Entry: To Hell with Joe Klein! Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/to_hell_with_joe_klein#32712 Post contents: Professor PG, "(n)ot that Israelis have an especially unfriendly or tyrannical government. Compared to most of their neighbors, their regime looks positively angelic; and in terms of the protection of civil liberties, I would feel much safer in Israel today than I would in any of the politically correct “democracies” in Western and Central Europe. The problem." You are a visiting American of Jewish background - do non-Jewish residents and citizens of Israel enjoy the same civil rights you would? I hope the killing and dispossession of the Palestinians ends, as we as the safety of the Israeli Jews insured. Does this make me "pro-Palestinian"? The Israeli centgov is nasty - people who rightly or wrongly believe they are under an existential threat can be brutal in reaction. I am on the side of the Iraqi patriots, just as I support anyone whose country is invaded without a shred of just war rationale. I am especially critical of the Israeli centgov for its and its US amen corner for trying once again to get the US centgov to destroy another country on the Israeli hit list. Rather than trying to marginalize those on the right who do not share your opinions regarding the above, can you explain your support for the Iraqi invasion,as well as your current position re: the Iraqi debacle? I would also be interested in hearing your take on the Jewish right of return to the Arab countries from which they were driven - since the Palestinians should have the ability to return to their homes, so likewise the dispossessed Jews.
