SMALL TOWN JEW HATRED

Some of Her Best Friends . . . (WSJ-BOTW)
Remember the Christian Peacemaker Teams, the outfit that had four of its members kidnapped in Iraq a while back? Today's Des Moines Register features an op-ed by one Pat Minor, a CPT member, in which she explains why she supports terrorism against Israel. But don't worry, some of her best friends are Jewish:

"What do you think about Hamas' victory?" I asked a co-worker, Sid Oxborough. He
shrugged. "Personally, I think it's great. But, it probably won't help their cause." . . .

While I abhor violence of any kind, it is hard to condemn a people who are resisting an oppression that has rendered them silent for more than 50 years. . . .

Sid, who considers himself a diaspora Jew, says, "Obviously, the Israelis are Jews, so they are my people. But, the Palestinians are oppressed, so they're my people more."

MEANWHILE, LARRY WEBSTER OF KENTUCKY'S LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER BELIEVES THAT, Israel deserves to be attacked with nuclear weapons.

Somebody named Elaine Shiber, the smartest person from Van Lear since Loretta Lynn, catalogued in a Herald-Leader commentary some of the terrorist acts committed as Zionists weary of genocide took up horrors on a lesser scale to have a place to alight.

It takes courage, as Shiber did, to inquire as to whether the outrage your enemy harbors is justified or not, and it takes courage to challenge the idea of Israel, with charges of anti-Semitism being the standard recompense for so doing.

But when you read what she reported and know that 40 times that much happened at the hands of Israel, you know why no Arab can have a nuclear weapon. They could be morally justified in using it.
