Translation: What DH said: It's not really complex. What DH meant: You are stupid... What DH said: The Palestinians have been waging a holy war against Israel for decades. What DH meant: It all started when they hit us back. What DH said: Not once have they accepted Israel's right to exist, What DH meant: They have never accepted the "wisdom" of being booted out of their homeland as an apology to the Jewish people for the holocaust. What DH said: ...not once during the entire peace process (and of course before) have they renounced violence. What DH meant: Never have they refused to shoot back. DUHHHHHH! What DH said: Rocks are deadly, and the Palestinian violence that provoked the Israeli response was clearly designed to assert sovereignty over territory that is now Israel's. What DH meant: Might makes right! If you are Palestinian, you have no rights. What DH said: Only the feeble minded don't see that this is a declaration of war and an act of aggression. What DH meant: You are all too stupid to see the righteousness of Zionist oppression. What I say: Zionism is just another form of fascism. It takes two to make a battle. Laying blame on one party solely is less than wise, David. You are, by your own declaration, far too intelligent to miss that small and insignificant point.

"There are no innocents." Where have we heard that before? David Horowitz seems to be calling for total war, kill all the savages: all too familiar a cry in American history. But I would hate to see us exporting once again our notion of American exceptionalism, redemption-through-violence and offering it wholesale to a client state (whose claim to the moral high ground is sufficiently shrill as it is). Reprehensible rhetoric. The situation in the Near East is complex and it is a tinder-box. It needs neither Horowitz's black-and-white, reductionist moral perspective, nor his lucifer-match. One of these days David Horowitz is going to spontaneously combust like Detective Bucket in Dickens' Bleak House. Randy Fertel
