Israel at 60: A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Ambassador Marc Ginsberg makes the case that Palestinains must accommodate Israeli recalcitrance to abide by more than 70 United Nations Resolutions requesting among other things that Israel give up conquered territories--the West Bank for starters.

Ambassador Ginsberg's bizarre condition for peace is tantamount to suggesting the abused wife whose nightly beatings from a drunken husband force her to flee to a shelter should make a greater effort at rapprochment (definitely her own fault), maybe not lift a hand to ward off more blows or refrain from seeking a safe haven outside the home.

I recommend Ambassador Marc Ginsberg acquaint himself with the Founding Principles of the American Jewish organizaton Brit Tzedek v"Shalom (a few of the principles are the return of all occupied terrortories, an end to state-sponsored terrorism, an end to the occupation, and a just settlement for those driven from ancestoral homes) or some of the writings of "Jewish Voice for Peace"!

Even though I am not a Jew, I have been supporting both organizations with thousands of dollars in their efforts to find a peaceful settlement in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East should be the goal of every reasonable American.

Instead of American admnistrations giving billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, these administrations should devote all their energy to securing justice; then peace will flow like a mighty tsunami. posted 05/12/2008 at 22:41:57

McCain Gaffe -- It Wasn't on Our Minds

Senator John McCain chose to follow a family tradition of military service. No human being merits criticism for such familial loyalty: the parent's profession or occupation usually generates respect or admiration from the children. However, for a person to change professions but remain locked into the value structure of the original vocation or refuse to extricate himself or herself from the parameters of that life's work that was devoted to terminating the existence of objects or human beings as war requires raises serious questions. posted 03/24/2008 at 15:17:58
