratic Unionists (DUP) replaced the Ulster Unionists (UUP) as the main unionist (pro-British/Protestant) party, viagra for sale. Ordering viagra no prescription, The IRA’s political wing, Sinn Fein, also surpassed the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) to become the dominant nationalist party among the Irish (Catholics).

The DUP and Sinn Fein are now attempting to see if they can share power—or carve it up between them—more successfully than the more moderate UUP and SDLP did. This is the equivalent of expecting the Likud and Hamas to succeed in peace negotiations where Labor and Fatah failed. Buy cheap viagra online, The problem in Israel/Palestine is that there is a major imbalance of power between the Israelis and the Palestinians, with the Palestinians refusing to acknowledge this difference in their negotiating style and demands. Palestinian rhetoric and terror, as well as Jewish history, where to buy cheap viagra, have led to a profound mistrust of the Palestinians by Israelis; continued Israeli settlement of the West Bank before and during the Oslo process led to a similar Palestinian mistrust of Israelis. Zionism was founded as a political movement because Jews in Europe feared their Gentile neighbors, ordering viagra no prescription. They predicted that the combination of Jewish lack of power, Utah UT , racial anti-Semitism, and radical nationalism would lead to a great tragedy for the Jews. The fact that this prediction came true in dimensions unimagined by the Zionists led to a powerful acceptance of the equation of security with sovereignty and military power. Over sixty years of conflict between the Palestinians and the Zionists has not led to a lessening of this feeling, pharmacie viagra bon marché.

Irish republicans in the IRA gave up the armed struggle because they failed to make progress over three decades in their goal of driving the British out of Northern Ireland by force. Ordering viagra no prescription, Sinn Fein was not able to ostracize the unionists internationally to anywhere near the same extent that the ANC was able to ostracize the Afrikaners.

The SDLP was able to persuade Sinn Fein that their problem was with the unionists and not with London, Wyoming WY Wyo. , and that only a political solution was possible.

Power sharing had been tried in 1974 and failed after five months, due to resistance from both the IRA and unionists. Ulster Unionist objections to the 1974 power sharing experiment were dealt with in the negotiations that led to the April 1998 Good Friday Agreement, purchase viagra online. The IRA gave up the legitimacy of military struggle in exchange for political struggle and the unionists agreed to some connections with the Republic of Ireland in exchange for Dublin giving up its claims to sovereignty over Northern Ireland.

This meant that the IRA was basically agreeing to a single state on unionist grounds, ordering viagra no prescription. A one-state solution would only work in Israel/Palestine if the Palestinians were willing to come into Israel on terms acceptable to the Zionists. Rabatt kaufen viagra, It is doubtful that there are such terms that both sides could accept. Israel certainly is not ready to surrender. Are the Palestinians.

Cheap Viagra Online Cheap

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Ameinu is showing clips from a video documentary Cheap viagra online cheap, that got a lot of attention in Israel in 2005 and deserves to get even more attention now. For two years, Viagra online kaufen, Haim Yavin, the venerable Israeli anchor for the government-run Channel 1 TV, roamed the territories with a simple video camera, Um viagra online, talked to Jewish settlers, Acheter viagra discount, soldiers, Palestinians, Israeli peace activists and others in order to document, cheap viagra overnight delivery, in heartrending detail, Koop korting viagra, the moral price of the occupation. The result was a five-part series that the settler leadership tried but failed to prevent from airing three years ago.

Yavin has said he made the documentary "so that I and those like me can’t say we didn’t see it, North Dakota ND , we didn’t hear it, Delaware DE Del. , we didn’t know.” The rest of us also need to stop making that excuse, and face up to the realities that are vividly conveyed by Yavin and the people he interviews

The first, very brief clip on the Ameinu web site focuses on Hebron, order viagra online legally, and includes an interview with a laconic Israeli soldier who describes what it feels like when Jewish settlers casually urge him to shoot Palestinian children. Ostaa halvalla viagra, Also worth reading is a call to action, which proposes an orderly withdrawal of settlers now, before it's too late, cheapest viagra in the world. It does so from a decidedly Zionist perspective which will make both Jewish right wingers and anti-Zionists uncomfortable, but is a message that should resonate with Ameinu's chief, target audience: affiliated American Jews, cheap viagra online cheap.

