Not.
Jeremy Boreing touches many of the points I’ve made on this here blog. (Jeremy, fwiw, is Christian).
I’ve been asked by Occasional Readers why I still support Israel.
My answer: Because it’s still right. Because it’s still good. While Hamas is still wrong. Hamas is still bad. While Iran’s tyrannical theocracy is still wrong. Is still bad.
All the noise, to constant repetition of hate to Jews and Israel, doesn’t make it right. It’s just proof, yet again, of Joseph Goebells “Big Lie” theory. Tell a big lie. The bigger the better. And tell it often. People will believe it. And today, weirdly, the Big Lie is coming from both Left and Right. The latter now called the Woke Reich…
Well, I don’t believe the Big Lie. Nor the one about Israel. And the Jews. Or about how Hamas are brave “resistance fighters”.
I still support Israel. Unequivocally. Staunchly.
For reasons I’ve often repeated here. Which Jeremy handily summarises for me.
Jeremy’s take down of Tucker Carlson’s ludicrous claim that America has “no strategic interest” in Israel is spot on. If Israel, if the Middle East is not strategically relevant, then the term has no meaning. Of course it’s relevant. Hugely so. Israel is very much the bulwark against a major victory for extremist Islam.
Jeeemy doesn’t mention the economic benefits to America and the world of israel. It’s inventions and investments. On the high tech NASDAQ index, for example, Israel has the third highest number of companies listed, after only China and America itself.
On a recent YouTube talk, Ambassador Mike Huckabee listed the number of Israeli-Jewish inventions that have benefitted mankind. Tell me a similar list from the Arab-Muslim world. Heh…
Here’s a list from AI:
• Drip irrigation system
• USB flash drive (Disk-on-Key)
• PillCam (capsule endoscopy)
• Waze navigation app
• Israeli emergency bandage
• Mobileye driver assistance system
• ReWalk exoskeleton
• Cherry tomato
• Polio vaccine (Jonas Salk)
• Ballpoint pen (László Bíró)
• Oral contraceptive pill contributions
• ICQ instant messaging
• Firewall technology (initial versions)
• Solar water heater advancements
• Copaxone (multiple sclerosis treatment)
But, you know, “Jews be Bad”…
