If it’s Friday, it’s time for another round of we-hate-Israel from the Unhinged Left.

Silly Moe. *Every* day is We-hate-Israel Day for the Unhinged Left.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 9th, 2010 at 10:30 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Question and answer time with Uncle Moe:

Q. How can one reconcile the position of Media Matters hack M.J. Rosenberg that American opinions towards Israel (safe link; H/T Instapundit) are driven by Republican anti-Muslim hatred with the minor detail that the administration’s latest anti-Israel policy was formally deplored by 327 members of Congress?

A. Media Matters hires crazy people.

[pause]

Q. Do you think that Media Matters will contest that interpretation?

A. Who cares?  They’d contest the heliocentric theory if a Republican espoused it too loudly.

    against the left’s allies, murderous jihadists. And allies do have to stand together.
    You’ll never see Obama bowing to Netanyahu, but the Saudi king is another matter.

  • Joliphant

    That just looks like the left trying to slip things into the public consciousness again. You dispute one of the interlinked factual errors and people are left thinking there is something to the others.

  • janis

    children’s game “Pick up Sticks.” Take out one stick that’s crucial and the whole thing comes undone.

    And God knows, they resemble nothing so much as “old children.” (Good to see you again. It’s like old times, you know, back when we were winning Iraq and America was still a free country?)

  • aesthete

    Their status as a social democracy, secular achievements that give them good PR (various Nobel Prize winners, Bar Refaeli :P ), mostly European philosophy and mores, and evangelical support have nothing to do with the US’ overwhelming support for Israel. Nope, it’s just in the past 10 years that we liked them, and only because we hate the other brown people over there. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

    and tell them to stop supporting Democrats in lockstep.

    I’m sorry, but here’s one conservative and Republican who can’t help notice that the American Jewish community keeps giving us the finger at election time.

    In democracies, you live with the consequences of your choices.

    3/4s of American Jews who voted in 2008 reportedly voted for Barack Obama.

    Okay, American Jewish community. You’ve chosen. We Republicans can’t help you much because, through your votes, you invested large amounts of power in Barack Obama and his team.

    They’re in charge now. And, they not only don’t like Israel, they’re taking a lot of that power you gave them in November and using it to squeeze Israel.

    Please don’t tell us you’re surprised. For, if you do, you’ll be de facto admitting that you’re stupid.

    Speaking for myself, I can’t help but notice that, time and time again, when we conservatives reach out to the American Jewish community, it shakes our hands and avert its eyes from us at the same time.

    Now, we will support Israel because it’s the right thing to do. Israel shouldn’t be imperiled because of selfishness and shortsightedness in domestic American politics.

    But, it would be nice if Israels could bend the ears of their friends and families in the US, and tell them to stop worshiping at the altar of liberalsim and Democratic Party politics.

    Especially when Israel is imperiled.

    very afraid of of the judgement that will come down on this country.

    I must appologize first to those who do not believe in the Bible for what I am about to say…………Sorry!

    The Isrealites are the Almighty God’s chosen people. The Bible fortold that the end of times would be recognized by certain events, one which included Isreal regaining the land given to them by God. Pre 1930s, if you would have said Isreal would take their land back, defend their land, and gain recognition from the world, you would have been called crazy. Now they have it and the world is once again calling them the enemy. The Bible also shows that while God used other nations to punish Isreal, they always paid a great price.

    I believe one reason that we as a country have seen so many blessing is that not only did we favor Isreal, but God used us as a tool to help Isreal not only regain their land but gain recognition. The new administration and so many in this country hate Isreal. That hate and our governments treachery towards Isreal can do nothing but bring us punishment at the hand of God.

    Believe in the Bible or not, it matters little. We better understand and teach others to understand that our friendship of Isreal benefits this country. Even setting aside possible judgement from God, Isreal has been a true friend to this country in times we were surrounded by vipers. These actions will do nothing but harm us as Isreal will servive and flourish with out without us.

  • tecash

    that the Jews here have little to nothing to do with the Jews in Isreal. A great majority have never even stepped foot in Isreal.

    Many of the jews here have bought into the dependance theory and act accordingly. Barrack holds little favor in Isreal and if they could vote in our elections, he would get few votes from the Isrealis.

    There is a divine order to things on this Earth… everything in it’s right place.

    I lost my job in late 2008 (thanks for the crappy health care, Mr. President, can I have a job now?) and with 9 kids, my husband and I have felt a severe pinch ever since.

    As a Rabbi, my husband brings a sharp eye to topics such as these (even if what he brings in as a provider has left us tightening our belts till our we can feel our bellybuttons pressing into our spines.)

    Everything has its place, he says. God has seen fit to choose us, the Israelites, as his chosen people, and to place our fate under the protection of the greatest nation in the history of the world: the US of A.

    We know the rest of the story. There are forces allied against us. All out war is on the way. I’m with Moe: we need to fight, fight, fight until there’s nothing left. They are coming after us with everything they’ve got and we need to answer back ten fold. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. When violence is the only language that a group understands then one must speak the loudest. Blood may flow, but so will justice, honor, truth, facts.

    I’m with Moe. These people need to pay.

    And take Iran out first!!

  • Adjoran

    . . . and 10,000 flowers bloom!

    As Mark Steyn observes, Rosenberg is not just a typical leftist hack self-hating secular Jew, he is billed as a “Senior Foreign Policy Fellow” . . . Media Matters is a WEBSITE, a BLOG. It’s not a “think tank” by any stretch of the imagination.

    So just how do you get to be a “Senior Foreign Policy Fellow” at a blog, anyway? Does Rosenberg put a spit shine on Soro’s shoes?

    Uncle Moe, I think you should lobby for an even more grandiose title like “Exalted Poobah of Policy” or “Most High Guru Who Is Much Smarter Than M.J. Rosenberg” (the latter won’t fit well on an office door, but you must admit it has a nice ring to it).

    Israel has been an island of democratic stability in a sea of authoritarian regimes for 60 years. Supporting them is the right thing to do in the interest of human freedom.

    But as you say, elections have consequences, and the advocates of freedom are not calling the shots in the US today.

    Good luck to you, Israel. That’s all we can offer today.
