Foolish Bargains

By John Dodd on 9.10.10 @ 6:07AM

Once again, stacking the deck against Israel.

How many times have we heard the old warning that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it? Surely it has been repeated enough times that all but the dullest of listeners have heard the warning.

Why, then, are we once again in the midst of a negotiation that is predicated on the foolish idea that a genuine peace can be forged between freedom and tyranny?

Once again our government is attempting to broker agreements between the free and democratic people of the nation of Israel and an array of representatives of the governments and militant entities that make no secret of the fact that their highest goal is to eliminate all traces of Israel's existence.

For as long as most of us can remember, various U.S. administrations have strong armed Israel to the table with the people who hate them, and followed these meetings with an agreement as ephemeral as the smiles on the official photographs memorializing each gathering. Instead of accepting the fact that no agreement can stand when only one side is really interested in its success, we are determined to repeat the same failed process again and again.

Senator Jesse Helms made this point in an article published in Policy Review in the winter of 1986. He said, "the rule seems to be: when in doubt, negotiate. Therefore negotiations are urged without regard to the history of negotiations. This history is not reassuring. Unless one side of a negotiation has been utterly defeated, negotiations typically are dangerously destabilizing.… Even the best that Camp David could bring about was a stalemate, rather than a peace." Furthermore, he stated that this pressure on Israel to negotiate comes from "professional negotiators in the State Department who feel at loose ends if they do not have a negotiation or two in full swing. Sometimes, like gamblers, they seem more interested in the excitement of the action than in the outcome."

As we know all too well, even the Camp David stalemate could not hold, but we are once again being assured that things will be different -- this time.

This stubbornness would be funny, if it wasn't deadly. With every concession we force on the one government in the Middle East that is unequivocally our ally, the greater the danger in that region. Compare the situation today with the status of the region before the famous Camp David Accords were signed in 1979. Look at the multi-billion dollar price tag to our nation in promised payments to parties on all sides. Imagine how much more we will spend with no reasonable expectation of a satisfactory return on our investment.

We are pressing our ally to make agreements that imperil the long-term existence of their nation, and the very lives of their citizens. We are asking the one nation where democracy thrives to bow to the demands of those who have no respect for freedom. We are stacking the deck against Israel by asking it to yet again make unfair concessions to obtain yet another unfair agreement.

Even worse, we are demonstrating a shocking lack of commitment to our pledges of solidarity with Israel. By our actions and attitude we are alerting all the rest of our allies, including those who yearn for freedom while living under the rule of tyrants, to beware of the fragility of our promises to them.

America, our America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, is at the point of surrendering our character to the seeming comfort of concession.

After we have served up Israel to her sworn enemies what will we cede next? Will it be the hope for democracy in Cuba? The right of the Taiwanese to live in freedom? Our sovereign right to command our own armed forces?

If we are willing to walk away from our covenant with Israel, what will become of us?

What will become of us you ask. I would rather ask the question "what has become of the so-called leaders, not us as in "We the People" No doubt when one party of any negotiations are hell bend upon the destruction of the other nothing is going to be accomplished but war. As we have seen the so-called leadership through the years, here in the US and abroad, are more concerned about their legacy than they are about the truth and agreements being honored.
If you prefer to deal with the devil and respond to his measures, you lose right then and there. As the Christian understanding will have it, there will be no peace between these acient feudalist. All the way back to the beginning of time they have fought each other in their quest to out smart and get the upper edge and have never lived in peace. It does not matter how much the so-called leaders preen and prissy about with their holier than thou art mighty mouths, their actions are clearly a present danger to all of humanity. I am also a firm believer the next time these islamofascist take to warring with the Israeli's, the Israeli government might just as well as nuke them back to hell where they crawled out of, then we will have peace in our time. Anythink less is of no concern to this devil dog. Rules of men indeed.

Alan Brooks| 9.11.10 @ 8:37PM

"Peace" treaties in this case are devices to buy time until weapons can be stockpiled, and then a new round of war, followed by more maneuvering, another treaty,

then another war.

Ken (Old Texican)| 9.10.10 @ 8:24AM

Mr. Dodd,
You nailed it with this simple question!!!

""Why, then, are we once again in the midst of a negotiation that is predicated on the foolish idea that a genuine peace can be forged between freedom and tyranny?""

Marine,
Please see my post on the Church thread. Well spoken, Sir.

