The Left and Israel
I just cannot believe what happens to liberals when it comes to Israel. It seems all rational thought goes out the door. If the republicans support Israel we must not.
When it comes Israel, the Liberals of the world seemt to take a harderline than the liberals of the arab world and in fact take the views of the crazy fanatics of the Arab world. Very Strange. In any case, in all this strangeness i found quite a nice post by Bill Maher at Arianna Huffington's blog: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/i-love-being-on-the-side-_b_25375.html
I have to say, watching George Bush talk about Israel the last week has reminded me of a feeling that I hadn't felt in so long I forgot what it felt like: the feeling of pride when your president says what you want your president to say, especially in a matter that chokes you up a bit. I surrender my credentials as Bush exposer - from the very beginning - to no man, but on Israel, I love it that a U.S. president doesn't pretend Arab-Israeli conflict is an even-steven proposition
You dont see that very often.
