The results of the aptly-named “Commander-in-Chief” debate broadcast on CBS did not revolutionize the race. Mitt Romney is still in the strongest position of any of the candidates. A good sense of humor can’t revive Rick Perry’s hopes and strong performances from Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann won’t get them into contention. But it did illustrate that Herman Cain’s weaknesses can’t be disguised forever by his unflappable temperament.

The One-State solution, promoted by academics, is a non-starter because it would eliminate the Jewish homeland. However, the current pressures on Israel are equally dangerous. In effect, the world is demanding that Israel, the size of New Jersey, shrink further by accepting a Three-State solution: a PA state on the West Bank and a Hamas terrorist state controlling 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. All this, as Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, stockpiles 50,000 rockets, threatening northern and central Israel’s main population centers. In 2010, most Middle East experts believe that the only hope for enduring peace is two states with defined final borders. But too many diplomats, pundits, academics and church leaders ignore the fact that current polls show that while most Israelis favor a Two-State solution, most Palestinians continue to oppose it. http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/pp.asp?c=lsKWLbPJLnF&b=5958687 LIE #10

]]> Comment on Reepalu’s rabid anti-Semitic utterances are scandalous. by Bob J. http://www.thelocal.se/blogs/corneliushamelberg/2011/03/18/reepalus-rabid-anti-semitic-utterances-are-scandalous/comment-page-1/#comment-840 Bob J. Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:45:13 +0000 http://www.thelocal.se/blogs/corneliushamelberg/?p=3146#comment-840 Absurd. What you call "anti-Semetic" are the political leanings of most of my Israeli friends who are sick of Netanyahu's fascistic "government" -- a ruling cabal installed by the most reactionary elements of Israeli society. I say this as a Jew who has always admired Israel, but who rationally can discriminate between the people and society and the politicians who can either elevate or debase the social discourse and indeed the nation's history. Your screaming epithets at Mayor Reepalu because he exercises that essential discrimination does nothing for your cause, nor for the well being of Israelis or Jews at large. The alarmist establishment that ultimately is part of the right-wing political machine in Israel and elsewhere is the real minority among Jews. Rather than secure a lasting peace it exploits current tensions. You're a pawn. Absurd.

” How to start a war “:

“Said Zwingli to Muntzer
‘I’ll have to be blunt, sir.
I don’t like your version
of Total Immersion
And since God’s on my side.
You’d better swing ovah
To me and Jehovah’

Cried Muntzer, ‘Its schism
Is infant Baptism!
Since I’ve had a sign, sir
That God’s will is mine, sir,
Let all men agree
With Jehovah and me,
Or go to Hell, singly,’
Said Muntzer to Zwingli,

As each drew his sword
On the side of the Lord.”
