The Washington Post Questions Bush's Israel Policy
[07.21.2006]
Today, The Washington Post bemoans what it perceives to be Bush's too pro-Israel position. Bush is depicted as abandoning what the Post sees as America's traditonal role of honest broker.
The Post trots out leftists like Robert Malley to make its case.
The tone of the article suggests that the Post's view of the world is being undermined by a President who understands the need to wage war against evil.
Thank-you afor these open and honest comments. I support Israel.

Who reads the Washington Post anyway? Just the Liberals! If the general public really thinks this way and if our government subscribes to this thought process, they will soon be lobbing those missiles and rockets right into our cities. It would not surprise me for it to happen across our porous borders. I really think the mechanisms for a dirty bomb or something that could very serious damage are already in place. They are just waiting for the signal and the trigger will be pulled. Then the Post will sing a different tune, if, indeed it can still sing.

It has never been popular to stand for the minority opinion, especially when there is such a bias against having any fair and open discussion. President Bush may have done a lot of not so smart things, but he is RIGHT when he is right. It is amazing that the conservative side is way more open than the the liberal.

Does the Post think ALL Americans are stupid? People may not always respond to the lies that the Post prints, but that doesn't mean they're convincing everyone. Most Americans can think for themselves.

Should FDR have been an 'honest broker' between the Nazi's and europe in WW2. The Isreali's are right! Is there anyone in their right mind who thinks that there would be a war in the middle east if Isreal's nieghbors were Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Finland. The reason you have war in the middle east is because Isreal is surrounded by Muslim nations who hate jews. In that situation Bush shouldn't be an 'honest broker'. He should do what is right.

I believe that Israel should remove all Hezzbolah from Lebanon, then go after Syria, the more they kill the less America will have to do. and maybe we should ship some of our terrorist loving liberals over there to join them.

I completely agree and am proud of our president to be on the side of Israel and not on the side of Hezbollah which started and continue to send rockets into civilian areas. Wouldn't you react like Israel if this was done in your cioty? I am proud of the stand that our president Bush has taken.

The Washington Post has it's own agenda of trying to make Israel look like an agressor; when in fact the terrorist for years and years have contnually sought to destroy them. It is easy for them to report what they think in their cozy office buildings because they have no one dropping rockets on their positions. They do not promote good journalism;and I certainly do not belive in what their uninformed opinions state.

The left has a pension for making an outlandish statement as if it were fact and then based on that falsehood proceeds to project future sequence of events. For example; "...the Israeli campaign in Lebanon in the early 1980's helped create the conditions for the rise of Hezbollah? Then they go on implying that regardless of who started the conflict Israel the cause of all the trouble in the Middle East. This gets people trying to argue about the assumption not lie it is based on.

The Washington Post has had an anti-Israel slant to its reporting for as long as I can remembers (and I've been a subscriber to it for a LONG time) Hezzbolah starts the problem, continues to send rockets into civilian areas and the Post thinks Israel is over-reacting. As a Washingtonian, if someone shot a missile at us, I'd expect a much stronger response than Israel is showing...and so would the Washington Post's writers and editors.
