28. I'm pretty sure you missed the point by a mile there...
The comment about a TV how on Faux sNews was a sarcastic reference to his strong conservative opinions. The guy's a self-confessed Likudnik http://wordfromjerusalem.com/?p=1299 Strange how you missed that about Leibler...

Most everyone else in this thread has picked up that the author of the OP has some rather unsavoury views. Please read this article called 'Evil is evil' and since you were so interested in bigotry further up in the thread, tell me if you find this article about the Palestinian people bigoted or not...

'Indeed the Jews have faced no such evil since the Nazis. That should not be construed as a racist statement or a primitive demonization of an entire people. It is calling a spade a spade. US President George W. Bush refers to evil states. Our Palestinian neighbors who seek the destruction of the Jewish people represent the essence of evil and barbarism. And now is the time for us to say so to the world at large, loud and clear. We are not suggesting that the Palestinian people are intrinsically or genetically any more evil than the Germans were under Hitler. We are saying that, like the Nazis, the Palestinian leaders have succeeded in indoctrinating their people and transforming them into a society which is inspired by evil.

It is evil when a society extols as heroes those who target civilians at gatherings such as a Pessah Seder, a bar mitzva, or a discotheque.

It is evil when a society sanctions the revival of the ancient custom of child sacrifice.

It is evil when a people bestows the highest level of merit on suicide bombers whose objective is to kill the maximum number of Jews.

It is evil when mothers display themselves on television conveying pride that their children have become “martyrs” and expressing the hope that their younger offspring will follow in the same tradition and also die killing Israelis.

It is evil when the proud parents of “martyrs” are publicly rewarded for sacrificing their children by being provided with $25,000 from Saddam Hussein and lauded for their contribution by Arafat himself.

It is evil when children in kindergarten are taught songs and poems which extol the virtues of killing Jews. When four year-olds are taught at summer camps how to shoot Jews and indoctrinated into accepting as role models the “heroic martyrs” who died in order to kill the “wicked” Jews who “usurped” their land.

One video repeatedly shown on Palestinian television incorporates a children’s song with the lyric “How pleasant is the smell of a martyr, how pleasant the smell of the land, the land enriched by the blood, the blood pouring out of a fresh body.”

It is evil when an entire religious establishment calls on its faithful to hate Jews because they are Jews; to “have no mercy on the Jews wherever they are, in any country. Fight them wherever they are. Whenever you meet them, kill them because they established Israel here, in the beating heart of the Arab world, in Palestine.” That extract from a Gaza mosque sermon broadcast on Arafat’s television station, is typical of the daily diet of Islamic fundamentalist incitement directed against Jews.

And if not evil incarnate, how can one explain or justify the joyous street celebrations that erupt as soon as there is news of Israeli women and children having been blown apart by one of the heroic “shahids”?

How else to view such behavior other than as evidence of a truly evil society?