Louis Jenkins| 9.10.10 @ 9:05AM

Certainly liked the Jesse Helms quotes. But that's negotiaters. Let's bring them back to the table, get a few more concessions out of the Israelis, and maybe they'll be satisfied. Then the barbarians start all over with terrorists attacks and blame Israel, then back to the negotiation table. Negotiators- get rid of them. The Kafirs only understand one thing, winning.

KyMouse| 9.10.10 @ 10:09AM

The late Jewish evangelist Zola Levitt, of Zola Levitt Ministries (www.levitt.com), used to say, "There are three reasons why there won't be peace: The Arabs don't want peace, the Arabs don't want peace, and the Arabs don't want peace."

ShortNSweet| 9.10.10 @ 10:35AM

"With every concession we force on the one government in the Middle East that is unequivocally our ally, the greater the danger in that region."

This should be printed in bold print on every magazine, and newspaper across this country! This is the most profound argument I've heard concerning the situation in Israel, and her neighbors - Besides on the ONE TRUE agrument that is written in Genesis, where God gave this land to Abraham and his descendants!

Thanks Mr. Dodd!

JimH| 9.10.10 @ 11:25AM

From the point of view of national interest, why is this our problem? We should stop pouring the billions in aid we send to Israel, Egypt and others in the middle east each year and mind our own business. Maintaining the status quo is in the interest of too many of the parties involved. Without the subsidy I think some sort of agreement would more likely come about.

Herb Tarlek| 9.10.10 @ 11:50AM

We have to support Israel or else Jesus won't come back. It's in the Bible.

KyMouse| 9.10.10 @ 12:57PM

What Bible verses support that belief, Mr. Tarlek? Can human beings stop God from doing anything, or force Him to do anything?

That's a new concept to me. It reminds me of the (Muslim) Emperor Suleiman, who bricked up Jerusalem's Golden Gate in order to keep the Messiah from entering through it. After Suleiman, Muslims built a cemetery in front of the gate, believing that the Messiah will not pass through a place made unclean by the dead.

News flash: Jesus (God) goes where He wants to, and when He wants to. Bricks and tombstones can't keep Him out. God's plans for Israel -- and all of humanity -- will be fulfilled whether we pitch in or not.

"I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it...I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory." -- Isaiah 46: 11,13

Herb Tarlek| 9.10.10 @ 2:20PM

If it doesn't matter to God & Jesus I don't know why we're supporting Israel all the time. I think it matters but if it doesn't it's probably none of our business what goes on over there.

Tom| 9.10.10 @ 12:19PM

Jim,
What sort of agreement do you think would be forged? And why? Your point on whether aid to Israel is in our national interest is certainly arguable but why would weakening Israel lead to the Palestinians wanting peace with a Jewish state?

Ken (Old Texican)| 9.10.10 @ 12:43PM

Am-Spec,

Thank you for letting stupids like Jim spout off their ignorance here.
It gives all of us adults a chuckle, and at the same time reminds us of the battle that must be won.

JimH| 9.10.10 @ 1:44PM

Sorry, in reading your reply I must have missed any factual point you may have made. Since you care so deeply, please feel free to enlist in the IDF, I assume that is the side you support. But please leave out the rest of the American taxpayers.

Tom| 9.10.10 @ 1:56PM

Reading back through your original post I missed any factual point you may have made. It was opinion devoid of any supportive evidence.

JimH| 9.10.10 @ 2:10PM

The first part of my original post was a question so far replied to by one by one person. I disagree with the answer. But I do respect an honest reply. The billions in foreign aid to Israel and Egypt is not an opinion. It is fact. Most of it I think stems from the Camp David Accords.

Tom| 9.10.10 @ 2:58PM

If your sole point is we spend billions in aid you win. However, I asked you a valid question considering your statement: why would weakening Israel lead to the Palestinians wanting peace with a Jewish state?

You conflate removing aid - which you claim does not further American national interest - with an increased likelihood of a Middle East peace agreement but present no real argument or evidence why this would be so. If you have any evidence that removing aid to Israel and Egypt would hasten an accord please supply it.

RCV| 9.10.10 @ 7:58PM

A pleasure to be in agreement once again, Ken. Where's that book I'm waiting for?

