Is Bush an enemy of Israel?
With Friends like Bush, Israel doesn't need enemies. President Bush got down and dirty and insinuated that negotiating is tantamount to appeasement and hence Obama is naïve! Wow, look who is talking. Who is the appeaser here? It is Bush's condescending attitude that is the capstone of appeasement.
He goes into the Knesset and makes "appeasement statements" to please his gang of Neocons. I am sure not all the Knesset members applauded heartily as his policies have spelled disaster, but I am glad they gave the respect for our President that Mr. Bush did not deserve.
He and his ilk have duped the Americans, Israelis, and the Palestinians for nearly 60 years with that kind of rhetoric, and the propaganda machinery goes to work full time to make him look like a hero.
The Neocon gang talks peace, but doesn't mean it. Their plans have failed badly, and they still don't get it. They are no good for Israel, Palestine or America. Their actions and words are the root cause of terror and turmoil in the world. The more they talk about terrorizing the little nations, the more dangerous they make it for Israel. With Friends like Bush, Israel doesn’t need enemies.
I do hope the average Americans and Israelis remind these guys on Election Day that they are out of touch with the reality that they have brought nothing but misery. They are failures in international relations.
Why are they afraid to talk? Is it because talking would bring a solution, and bring an end to their eternal itch to be destructive? They still have time to negotiate for peace and become genuine peace makers. As Mother Teresa said once, “If you want to make peace, go talk to your enemies. You don't make peace with friends”.
