And sad to say, Charles, they won't do anything this time, either.
But again, thank you so much for exposing all of this vile, hateful garbage on Obama's Official Website.
Rush has covered it.
I wrote to ABC new on line (and it was the top comment of MANY comments) about the great work you've done - and rebutting the "readers'" comment as Instapundit.
Sure would be nice if a few of us contacted other news sites on line with link's to Charles' threads.

It's been proven time and again that Israel can, in fact, stand on its own, even when vastly outnumbered. The territory commonly referred to as Palestine, however, is exactly as you called it: A fake country, which only stands because the liberal elite prop it up.

re: #1 zombie

Digg used to be somewhat cool back when it was mostly techies trading tech stories. Now it's mostly politics and jumped the shark. Happens to most "social bookmarking" type sites. Tend to get taken over by cliques of those who have the most free time and develop a sense of "ownership" of the community.

I am "only" 53, but I can't remember an election that has released so much Jew hating in my life time. And that includes when Lieberman ran with That fat bastard ( I can't seem to recall his name? ).

If Jews are responsible for all kinds of nastiness in the world, how are they not capable of keeping Israel sovereign?

From the Digg post:

Israel is a fake country if it can't stand on its own.

Gah what a standard!
The U.S. needed French help to win the American Revolution, obviously we're a fake country. Any country that needs allies to repel aggression is a fake country by that standard.

Israel can stand on its own. If anything, the support and security cooperation with the US, probably prevents situations from arising where Israel would be obligated to launch a devastating military response to some provocation.

I'm quite certain Israel could wipe out the military of every single hostile nation in its vicinity within days, as it has demonstrated more than once in the past.

Perhaps LGF didn’t know this but up until this year we were sending more foreign aid to Israel than all of Africa.

Yes, because the U.S. recieves a return on its investment in the form of jobs, advanced medical technology and an exchange of military equipment and intelligence.

Conversely, throwing money at African dictators (and the "Palestinians") does not result in the same gains.

Israel is a fake country if it can’t stand on its own.

Oh the irony, it's your precious "Palestine" that's fake.

attn: Digbatts

I don't know if it's true that America sends more aid to Israel than Africa. What I do know is that every developed country in the world sends money to Africa, as do thousands of charities.

Africa has a wealth of minerals, diamonds, gold, oil and fertile land. It has been receiving billions of dollars of aid for decades and it is still no closer to solving its problems.

Israel receives aid because it is under constant threat of obliteration from extremist regimes and deranged terrorists that surround it.

Despite these constant threats Israel has provided the world with a wealth of technical and medical benefits.

In terms of equality, freedom of religion, freedom of sexuality and democracy it has shown an example to the entire barbarous region.

So ask us why we think it's antisemitic when people like you call it a fake country.

Ask us why we think you're antisemitic when you are blind to the faults of the surrounding countries, yet grotesquely distort Israel's conduct, ignore its circumstance and parrot every bit of fascist propaganda.

Ask us why we think you are antisemities when you deliberately compare the Jewish homeland the the Nazi regime that tried to wipe out the Jews.

Would you casually trow in "slavery" jibes against black people? No because you only pick on America and Israel, you fucking hypocritical, fascist turds.

Ask us why we think you are antisemites when, in a world that includes the gay-hangers of Iran, the head-choppers of Saudi, the religion suppressors of China, the genocidal regime in Sudan, Robert Mugabe, North Korea and Cuba, you selectively pick out the Jewish homeland AND ONLY the Jewish homeland for your abuse and boycotts.

