Bill Moyers speaking from both ends of his mouth
Why is Abe Foxman complaining? Didn't the good old Bill Moyers deliver what Foxman desperately wanted to hear, such as:
1. All the more so because Hamas would like to see every Jew in Israel dead!
2. A radical streak of Islam now seeks to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth.
I have to agree with Alison Weir that the good Bill Moyers was forced to make an appearance on the Gaza Holocaust because:
“The most recent Israeli carnage has prompted him to finally speak out on something that he has joined the American media in hiding from Americans for many years.”
Here is the rest of his dribble!
Israel's decision to silence the rockets from Hamas terrorists by waging war on an entire population. Yes, every nation has the right to defend its people. Israel is no exception. All the more so because Hamas would like to see every Jew in Israel dead! But Brute force can turn self-defense into state terrorism. It is what the US did in Vietnam, with B-52's and again in Iraq with shock and awe by killing indiscriminately the elderly, kids, entire families, by destroying schools and hospitals, Israel did exactly what terrorists do and exactly what Hamas wanted. It is spill of blood that turns the wheel of retribution. Hardly had Israeli fire killed and injured scores at a UN school in Gaza than a senior Hamas leader went on television to announce [the Zionists have legitimized the killing of their children by killing our children. Already attacks on Jews in Europe are escalating. A burning car crashes into a synagogue in southern France, a fiery object is hurled throw a window in Sweden, and venomous "anti-Semitic" graffiti appears across the continent and arsonists strike in London. What we are seeing in Gaza is the latest battle in the oldest family quarrel on record. Open your bible. The sons of the patriotic Abraham become Arab and Jew. Go to the book of Dhronomy, when the ancient Israelites entered Canaan, their leaders urged violence against its inhabitants. The very Moses who had brought down the commandment 'thou shall not kill' now proclaimed you must destroy completely all the places where the nations have served their god, you must tear down their alters, smash their pillars, cut down their scared poles, set fire to the carved images of their gods and whip out their name from that place. So god soaked violence became genetically coded. A radical streak of Islam now seeks to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. Israel misses no opportunity to humiliate the Palestinians with checkpoints, concrete walls, routine insults, and the onslaught in Gaza. As if boasting of the might, Israel defense forces put up videos of the explosions on YouTube for the entire world to see. A Norwegian doctor there tells CBS 'it is like Dottie's inferno, they are bombing l.5 million people in a cage. America has officially chosen silence. We supply Israel with money, f16 and tacit signals. Our Christian right links arms with the religious extremists there who claim divine sanctions for Israel's occupation of the west bank. Our political elites show neither independence nor courage by challenging the consensus that Israel can do no wrong. Although one recent poll found democratic voters overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli offensive by a 24-point margin. Democratic party leaders in congress walk in lock step to the hardliners in Israel and the white house. Rarely does our mainstream media depart from the monotonous monologue of the party line. Many American Jews know as Aaron David miller writes in the current Newsweek that destruction in Gaza won't do much to address Israel's long-term needs. But a prominent reform rabbi of being morally deficient accuses those who raise questions. One Jewish American activist told me this week that never in 30 years has he seen such blind and binding conformity in his community. You never know, he said, that is the Gazans who are doing most of the suffering. We are in a terrible bind, Israel, the Palestinians, the United states each greases the cycle of violence, as one man's terrorism becomes another man's resistance to oppression. Is it possible to turn this mindless tragedy towards piece? For stators reach Aaron David Miller's article in the current Newsweek. Pay no attention to Washington pundits cheering the fighting in Gaza as they did the blood letting in Iraq. Killing is cheap. And war is a sport in a city where life and death become abrasions of policy. Here are the people who pay the price. He shows images of Palestinians and Jews. That is it for the Journal. I am Bill Moyers. We will be back next week.
