Did the Jewish Resistance Over React to Nazi Aggression in WWII?

The entire “proportional response” argument implies the following narrative:

Israel should count the number of rockets and mortars shot against them and fire the exact same number back, that way it is “fair” and “proportional”.

Do you now see how foolish such a position is? If Mexico had launched 10 rockets a week against the United States and one of those killed your family, would you demand that the United States fire 10 rockets back and stop?

Or would you demand that your government provide some security and see to it that Mexico could never launch a rocket again?

The real question is; how can anyone apply such a preposterous argument against Israel and not expect to get pegged as an antisemite?

Three Republican’s Cave to the Corruption Lined Porkulus Bill

I wonder what they got in the bill for their districts or supporters that convinced them to vote for it. The text of it is linked below so we will see soon enough.

Michelle Malkin’s post is so good that I know I can’t do better so here it is:

 

Burning the midnight oil: The Sellout Amendment is here

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 7, 2009 11:29 PM

The full, cave-in “compromise” porkulus amendment of GOP Sens. Collins, Specter, and Snowe finally arrived in my inbox tonight at 11:14pm Eastern.

So, your representatives of the “most deliberative body in the world” have barely a day to digest and debate the 778-page legislative text before rushing to vote on cloture Monday evening.

Like Dave Ramsey says: “Desperate always reap stupid.”

I’m uploading the whole thing for you so you can see it, too.

Get out your hip-waders.

Highlights coming.

In the meantime, make note of this observation from Justin Hart in response to the earlier chart outlining the Sellout Amendment’s bottom-line spending statistics (which I blogged about this afternoon here):

[figures in the thousands]
Agriculture: $5,109,430
Commerce: $21,513,000
Defense: $3,746,000
Energy & Water: $53,843,000
Financial & Gen. Govt: $10,762,000
Homeland Security: $5,076,700
Interior: $11,643,600
Labor, HHS, Education: $169,184,000
Military & VA: $7,428,295
THUD: $60,580,500
Appropriations: $365,629,525 (of course, this one isn’t broken out)

Bottom line: Global Warming, Government Healthcare, Teachers Unions, School Building Contractors, Subsidized Housing, and MASSIVE Pork.
