Atlas: Tell it to the Arabs!

Atlas is right on.

What nerve. Tell it to the Gazans. Tell it to the Arabs with all their ginormous land. The nerve [of] this antisemite. Over at Israpundit

US concerned over building in J'lem'

On Monday during a tour of Mea Shearim, a haredi neighborhood bordering on Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, US Ambassador to Israel Richard H. Jones told The Jerusalem Post that the US was "concerned about where things are built in Jerusalem".

Referring to the overcrowded haredi neighborhoods in Jerusalem, Jones said he was aware of the shortage of housing, but added: "Sometimes people do have to move to a different location. They cannot always stay close to their families."

This man is a diplomat? FUFB. Remember how Dhimmedia told us time and time again, prior to the disengagement, how OVERCROWDED Gaza was? Funny, it's always the Jews who have to move. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that's getting old already. How 'bout Jews live wherever they damn well please?

And btw Mr. Ambassador, my son lives in Mea Shearim, not close at all to his parents in the U.S. I wish we had known you would be in his neighborhood. The yeshiva guys there could have told you much that you need to learn.

BtB nearly four years ago:

.... Our first expulsion, that from the land of Israel, was tended to by the Babylonians in 597 BCE. We were expelled from Rome by the emperor Claudius, from Alexandria in the year 415 and from Spain (the first time) in 694. We've been expelled from Switzerland four times and from France, five or six. We were expelled from England by Edward I in 1290, from Hungary in 1349 and from Cologne in 1453.

In 1492, we were expelled from Sicily, Sardinia, Lithuania and Spain. In the 1500s we were expelled from Arles, Italy, Carinthia, Austria, Portugal, Nuremberg and Brandenburg. We were then expelled from the French colonies in the New World, from the Ukraine, Brussels, Little Russia, Great Russia, Prague, Bohemia, Moravia and Warsaw. We were even expelled from northern Mississippi, Kentucky and western Tennessee - by Ulysses S. Grant.

Almost all the Jews (over 800,000) have [fled or] been expelled from Arab countries since 1948.

The state of Israel was supposed to solve all that, yet in my lifetime, I have to read Leslie Lomas recommending moving the Jews again, as a "step to peace." And as if this weren't enough, she then adds insult to injury by being outraged against any notion of moving Arabs. That, she says, would be "ethnic cleansing"!

I was prepared to support Sharon's desperate plan to expel the Jews from Gaza, but Lomas has shown me the error of my ways: When it comes to moving the Jews, justification can always be found -be it a poisoned well or a chance at peace- but no matter how much we move, it's never enough. It reminds me of those medieval mobs who dug up Jewish cemeteries and burned our bones. We just cannot get dead enough to satisfy.

So why try to please?
