This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
Guardian calls Israel "an arrogant nation", and also gives op-ed to Foreign Office grandee who complained about Jews on the Iraq inquiry - 'Charles de Gaulle once famously referred to the Jews as an "arrogant and domineering people". The Guardian newspaper in its editorial today refers to Israel as "an arrogant nation that has overreached itself". Not the government of Israel -- castigated by the Guardian for using British passports in a "Mossad murder squad" in Dubai, as well as over the spat with Washington -- but the nation of Israel itself. I suppose they would argue that that there is still enough daylight, however thin a sliver of it, between de Gaulle's open disdain for Jews and their equally open disdain for the Jewish state...'
Britain is an Islamic nation. And a nation of cowards.
Yet they continue to speak as if they still had significance or that their words had relevance.
The "uk" is devolving into a third world middle east islamic republic.
Show compassion for the VICTIMS of the Pan Am 103 bombing,

*shrug* We've been called worse by more important powers than you, Britain. God Himself calls us "a stiff-necked people" -- and we quote Him on that ourselves.
Many, many world powers have predicted our imminent demise; we're still here, most of them are not. In the meantime, it is certainly not up to Britain to lecture Israel on the subject of arrogance, nor of overreach. Britain set the gold standard for both subjects when she was running the place, 1917 - 1948.
Put simply: I cannot think of anything negative to say about Israel that could not be said, at least as emphatically, about Britain. 'Nuff said.