Ken (Old Texican)| 9.11.10 @ 11:41AM

RCV
To answer your question, I am working very hard on it.
...An amazing thing happened on the way through the plot. My characters discovered some things that I had never thought of or considered before.
OH MY!
anyhow...to keep you riveted until the book comes out. Buy and read "The Last Centurion" by John Ringo.
I in fact reference it in my own book. The Last Centurion
is written in a "blog" format. Fascinating.

RCV| 9.12.10 @ 3:36PM

Just ordered it - I'll let you know what I think after I've read it. Be well.

Fredrick Ward| 9.10.10 @ 6:41PM

Don't worry, JimH. There will come a day that no one will support Israel. She will be on her own soon enough. However, that will not spell victory for anyone on the other side.

RCV| 9.10.10 @ 1:25PM

Mr. Dodd fails to see the positive aspects of the renewed peace talks in the context of Middle East dynamics. Consider the important developments Yesterday. The Iranian leader Khamenei criticized the Palestinian leadership for engaging in talks with Israel, accusing them of "betrayal." In response, Abbas lashed out at Iran, reminding them that he was elected by the Palestinians, while the leadership in Iran suppresses its people and retained power only by stealing the elections. Egypt recalled its ambassador from Tehran in response to the criticism. Both the Egyptians and Palestinians then phoned the Israelis to wish them a happy Rosh Hashanah.

Netanyahu has his eye on the right ball here. The major threat in the Middle East is Iran. The peace talks Obama has convened are important in reminding the Sunni Arab states of the continuing real threat the Shia pose to the region.

The One We've Been Waiting For| 9.10.10 @ 3:19PM

We're making shrimp, RCV. Boy are we making progress in these talks. If hymietown (Jesse Jackson could always coin a phrase) would get behind this we could sell out Israel all together. That would really cause a lot of the trouble between the Sunni and the Iranians, well after they finished celebrating. I thought it was key when the Palestinians said they will not recognize a Jewish state. Now is the right time to move and force Israel to give up something to show that they are weak. Weakness is the only thing respected in the Muslim world. Minister Farrakhan once told me that. We're introducing a comprehensive immigration bill in the first year baby.

RCV| 9.10.10 @ 7:57PM

The shrimp thing wasn't all that funny to start with, and now it's just annoying to all those good TAS readers. Get a life.

The One We've Been Waiting For| 9.10.10 @ 9:00PM

We're buying shrimp, RCV. The Gallup poll showed that most Americans thought I was annoying long before I started using the clever expression, "we're buying shrimp" to tell people to shove it. I am sorry that lackeys like yourself have taken so long to figure it out. Lets face it, you are a below average kind of guy. Even worse than me. It is hard to believe but a troll just told me to get a life. Wow. Try to give them a minimum wage job and they bite the hand that feeds them. Woof,Woof.

Tim*| 9.10.10 @ 9:10PM

The shrimp RCV wasn't all that funny to start with, and now He's just annoying to all those good TAS readers. Get a therapist.

The One We've Been Waiting For| 9.10.10 @ 11:12PM

We're buying shrimp, Tim*. No offense. Thanks for the advice. I have been seeing a therapist for quite some time. I am surrounded by crazy people. Did you ever see that movie, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers? If you fall asleep you wake up like RCV, a mindless zombie who spouts variations of the same ten talking points. Thanks for the concern. I promise to negotiate health care reform in public sessions televised on C-SPAN baby.

Quartermaster| 9.10.10 @ 6:23PM

Constantly placing Israel under pressure to concede is silly in the extreme. Weakness is a provocation, and always has been. Arabs understand one thing, strength. The best thing we could do is serve notice on the Arabs that if they kick off another battle that we will not pressure Israel to stand down. If they want to be stupid and try us, then their blood is on their own heads.

Ken (Old Texican)| 9.11.10 @ 12:32PM

Quartermaster,
(smile) Muslim terrorists perhaps only understand one other thing: being dead.

Darn it, let's just shoot them all and let God and Allah sort them out.

Tim*| 9.11.10 @ 2:28PM

Allah Is God to Arabic-speakers , including Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews.

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 6:43PM

If you are referring to the Allah of the Koran you are mightily mistaken. The God of Christians is the God of the Bible.

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 8:07PM

Uh Oh ! Apocalyptic Religion of Margie Crank is back.

Now tell all the practicing Jews and Muslims where your Religion of Margie thinks they go when they die .

