		<description><![CDATA[The Kach Party was already outlawed before Rabin&#039;s assassination. The difference between Israel and its adversaries is that Israelis and the Jewish people condemn the actions committed by Jewish extremist groups like Kach (which is outlawed by the Israeli government), while Israel&#039;s adversaries like Hamas, Hezbollah, the regime in Iran and their allies cheer and celebrate whenever Islamists kill innocent Israelis and Jews. Also, Mike Guzofsky is a pariah among Jews, while Yusuf Al-Astal is well liked among Hamas members. Both men, by the way, are banned from entering the United Kingdom. The reality is that Israel has tried to make peace with its adversaries for a long time, while the Islamists have openly called for Israel&#039;s destruction so many times. That&#039;s the reality. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with your first paragraph. I think it&#039;s accurate. I have no problem agreeing with:    
   
&quot;Israel is both in a vacuum (in the minds of &lt;i&gt;many of&lt;/i&gt; its critics) and surrounded by enemies (in the real world).&quot;   
   
I would add, that Israel also acts like an enemy often, while professing good will, but really just wanting the whole unadulterated territory for itself and the favor of world opinion at the same time. Is that unfair? It seems like a fair assessment to me. I also agree that I exaggerated about Wiesel when I said &quot;total departure from substance.&quot; I think he roots himself in substance and departs from it as needed.   
   
By &quot;ancient country&quot; I mean Israel. Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews begged, borrowed, bought and stole land on top of what was ancient Israel and ancient Judah. Slowly, they are trying to roll back anything and any inhabitant that might have settled there between 79 AD and 1948, including in territories that collapsed in 586 BC, and also including parts of the Philistine States. They feel obligated if not entitled to meddle in Aram, Assyria, and Ammon because once upon a time, non-Arab Semites sprawled that far. It would be as if Americans reclaimed Caucasus and started harassing the surrounding hostile countries of Russia, Armenia, Iran and Turkey. In many ways, modern Israelis simply superimpose themselves on some biblical ruins.   
   
When you say things like &quot;the Jewish experiment in self-determination&quot; those things sound good. I think where Zionists go awry is where they attempt other-determination, and where they do not exercise self-sufficiency economically and militarily. Again, in principle, Meyrav Wurmser&#039;s Clean Break Strategy is almost inspiring. It&#039;s not followed though.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The idea that Israel exists in a vacuum is really the old Israeli idea. The idea that they are surrounded by enemies on all sides is a new idea.&quot; 
 
Nonsense. What I&#039;m saying is that Israel truly is surrounded by enemies (as any child can see), but its critics attack it AS IF it&#039;s alone, in a vacuum, with no external factors (i.e. its enemies) influencing its politics, policies, decisions and actions. You think you caught me in a contradiction, but you really just didn&#039;t understand what I was saying: Israel is both in a vacuum (in the minds of its critics) and surrounded by enemies (in the real world). 
 
&quot;This particular rhetorical trope of making the unsaid louder than the said&quot; -- You&#039;re distorting what I wrote, YET AGAIN! I never said the unsaid is LOUDER or more important. That&#039;s YOUR inference, based on nothing but your own whim. I just said it rounds out the picture. It adds more colors to the canvas. It&#039;s not the dominant part of the painting. Stop distorting what I write to make points. Elie Wiesel will have to defend his own habits; I for one stand falsely accused. But judging by how often you distort my words, I&#039;m inclined to think you&#039;re distorting Wiesel&#039;s too, as in the hyperbolic statement, &quot;his total departure from content&quot;. Total? Total?! I think not. 
 