When the series first aired, Buy cheap viagra, some Israeli reviewers express much more impatience with the settlers than Ameinu does. Here was the emotional reaction from Raanan Shaked in Yedioth Ahronoth (6/1/05):

The breath becomes short, the heart is choked with anger, where to buy viagra. This is the only human response to The Land of the Settlers. Viagra discount, No, there is actually another reasonable reaction: After watching The Land of the Settlers, every caring Israeli, Acheter en ligne viagra, every humane Israeli, Acheter viagra bon marché, should get up next Saturday, go to the settlement nearest to his place of residence, and drag its inhabitants, North Carolina NC N.C. , kicking and screaming, Maine ME Me. , across the road to the side of sanity. This is what comes out of The Land of the Settlers, the personal territories journal of Chaim Yavin, buy viagra no rx, who reaches an impressive professional peak here as a documentary journalist. Cheap viagra online, Although it may not be new on an informative level, The Land of the Settlers will astound you, mainly by placing on the screen, buy viagra online, over the course of many hours, Price of viagra, the hard core of the shameful insanity of the settlers in the territories, along with the tacit approval of the Israeli governments, along with the helplessness of the army…

What makes this video even more important now is that the plight of Palestinians in the territories has gotten even worse than it was when Yavin aired it...Ameinu is also distributing the whole series at a discount, Osta viagra online.

Finally, Billig kaufen viagra, I will extend yet another apology for the infrequency of my posts. I should be able to pay more attention to this blog within the next few weeks, after I complete the manuscript of my long-awaited, Oklahoma OK Okla. , soon-to-be-classic book on America's conventional Israel lobby and what, Order viagra online, if anything, can be done to transform or replace it.

Ordering Viagra Online Without Prescription

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Ordering viagra online without prescription, It is hard to convey the amount of bile and reductionist, blame-the-Jews-for-every-sin rhetoric that has taken over much of the blogosphere. Phil Weiss's blog generally attracts some of the most articulate Jew-bashers, so I tune into the comments from time to time in order to gauge the level of hatred.

I just noticed some great comments by "Teddy," one of our most valued contributors whose only fault is that he is smarter and generally more articulate than I am, Osta viagra. I hereby award him the first "Fleshie," which will be bestowed periodically on the best response to anti-Semitism or ignorant anti-Israelism on the Web. He veers farther to the left than I would, Cheap viagra without prescription, but this is the kind of respondent who has a chance to get the attention of the people who are reading these blogs and still trying to make up their minds about whether to hold the Jews responsible for the world's problems...Stay with this. It is a bit scary in places, ordering viagra online without prescription. And Teddy's initial response refers to an earlier comment and requires some patience. But, in the end, he richly deserves his Fleshie:

1-{The original provocation by "Cogit 8}"Phil, order viagra online, after observing how 'your people' operate for lo a half century, I rather doubt that anything close to a candid discussion about The Jews (or their lobby) will ever occur. The Russerts and Wolf Blitzers are drooling in wait for Obama, Cheapest viagra, who hasn't inspired much hope to the majority of Americans who want us out of Iraq.

What will happen instead is that Hillary will demagogue the issue into one of "Do you support our little ally Israel, or don't you. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Pulling out of Iraq will leave poor little Israel all alone, etc etc etc."

If you want a foretaste of the sophistry to come, merely observe how the recent killing of 120 Palestinians by a sophisticated war-machine has not produced even a ripple of empathy in America, whereas the death of one Jew by a crudely made rocket is trumpeted about the mother-land. Proof indeed of The Jewing of America - because most of 'your people' really don't give a rip about other human life."

2-{Teddy's response}: "most of 'your people' really don't give a rip about other human life."

