Every once in awhile you read an editorial piece that sounds like someone screwed up and accidentally published a MEMRI translation of some Hamas nut-ball's screed in a mainstream American newspaper. In the Rocky Mountain News: Israel at 60: The cost of U.S. support. So full of bile and ranting there's little point to a complete fisking. Here's a taste:
...Support for Israel is garnered under false pretenses and enforced through coercive tactics. Americans should consider the effect of these strong-arm tactics on our public life.
A small but powerful lobby has had an inordinate influence on the executive and legislative branches of the government, on the media, and on our public culture...
The Lobby is killing America says the immigrant from a poisonous Middle East, Ida Audeh. I'd say the country was doing pretty well under the command of der Juden before Ms. Audeh chose to come here.
The sub-head of the piece: "This Web only Speakout has not been edited." I'd say. The author's credential: "Ida Audeh is a Palestinian who grew up in the West Bank and now works as an editor in Boulder." So this person is someone who decides what gets printed...here? In America? Immigration reform, please.
