According to some posters on the forum, America's history of overseas intervention is blameless, flawless; not subject to question.
If American intervention overseas is always good, then Kahanists must praise the U.S. for demanding Israel's suicide, must praise the U.S. for refusing to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capitol, must praise Bush & Condi for arming & financing the PLO/Hamas, must praise Condi for demanding Israel retreat from Hezbollah in Lebanon; allowing Hezbollah to continue to rearm and continue holding Israeli hostages, etc...
America has just tripled the size of Saudi Arabia's high-tech airforce & other weaponry, to the detriment of Israeli defense capabilities.
I could list numerous other American interventions in the affairs of Israel, but will stop here for considerations of the forum.
It is possible that youth, along with inattention to history, have combined; convincing some posters on our forum that "history began last week".
It is also possible that a Washington "insider", viewing first hand the workings of AIPAC, Wolfowitz, Perle, and the representatives of the despised Olmert Government, may perceive the Israelis and their associates in Washington as irrational, untrustworthy; a subversive influence on American policy.
Indeed, Rabbi Kahane castigated the ruling Leftists in Israel unmercifully; accurately foretelling the eventual fallout with the U.S. that Israel would experience if it pursued the so-called "Peace Process" (it being one more American overseas interventionist scheme) and if Israel relied solely on America for its protection and sovereignty.
So...I am asking all to now express their views regarding American interventionism overseas.
Unless you can discuss our own current events, using history and its lessons as a basis for argument, then you are merely employing "jingoism" and "sloganeering"; in effect "shouting down those who disagree with you".
And, lest we forget, "shouting down and demonizing those who disagree with you" is the tactic used by the Labor/Likud/Kadima and almost all American Jewish organizations, to destroy Rabbi Meir Kahane and Chaim Ben Pesach...the tactic used by those who fear the truth.