See a therapist .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 8:33PM

I take it you disagree. Too bad. I will repeat:

The God of the Koran is NOT the God of the Bible. And if you were a Christian, you would know that.

Now, get your head screwed on straight. Read the Bible. Get right with God.

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 8:52PM

Now , why on earth would any person listen to a Religious Crank like you Lamb Chop .

You think practicing Jews & Muslims don't go to heaven .
Aaaand , you're an Anti-Catholic daughter of Catholics to boot .
You're American Spectator's Resident Religious Crank .

Get Your Head Outta Your Fat Rump Sweetie Pie .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 9:00PM

You are one nasty little human being, aren't you? You think that because you say something it's true, just like your other Leftist pals. You're nothing but a very useful idiot, and a liar.

Take up your contention with the Almighty. I trust Him. He says this:

"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living." Mt. 22:32.

Got a problem with that, Timmy?

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 9:25PM

Well ain't you , Margie the bus callin' the lemon pie yellow .

Yup , I gotta problem with a Religious Nutbag like You Chubby Cheeks .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 9:35PM

Typical Leftist. Name call and lie because you hate the Truth. You are disagreeing with the Bible. It isn't me you disagree with. You & RCV & Nate are in reality the hateful ones. You pick and choose what you want to believe, and make the rest up. And anyone who dares to confront you you spew your filthy hateful mouths.

God hates liars. Liars go to Hell. Lotsa luck!

Who Ya Callin' Leftist , Faux Conservative Broad ?

I'm a registered Republican ,who helped purge The RINO-CINO Arlen Specter & who voted twice each for Bush 41 & Bush 43 & opposed Bush on TARP and I'm a Tea Party Rebel , who refused to vote for The Serial Traitor to Conservatism John McCain , of McCain-Feingold , McCain-Kennedy , McCain-Lieberman , Gang of 14 , Opposing The Bush Tax Cuts of 2001 &2003; , and voted for TARP against The Republican Rebels .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 10:44PM

You're a Leftist, son. You don't vote for the party that is opposed to Obama. You have no right to complain or bash those of us who voted Republican. You're a fraud and one huge useful idiot. You don't participate in the process that this country has set up, you don't get to complain. Got it, phony?

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 11:46PM

You're a deceitful liar Faux Christian Posseur Margie . you already know I exercised my voting franchise with a protest vote for my brother in law ,because McCain is a Serial Traitor to Conservatism .
You , on the otherhand , voted for The Serial Traitor to Conservatism John McCain , you Fraud Conservative . Now tell all The AS Readers ,Who Ya voted for on Super Tuesday in The 2008 New Joisey Republican Primary RINO-CINO .

You Get Nothin' Pretender RINO-CINO .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 11:55PM

Better than Voting for RINO-CINO's Specter , Castle and The Serial Traitor to Conservatism John McCain .

You start fights and ad nauseum continue fights Principled Conservatives , when you defend the likes of McCain RINO-CINO Broad .

You're Bozo The Clowness .

Margie| 9.13.10 @ 2:33PM

Liar. I speak truth to liars like you when you lie. Like when you say the God of the Koran is the same God whom Christians worship.

Now when you decide to stop slandering a Christian who stands on the Bible, and repent of your Muslim sympathizing and anti-semitism, you too will be a "principled conservative."

RCV| 9.14.10 @ 5:06PM

Margie, since you called me out, I feel I have to answer. I have never like the manner in which you and Tim call each other childish names. If anyone doesn't share your religious beliefs to a tee, you call them Liars and worse. That's not a Christian way to act. Catholics are Christians, too, even if you have theological differences with them. Christ has asked only that we accept him as our saviour. The rest is detail. He's told us that all the law and the Prophets can be summed up as love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. God bless you and try to be at peace.

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 9:28PM

The god of the Koran is a phony Moon "god." Christians know this and so why do you so vehemently object to the truth?

Are you a Muslim or something? Do you yourself worship "Allah" the pagan Moon god?

Why do you not agree with what the Bible says? False gods are have no place among Christians.

Here is a link explaining the "god" of the Koran.

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm

Tim* | 9.12.10 @ 9:46PM

You already know I'm a Catholic , and I already know that you have a problem with practicing Catholics , Jews , Muslims , and just about any other Religious Group , who doesn't adhere to your Religion of Margie .

