Jewish Washington Post Columnist Calls Isreal a Mistake.
 

World Class journalist Richard Cohen has caused great uproar in the jewish community due to Tuesday's colum in the Washington post where he states among other things...


"The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake. It is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now. Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself."

Jews are up in arms about this article and pressuring the washington post to fire him from his position there. Hang in there Richard, we're rootin' for ya!

You know - we get it already - you hate Jews - OK, we get it.

Do you think there is any difference between hating Israel and hating Jews?

He's not going to get it

Of course there is - you can hate the policies of the Israeli government and still not hate Jews - many Jews hate the policies of the Israeli government.

But the title of this post is not "Israeli..." it is "Jewish..." - what difference does it make if he is Jewish - does that make him infalliable. And where are all these Jews who are up in arms - I know many, many Jews and not one of them could give a rats ass what one columnist has to say about the state of Israel.

It is obvious by the number of posts that Montreal Pimp has made on this topic that it has more to do with Jews than with Israel.

Hate is a terrible emotion, why on earth would I encourage the intelligent jews to continue spreading the truth like I am with this post. I admire Cohen for his contribution to the washington post, hate and admiration are two very different factors that do not go together in any context.

So try again, your hate comments will not fly here.

More mind enrichment on the way, boys and girls.

Don't mind him he's probably a jew himself ...

I don't know about the rest of his threads, but in discussing this article, I don't think that the fact that the author is Jewish is irrelevant.

Why would that make a difference to you one way or another? Do you think that all Jews only think one way?

Dear friend, dare to see beyond your open TV news channels...

Do you know that just for being JEWISH you can get an israeli citizenship? What that means to you huh? There's an undeniable link between jewry and Israel. Those who don't want to see it are either jews, have interests with the jews or plain ignorants.

Muslims have been killing Jews since the year 622.

The 'Palestinians' were murdering their Jewish neighbours for a long time before Israel was created.

As far Muslims, hard left people and some hard right people are concerned, the only good Jew is a dead Jew.

was Israel a mistake?

Here is a piece of poetry for your children:

The Eternal Jew


From the start the Jew has been
A murderer, said Jesus Christ.
And as Our Lord died on the cross
God the Father knew no other race
To torment His Son to death,
He chose the Jews for this.
That is why the Jews now claim
To be His special proteges.
When Christ the burden of the cross
Too heavy found, He sought to rest
One moment ?gainst a door.
But from the house a Jew came out
Cursed Him and upbraided Him,
Telling Him to move on further.
For ?twas a Jew that owned that house.
It was the Jew Ahasuerus.............
Since then the Jew has borne a curse.
Two thousand years he has sought rest,
That wretched Jew Ahasuerus,
The curse has passed to all his race,
Restless he wanders far and wide,
One land to another.
He has no home to call his own,
The alien Jew, that scurvy knave.
His nomad soul finds nowhere rest,
Everywhere he?s just a pest.
Four centuries have come and gone,
Ahasuerus crops up everywhere
Now in Hamburg, next Berlin,
In Denmark and in Danzig too.
Dresden, Paris have seen that Jew.
Believe me, children, it is quite clear,
Ahasuerus haunts us still
Under the skin of every Jew.
Now, children, keep a good look out
Whenever you see a Jew about.
The Jew creeps round, a regular fox,
Keep your eyes open, or you?ll be on the rocks.

as mr. Romance would say...
"I like this"...

More dangerous to his people than Iran's bomb, than a thousand sucide bombers, that a milion armies - it is the the self-hating Jew.

I hate to say, but the man has a point. Why in the fuck would you build a city in the middle of a group of people that hate you. That would be like building a all white police station in the middle of the ghetto in LA.

bet that will sell lots of news papers

Bump for the positive sentiment in here. I like what I see tonight.

Good to know. You have absolutely no understanding of the realities of the situation.

I love all all you idiots are rooting for a terrorist country that condones suicide bombings and opresses women. Way to go you morons :thumbsup

Israeli kids signing bombs that are destined for Lebanon.

What about the people who are "rooting" for peace? Also morons?

This is seriously fucked up...

No... They are not morons... but seriously, regardless of how Jews obtained Isreal or their past history... why would anybody root for a hood wearing, suicide bombing, ethnocentric, evil terrorist organization instead of a free country like Isreal? Answer, they sympatize with terrorists, hate Jews, or are fucking stupid!

