I had some misgivings about Herman from Day One – nothing serious. Just a bad feeling. Or, maybe I knew so little that it was a feeling of nothing, and that was bad.

I just didn’t know anything about his character. Was he a good person?

And yes, if America is going to be the ally that Israel needs, it takes a good person in the White House – someone with integrity, honesty and good morals. You need someone in the White House who can tell their Secretary of State to go get stuffed when he wants to renege on agreements to supply Israel in time of war.

With the coming home of Gilad, a chapter closes, and a terrible wound to the national psyche gets to start healing. Of course, it came at the cost of over a thousand terrorists unleashed on a vulnerable Palestinian society susceptible to the call to Jihad.

And, after much reflection and soul-searching, I can honestly say that I’m glad.

Really.

Yes, the cold-hearted armchair general in me regrets the release of so many talented terrorists and the operational stress that this will impose on the overworked Israeli security services. It is even true that MORE civilians are bound to lose their lives in terrorist attacks perpetrated by these evil miscreants. It will cost more in money, manpower and weapons systems. This trade is going to hurt, a lot.

Arabs and their sympathizers are applying a full-court press on Israel in a coordinated attempt to force Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria and hand Jerusalem over to the Palestinians.

Of course, the Palestinians haven’t said much about what they plan to do if they succeed in forcing Israel to withdraw from Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. In Nazi Germany, they called it Judenrein. Today, they would call it, No Jews Allowed. Here’s a quote from IsraelToday:

The Palestinine Liberation Organization (PLO) ambassador to the US, Maen Areikat, told reporters in Washington on Tuesday that the Palestinian state his regime is trying to gain recognition for at the UN next week should be free of Jews.

I’ve just been through yet another war of words over Israel, and I’m sitting here in something like shock at the insanity of it all. You would think, after all these years, that I would be used to this.

But I’m not, and I don’t ever want to be a person who accepts insanity as a natural part of things. The insanity that I’m referring to is the denial of Israel’s right to exist.

I’ve had this article sitting around for a while, just waiting to be commented on. Why I have waited until now to talk about it, I don’t know.

It certainly got my blood boiling, reading this for a second and third time. The fact that there are people calling themselves Christian and comparing Lucifer to the Jewish people:

…Israelis, like Lucifer, were God’s chosen but were cast out for their rebellious and evil ways, and now deserve to be obliterated from the so-called “Holy Land,”…

WHAT!?

Catholics and Protestants dare to compare the Jewish people with Lucifer?
