Comments on: Bold face http://samsonblinded.org/blog/bold-face.htm A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict Sat, 19 May 2012 18:30:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alain http://samsonblinded.org/blog/bold-face.htm/comment-page-1#comment-8748 Alain Thu, 22 Feb 2007 07:49:02 +0000 http://samsonblinded.org/blog/bold-face.htm#comment-8748 We should not overlook that the U.S. State Department (that few if any presidents or administrations seem capable of controlling) continues to be pro Arab and anti Israel/Jews. Add the recent win of the Left (Democrats), the cut-and-run crowd, who serve as "useful idiots" for the jihadists, I expect we shall soon see American withdrawal as well. The UK is even worse off with much of the last 2 or 3 generations ignorant of their own culture while despising it at the same time. On top of the large number of internal enemies, they have a very large number of Muslims. Personally I think the West created a situation of defeat from the start by refusing to identify the enemy due to political correctness perhaps. When authorities throughout the West continue to preach that Islam is a religion of peace and that only a small minority of them are jihadists, then you are doomed to fail. For me to be convinced of this large majority of moderate Muslims, I need to witness it through their behaviour. Where are the Muslim masses marching, demonstrating and denouncing Muslim terrorism? Where are they in showing support for the innocent civilian victims? Like someone else stated, if only 10 out of 100 Muslims actually carry out terrorist acts, while the other 90 do nothing to stop or prevent them, you cannot speak of moderates. Even in Israel it is no better allowing Arab MK's to get away with treason, or even allowing them to vote and hold office. The Israeli government continues in its state of denial that it is a war, and the West behaves in the same way.