What follows is an excerpt from a comment that closed off a thread a few days ago. I wrote it in response to a predictable claim from MM that Zionism was NOTHING except colonialism and racism, online viagra, nothing else. I include the first part so you will understand the context of my concluding comment. Some of you are unwittingly doing a wonderful job of promoting Zionism and confirming the suspicions of the most paranoid Jews:
------------------------
MM, Connecticut CT Conn. , And there was nothing else to Zionism. No other reason for it, ordering viagra online without prescription. Just colonialism and imperialism. No pogroms and raw discrimination that made Eastern and Central European Jew believe assimilation was impossible. No desparation in the 1930s and '40s because the gates of the world were closed (and don't give me the infernal, conspiratorial line that somehow the Zionists caused the Holocaust or were glad that it happened, cheap viagra, which I used to read all the time on Phil's blog)?...

That said, many of the Zionist pioneers were racist, Viagra without prescription, and orientalist, and the entire saga does not resemble the golden myths American Jews learned in their childhood about the founding of Israel. Ordering viagra online without prescription, But let me tell ya, MM and all your compadres, much of the bile on this blog is reminiscent of the attitudes that convinced Jews in the late 19th century that Zionism was the only solution available to them.

So keep it up, as someone else wrote awhile ago. You're doing AIPAC's work for it, Rabatt kaufen viagra.

Posted by: Teddy | March 06, 2008 at 12:19 PM

3-{Another county heard from}: Even if one accepts everything Teddy says about the pogroms Jews faced in Europe -- what does that have to do with the U.S..

Like the Palestinians, Buy viagra overnight delivery, Americans wonder why we have to pay and pay and pay for sins committed by Europeans decades ago. We even have to pay $35 million a year for the Holocaust Museum, to explain what one group of Europeans did to another group of Europeans, ordering viagra online without prescription. Why.

Now there IS a zionist state, which enjoys a southern European standard of living. So WHY, ordering viagra pills, again, is the U.S. obliged to spend billions a year, Billige viagra apotek, and distort its entire foreign policy -- in perpetuity -- to help this exclusively Jewish project along. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Is this like Catholic indulgences or carbon credits, where paying $5 billion a year will earn us "philosemitic credits" and expiate our eternal liberal guilt. It takes a lot of chutzpah to think that the Shoah can continue to milked for this purpose, in the seventh decade after it happened.

Give it a rest, man, Køb billige viagra. Find a new hustle that actually adds some value to peoples' lives, rather than just shaking them down and denouncing them as antisemites if they dare to object to having their pockets picked. Some of us are getting rather tired of being abused, Billiga viagra apotek, after generously contributing all our lives via income tax. Some gratitude, huh, ordering viagra online without prescription.

4- {Teddy's response}You don't seem to get it, Jim. I wasn't defending all that the Zionists did or justifying blind U.S, comprar en línea viagra. support for Israel. I was pointing out that the rhetoric on this site, or some of it, Buy viagra, blames THE JOOS as a people for all sorts of nefarious crimes, and refuses to make a distinction between right wing Zionists and everyone else who calls himself or herself a Jew. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Anti-Zionism and blunt, angry criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism. "Most of 'your people' don't really give a rip about human life' is anti-Semitic according to any reasonable definition of the word. If you and yours would denounce grotesque generalizations about the Jewish people and focus on AIPAC, the ZOA and the groups that I, cheapest viagra in the world, as Jew, also despise, you might attract reasonable people to your arguments

Posted by: Teddy | March 06, Viagra sale, 2008 at 01:08 PM

5-{A second provocation by "Cogit8"} Teddy, I regret that you limited your critique to just a few of my words, because I'm talking about a much larger issue (its the same issue that Phil is pondering also, and that is the question of Jewish culpability in the disaster which is Iraq).

If the Dreyfus Affair can be called "one of the greatest iniquities of the last century" and it only concerned one individual, price of viagra, pray tell what will Iraq and Lebanon be called some day. In addition, what will the ethnic cleansing of over 700, Goedkope viagra apotheek, 000 Palestinians be called.

So yes, "J'Accuse!" is where I'm coming from, and I accuse "most of 'your people'" of having committed or supported major war-crimes against humanity, ordering viagra online without prescription.

