During my rainy and idiot soaked 2.5 hour commute into the District this morning.. I was listening to CSPAN and this Congressman was on there talking about how we SHOULD support the Isrealis because of the "fact" that it was it's the Jew's GOD GIVEN LAND... and that we should be basing our foreign policy of Biblical notions...
at this one caller called in and declared that Isreal was nothing but another colony.. similar to the Brits in NA... the French in Algeria... the Belgians in the Congo... ect.... which got me thinking...
Most of the residents of Israel are from HoloCAUST... from Europe...
I can totally see the bigwigs after WW2... "EUREKA! why don't we put all these Europeans that no one likes in the Middle East... be all nice to them all of a sudden.,.. support them... water them like a garden.. and let them grow into a mini OASIS of Western values in the midst of the savage lands... and them we will have a total foothold in the area not seen since the First Crusade!! BRILLIANT!"
I mean.. no one wanted them in Europe... so they go elsewhere and ***** the natives... Sound familer? Like all of the persecuted Puritans and Catholics and other religious outcasts... go to another place... set up shop.. and using their ties to the "old country", impose their will on the natives and take over.
So I guess my point is.... all of these other colonies were eventually destroyed or had integrated..... So it makes me kinda see why these anti-Zionists actually have hope that they will someday "wipe Israel of the map" or perhaps that it... come to a mutually benificial understanding...
and from the viewpoint of these anti-Zionists... that is what Israel is.. nothing but a colony of the West... and it hasn't even been around for as long as the other colonies elsewhere in the world..
Just a thought
