Pat Buchanan Calls Israel “Unchristian, Unamerican”
Pat Buchanan has lost it. In the past he has been fairly reasonable, occasionally nudging the president and others remind them of their conservative roots, but now he has launched an all-out attack on Israel and Bush. His screed in World Net Daily is completely over the top, blasting Israel?s policy of attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“Such a policy violates international law and comports neither with our values nor our interests. It is un-American and un-Christian.”
It may have slipped his mind, but Israel is not America and is a Jewish nation, not Christian. I?m sorry it offends Buchanan?s delicate sensibilities for a sovereign nation to defend itself. Pat Buchanan has not suffered under an almost daily assault from neighbors who deny his right to exist. He has not given up his own land in a vain attempt to placate murderous thugs and he has certainly not seen his schools, restaurants, bus stops and homes under relentless rocket attack.
Get off your self-righteous high horse, Pat.
