http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/tough-love-for-israel/ The latest contribution to the long list of opinion pieces (including editorials) in The New York Times advocating a tougher U.S. approach toward Israel comes from Roger Cohen, who argues in an Op-Ed column posted online Monday called “Try Tough Love, Hillary,” that the Obama administration should deliver some “tough love” to Israel by putting West Bank settlements, the division of Jerusalem and outreach to Syria on the agenda between Washington and Jerusalem. en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-12-02T;01:39:00-05:00 marcpaige@msn.com Thank you, thank you Roger Cohen. I love Israel and don’t want to see it disappear into a one-state solution. Even Olmert came to understand that Israel CANNOT remain Jewish and a democracy unless it returns close to the 67’ borders, and allows East Jerusalem to be the capital of the Palestinian state. To the folks demeaning Cohen who claim to love Israel, I say educate yourself on the realities of demography, geography, and democracy. Thank you, thank you Roger Cohen.

I know that some day there will be peace but it will take divine intervention.  Until then the only choice is to fight the bully, terrorist oppresors.  That goes right to the heart of the matter.  In the end its a spiritual matter.  In then end, the only peace I can have today is in my heart.

When are these nuts, led by, going to pick up a history book to see what appeasement has to offer? Why does the JTA even bother with these Jewish anti-Semites? Perhaps Cohen and Olmert can move in together in the same house in Ramallah where they will be with their Arab brothers who just love them.