These Judeofacists and their Neocon comrades have already destroyed America - we will need a new constitution to redress the crimes these Neocons (Israeli-firsters) have brought upon us. The entire Congress should be overthrown by revolution for having sold America to the Israelis - for $165K a year our Congress has sold or cowered before AIPAC, the American Enterprise Institute , and Israel. There is no longer an America - there is a slavish, blackmailed, cowardly group of trash - land of the slaves, home of the cowards. Those are our 'American values' - that is who we are. Our attack on Iran will be the END of America - we deserve everything we get - for the centuries it takes - to avenge the war crimes that have been committed in our names, with our tax dollars, with the perverts we have elected. fini America - we never faced down Krystol and Dershowitz and called them the Judeofacist semites they are until it was too late. How cute. How cowardly. How pathetic

How about a baseball team ? The Iranians could negotiate to join and stop with the nukes.

I don't recall seeing any American troops fighting along side Israeli's in the various wars brought on Israel by their loving Arab neighbors. To me that would be fine, I'd rather US soldiers fight for a people worth the lives and $$$ than these Islamic countries in which we are now embroiled, (well, at least Kuwait is still fairly grateful).

Now lets get the F-22's to the Israeli Air Force since our pathetic congress can't bring it upon themselves to do a thing about Iran than try to appease the tyrants.

I'm jewish, and my parents immigrated to Canada from the former USSR, so my Dad has always leaned to the more conservative side of things because he has seen how bad things can get when everyone moves too far left.

re: #80 uptight

Hmm.. requirements for a country? If that's the case, then the Palestinians would have nothing. Ever.

They don't have a government, have been on the UN dole for 60 years, and not only do they continue to engage in terrorism, but have engaged in rampant corruption and graft in that time that would make Ivan Boesky blush.

Israel, in contrast, not only boasts a vibrant economy that is the envy of every other country in the region - because it is not based solely on the price of oil, but it has beer, baseball, football, and gorgeous women. Oh, and a military and weapons of a nature that it will neither confirm nor deny, though Jimmy Carter would have you believe that they have nukes.

Roughly 10% of the aid given to Israel economic aid, the rest is military.

Looking at this link our friend the Egyptians receive almost as much as Israel

100% of the aid to Africa is economic.

My question to Mr. Diggs is; how many of the countries in Africa have ever been able to sustain themselves? How my countries in Africa support the US? What countries in Africa are lending support to the WOT?

You can "blame" Bush for the latter (and I say that with some sense of irony).

Why send money to Africa when it just ends up in the pockets of corrupt dictators? If the goal is to help Africans, there are much more effective ways those dollars can be spent.

Also, perhaps the Israel-hater who made the above comment didn't know this, but every American dollar sent to Israel is matched by American dollars sent to Jordan and Egypt (which happens to be in Africa, last I checked).

In terms of popular sentiment, Jordan happens to be the single most anti-American countries on the face of the Earth. Egypt isn't that much better.

In terms of return on investment, sending money to Israel, the only true democracy in the entire Middle East, is by FAR the better choice than those other places.

The old quip is that Jews earn like Episcopaleans, but vote like Puerto Ricans.

Jews have been traditionally liberal, and going back a long time, the Republican party was considered anti-Semitic. So to some extent this is "tradition".

I'm going to let the experienced lizards sort it out.

"Israel is a fake country if it can’t stand on its own."

I assume the diggots are trying to say that Israel is a failed state.
There is obviously some wishful thinking going on by these illiterates, since the reality is that Israel is a very real nation by any standards and has thrived and blossomed for 60 years in an inhospitabitable desert of mindless hate. U.S. aid for Israel has always been provided on the basis that a strong Israel is in the best interests of the U.S.
AM YISRAEL CHAI.

Bullcutter is getting taken to the woodshed over there for his outburst.

Someone tell the little pissant at Digg that unlike any other country we send foreign aid, Israel is the only nation that spends virtually every penny of that foreign aid here in the US.

3 Billion a year gets pumped into our economy because they choose to spend their money here. Jobs, research and ongoing investment in this country comes about as a result of the choice the Israelis make.

Virtually every other foreign aid recipient takes the money and runs.

They are antisemites, and they want to see Israel destroyed.

