> The Truth Of British Premier’s "Urgent Diplomacy"

30 July 2006, 23:04

Your description of the awful wounds of the innocent young girl is terrible, tragic and horrifying to all civilized people everywhere - except, of course, to Nasrallah and Hezbollah, who practice the barbaric strategy of using civilians as human shields precisely so that they can be targeted by Israeli rockets. In fact, I will not be in the least surprised to discover that the building housing the innocent civilians in Qana turns out to have been a Hezbollah armory, and that the secondary explosion of Hezbollah munitions killed more people by leveling the building than a precision rocket attack by the Israelis.

But of course in today’s world, so-called liberal intellectuals can only lament the tragedies befalling innocent civilians in Muslim countries, and do not spare even one line of one paragraph for Israeli losses. I certainly didn’t read one line in your article lamenting the loss not only of innocent Israelis including Arab Israelis who are most assuredly not Zionists by any means, nor did I read one line lamenting the loss of life or permanent injury of innocent Jewish women in Seattle targeted by an angry Muslim shooter. Ever since the Danish cartoon incident and all the very publicly photographed protests and violence, the West has been saturated with the reality of what the Religion of Peace actually represents - total annihilation of Israel first, followed by total annihilation of Western Civilization.

I realize it’s been the policy of the British Foreign Office to sympathize with its former Muslim colonial states, but we in the United States of America are under no such historical constraints. It gives me great joy that liberal American Democrats have joined hands with conservative American Republicans to support Israel’s right to defend herself and to completely utterly condemn Hezbollah guerilla actions against Israel’s security and safety. It gives me great joy to watch Kofi Annan admitting that Hezbollah has behaved unacceptably, and that the rules of law governing situations in which rogue militias hiding behind civilian shields are engaged with legitimate state military organizations must be rewritten.

It gives me great joy to hear U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton describe Hezbollah tactics as an immoral disregard for human life and a barbaric practice of embedding themselves among civilians. Talk about speaking Truth to Power! Bolton’s statement is the truth of it, and all your bias toward Muslims as opposed to true concern for the lives of ALL persons affected by this conflict and the insanely fascistic religious agenda of fundamentalist Muslims just tells me what a real hypocrite and Islamist sympathiser you are. And because that is what you are, and because you cannot see for one moment the real threat to world peace instigated by fundamentalist Islamists who would just as soon remove your freedom to write your opinion, dress your wife, sister, mother or daughter in a veil and completely remove her autonomy and equality, and decapitate you if you are an Infidel as they would look at you, I cannot take a word you write seriously except for the first paragraph, describing the terrible losses of war when a human being, any human being, regardless of nationality, religion, race, gender, age or politics, is wounded or killed in the name of fanaticism, hatred and conquest.

Fanatical Islam is the real enemy here, as are those such as yourself who defend those who practice it by condemning those in the West who are trying desperately, if imperfectly, to battle it.
