Of course, your entire post has no substance to it. How has Israel benefited other than a possible incidental increase in action along the "road map?" Other than generalized hatred, your post says nothing. There are actually many Jews serving in Iraq. I know a couple in the reserves. You really are blinded by hatred. Whether a US soldier is Jewish or Catholic or Protestant should be irrelevant to discussion. So do you think we should give Saddam back the throne? Give him back his palaces? Give him back his implements of torture? You bigots surely know how to bash but never have any suggestions for what you would do about the "problem."

Jewish leaders redefine anti-Zionism as antisemitism [This official redefinition of terms creates the Zionist "opportunity" to unify international Jewry against the rest of the world:] Anti-Semitism is our problem, By Natan Sharansky, Haaretz (Israel), August 11, 2003 "Last week a unique and unusual conference took place in Jerusalem. Representatives of Jewish organizations from all over the world joined Israeli officials and academics to formulate a joint strategy for a war on anti-Semitism. No more local reaction to one incident or another, but an attempt at universal Jewish cooperation. The participants in the conference agreed on two basic assumptions. First, that we are facing a wave of anti-Semitism the like of which we have not known since World War II, both in scope and force. Second, that, like a malignant disease, today's anti-Semitism has developed a new mutation and is not limited to acts of violence against Jews, carrying swastikas and burning synagogues. The new anti-Semitism appears in the guise of "political criticism of Israel," consisting of a discriminating approach and double standards toward the state of the Jews, while questioning its right to exist. The doubt which traditional anti-Semitism cast on the right of the Jewish individual to exist as an equal in general society, turned, in the new anti-Semitism, into a dispute of the right of the Jewish nation to exist on its land as any other nation. Another feeling shared by the delegates in the conference is that the new trend caught us, both in Israel and in the Diaspora, unprepared. It took us a long time to understand that we are facing a new incarnation of anti-Semitism and to respond accordingly. Thus, for example, we did not prepare for the Durban Conference that turned into an anti-Semitic carnival; we didn't fight hard enough against the UN resolutions against Israel, which are becoming more hypocritical and radical and we failed to warn of the anti-Semitic cries and measures accompanying the protest against the war in Iraq. How did we fall asleep on our guard? How is it possible that despite the great efforts invested by organizations monitoring anti-Semitism, almost two years went by until the Jewish world understood that anti-Zionism can no longer be separated from anti-Semitism and that both constitute an existential danger to the Jewish people? ... There are different issues on our respective agendas, internal processes have polarized our positions and sharpened our differences, tensions have sprung up and the alienation between us increased. In a somewhat absurd fashion, the war on anti-Semitism gives us a new opportunity to mend the rift. Our joint destiny is sometimes a heavy burden, but it also gives a lot of strength. Our power is in our unity, in mutual responsibility and in partnership. If we succeed in overcoming the alienation, if we manage to bring together the torn shreds of the Jewish nation and make them feel that we are brethren again - then we have a chance. We cannot miss this opportunity."

BEN-GURION'S SCANDALS, by Naeim Giladi, Booksurge Description: States Iraqi-born Jewish journalist, Naeim Giladi: “I write this book to tell the American people, and especially the American Jews, that Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate willingly to Israel; that, to force them to leave, Jews killed Jews; and that, to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors. I write about what the first prime minister of Israel called ‘cruel Zionism.’ I write about it because I was a part of it.” Giladi delivers the painful truth about the Zionist rape of Palestine and deliberate planting of anti-Semitism in Iraqi Jewish communities during David Ben-Gurion’s political career in order to persuade the Iraqi Jews to immigrate to Israel. The goal of the Zionists was to import raw Jewish labor from the Middle East to plow and plant the newly-vacated lands. Also, the military ranks had to be filled with conscripts to defend the stolen lands." booksurge.com
