Crimson > Jewish Democrats say that they were pushing for a later release date --- Democrats involved in efforts to boost Jewish support were quick to criticize Carter’s views. How embarrassing for them that a former Democratic president should write such an anti-Zionist book. He will have to be smeared ASAP and the party distanced from him.

Norman Finkelstein opines that the state of Israel is two wars away from complete destruction. normanfinkelstein.com >>Do you believe the world is really facing a threat from radical Islamists? The issue is not whether the world is facing threats of radical Islamists. You have radical militias in the United States. The question is, how big is the threat? And how significant is it? And, most importantly, how do you diminish it? And all the policies which have been implemented to date plainly do not have it as their main goal to diminish the threat. It's only exacerbating the threat. The same thing with Israel. Israel, in my opinion, is only two wars away from complete destruction. This war, the red line was Haifa. It's clear that, in the next war, Tel Aviv will be targeted and then, the war after that, it will be destroyed. But who's causing it? Who's creating it? Let's be honest about that. Why are most of the western world's conflicts and disputes with Islamic nations? I don't think it has anything to do with Islam. They could be Buddhists. It's oil. They don't care that they're Islamic. They don't care about religion. Once the oil's been depleted, then they will go to central Africa. They will let everybody starve, steal whatever minerals and wealth they have, and just let them die. They don't care about democracy anymore. All they're interested in is democratizing the oil, until they get their fair share of it, or, in their minds, their fair share of it.<<
