I’m in a swearing kind of mood today. Coffee doesn’t seem to be helping a great deal at this point. After all, coffee’s hot. It’s hot outside. It’s hot inside. I have to call someone to get them out here to see what’s wrong with the air conditioning unit for the downstairs.

It’s July. It’s supposed to be hot. It’s amusing to read all the headlines about the heat…

It would be unusual if it were March……or April. But it’s July! Sheesh!

But then I read this unbelievable tripe by Richard Cohen and it’s a good thing I’m not drinking coffee.

Cohen writes that Israel is a mistake. Cohen is a Jewish name so that means that Richard Cohen is somewhat Jewish or genetically Jewish anyway. A son of Israel calling her a mistake is akin to a daughter calling her mother a b*tch. People curse their parents all the time.

But for a self-hating man like Cohen to describe the great and ancient nation of Israel using a mundane, anemic word like “mistake” is an indication that the man has no soul. He’s so comfortable and self-centered in his thinking that he makes no attempt to open his mind to reality. I suppose Cohen’s example explains all manner of beliefs and reasoning.

I try not to swear. I really do. Using obscenities or swear-words generally add nothing to intelligent conversations or writing but in this case I don’t know how else to describe Cohen. He is a Jew who lives and writes as a free man in a free country. But he’s made the choice to denigrate the tragic and amazing history of his people by calling Israel a “mistake.” Cohen is a son of a b*tch.

The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake. It is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now. Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself.

No, Richard. Buttening your shirt wrong is a mistake.

The establishment of the nation of Israel was never a mistake but has always been a challenge and that’s because of the virulent hatred of Israel’s enemies and not Israel herself.

This much I agree with…….

It is also true, as some critics warned, that Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon was seen by its enemies — and claimed by Hezbollah — as a defeat for the mighty Jewish state. Hezbollah took credit for this, as well it should. Its persistent attacks bled Israel. In the end, Israel got out and the United Nations promised it a secure border. The Lebanese army would see to that. (And the check is in the mail.)

But the rest of the article is the writing of a small minded, appeaser who has no soul and is a son of a b*tch.

Allahpundit’s pointed me in the direction of Meryl Yourish who administers a b*tch slapping to the self-hating Cohen.