I also sense that somethin' else is drivin' your perpetual hate .

Get some Counseling .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 9:54PM

Even if I "have a problem" as you incorrectly say~ (I have a problem with false doctrine, not with people who don't know any better). And so if I know something's untrue I say it because that's what the Bible says I should do:

"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." Eph. 5:11.

So if you're a Christian, you would do the same and you wouldn't accuse me of hate for doing God's will.

If you are a Christian you would want to be Biblical. You falsely accuse.

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 10:07PM

Sorry Faux Christian Posseur , Margie .
I pretty much got your number .
You're in deep denial Crank Lady .
You've left a continuous trail of hate and criticism against almost any religion that doesn't agree with you're Religion of Margie Agenda .

J'accuse .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 10:40PM

Yes indeed Timmy~ I certainly do oppose any Religion that isn't Biblical. And if you were a real Christian, so would you. You call it hate~ so do the Leftists. You are on the side of the Enemy and against true Christians.

God's got your number, fraud.

You disagree with the Bible and thus with Him.

Tim*| 9.12.10 @ 10:53PM

You got your Hate , Faux Christian Margie and your own personal interpretation of the Bible to front Your Personal Hate Agenda .

I notice ya hardly name your Church , it's tenets or go the positive route , but rather spend your time initiatin' put downs of many other religions .

God has your number Margie .

Margie| 9.12.10 @ 11:50PM

Listen you little nerd,

Yes God's got my number, thankfully. Otherwise say, if I were in YOUR hands~where would I be? You talk about hatred? I bet you'd probably want to kill me you have such venom towards me. You could teach the jihadis a thing or two.

My church is the church not built by human hands. (Acts 7:48). The church I belong to is called the body of Christ and in it are believers by the millions all over this world. My Christian brethren hold to the tenets of the Bible. We forsake all false Religions and follow no man because Jesus Himself said "cursed is he who trusts in the arm of the flesh." Jer. 17:5.

As for initiating put downs~ what a hypocrite!

And the Bible needs no interpretation, it speaks for itself. Either you agree with it, or you don't. And you obviously do not.

You're a liar.

Tim*| 9.13.10 @ 9:19AM

We get it .
Margie doesn't even name her Church ,while she initiates daily fights with everyone else on AS about their religion .

It's The Church of Margie versus Catholics , Mormons , Jews , Muslims .......

Next come Episcopalians ,Presbyterians , Buddhists .....

Margie| 9.13.10 @ 11:13AM

And all of this vomit from Timmy because I spoke the truth. That the God of the Koran is not the God of the Bible.

If you are a believer in God then you believe in Him and what He says. Either you believe in the God of the Bible or you are calling Him a liar, along with those who belong to Him.

Tim*| 9.13.10 @ 1:35PM

The Truth according to Crank Lady Margie's Personal Interpretation of The Bible .

Now tell all the AS readers aboutThe beliefs Catholics , Jews ,Muslims and Mormons ,Episcopaliuans ,Presbyterians ,Lutherans and anyone else ,who doesn't follow Crank Lady Margie's Religion of Margie .

Margie| 9.13.10 @ 2:29PM

Apparently you really aren't a Christian. From whence do you get your information? The Koran?

Now Timmy, tell AS readers where you get your information? And tell AS readers which church you attend, so that all the AS readers can find you!

Meanwhile, I will continue to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, which you HATE:

"Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." Nicode'mus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.' The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit." Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?" Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you Heavenly things? No one has ascended into Heaven but he who descended from Heaven, the Son of man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life." For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the Light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God." Jn. 3:3-21.

It's clear the hatred you have towards Christians, and therefore God.

I hope you repent someday, but if you don't you are going to Hell.

Margie| 9.16.10 @ 2:10AM

Tim* is an anti-Semite who believes in Replacement Theology. He believes that his church replaces Israel. So Israel is justifiably null & void now. According to him.

He says that the pope believes this too. This is what the Toddards & Tim*s of this country think. It's why he absolutely hates Biblical Christians who believe the Bible. That Christ came to fulfill the Law, NOT to abolish it. And that God's promise to Israel that they will never stop being a nation is for ever!

Tim* has been exposed.

Tom| 9.11.10 @ 10:28PM

Why, then, are we once again in the midst of a negotiation that is predicated on the foolish idea that a genuine peace can be forged between freedom and tyranny?
