Ralph Nader

An article from the Washington Post:

"The days when the chief Israeli puppeteer comes to the United States and meets with the puppet in the White House and then proceeds to Capitol Hill, where he meets with hundreds of other puppets, should be replaced."

"Bush also repeated the catch-phrase . . . 'committed to the security of Israel as a Jewish state,' which is repeated almost word-for-word again and again by Israel's sycophants and Capitol Hill puppets."

Which of the above quotations is lifted from the Web site of the white supremacist National Alliance and which was uttered this summer by independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader? It's a tough one. After all, both play on the age-old anti-Semitic stereotype of powerful Jews dominating politics and manipulating hapless non-Jewish puppets for their own ends.

I went to Nader's site to read his pathetic response and found this drivel:

Perhaps The Post could point to the US government's failure to oppose human rights violations of Palestinians, Israel's demolitions of thousands of homes of innocent Palestinians, Israel's repeated violation of UN resolutions, the deaths of innocent Palestinian civilians, assassinations of Palestinians, or the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory. Perhaps The Post could explain why a tiny country the size of New Jersey gets more foreign aid than the continent of Africa with its poverty, starvation, disease, and military conflict? Not just more?ten times more!

Nader will not back down on this issue. Visit our web site to see the discussion he is in with the Anti-Defamation League on this issue as well. Nader realizes he will take criticism for standing up to the extreme pro-Israel lobby but he sees it as critical to world peace, justice and human rights ? as well as critical to the people of Israel and Palestine. Indeed, if he is successful in making the special relationship" we have had with Israel for fifty years an issue ? a special relationship that has failed to result in a secure Israel, or peace in the Middle East ? doing so will make running for president (and all the hardship that has entailed) worth it.

Why foreign aid to our ally, democratic Israel? Where to begin?. Easy for you not to mention that with a land area 649 times bigger, a population 49 times bigger and despite the fact that many Arab countries have world's richest oil resources, most Arab countries do little to combat poverty, starvation, and disease in Africa. What islamofascist Arabs are good for is ethnic cleansing, Ralphie boy. Why don't you focus on Darfour? You must have missed Witnessing Genocide In Sudan.

It's all about the Palestinians isn't it Ralphie boy? Easy for you not to mention Palestinian homicide bombings killing innocent Israeli civilians, many of them children. Easy for you not to mention Qassam rockets killing toddlers, you self-righteous bastard.
