Reader comment on: On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda
Submitted by Dan, Mar 24, 2009 16:56
I think these college campus protesters are people who actually hate their own country, the United States of America, and have a need to lash out using Israel as a proxy for their anger. We are at an odd point in history because the US government itself is now a fully radicalized leftist institution, with the most leftward leaning president in its history in power. Still, we have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a President who may soon begin to understand that it takes more than exoriating businessmen, military leaders, and "Republicans" to run a country. Also there are still rich folks and poor folks. And we're still driving cars powered by gasoline. So for the hardcore radicals among us, President Obama will eventually "sell out," if he hasn't already. So, who does the left cast as the villian? Israel. The Jewish State is the proxy for the western culture they despise. This is a vile self hatred, and a cultural toxin.Note: Comments are screened, and in some cases edited, before posting.

The Religious War in the Middle East
by Ali Salim
The proposal of the United States for a Palestinian state and a joint Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli policing mechanism in the Jordan Valley seems like a pipe dream. That sort of suggestion, disconnected from reality, clearly indicates a dangerous lack of awareness concerning the increasing militant Islamic aggression toward Israel and the West.

And the Winner is... Iran's Nuclear Program

Khamene'i has again proven what a great master strategist he is. He has succeeded in pacifying the West and his own people, thus buying the time his scientists need to complete his nuclear project.
Beheading, According to the Koran
by Lawrence A. Franklin
Saladin even ordered each cleric in his army personally to behead at least one knight. We should expect no less gruesome a fate than the Knight warriors of Christendom, the townspeople of Otranto or British Sergeant Lee Rigby.
