From Israel to Gaza to Tehran to Texas | Men Will Destroy Us All

Pastor Hagee and Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem 3/8/10

I’m clear now that Israel has aligned itself with the Far Right and Fundamentalism. Clearly I hang out with too many liberal Jews to understand that fact.

Listening to Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speak on March 8, 2010 with a warm embrace of John Charles Hagee, CEO of Global Evangelism Television (GETV) and American founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church, with more than 19,000 members, I’m having my own revelation.

Hours after Israel humiliated not only America, Vice President Joe Biden and me personally — someone who has always stood with Israel, although I support peace and a home for Palestine — I must face the facts.

The American economy, terrorism, war and the future of my family — not only Israel — are all caught up in these speeches. We’re talking about my family’s DNA here in America, not only Israel’s.

I can’t imagine a much bigger embarrassment than the one Israel handed to America yesterday, authorizing the construction of 1,600 units in Ramat Shlomo, an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood north of downtown Jerusalem.

Eli Yishai apologized today during an interview on Israel Radio “for the distress this matter caused.”

“If I’d have known, I would have postponed the authorization by a week or two since we had no intention of provoking anyone,” Yishai said. “It is definitely unpleasant that this happened during Biden’s visit.”

On occasion, I’m compelled to say: “You must really think we’re stupid!!!!”  Two weeks from now, especially if any progress was made in unofficial talks in the Middle East, would be a worse time to make the announcement.

I’ve erased my words five times already in this post. So let me just say that I am so angry that I cannot speak. Words in cyberspace tend to be permanent, and I don’t want to regret mine.

With all due respect to the outstanding diplomatic skills of Hillary Clinton and George Mitchell, and presumably Joe Biden, there are moments when honesty is the best policy.  One can’t move forward when there’s no place to go.

We’re all a reflection of our friends. This is the future of Israel and America together. You had best watch the video. One must ask whether Israel is any more committed to peace than Hamas.

Make no mistake. Hamas wants the fireball, too. This is a male thing, all the way around — which doesn’t ignore the fact that Jihad Jane has also signed up to the cause. There are exceptions, but in the future of Jerusalem — the one Bibi and John Hagee lust for — women cannot pray at the Western wall, because we are lesser creatures than these eminently brilliant men.

I’ve written several times that men have lust for Armageddon, and Bibi and his friend John Hagee confirm my worst fears. But can we please just be honest and stop insulting each other’s intelligence. Women may be lesser creatures in your playbooks, but we’re not entirely stupid, totally devoid of beta matter.

Until Israel convinces me otherwise, they equal Hamas and the Palestinians in having no desire for peace. I have no idea where we go from here, but America is declining into ruins, which is exactly where John Hagee wants her. Armageddon is his cause for celebration. Listen in to Israel’s good friend John Hagee. And remember, there is no room for women at the Western Wall.  War and religion are man’s business.  Anne
