More American Hypocrisy

People's beliefs in the amusing notions that the US wouldn’t stand by and watch Israel go down in flames and that Fatah is a force of moderates/peace partners are for me reminiscent of hamsters running a wheel, no matter how fast those beliefs get them no where they keep going and going and going...

Fairly decent article that touches on both issues and upon Hamas' use of American weapons seized in the takeover: 

Will the State Department Side with American Terror Victims or Yasser Arafat?
As Abbas brags about Fatah’s terror legacy, we wait and watch.

By Andrew C. McCarthy

After nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in the atrocities of September 11, 2001, President Bush boldly announced that the United States would not distinguish between terror networks and the regimes that support them. They would all be regarded as hostile and dealt with accordingly.

What a sad commentary it is that, less than seven years later, we are left to wonder whether our State Department will stand with the American victims of terror or join forces with the other side: a regime with a long, remorseless record of practicing terrorism, preaching terrorism, and murdering Americans.

Tweeting it Frank-like

A Frank Disaffirmation:

To quote the great Wikipedia:

The most important thing about the malcontent, is that he is malcontent—unhappy, unsettled, displeased with the world as he sees it—not at ease with the world of the play in which he finds himself, eager to change it somehow, or to dispute with it. He is an objective or quasi-objective voice that comments on the concerns of the play and comments as though he is somehow above or beyond them.

I have spent nearly a decade in Israel and I'm mad as hell.  

As a nation we are besieged by enemies both foreign and domestic. We are inundated with elitist agendas, oligarchs and religious obscurantists--all standing in the way of our country's progress.

This blog is my place to vent on these issues, and it evolves as I do. I post many things here. A lot of it is crude. Some of it I believe, and some I do not.  Some of it is serious, some of it is not. All of it is Frank. 

Like so many of us I view my people with a combination of wonder and pity, and this notion lies at the heart of all my content.  

Finally, regardless of what you read please don't confuse my point of view with cynicism. The real cynics are the ones who tell you everything is going to be all right. I'm not so sure, and in a way that is very freeing. 

Enjoy the Frankness!
