Ynet Talkback

There has been a parade of liberals running through Israel and the surrounding areas, everyone from John Kerry to Dennis Kucinich. These lovers of peace yearn to do for the Jewish State what they did for Cambodia. Having learned nothing from the Pol Pot experience, they yet again insist that there exists a struggle between the cruel forces of Western imperialism and the persecuted indigenous peoples who are represented by freedom fighters….and while those freedom fighters pledge to commit genocide, let's not be overly concerned by the heated rhetoric of the moment.

Sure, the Palestinians may say they want to kill Jews, but what they mean is that they want peaceful coexistence with their cherished Jewish brethren.

It is the same recurring liberal fable that has literally claimed millions of innocent lives worldwide. Once more, the Democratic Party cannot distinguish between good and evil, even when evil is screaming at the top of its lungs about the atrocities it intends to commit. To Kerry and company, the problem is not the genocidal maniacs, be they the Khmer Rouge or the Viet Cong or Fatah or Hamas. The problem as they see it is that America's ally is imperfect. The solution as they see it - as liberals always see it - is to appease implacable murderers. And the more that strategy leads to mass murder, the more convinced liberals become that it is the only true way to peace.

Yet none dare call it insanity.