&quot;it is a brand new country built on top of an ancient country and partly on top of a neighboring country&quot; -- Where do you get this junk from? What ancient country was it built on? Before Israel, there was a large expanse of land called the Ottoman Empire. Palestine was a region of it, not an &quot;ancient country&quot;. Within that region, Jews bought land from local landowners and built settlements. When they declared statehood, they hadn&#039;t usurped &quot;an ancient country&quot; or its inhabitants. Then the surrounding Arabs invaded (see earlier note on Israel being &quot;surrounded by enemies&quot;), and that launched the conflict. It was the Arab invasion (whose strident objective was genocide) that was the true &quot;Nakba&quot;. You&#039;ve been imbibing poison for too long, and you&#039;re drunk with it. You can&#039;t just reduce history to a cartoon and believe you&#039;ve made a respectable point. 
 
&quot;Housebroken on some newspapers, yes.&quot; -- Well, doesn&#039;t that say it all. Jews don&#039;t rate any higher than puppies. It&#039;s gratuitously insulting, condescending remarks like this that lead people to think you&#039;re a bigot and come here only to provoke and cause pain. Do you discuss other countries in such arrogant terms, or just Israel? It&#039;s fashionable to reduce the Jewish experiment in self-determination to the level of house-pet defecation, isn&#039;t it? Not accurate, not true, not decent, not respectable -- but fashionable.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I disagree. Israel has a &quot;trying to make peace&quot; routine that it has been playing as a running joke since I started watching in the late 1970s and really watching as the decades went by. Invariably when Israel or its spokesmen refer to the &quot;trying to make peace&quot; overtures of Israel, they do it when Israel is specifically calling for a war. 
 
Let&#039;s remember that the most honest and closest time Israel ever &quot;tried to make peace&quot; was Yitzhak Rabin, and he was summarily executed as a &quot;rodef&quot; by the Kach Party. The Kach Party was then outlawed, but then one of their prominent members Mike Guzofsky became the head spokesman of the settlers&#039; movement. ]]></description>

This particular rhetorical trope of making the unsaid louder than the said, making the silence and the negative space louder than the speech or the sculpture, and the reliance on Cantorian ladders between whitespace between words is probably what turned me off the most about Elie Wiesel, even back when I was 15; his blatant disregard for solid objects, and his total departure from content. No. I don&#039;t think Israel hovers in space. I know that it is a brand new country built on top of an ancient country and partly on top of a neighboring country, and that it has outposts and town criers in the United States too. I don&#039;t think it should be destroyed at all. Housebroken on some newspapers, yes. Given a specific amount of yardage, yes. Put on a humane (financial) diet, yes. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suppose the consequences depend on the context. In the context of this internet messageboard, the only consequences for you are that you&#039;re likely to be considered an enemy in perpetuity and not believed when you claim to be a fellow Zionist who&#039;s simply trying to guide his wayward comrades.  
 
It strains credulity to think that Giraldi is preoccupied solely with Israel&#039;s &quot;claims and ambitions&quot;. The man seems to have dedicated most of his waking hours to discrediting and undermining Israel and its supporters. It&#039;s not words alone which convey meaning. The volume and single-minded monotony of those words also tell a tale. To me they tell a tale of a man obsessed, eager to express his prejudice in the hopes of winning converts to his cause.  
 
It&#039;s also the words left unsaid which round out the picture. He gives a pass to radical Muslims when articulating his harsh assessments of Israel, as if Israel has nothing significant to contend with. No wonder you see eye to eye with Giraldi&#039;s latest rant: You share his total dedication to anti-Israel condemnation, his prolificity, and his determined non-consideration of Islam as a factor influencing Israeli policies and actions. To you and Giraldi and his readers, Israel exists in a vacuum, and must be ruthlessly targeted to the exclusion of everything else in the universe, all of which must be put on hold until Israel is successfully destroyed. In his mania, Giraldi has reduced the world to an existential struggle between America versus Israel: the former won&#039;t survive until it casts the latter adrift (meaning, until it feeds it to its enemies).  
 
