I am very pleased that there are MPs in the British Parliament that are prepared to fight for Israel. Particularly Douglas Carswell. That is gratifying. i began to think that all MPs on both sies of the House of Commons were at best cool towards Israel, and at worst downright hostile. It is good to knoe where some of them stand and that they are the few people in British politics who are listening to be bit of sense!

What never fails to amaze me is how, in countries like England, ‘experts’ like Avi Shlaim can get themselves into print AND into positions where they can disseminate their cock-eyed ideals into fresh minds that should be taught the FACTS and be allowed to make up their own minds as to what and who is right or wrong.
Far greater minds than his have, historically and legally, shown that the Palestinian ‘problem’ has been brought about mainly by lies and deceit on the part of British politicians, World/UN opinion, and the likes of Arafat, who ended up making a fortune on the backs of his followers who, had they agreed to it in the first place, would have had their own country years ago!!!!!!!

Avi Shlaim, confused and frustrated, spouts his great disapointment with the democratic state of Israel.
Why do lunatics get media exposure when they need medical attention?

Do we Jews believe that we and Israel are the only problem President Obama has? We are one part! Both countries are involved in voting and eachone has priorities.
I wish there were similar leaders in the 1930′s and the Holocaust could have been avoided. But Hitler thought he could get away with his plans, and for a while he did. But look all the damage he caused : 6 million Jews and 5 million non Jews, soldiers by the millions as well. Plus cities destroyed on both sides.
This time, despite the Iranian retoric, they know as the Soviets knew, that if one missile originates in Iran Israel will “reciprocate” instantly. The Israeli know where and how to hit and it would not be necessarily by plane. In fact, this is a replica of: M.A.D. of the 1970′s.
Being a Holocaust survivor I can look at the situation a bit more rationally.

Obama told Aipac that he’s got Israel’s back…for what purpose? to push around? to push forward and stay behind? to stab? or was it just a political correct way to say that he’s got Israel by the balls!

Israel must now realize that Obama wants to blame someone for starting hostilities. If he was successful in silencing AIPC concerns, Israel is now far less safe. The Nuclear timeline is the difference between safety or incineration for Israel. Obama is only concerned for Jewish votes.

I read that some commentators are concerned because The Palestinian issue has been currently put aside. In truth the Arabs can care less about Palestinians. I rarely read about the way Palestinians are being treated in Lebanon and other Arab countries. It’s about time those those who believe in the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians is destructive should realize that Iran and other Arab Nations do not care about the Palestinians at all . If Iran were to drop an Atomic bomb on Israel a multitude of Palestinians will die a horrible death. The Iranian attitude is who cares about the Palestinian population as long as the main goal is to kill Jews.
