There were several main goals of President Bush’s recent address to the Knesset in Jerusalem: to reinforce the perception that the government of America is a staunch friend of Israel; to shore up the expulsion regime of the American elite’s client regime headed by Ehud Olmert; to soften up the hearts and heads of Israeli Jews to accept more ‘painful sacrifices’ for ‘peace’; to distract attention from America’s arming and training of Fatah and to draw a facile distinction between Iran, Fatah and Hamas; and to roil the superficial debate between the GOP, ‘Team Red’ and the Donkeys, ‘Team Blue’ about which has done more to empower jihad and world disorder…a tough call.

Every year during the month of Iyar, sometime in May, debate resumes in Israel about whether those who love and seek the sovereignty and settlement of a Jewish state at least in all the land west of the Jordan should celebrate the official independence day Iyar 5 (this year, May 8) [1]. Given the failure of every government, increasingly obvious since 1967 and in place with ’official’ Zionist leaders by 1930, to fulfill this promise, some argue that to celebrate the existence of a State that works with the enemies of the Jewish people to frustrate redemption is confusion and self-contempt.

A professional athlete says “it’s good to be a ‘glass is half full’ kind of person.” Since he’s very wealthy and lots of people see things this way, let’s agree too, even though the festivities planned for Israel’s sixtieth birthday bash are enough to pain anyone who cares (AP 4-09-08). When Barbra Streisand sings Avinu Malkeinu to Kings Shimon, Bush, and Princess Tony, what’s not to like? - American Bandstand goes global. Pop culture and post-modern reversions of history swallow the land of life. The Oligarchs, Jewish flacks in tow, give the lie to Scripture. Massada is designated Judaism’s holiest site. Is this defeat or will these end-game insults strengthen the flame? Read the rest of this entry »