I don't hate Jews or Muslims, but the creation of Israel was a colossal mistake. It virtually ensured violent instability in that region. But then again, maybe that was the plan....

everyone here who is anti-israel, are you also pro-Iran, and pro Iran having nuclear power/weapons? Because those 2 issues are linked. And even the Lebanon government has inferred that.

It's amazing how Hezbollah got involved right before the G8 summit, where the main issue was Iran and their nuclear weapons, and yet - it hasn't been talked about at all since. This isn't just about Israel vs Palestine, this is about the whole region. So while you may be pro-Palestine, you also very well could be pro-Iran and not even know it. The interests between Iran/Hezbolla/Syria/Palestine are very much so aligned (they all hate Israel and the US), and trust me when I say the Israeli foreign policy right now is taking all of that into account.

For the record, I see his arguments, but honestly, they do nothing to help the situation today except to stir readers for the newspaper. You can't go back and undo history.

Sure is - that flippant bullshit cheering on Israel or Lebanon and the vitrol on this board from ignorant trash is a joke.

The sooner international forces intervene, the better. Let's see how much the international community gives a shit next and provides some from of mediation and cooling.

Perhaps it was..

Do you ever wonder if maybe you don't understand what everyone else is thinking? Have you ever thought that maybe the people you lump in to the category of stupid jew hating terrorist "sympatizer" are people who want to see peace? Not everyone looks at world conflicts in the same way they look at a football game, ie, picking a side to root for and sticking with them.

History aside. Do you think it is possible that perhaps these people see Israel as the nation who is primarily responsible for the current violence? Have you read any of the UN resolutions regarding Israel restoring the rights of the Palestinians that America has vetoed? Do you understand the history of Hezbollah?

Or, is it just easier to call everyone who doesn't blindly support Israel in any situation a stupid jew hating terrorist sympathizer, than it is to actually try to understand both sides of the situation?

The majority of the people you and the absolute morons you watch on TV condem as being terrorist lovers and stupid jew haters are people with common sense who realize that increasing the violence in the middle east is not going to solve any of the long standing problems. It's called having a grasp on reality.

The UN already attempted to pass a resolution called for an end to the violence and an exchange of prisoners.

Sorry, the criminal who calls himself the leader of my country made sure that got vetoed. Peace doesn't help the military industrial complex.

Very well said my friend, but when you are trying to get the point across to a bunch of porn peddling smut pushers, expecting them to see eye to eye on such intelectual issues is by all means hopeless.

Yep Mr S - There are moves to get an international force active on the borders asap and several EU countries have made offers of contributing to this force - but they are seeking a stronger mandate than currently exists for the border force. Time will tell...

In a way this is also over-riding the US veto since there seems to be negotiating going on to have prisoners exchanged as part of the process.

Sure :) ... ironic that the country purveying more arms in the world than all other nations combined, blocked the veto resolution. It's prob better the US stay out of this scenario and drop all peace process words - they mean't nothing and there was no honest broker unfortunately. Even now - there is no country or group of courties - or organization, that stands out to take any lead in this - not exactly an easy scenario when there is no mediator.

very nice article, i dig it.

MP- Are you a webmaster? Just curious..

They are not bombs.

An Islamic state in THE HOLY LAND is also a mistake as the land was taken 1200 or so years ago. Maybe it belongs to the Byzantines. Maybe it belongs to the Romans. "For God, For Country, For Rome!" Give it back to the Babylonians? "New Babylon". The Canaanites weep for their lands. Murdered by the thousands. Exodus.

All of the countries in the Americas are mistakes too. Taken by force from indigenous populations that made life hell for quite a while in those lands. Eh?

Is there such a thing as the "rightful inhabitants" of a land?

I'm calling YOU a mistake...

I don't think he was talking about their right to be there; just that the artificial nature of the creation of the current nation of Israel has unintentionally resulted in a great deal of human misery.

indeed it will:thumbsup

I don't think anyone can disagree with YOUR statement. An Israeli state was PROCLAIMED and one day after that defended. There has been much violence because of it. Facts.

But is it a "mistake"? A mistake to whom? Most Israelis would say "no". Most Arabs and Muslims would say "yes". The rest of the world is divided. Some people would say the violence is worth it. Some would say it isn't.
