St Ronnie was not the sharpest stick in the pile when elected!
|
Funny, I was a Liberal during the Reagan years, and used to think the exact
same thing. Now on the other side I see how that that characterization was
Liberal spin, just as Liberals assertion of Bush being a “moron”. It is
partisan hacktalk.
|
Actions speak louder than words: Bush is no intellectual.

It also has a couple of other good quotes.

He forgot to mention was that Gaza, with
its 1.3 million inhabitants, is only about 1% of historic Palestine.
|
What the heck is “historic Palestine”?
|
Do you reject the Balfour declaration which sought the “establishment in
Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”?
|
No.
|
OK. So Palestine did exist then?
| |
Did you mean “Palestinian people”?
|
Why should I?

This leads me to think about some
disturbing ideas I have heard lately about Israel and the Palestinians,
|
I’ve heard disturbing ideas from both both sides of this argument...
| |
and
I’m wondering how ubiquitious they are among the Left, so let me ask you
Scott: yes or no-- do you actually recognize the legitimacy of the State of
Israel to exist?
|
Yes; I have said so many times. I also recognise its right to
self-defence.
|
Okay. Good; I thought so, but had to recheck, because there is a lot of
thinking out there (in the American Left anyway) that actually denies these
rights for the State of Israel!
| |
Do you recognise the West Bank as land which does not belong to Israel
under international law?
|
Of course, except for some sticky issues WRT Jerusalem.
|
Why? The status of Jerusalem under international law is clear.
