Liberals can't understand that radical Muslims hate Jews & Israel

To the editor,

Another stupid liberal idea is offered for the Middle East. I don't know how many times now the lesson has been taught and liberals just don't learn. It's been said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of crazy. This lends credence to those who say liberalism is a mental disorder.

President Obama, last week, urged Israel to return to it's pre-1967 borders. This is supposed to appease the Palestinians and open the path to a peaceful resolution of the troubles there. Really? Really, really, really? He has got to be kidding? Liberals are predisposed to appeasement I know, but after 60 odd years of broken promises and agreements by numerous Muslim leaders and radical groups why have not even liberals gotten it into their heads that it is not a give back of land that motivates them? It's the complete destruction of Israel they say they want but is even that true? I doubt it.

What we are dealing with there is that regions version of the KKK. Hammas, PLO, and all those other groups are religious hate organizations motivated by the same things that motivated the Klan. They even use the same tactics up to and including terrorism and murder. First off they hate Jews and even if Israel were to be destroyed they would still hate Jews. They would still want to kill Jews and do so at every opportunity. Also they hate Christians, especially American Christians and only slightly less so American non-Christians because this country supports Israel. Even if we hadn't supported Israel they would hate America because we are not Muslim, though we shouldn't feel special because they also hate Hindus and Buddhists. In fact the only people they don't hate are other Muslims except of course those Muslims who are not of the right sect or fundamental enough (read radical enough).

Every American president since Eisenhower has struggled with and tried to resolve the Middle East situation to no avail. Why is because radical Muslims don't want a peaceful resolution they have been taught from childhood to hate and murder. They want their 72 virgins. (Probably no one explained that a virgin is only virgin once. Apparently they haven't figured out that after the 72 one they still have the rest of eternity to deal with).

Dealing with the problems in the Middle East is something like dealing with diabetes. You can't cure it but you can manage it. Our president would rather go with the appeasement policy which has failed nations and people all throughout history. When I see our liberal president taking that approach once again I can only shake my head as mutter, "stupid" under my breath.
