Why The West Is Missing The Point

This is a very interesting article, thank you for posting it Jon.
I wait with amusement to how the "Jewish" Chronicle bloggers will pull it to pieces.

jon, phyllis chesler is wrong … except for iran (and possibly syria), the islamic states' support for the palestinians is minimal …

Indeed, many Europeans continue Hitler’s war against the Jews by supporting fifty seven Islamic apartheid nation states against the single Jewish democratic state.

the arab league itself has abandoned the palestinian "right of return" since at least 2002, and stands ready to recognise israel as a demographically jewish state (albeit only within the pre-1967 borders, so far) … see http://www.jordanembassyus.org/arab_initiative.htm …

… the Arab world commits itself to an AGREED solution to the refugee problem, thus addressing Israel’s concern that the demographic character of the Jewish state not be threatened.

of course, the united nations is very anti-israel in its human-rights resolutions, but that's mostly to deflect attention away from the major abusers of human rights, rather than to support the palestinians)

and phyllis chesler's conclusion is bizarre, having no connection with the rest of her article …

Otherwise, we will all be bombed back into the Arabian 7th century, the women who survive will wear burqas, we will all be ruled by theocratic barbarians.
More than the lights will go out, and not just over Europe; this time, the lights will dim over the entire world.

which orifice did that suddenly come from??
