Informed Speculation

Having watched the debate for a second time, I am struck once again, as a I regularly am, by the anti-Semitism of the radical Left. For example, there is this comment from a Kossack who watched:

Many in the audience are ver[sic] Pro-Isreal[sic]. It’s a shame they can not connect with what Galloway is trying to say about the terrorists and why they feel the need to attack governments who invade or occupy their countries or regions.

And that’s really it in a nutshell.

Behind every person who tries to ‘understand’ the terrorists, there is either deliberate denial of, or complete acquiescence to, a horrible truth: the only thing to understand about terrorists is they hate the Jews. Why do they hate America? You just don’t understand, say the lefties, you just don’t understand.

But I do. I understand completely. My eyes are wide open. They hate America because we support Israel.

Osama bin Laden says Americans should remove themselves from all Arab countries. Why? So they can finish off the Jews.

Palestinians blow themselves up frequently, while their leadership robs them blind, and while other Arab countries intentionally refuse to grant them refuge. Why? Because there are Jews in Jerusalem.

Saddam Hussein gave millions to the families of Palestinian terrorists. Why? Because they were killing Jews.

I do understand the root causes of terrorism. I just don’t accept them. And everytime you run up against a MoveOn.org fanatic or anti-war freak these days, you seem to have to only scratch just a tiny bit below the surface to find the inner anti-Semite.

George Galloway is an anti-Semite. So is Cindy Sheehan. I’m tired of excuses, I’m tired of dancing around the obvious. The stench of hatred towards the Jews permeates the anti-war movement. To deny it is to be willfully ignorant. A great shame is descending over our campuses, a shameful presence welcomed as a comrade-in-arms by the ‘progressive’, leftist ideologues, and it’s a shame that is thousands of years old. Every time a leftist’s face lights up when the word ‘neocon’ is uttered, you can see it plainly.

A word of advice, then, to those who say (and George Galloway said just this, quite explicitly, in his closing statement) that if we just changed our policies toward Israel (i.e., abandoned them to be slaughtered by the enemies that surround them on every side), we would have no problems with the Muslim world.

I say this to you, and I swear it: we don’t change our policies at the point of a gun, and we will never abandon Israel. Never. It will not happen. You cannot win, and it is you that must change YOUR policies – or you will be on the losing side of history. That’s something you can take to the bank.
