You are right. We do not disagree except on the fringes and tone perhaps.<br /><br />I think it's okay to make comparisons about behavior of actors.<br /><br />The closest to Nazis, to me, are the adherents of the Mufti and al-Banna, although that is taboo to raise for many, despite the historical basis.<br /><br />Leftists, on the other hand, behave in the tradition of Lenin and Stalin, and are extremely hostile to free expression of others. <br /><br />Of course, it's more complex, and there is overlap. Both sides share a totalitarian concept of governance.<br /><br />As to Israel's standing, did you see this article that shows Americans are not about to abandon Israel?<br /><br />http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/149644#.Tr7DZ_KwW3d<br /><br /><i>Netanyahu received an average score of 52.3 in the poll, compared to only 51.5 which Obama received. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas scored 26.8 while his rival Hamas received an average score of 19.5. The Lebanon-based Hizbullah terror group received an average score of 20.1.<br /><br />Most of the respondents – 60% – said they believe Netanyahu is making efforts to achieve a peace agreement with the PA. Of these, 11% said that the Prime Minister is making enormous efforts to achieve peace.<br /><br />Conversely, 52% of respondents thought that Abbas does not aspire to reach peace with Israel through negotiations. Of these, 15% said that Abbas has been making no attempt to negotiate with Israel and 39% said that Abbas is making efforts to reach a peace agreement.<br /><br />The poll also found that Israel’s popularity has increased among Americans and is at its highest since 2007.</i>oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353448821649374270.post-48869520503088167042011-11-12T10:51:56.651-08:002011-11-12T10:51:56.651-08:00Heya School,
nicely said.
It's difficult for...Heya School,<br /><br />nicely said.<br /><br />It's difficult for me to see exactly where we disagree.<br /><br />My view, as you know, is that Jewish people should boycott the Democratic Party, at least for this cycle, due to the party's complicity in advancing the anti-Zionist movement.<br /><br />It is time, as people who care about Israel, to send a strong message to the party leadership that we will not tolerate the American president telling Jews where they may be allowed to live in the Jewish city of Jerusalem.<br /><br />As for demonization of progressives or Democrats, your message is received and it is something that I will keep in mind.<br /><br />Perhaps it will disincline me from comparing progressives to Nazis!<br /><br />:O)<br /><br />You are, btw, free to cross-post your material at my place if you so wish.<br /><br />Just say the word and I will give you the keys to the car.<br /><br />Cheers!Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.com
