Jew Gottfried:
Once again I feel impelled to respond to my critics, and particularly to those who criticize me as a “Zionist,” and as someone who worships at the altar of America the “superpower,” and endorses “unconstitutional wars,” being carried out against the will of the American people. If my respondent means by “Zionist” that I have kind feelings toward the Israelis and would not want to see their Arab neighbors destroy them, I shall have to plead guilty.

Dr. Gottfried:
Two facts stand in the way of your argument (trying to distance the Israelis from the “neocons") having any credibility:
1. The “Clean Break” and “Project for a new American Century” documents were prepared for Netnyahoo and the Israeli Govt. and were only put into the implementation phase after Israel’s govt blessed this approach to “greater Israel”
It follows that the war in Iraq and the planned war on Iran are to implement this Israeli agenda. The day to day “autonomy” of the neocons only proves they are all working for the pre-approved “strategic plan” as described in these 2 documents.
2. Never in History has a civilian population so eagerly participated in the ethnic cleansing and aparthied against the Palestinians as the Israeli public. Whether it is land grabbing or chopping down olive trees or stealing water and livestock or simply torturing the Palestinians, the Israeli public are its gory participants.
Even the german public could plead “ignorance” but the Universal conscript army of the Israelis proves that everyone is involved in the project to reduce another people to the status of imprisoned animals.
I wonder how come you never visit Gaza, can it be the same psychology that prevented Germany’s leaders from visiting the concentration camps, so the do not have to see what they are responsible for?
How come you never write about the injustices being perpetuated by 1 million neo Nazi Russian racialist against the jews, christians and the Palestinians? Enough Said!

The Israelis are now losing their
better educated and relatively mobile population,
which does not want to live any longer in an armed
camp with narrow borders.

Liberal democracy is nothing to crow about. It enthrones ignorance at the expense of intelligence. It holds public policy captive to crude media driven popularity contests. Why is democracy considered such a great system of government? Imagine the sort of chaos “democracy” would create if we ran the medical profession that way. Instead of licensing qualified professionals, we could elect physicians on the basis of their ability to raise large sums of money, look good on television, and flatter idiots by giving lip service to their favorite myths. Charlatans would quickly run wild again. People would lose their lives and money from malpractice. It is only the field of government where incomptence is not considered a disqualifier for higher office.

The West managed to get by just fine without democracy for a thousand years. What is the alternative to liberal democracy? To be perfectly honest with you, I really don’t care. Nothing could possibly be worse than the sick, degenerate, materialistic farce of a culture we have today which holds up 50 Cent and Britney Spears as role models. It doesn’t even have the will to reproduce itself! If that were not bad enough, these democratic politicians are literally giving our lands away to alien settlers.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I would rather have Communism or Zmirak’s theocracy than that. As for my own ideal, I think government should be run like any other profession, so my ideal is a sort of caste based technocracy. I would be for republicanism provided it doesn’t degenerate into democratic conditions. Is a military coup too much to hope for? Whatever it takes to haul these f****** politicians before a firing squad has my support. A boot stomping on Larry Kudlow’s face for a thousand years for a thosuand years sounds nice. What do you think?
