Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel »
Posted By hyperbola 1 year, 6 months ago in NewsRight-wing zionists attack Obama on the premise that failure to love Israel with enough passion or to be sufficiently devoted to its interests ought to disqualify -- presumably since, the Founders intended the first obligation of the US President to be to preserve Israel's security, just as George Washington said in his farewell address:

just as George Washington said in his farewell address:
In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave.
As is typical for neoconservatives of Frum's strain, he pretends that he is some sort of spokesman for "pro-Israel" voters generally, notwithstanding the fact that the vast majority of American Jews (and even large numbers of Israelis) reject Frum's core political beliefs about the Middle East. ...

The end of Israel?
I am feeling optimistic about Palestine.....
..I am optimistic not because I think the process of ethnic cleansing and apartheid in Israel/Palestine is going to end tomorrow, but because I can feel the ideology behind these policies beginning to collapse. For years the true meaning of political Zionism has been as ignored as its effects on Palestinian daily life. And suddenly it is beginning to break open....
