Glenn Beck heading to Israel again – for summer rally

[azurnoir]

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck, among others, plans a dramatic rally in Israel this August to show support for the Jewish state.

Beck announced on Monday that in response to growing calls for the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state this September at the United Nations, he would hold a “Restoring Courage” rally in Jerusalem just weeks before the UN convenes.

“They are going to attack the center of our faith, our common faith, and that is Jerusalem,” beck said. “And it won’t be with bullets or bombs. It will be with a two-state solution that cuts off Jerusalem, the old city, to the rest of the world. It is time to return inside the walls that surround Jerusalem and stand with people of all faiths all around the world.”

The Israeli rally will be a variation of last summer’s “Restoring Honor” rally, held in Washington, DC. The commentator expects that this time there will be a full week of rally-related activities.

1. I normally don't say this and

probably am calling some bad juju on myself, but maybe some Palestinian nationalists will attack and get rid of Beck for good?

4. That's just stupid

You should edit your post. It's rather unseemly to wish death upon those you disagree with. All you're doing is giving ammunition to those who portray the left as hypocritical.

5. I don't just disagree with Beck

He goes against everything that I am and believe. He is scum, as bad as Hitler and Osama Bin Laden, but he used his evil in a different was. Instead of killing people, he has corrupted an entire group in the population. He is not recognized for how dangerous he truly is, and with a simple turn of fate, he could have become a serial killer, or a terrorist mastermind, or if give control of a country he could commit genocide. Those are things I have no doubt about.

6. I think it's a stretch to compare Glenn Beck to Hitler . . .

If Glenn Beck had never been born, I imagine most of his supporters would believe a lot of the same things they do now. I think you're giving him way too much credit.

7. I think you are under estimating Beck and his followers

and I think many people underestimate them, labeling them stupid and ignorant. If you under estimate your enemies, and don't kid yourself they are all of our enemies, you will be defeated by them.

8. I would really love to know why you posted this here

Glenn Beck? Seriously?

[azurnoir]

9. where in your opinion should it be posted? Beck is appearing in Israel

if it had been say Baltimore or say Palm Springs you may have reason to question why it was posted here

10. Why would the Israelis welcome one of this country's most well-known antisemites?

Is this some kind of weird practical joke?

12. Why do you care about Glenn Beck?

Why does anyone?

[Ken Burch]

13. Because he played a major, ugly role in U.S. politics?

Why does it BOTHER you that I care?