(Seems to me, by the way, that we give a lot of aid to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and, of course, the "noble", oppressed Palestinians---with far less payback and support than we get from Israel. And if Gaza isn't a failed state, howcomz its supporters always become enraged when Israel cuts off its electricity, or the US holds back on aid? If they are, indeed, a real country, why can't they support themselves?)

Bye folks; I'm signing out. I've been logged on at work (it's a slow day) and I'm amazed at how quickly everything moves on a modern machine! (I can't wait till I can afford to buy a new computer... sob... my computer is ancient... poor me...)

U.S. aid for Israel has always been provided on the basis that a strong Israel is in the best interests of the U.S.

You know, in many ways Israel was a very real state even before it was officially declared independent. It had its own culture, language, economy, education system, all of it... long before 1948. All those who refuse to "recognize" the state of Israel, are just living in their own fantasy land.

Israel is here, has been here (officially) for 60 years, (unofficially for decades earlier as the Yishuv), and will be here forever. Whether they like it or not.

Am Yisrael Chai, indeed! =)

HELL YES!

Just join the Aryan Nations, you guys! Embrace your inner Nazi! Stop pretending your Jew hate is inspired by the plight of the oppressed Palestinians (for whom you really don't give a damn), or worry about the foreign aid we send it (we send far more to far less worthy countries.)

re: #93 rlevitin

You know, I've actually been wondering the same thing for a while. So many jews are very liberal and vote democratic, it sorta boggles my mind.
Could it just be a backlash against the what the far-right did to them in Germany?

I'm jewish, and my parents immigrated to Canada from the former USSR, so my Dad has always leaned to the more conservative side of things because he has seen how bad things can get when everyone moves too far left.

A misguided passion for tradition? :-)

On a serious note, Dennis Prager did a 5 part series on why Jews vote liberal. I think the habit began with the Russian revolution, when Bolsheviks seemed to be friendlier to Jews than the Czar had been. Of course, the resulting communism was no good for Russian Jews. But many Jews have been at the forefront of socialist movements, with a seeming inability to learn from the Soviet Union. At one time, Dems in America were less anti-semitic than staunch conservatives, so I could sort of understand why Jews got in th ehabit of voting Dem. The problem is that too many Jews of today have not gotten the word that liberals are not our friends anymore.

By the way, Hitler and the Nazi party were leftist.

re: #118 american jewess in jerusalem

I also happen to be Canadian, and I'm proud to say I think that trend is changing. Here is a nice column from the Canadian Jewish News highlighting what I am talking about. Since the Harper government was voted in, I think Canadian Jews are realizing they can get so much more out of the conservative leadership.

I was at the Israel @ 60 celebrations in Toronto, and saw Harper's Speech When he was introduced, the 7000-strong crowd went wild, and his speech was fantastic. When Ontario's Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty's speech was introduced (he sent in a video), practically the whole crowd was either booing or staying dead silent.

/Here's to hoping this trend continues

Wow- bullcutter's really going off in the comments now.

I think he's pat buchanan.

Phew! Sorry to be so incoherent in my last post, but---Buddha on a circus pony! Enough is enough!

Hard Right is right. It would be nice if the Israel-hating diggbats (and KOS, and all the other leftwing antisemites) would just come out of the closet, flaunting their brown shirts and go goose-stepping off into the sunset, to join their soul brothers in the Aryan Nation, or any other neo-Nazi group they can latch onto. Then, at least, they'd have to drop the pretence that they're just sensitive, tolerant souls who are ever so worried about how those horrid Israelis are treating the poor, innocent, lovable, oppressed Palestinians.

The US has not always been Isreal's protector and shield. In fact, successive US Govt's,while passively sympatheticto the Jewish state,regarded it generally as an embarrassment and kept it at arm's length for the first twenty years of its existence.

