ultra-right Israeli blog received Best Blog award

Post by OSfllwrb »

Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective in the Middle East Conflict also scored high in all categories it was nominated. Google earlier banned advertising of that blog for unacceptable content.

Samson Blinded's author advocates religious state of Judea at the border with Israel and expulsion of Arabs. Obadiah Shoher denies democracy dominated by liberals and Muslims and calls Israelis to oppose police efforts at removing the settlements. His other point is dismanlting economically unbearable Israeli army and relying on nuclear weapons. However, he decried Lebanese and Iraq invasions.

Public opinion seems to strongly shift the the right in Middle East issues. Any thoughts on that?

Wow those are very extreme positions. As far as expulsion… What do you do about temple mount? This is an extremely important Muslim site. The Muslims are not going to give this site up, they will fight long and hard for it.

As far as dismantling the Israeli Army ???! Ahhhhh No ! That would just start a foot race to see which faction could express dominion over Israel that fastest: the Egyptians from the south, Syrians from the east, Hezbollah from the west; or the Palestinians from within.

As far as retaining settlements, I think part of the difficultly with most of the settlements is their patchwork nature. This creates indefensible borders. By abandoning some, and hardening the borders of others, Israel is creating their own defacto national boundaries. This is the best thing IMO since the Muslims are divided and do not honor their commitments.
Keep your sharpened steel sword, this wooden one will be all I need!

M.A.D. doesn't make quite as much sense when you're the only one with nukes and the enemy is only 20km away... seems a bit more masochistic.

Why isn't this in Deep Thoughts?

Probably because it's some nut job spamming boards to get his rhetoric out.
