After lavish kudos from a string of MKs who are understandably overjoyed to find an American celebrity who praises Israel, it took MK Aryeh Eldad of the National Union party to set Beck straight. The physician/MK told Beck, who had explained to the Knesset members how he was not a journalist but a story teller, two stories about Arab patients he had treated.
Both cases are well known in Israel--the shlemiel terrorist who tried to blow up children outside a wedding hall in Jerusalem but slipped and severely injured himself as he tried to make for an entrance where more kids were standing, and the woman who was treated for injuries sustained at the hands of her family for some honor offense, and then returned to Soroka Hospital strapped with explosives and blew herself up.
These are NOT people with values like ours, Eldad declared and that has to be understood if the civilized world wants to win.
It wasn't clear whether the message got through to Beck, or whether his August 24 Jerusalem rally will be another feel good event for the masses.

Shalom. I agree with you about being honest about Palestinian intentions, and not comparing them with Israelis. However, I think Glenn truly loves Israel, and his intentions are good. I trust you in Israel to guide him, to teach him, and to let him be a powerful voice for Israel. He has a large audience, and many more support Israel because of Glenn's support. God bless you, and you remain in my every prayer. - Kristy
It is so sad how ignorant Westerners, thinking that they understand the situation, speak and act. They don't understand Islam, which prohibits any Muslim from living in peace with those they genuinely believe are infidels. How can you have a relationship with someone who solemnly believes that it is his duty to kill you?
