17. A sickening article from a sickening blogger...

but I wouldn't call this 'an Israeli perspective' so much as 'a right-wing Israeli-American perspective'.One could say that some of the more disagreeable aspects of the Middle East and the Mid-West are here rolled into one! But by no means all Israelis have such views (in fact many don't), and even those who do are usually not quite so obsessed with the evils of American Jewish Democrats.

Her other blog articles have lovely titles such as 'Shame on Jewish Democrats'; 'Betrayal of Israel by liberal Jews'; 'Defeating Obama is top priority' and 'No Chance for Peace'.

This is a quite ugly article, using the deaths of innocents to make a nasty political point. And it is very ahistorical. The Muslim Right, though it certainly does not help matters anywhere, was not, and is not even now, the sole reason for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most Arab states and the Palestinians were and are opposed to Israel for mainly nationalist reasons. The PLO/ Fatah is mainly secular. Arafat was not especially religious; neither, earlier, were Nasser and other Pan-Arabists. George Habash, one of the most extreme of all, was a Christian and not a Muslim at all.

This is a typical 'Everyone whom I dislike is somehow linked to everyone else whom I dislike' right-wing article.
