Landau wants to be raped
Reader comment on item: Israeli Leftists Plead for U.S. Pressure on Their Government

Submitted by Rafi (United States), Dec 27, 2007 at 18:19

Once again the nattering nabobs of negativism are at it again. An effete member of the Tel Aviv talking set has the chutzpah to tell the Secretary of State how to deal with his country. Not one name mentioned by Dr. Pipes has ever run for the Knesset or any other public position. Rather, it is much easier to belittle one's own country to foreigners.

It would do well for Landau to learn some manners when at a dinner and to learn ever after almost 40 years in Israel that old saw about all the world's problems being the fault of the Jews and the bicycle riders. For those who do not know the answer, it is: why the bicycle riders? and why the Jews?!
