printThe [Pat] Robertson episode demonstrates that Israel doesn’t respond appropriately to its friends or to its enemies. Against the backdrop of Iranian incitement to genocide, with the hard-Left joining that seething cesspool of a Palestinian Street to rejoice in Sharon’s fate; at the dawn of the Age of Hamas and insecure borders, and in the context of a world that has delegitimized the Jewish State and defined it in much the same terms as Ahmadinejad has (‘criminal Zionist entity, colonial occupier’)—Israel still doesn’t know Shiite from Shinola.
The quote is from Israel’s Folly, my new column for this week. As always, comments are welcome.
