IS every conservative op-ed writer a fool and a liar? Robert A. George calls Israel "a free society living in the middle of intolerance". This "free society" is a hellhole of violence and oppression, violence CAUSED by oppression of the legitimate demands of Arabs for equal treatment under law. How free and tranquil would the United States be if we tried to suppress black aspirations with military force?

There is only one way to defuse violence: do justice. Israel won't do that, so Israel will ALWAYS have violence. And let's cut the crap: count the bodies. Israel is not a blameless victim but a mass murderer. The only difference between "terrorists" and state terrorism is uniforms, and when you count the dead, it becomes plain that Zionists are far the worse terrorists. Americans must be forgiven if they "evenhanded"ly feel, "A plague on both your houses." But the Zionists have dragged us into this vile war on their side, and we are now legitimate targets for Arab rage. If we can't save Palestine from violence, we can at least save ourselves. We must end all support for Israel and let the Arabs and Zionists fight it out between themselves. (Responsive to "Slaying the Past", 3/23/04)
