It always helps to look closely at food before you eat it. So here is the book that's being criticized in the next article: Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.

Purpose of the book: The ultimate purpose of my book is to present facts about the Middle East that are largely unknown in America, to precipitate discussion and to help restart peace talks (now absent for six years) that can lead to permanent peace for Israel and its neighbors. Another hope is that Jews and other Americans who share this same goal might be motivated to express their views, even publicly, and perhaps in concert. I would be glad to help with that effort.

Books thesis:
[1] Some Israelis believe they have the right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and aggravated Palestinians; and

[2] Some Palestinians react by honoring suicide bombers as martyrs to be rewarded in heaven and consider the killing of Israelis as victories.

What's needed:
a. The security of Israel must be guaranteed ...
b. The internal debate within Israel must be resolved in order to define Israel's permanent legal boundary ...
c. The sovereignty of all Middle East nations and sanctity of international borders must be honored ...[3]

I have yet to see where there is any bigotry towards the Jewish religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Peace_Not_Apartheid

Oh and the third article...here is the third articles author from Wiki:

Benkin owned and administered a nursing home, the Lexington Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, in Illinois, that ran afoul of the law. He eventually lost his license. A 2000 Chicago Tribune investigative series on Benkin revealed pervasive fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of patients’ rights, and maintenance of an environment seriously dangerous to highly vulnerable groups and individuals. [9]One of the investigative series’ co-authors, Michael J. Berens, who received a 2012 Pulitzer prize for a Seattle Times investigative series on elder abuse in Lexington Nursing & Rehabilitation Center . [10]

In June 2000, the Illinois State Department of Professional Regulation alleged that Benkin had lured a homeless 27 year old female drug addict into his “care” so as to have sex with her. Finally, the state closed the nursing home and in 2003 publicly announced the suspension of Benkin’s license.

That Israel isn't to blame for every problem in the Middle East, as the Palestinians and others in the area tend to think. And that Israel has shown remarkable restraint many times in the face of on-going attacks of various sorts from the Palestinians, Hezbollah, etc.

Re: 2nd Term, Part VI: Burnin' down the House

Back to the elections however. I'm surprised the incompetent Terry McAuliff could get elected dogcatcher in a place like New York City, let alone governor of Virginia. This is great news. Not for Virginia, where he could end up being the worst gov of all time, but for potential office seekers everywhere as he will no longer manage anybody's campaign. As a Dem I don't mind saying it. The Macker sucks. :D He's an awful political strategist and a failed businessman. The fact that the Republicans couldn't beat him in Virginia no less with a mainstream conservative tells you all you need to know about the state of the GOP. This would be like if Mittens campaign manager Stuart Stevens won in Maryland.

Let me make it more clear: I don't give a rat's a*s about the "Palestinians" (they were known, correctly, as Arabs before the creation of Israel). Half a century and more in "refugee" camps. Give me a break. The Arab dictators use the "plight of the Palestinians" as a bloody shirt to justify the lack of human rights and economic growth in their countries. King Hussein of Jordan learned the lesson of dealing with the "Palestinians" and kicked them out of his country (hence "Black September). Israel has repeatedly offered substantial concessions to various "Palestinian" leaders to no avail. Arafat (that terrorist and thief) walked away from a deal in which Israel offered 95% of what he demanded. This is the same "Palestinian" leader who wore a gun while speaking to the UN General Assembly. Who for years talked one way to gullible western journalists and another to his own people. Talking peace out of one side of his mouth and calling for the destruction of Israel out of the other. And to this day, "Palestinians" do not accept the existence of Israel and call for its elimination. So bleed all you want about the "Palestinians," it's a wasted effort with me.

Also with Leon Klinghoffer and Bobby Stethem.

Interesting. You can shake off the torpor and blather on for a dozen paragraphs defending that self-righteous anti-Semite Carter, but are unable to justify or explain calling the murders of four Americans in Benghazi the "Benghazi thingy."

It's always a good idea to indicate clearly what and who you're quoting. Failure to do so demonstrates a certain laziness. Certainly your post doesn't give anyone familiar with your "thinking" the notion that you've read Carter's book.

Its all political. A lot of this started with Tom DeLay, who thought he saw an opening with Jewish-American voters who lean Democratic and have since Harry Truman's day. Coupled with more conservative govts taking over in Israel (primarily Netanyahu) it seemed to dovetail together. As part of this strategy, you had to 1) agree with any position the Israeli leadership took on domestic security/foreign affairs, and 2) tag with the anti-Semitism charge any Dem politician who opposed such things as settlement construction or who proposed some sort of peace deal.

Oddly enough despite a massive outreach DeLay's vision never came true, as these voters still support the left in about the same #'s as they always did. Anti-Semitism is a pretty over the top charge to make over a political disagreement for reasonable people anyway.

I would point out that the Good Old USA confiscated and colonized lots of land in this country. We did it by the oldest right in the book - conquest.

Interestingly, the Japanese used our treatment of the Native Americans / Indians / Filipinos to justify their treatment of the Chinese / Koreans. Too bad they didn't have Kipling on their side.
 
Re: 2nd Term, Part VI: Burnin' down the House

The True Republican Party in all its glory.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/05/david-vitter-abortion-enda_n_4220105.html

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) is pushing for an abortion vote during this week's unrelated debate on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, three Senate aides confirmed Tuesday to The Huffington Post.

Vitter wants a vote on his proposed ban on sex-selective abortions as part of the amendment process for the LGBT workplace discrimination bill, according to Democratic and Republican aides, though the legislation has nothing to do with abortion. The Louisiana Republican first introduced his bill, the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act, in June 2012.

Don't do as I do. . . I take it as a compliment that even with your obviously limited intellectual ability you chose to emulate the best. Thank you.

BTW, reminding the ladies of the chorale that Joe Biden had a substantial plagiarism problem is not tu quoque argumentation. It would be if I suggested libtard posters had a plagiarism problem while they were criticizing an alleged plagiarism problem of mine ("you too"). Pointing out Biden's problem does serve to remind libtards once again of their flexible standards in these matters. Continue.