Democratic president Harry Truman, privately the most virulent anti-Semite ever to sit in the Oval Office, later claimed to be a warm, appreciative friend of Israel, but in office he wasn't. Truman's two secretaries of state George Marshall and Dean Acheson, certainly weren't. Truman didn't lift a finger to provide any significant official US military or civilian aid to Israel.

re: #119 rlevitin

That's so good to hear! And it seems that we have Israel friendly leaders (relatively speaking) in Germany, France, and now Italy with the re-election of Berlesconi; if we can just get some conservatives in power in Israel and the U.S., we will be on our way to winning this battle that must be fought and won. I think we lost the conservative leader in Australia, unfortunately.

re: #93 rlevitin
re: #118 american jewess in jerusalem

Well, that makes sense. I'll go onto Prager's site and maybe it is there. I can understand better Israel's socialism because her leaders in the beginning were socialists that knew survival depended on everyone banding together for the common good and defense.

How anyone can say that Israel is a failed state has never been there, or read history, or simply is an anti-Semite. Maybe we just visited the "good" places, but I was as impressed as I knew I would be. Even alone I was warmly welcomed and was even invited by a group of school children and their teacher to join their tour of the Knesset when it looked as though I may not be able to go in because it was in session. Apparently to Israeli security even little blond Americans are suspicious, I was only allowed into the visitors gallery maned by very friendly guards! But never mind, next time!

I regret we could not go into Bethlehem, because that terrible Yeshiva attack had just taken place and our Israeli guides could not accompany us when Israel had closed the borders. Frankly I didn't feel comfortable going with Palestinians. I do have a Franciscan contact, but not on that short notice. Next time! I will make arrangements to do that with him so that I can visit their facilities.

You can see I do indeed intend to visit again, no matter what happens to the price of petrol. There is just so much more to experience that one trip is just not enough and nothing American Jews do in a voting booth will keep me from supporting Israel.

re: #126 CLLRusso

Well, we love you guys who come over here to visit us and aren't afraid. We need you and it is so appreciated.

I hope that you will get to see Bethlehem, but I'm afraid that you might be disappointed. The Muslims have run almost all the Christians out of town, and I hear it has really changed the atmosphere, for the worse, of course. You might consider visiting Hebron and the graves of the patriarchs/matriarchs. It is housed in a building that is the only completely intact example of Herodian architecture remaining in Israel.
I assume you went to Tiberias; that area is the loveliest in Israel. I much prefer the Galil to the Golan.

Knesset security is very, very tight. You will find in other parts of Israel that profiling is used liberally, which means that little blonde Americans more often than not get waved on through! I LOVE profiling! It makes so much sense.

re: #127 American Jewess In Jerusalem
I read a couple of Prager's articles, thanks!

I didn't mind any of the Israeli security, it made me feel secure-but I NEVER felt anything but safe in Israel. Our Israeli guides were amazing, so competent that ever though mine was a secular Jew that didn't believe in G-d, and had little patience, (he did have 30 other people to herd) the wretch still knew more about the Bible than I do, or at least could apply it historically to each site so perfectly that a lack of conviction did not matter.

The Franciscan priest I am determined to meet is the president of the Palestinian Foundation of Jerusalem so I am aware of the Christian problems in Bethlehem, and that the vast percentage has been driven out by Muslims after the Oslo agreements, I don't think most Christians are aware of this here. Though I am not Catholic, I certainly support the work the Franciscans do there in trying to sustain the Christian community in Judea and Samaria and Christian sites in Israel. Just as I believe it is our imperative to support Jewish Israel.

My favorite spot was up in the north, near Tiberius, Mt. Beatitude we Christians call it, in the Galilee, and Kibbutz Kfar Blum where we stayed a bit further north. But I loved the Golan from a historical perspective, and better understand security concerns now that I have stood on one of those Syrian gun emplacements pointed down at the Hula Valley. It is good that the Golan is again a part of Israel where it belongs.

Well I could go on and on! I love your country and I will do everything possible to keep you safe. Currently working to elect McCain president is, I believe, our current best hope.

As of right now, this Digg post only has a measly 5 diggs. By putting on the front page of LGF, you gave it a flood of traffic it wouldn't have otherwise had.