6 {Teddy's award- winning response} The Dreyfus Affair was your entry in the compare-whose-pain-is-greater debate, not mine.

You have a Star Wars, Alabama AL Ala. , black and white vision of the conflict and, apparently, the universe. Illinois IL Ill. , I learned a long time ago that it is useless to try to explain the complexities and nuances of the ongoing tragedy to people like you. But just a few notes and then I need to return to the world where people understand there are two sides to most stories and neither has a monopoly on truth or goodness. Ordering viagra online without prescription, I don't believe Israel and its lobbyists were a decisive factor in the Bushies decision to get us into Iraq. But even if they were, what about the high percentage of American Jews who opposed the invasion and the higher percentage that turned agains the war. Are they part of the "people" who should be blamed for Iraq, buy viagra. Weren't American Jews prominent leaders of the anti-war movement (e.g., Leslie Cagan).

I don't believe what happened in 1948 (or the 30s) can be reduced to the single, Buy viagra online cheap, fashionable phrase of "ethnic cleansing," unless that phrase is applied to both sides of the conflict. There was a war between two national movements and atrocities were commmited by both sides, ordering viagra online without prescription. What do you think were the intentions of the Arab armies that invaded in '48. The entire area would have been Judenrein if they had gotten their way. But even if your Star Wars vision is correct, For viagra online, an entire "people" did not "support" ethnic cleansing. Most Jews who followed the conflict believed in the propaganda they were fed about why the Palestinians left. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Only in the last few decades have the revisionist historians showed that there was another side of the story. You can't blame an entire "people" for supporting ethnic cleansing if they did not believe that is what happened.

For that matter, even if you think the Zionists were the scum of the earth from the very start, realize that they were a minority movement among Jews around the world even in the early 1930s. An entire "people" did not support them. For most Jews. the need for the Jewish homeland only sunk during the Second World and its immediate aftermath, ordering viagra online without prescription.

As for Lebanon and Gaza, I am outraged at the passivity of most American Jewish organizations in the face of Israel's disproportionate response. But one of the reasons for the passivity among moderate Jews who are horrified by the deaths of Palestinian children is utter despair and hopelessness; they don't have a practical answer that will help both sides escape from this nightmare. So, as usual, those with the easy, extreme answers --targeted assasinations---win the day. That's no excuse. Ordering viagra online without prescription, I share your anger at what is happening and so do the organizations I support, like Brit Tzedek v'Shalom. So, where does that put me in your cartography of the Jewish people.

Again, Teddy's answer won't make the mainstream Jewish establishment happy, because he feels no compulsion to defend what he believes to be indefensible. Some of what he says make me uncomfortable and is too harsh on the Zionists. But standard "hasbara" has no chance to succeed in that digital world. It gets rejected immediately. Teddy and his ilk do have a chance. Please send other nominations to dfleshler@yahoo.com.

Cheap Viagra Online Legally

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Richard Silverstein's Tikun Olam Cheap viagra online legally, notes that Israeli novelist A.B. Yehoshua called for removing the U.S. Goedkope viagra apotheek, ambassador to Israel and attacked America's Israel lobby. But he missed a few nuances. I might be the only one in the universe who cares about these nuances, Montana MT Mont. , as they touch upon some of the work I've tried to do over the years, Viagra without a prescription, but forgive the self-indulgence:

First, Richard S. quotes from a Y-net story:

In a scathing op-ed published in the Italian daily La Stampa, Israeli novelist A, cheap viagra online legally. B, kjøpe viagra online. Yehoshua said George W. Buy cheap viagra online, Bush should recall the US ambassador to Israel until the Jewish state dismantles all illegal outposts in the West Bank, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.

"If the American president would have really wanted Israel to disassemble the illegal outposts…he would have done better to stay in the White House…" Yehoshua wrote in response to Bush's recent visit to the Middle East, ordering viagra online without prescription. Cheap viagra online legally, "He should have recalled his ambassador to Tel Aviv (Richard Jones) for an indefinite period until the outposts were evacuated.

