Founded on the idea that it would provide a safe haven from persecution for Jews
worldwide, Israel is now the most dangerous place in the world for a Jew to live.
Although Iranian Jews harassed by security services and offered rosy futures by the
Jewish National Agency are making aliyah when they can, even Iran is safer for a Jew
than Israel. And the result is clear: 2007 was the first year since the early 1980s that
emigration from Israel exceeded immigration.
The centrist ruling party Kadima, just decided to support a proposal to disqualify the
mostly Arab Balad party from Februarys elections, because Balad calls for Israel to be a
multiethnic democracy with equality for all, rather than a Jewish state; according to
Kadima, this means that Balad wants to destroy Israel. Democratically calling for
democracy is illegal in Israel.
Last but hardly least, David Sanger reports in the New York Times, corroborating an
earlier report in the Guardian, that last year Israel requested advanced military equipment
and the right to overfly Iraq in order to mount a raid on Irans nuclear site at Natanz, and
was turned down by President Bush, who was alarmed at the possibility that such a raid
could ignite a broad Middle East war, while simultaneously accomplishing little but
driving Irans nuclear program further underground. When George Bush is the voice of
sanity, when you need a reality check from the man who doesnt believe in reality, you
have a problem.
Of course, the real problem is that the Palestinians are crazy. Ask anyone in Congress.
