As
I have blogged in the past about my experience with stumbleupon.com and it’s
cadre of what I call cultist liberals there is one who stands out. She purports to be an esteemed journalist with
her own website http://www.couplescompany.com. It is Funny how the main political issue on
her mind is the Palestinian Israeli conflict.
As
Palestinians are an oppressed economically challenged group she weaves a thread
of truth into her ideological poison.
Often she refers to things such as ‘the lobby’ in her diatribes on
Zionism. One would get the idea that Israel is a racist apartheid group of all powerful
demons. She will profess fealty and love for ‘True
Torah Jews’ and how Sephardic Jews will not recognize Israel until the Messiah makes his first coming. She feels there are Zionist at every turn and
we need to embrace the cause of the freedom fighters I like to call terrorist.
While
I am not an apologist for all actions on the part of Israel, I do feel it is incumbent to continue to support Israel. The reason
is clear. They belong there. I think the Palestinians could belong as well
in a two state nation of coexistence. There seems to be and interesting ouroboros of intractability where every atrocity is documented and sometime embellished
for posterity. Both sides are guilty to
one extent or another. What I see is
that one side has given land and would give land for peace. The other side wants to beat there chest
about the deep wounds that can not be forgiven.
If it had to come down to an eye for an eye than I think there would be
many one eyed Israelis and quite a mass of blind Palestinians.
I
like to use the word coexistence in a true
desire that there is peace in the Middle East. Yet after all the blood on both sides what
would that look like?
