Right Wing News

By Diana Hsieh

John Hawkins of Right Wing News has a delightful rant on why he supports Israel. My favorite passage:

It's all well and good to sit around at cafes in France and sneer at Israel because you don't think they're living up to some impossible ethical standard that's been applied to them, but it's another thing to be in their shoes, surrounded by 300 hundred million hostile Arabs who want to finish the job Hitler started in WW2. They're not dealing with reasonable, rational, civilized people. They're dealing in large part with terrorists and savages who claim to be thrilled when their own children die as long as they take Israeli civilians with them. To expect Israel to deal with the Palestinians as if they were a bunch of snot nosed globalization protestors at a G8 summit is irrational to the point of insanity.


As he says, Israel is just the appetizer, but we are the main course.
