Israel-It's Time To Stop Reading Gideon Levy

   Just a few weeks ago the weekly section of the Torah was Noah.  Noah's Ark is called התיבה (teva) in Hebrew.  The other place that this word is used is in Exodus (2:3) when Moses is placed in an ark to save him from being drowned by Pharaoh.  Just as the "teva" saved Noah from the flood (mabul in Hebrew from the word bilbul, or mess), Moses was saved from the drowning waters of Egypt (in fact Moses, Moshe in Hebrew from from the verb limshot-to draw something out of the water).
    Today, we are in the same bilbul (mess).  Nowhere else can that better be seen than in the pages of Haaretz.  In an editorial America, stop sucking up to Israel, once again Gideon Levy points his scornful finger at the territories:

Before no other country on the planet does the United States kneel and plead like this. In other trouble spots, America takes a different tone. It bombs in Afghanistan, invades Iraq and threatens sanctions against Iran and North Korea. Did anyone in Washington consider begging Saddam Hussein to withdraw from occupied territory in Kuwait?


But Israel the occupier, the stubborn contrarian that continues to mock America and the world by building settlements and abusing the Palestinians, receives different treatment. Another massage to the national ego in one video, more embarrassing praise in another.
Levy doesn't take into account that perhaps the reason why America "kneels and pleads" like this is because most people in America worship a Jew!  Just because "jews" like Levy don't take Judaism seriously, it doesn't mean that non-Jews do not.  On the contrary, the passionate interest of the world in everything and everyone involved here indicates that Israel, not Broadway, is the world's center stage.
    Like so many of Israel's (self-appointed) assimilated European intelligentsia,  Gideon Levy continues to mock Israel by verbally abusing settlers, the settlement enterprise, and America for going out on a limb for the right reasons.  Nowhere else but on the pages of Haaretz can this diseased sick-man called "Secular Zionism" be seen stumbling around, confused, mumbling obscenities at his fellow Israelis.  "The Land" (Haaretz) is in fact occupied.  It is occupied by the likes of Levy and the other verbal terrorists who use Jewish concepts to occupy and thwart the return of Jews the real Land.  Let the rest of us not drown in this flood of self-deprecation and ignorance.
