[url=http://www.amconmag.com/12_15_03/buchanan.html]Stand Up to Sharon[/url]
by Pat Buchanan December 15, 2003
Sharon should be told to vacate every settlement and outpost put up since Bush took office and to tear down any part of his new wall that encroaches on the land of the coming nation of Palestine. Else, American aid stops.
If this undermines Sharon, so much the better. If we are to preach democracy to the Arabs, let us also preach it to the regime that claims to be the only democracy in the region as it holds three million persecuted Palestinians in human bondage.
As Israel's benefactor and guardian, we have a right to demand that our values be respected in her treatment of the Palestinians, that our vital interests always be kept in mind, as they have rarely been in 50 years.
If Mr. Burg can stand up to Sharon, why cannot Mr. Bush?

I was struck by this: [QUOTE] Twenty-seven Israeli Air Force pilots have refused to obey "immoral orders" for air strikes on "populated civilian centers." [/QUOTE] Does anyone know how many air strikes have taken place? I've only heard of the one where Bush muttered something about "heavy-handed".

No, I can't tell you off the top of my head.

For Bush to stand up to Sharon suggests that Bush is at odds with Israel's policies. He's not but is compelled to be perfunctory to keep everyone believing he's his own man. Fat chance. I've come to believe that the objectives of the globalists and those of Israel, while not precisely the same, are compatible and overlap, in much the same way JP Morgan's unadulterated capitalism walked hand-in-hand with the Bolshevik Revolution.

One of Pat's better articles for sure.
Probably my favorite part.
"Are Israeli Jews willing to practice in their country what American Jews preach in ours, equality and multiculturalism?"