Thirty thousand murdered Syrians don&#039;t register a yawn on antiwar.com. But if one Arab is harmed as a result of Israeli action, that site&#039;s contributors go ballistic. The double standard is breathtaking. There&#039;s something very imbalanced in the unhappy world of anti-Israel critics. I point out this blatant hypocrisy all the time, but to no avail.  ]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I suppose the consequences depend on the context. In the context of this internet messageboard, the only consequences for you are that you&#039;re likely to be considered an enemy in perpetuity and not believed when you claim to be a fellow Zionist who&#039;s simply trying to guide his wayward comrades.  </p>
<p>It strains credulity to think that Giraldi is preoccupied solely with Israel&#039;s &quot;claims and ambitions&quot;. The man seems to have dedicated most of his waking hours to discrediting and undermining Israel and its supporters. It&#039;s not words alone which convey meaning. The volume and single-minded monotony of those words also tell a tale. To me they tell a tale of a man obsessed, eager to express his prejudice in the hopes of winning converts to his cause.  </p>
<p>It&#039;s also the words left unsaid which round out the picture. He gives a pass to radical Muslims when articulating his harsh assessments of Israel, as if Israel has nothing significant to contend with. No wonder you see eye to eye with Giraldi&#039;s latest rant: You share his total dedication to anti-Israel condemnation, his prolificity, and his determined non-consideration of Islam as a factor influencing Israeli policies and actions. To you and Giraldi and his readers, Israel exists in a vacuum, and must be ruthlessly targeted to the exclusion of everything else in the universe, all of which must be put on hold until Israel is successfully destroyed. In his mania, Giraldi has reduced the world to an existential struggle between America versus Israel: the former won&#039;t survive until it casts the latter adrift (meaning, until it feeds it to its enemies).  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s always amusing when someone openly expresses his discomfort with whom he is speaking and then overtly tries to move the discussion into a place where most of his previous thinking has been done already. In your case, Mike, you are trying to slowly move me into the position of &quot;rational atheist Marxist,&quot;a sub-category that you have built up some kind of rote response to. That makes you a little more robust than Kufar Dawg but not by much, really.    
    
In fact, I read the Communist Manifesto in high school and I don&#039;t agree with it, and am not a Marxist by any stretch of the imagination. I also don&#039;t care if I am called one, so play away. I am certainly not a big government person. My views on government are informed by Thomas Paine and Henry David Thoreau. As to religion, I don&#039;t believe in God. I don&#039;t care if you do, why you do, or why you don&#039;t. That&#039;s a personal comfort decision for you to make for yourself and no other person.    
    
You really ought to try to put half as much thought into your comments as you put into your angry letters to the L.A. Times. Try to look at it like you are writing letters. Otherwise, you are not measuring up to your benchmarks. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Keep opening your ignorant malignant and malicious pie whole to expose your hatred of the good and your arrogant ignorance for all to see and witness.  
Schlo, you are a perfect flawless example of a brainwashed fool whose mentality functions in perfect tune according to the programming of a dead false prophet named Karl Marx.  
Schlo is his intellectual progeny and the &quot;thoughts&quot; that flow from him define poor factually enslaved impoverished Schlo who probably believes he is a rational atheist as he openly worships the false god of government and smears those of us who refuse.           ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ms. Glick is the world&#039;s greatest living truth teller.  
And she is so spot on about the malignant Left in both Israel and the US.   
 
Just like they did during Vietnam and the Cold War, they prefer attacking the Americans doing the actual dirty work of fighting and blaming us rather than ever lift a finger against or even so much as a verbal peep against monsters like communism and Islamic jihad.   
Reagan was &quot;evil incarnate&quot; while the USSR was the &quot;moral and material equivalent of the USA&quot; and Americans were &quot;paranoid about the Red Scare&quot; that MURDERED more than 100 million poor innocent souls.   
Bin Laden was a misunderstood victim while Bush was, is and will be for who knows how long &quot;evil incarnate and the Devil&quot; according to the Left.  
You all know who you are.          ]]></description>