"I can guarantee you that had he acted in this manner, Comprar viagra baratos, Israel would have promptly dismantled the outposts, and the US administration would thus cement the faith of the Israelis and the Palestinians in the peace process," he said in the op-ed, order viagra online.

Yehoshua added that Israel was deceiving the international community into focusing solely on the illegal outposts. Viagra generic, "Instead of dealing with (all) of the illegal settlements (in the West Bank), only the illegal outposts are being discussed – this legitimizes the status of (the other) settlements, in which 250, comprar viagra,000 Israelis reside, Cheap viagra online, " he said.

Richard S. then picks up his commentary, which treats this is a remarkable and new development:

First, köpa billiga viagra, it indicates a desperation on the part of the rational Zionist center-left. It is clear to them that no one in current Israeli politics has the will or interest to do the hard things that need to get done for there to be peace, cheap viagra online legally. Minnesota MN Minn. , Under those conditions, a dyed in the wool Zionist like Yehoshua is willing to give voice to heresy and call for direct U.S. interference in Israeli domestic politics, discount viagra.

Second, Cheap viagra online legally, the statement bespeaks a recognition among those same rational Zionists that now is the time for a settlement. This realization is accompanied by the conviction that losing this opportunity will be much worse than past lost opportunities because the stakes seem higher than they have ever been in terms of the violence that might be unleashed in the event of failure now.... Cheap viagra online legally, Interestingly, and not surprisingly, Ynet has omitted Yehoshua's direct criticism of the Israel lobby. JTA reports that Yehoshua also had this to say:

"Yehoshua further described all West Bank settlements as illegal and described the `Jewish lobby' as having `become a powerful tool of influence on Israel's behalf within the U.S, acquistare a buon mercato viagra. administration.'"

What is important here is that it's no longer Jimmy Carter or Walt-Mearsheimer attacking the Lobby. Vermont VT Vt. , It's now a mainstream Israeli figure like Yehoshua who, as a Zionist, might be seen to have a vested interest in supporting the work of the Lobby

Well, viagra, it's important but the novelty should not be exaggerated. Order viagra pills, Yehoshua's statement is noteworthy because his castigation of the lobby and calls for American intervention are so passionate and so public.

But mainstream, leftwing Zionists, including Labor Party leaders, have often asserted that the conventional Israel lobby doesn't represent Israel's true interests, cheap viagra online legally. Haaretz's Akiva Eldar and many other columnists have lambasted AIPAC for years. For that matter, viagra online kopen, let's not forget that PM Rabin himself took on AIPAC in some widely reported confrontations in the early 1990s. φτηνές φαρμακείο viagra, It was clear from all the reportage that one key reason was the perception that the lobby had been much too close to Likud and Greater Israel supporters, and would be an obstacle to the peace process. Rabin's people did not make any efforts to correct those stories, παραγγείλετε online viagra. Cheap viagra online legally, In 1993, Israel Policy Forum was founded with the close cooperation of Labor doves, who understood that the conventional Israel lobby could not enthusiastically sell peace talks with Arafat and the two-state solution to the American Jewish community.

Moreover, Order viagra, mainstream, left-of-center Israelis have often called for direct American intervention into Israel's affairs, especially since the collapse of Camp David II, Georgia GA Ga. . Former Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami has written many times that bi-lateral talks won't work, Ordering viagra online legally, because the gaps between Israelis and Palestinians are too wide, and neither side is willing to stop taking steps that preclude a workable settlement. He has called for America and the international community to intervene --in a variety of ways-- to save Israel from itself. Over the years, I myself have ghostwritten and placed op-eds for a number of prominent Israelis (trust me on this one) who have expressed similar sentiments.

Yehoshua should be applauded (even though his comments were buried in La Stampa), as should Richard S, cheap viagra online legally. for bringing it to our attention. The more the American Jewish mainstream hears from Israelis who want the U.S. to give Israel some tough love, the better. But if they think it is an unprecedented development, they might not take it seriously. They should realize that Yehoshua is pushing the envelope a little farther, but it is not a new envelope.
