Stopping Iran hinges on peace talks with the Palestinians???

Melanie Phillips' article entitled "Obama Prepares to Throw Israel Under the Bus" is disturbing and should make Americans who have long supported Israel sit up and take notice.

When will Obama and the liberal left come to the realization that Iran and other Muslim countries like it will never be satisfied with anything but the total annihilation of the State of Israel. To say that keeping Iran in line is contingent on talks with the thugs in Palestine is likesaying keeping one dog from attacking your cat is contingent on allowing the other neighbor's dog full access to your cat as he stands at the fence growling and salivating at your pet.

In keeping with the theme, Zo has a new video that seems apropos.

Middle East Misinformation

"There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish a Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people...The establishment of a Palestinian state is long overdue. The Palestinian people deserve it” (January 10, 2008)

Who spoke these words? A prominent leader in the Arab world? A member of a jihadist group?

None of the above.

George W. Bush spoke these words.

There was a time when I had great respect and admiration for our President, but those days are past, though I do not hate him as the liberals do. I think he did the right thing by going into Afghanistan and Iraq. I think he did the right thing (though not soon enough) with the surge in Iraq. I think he’s done a lot of good as President, but mostly in the area of the War against Terrorism.

But now he’s succumbed to political correctness and the false notion that Israel is an occupier, or that the “Palestinians” are a legitimate group of people.

Fact: There is no such country/nation/ or state called Palestine. There are no “Palestinians”. The people in this area are Arabs and speak Arabic. They don’t speak “Palestinian”. There is no distinct “Palestinian” culture.

It is extremely interesting as a Christian to know how the Middle East story will end.
