Comments on: Update III: East Jerusalem Or One Jerusalem? (Gunning For A Jewish Neighborhood) https://barelyablog.com/east-jerusalem-or-one-jerusalem/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mike Marks https://barelyablog.com/east-jerusalem-or-one-jerusalem/comment-page-1/#comment-9469 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:55:39 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=23054#comment-9469 The biggest issue in the middle east is Iran’s existential threat to Israel. So what does this administration do? It picks a fight with Israel over 1600 units in East Jerusalem. Clearly there are two sets of “reality” in play here. There is Obama’s reality and then there is the situation at hand. Unfortunately Obama’s reality doesn’t improve anything, it makes the situation worse.

Myron,
They hate us for our Freedom!! Didn’t you know?

The Palestinians will exacerbate the situation beyond control and will become the chief recipient of the carnage which is to follow. I don’t believe it is too far-fetched to envision our administration mobilizing American troops to try to save them.

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/…/03/petraeus_makes_his_move.php

constitutes a wonderful example of the sickness of the American Empire mentality. So buck-toothed Pushtun tribesmen would really LOVE us when we blow up their poppy fields or their cousin’s wedding party as long as Israel stops building condos in Jerusalem! And those in Pakistan and Kashmir are more worried over the Zionist Entity than the Hinduist Entity! And then this worry about how Israel “weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world” – which is a double farce that presumes that Medieval despotic cesspools like Saudi Arabia and Mubarakland are both “legitimate” and “moderate”.

Oh, I forgot, our troops are “spreading democracy”. I also forgot that those random Pushtun tribesmen, not Cheney, Bush, Obama, and Pelosi who “threaten our freedom”. When Americans are forced to buy health insurance, file income taxes, attend politically-correct indoctrination schools, or strip at the airport, it is because some Pushtun is pissed off at some Jew who is living in the Old City of Jerusalem! Where would our freedoms be without Princeton-educated geniuses like Petraeus and Lady Michelle?

I want even more freedom – can we blow up a few more Tribesmen, General??

The United States should stay out of Israels business. Unfortunately it looks like we can not do that.

They are so dense, that I see no hope for them to find their back pockets, even if they use both hands. I find myself in the position of having to cheer on the present administration in the hope that; if we can tick off the Japanese enough they’ll send our military bases packing. If we can tick off the Israeli’s enough, they’ll see the light and kick the US(N)out and take care of business. Reverse psychology is all that remains open anymore.

We’re coaxing Israel to do our dirty work in Iran. If Israel believes itself isolated further from the U.S. then it will take care of the problem on it’s own.

(Of course not as bad or corrupt.) But it seems to me that they should know what to do in their part of the world and we should suupport them. However it seems that we are too busy trying to toady up to the Muslim world. For us to actually support the Palestinians as opposed to an ally such as Israel is the height of foolishness. Of course with Curly, Larry and Moe(Barack, Biden and Hillary) heading up our foreign policy team we are proving that we don’t know, as a nation, our collective backsides from third base about foreign policy. And here we are mucking about in the middle east. A disaster waiting to happen.

If 10 million Chinese wanted to do Aliyah and emigrate to Israel, it is NOT American business.

It reminds me of a time when I used to object to the US government running a Holocaust museum and got all sorts of flack for my stance. Years later, the US government wanted Yassir Arafat, Nobel PEACE Prizewinner (like Obama, Carter, Kissinger, Le Duc Tho, and Gore) to be the Holocaust museum honored guest – and many finally understood my objections. It is the same with American “policy” in the Middle East.

By the way, how (for example) would Ilana Mercer putting an addition on her house threaten ME if there was any semblence of any remote desire on my part to coexist in peace? The entire process is a self-evident sham.
