Is Cindy Sheehan “Anti-Semite”?
8/24/2005 7:32:00 AM GMT
Sheehan has been recently accused of being anti-Semite just because she said that if Israel’s occupation to Palestine ended it will contribute to a reduction in “terror”.
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11," some media sources quoted Iraq war protestor Cindy Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son -- Army Spc. Casey Sheehan of Vacaville, California ﾐ died in Baghdad's Sadr City on April 4, as saying.
Calling Sheehan anti-Semite is simply obscene, all American Jews should pay close attention to the arguments the woman is trying to make on this occasion.
What's wrong in expressing her wish of ending the Israeli occupation in Palestine?
How can forcing people out of their homes for sixty years be justified?
What Sheehan, who now symbolizes the USA’s antiwar grief, is referring to is the U.S. government’s blind support for the policies and actions of Israel and refusal to admit that the Israeli occupation troops bear full responsibility for the killing of innocent Palestinians, which have led to a spiral of violence in the Middle East.
Why the political party in America with a “religion problem” and a “race problem” is the Republican Party? Howard Dean called the Republican Party mainly a "white-Christian party".
What he said is to a great extent true. One of the only demographics Republicans win consistently is white, Christian men. Democrats, on the other hand, win with Latinos, blacks, immigrants, and Jews (pretty much everyone else).
76% of the Jewish community in America voted for John Kerry, while 24% voted for Bush.
The "white-Christian" Republican Party is supported mainly by the “white-Christian” Southerners. Abraham Lincoln called himself a Republican, but some analysts say that the Republican Party of Lincoln is now the Democratic Party, and that the descendants of the Democratic Party of the segregated-South, make up the current Republican base.
The anti-Semitic, anti-black Southerners, from Zell Miller, to David Duke, to Tony Perkins, to Trent Lott, to Jesse Helms, to Strom Thurmond, are all remnants of the old Democratic Party; now firmly implanted in the Republican Party.
Cindy simply believes that ending the Israeli occupation in Palestine will contribute to peace in the region. Of course ending the occupation in Palestine won’t put an immediate end to the Middle East conflict, nothing can, but it will certainly help.
If Sheehan understands this fundamental concept, why doesn’t George W. Bush?
