In Praise of Glenn Beck: He Does the Job Everyone Else Ignores
Glenn Beck knows the difference between good and evil. One of the themes he has emphasized has been the affinity of sections of the international and U.S. left-wing with radical Islamists, and he has pointed to the role played by Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers in the forthcoming pro-Hamas flotilla scheduled for this June. Today’s New York Times reports that when another flotilla sails this month for Israel, it will include a ship carrying 34 Americans, including the noted African-American writer, Alice Walker. The ship will be named “The Audacity of Hope,” ironically lifting their title from President Obama’s own memoir, and obviously meant to show the president how he inspired them to act against Israel.
The story reveals that the American members are being organized by Leslie Cagan, whom the paper simply identifies as “a political organizer.” As usual, the Times story seeks to put Cagan in the best light possible. It would be far more accurate to call her an extremist of the far Left fringe in our country, as the entry on Discover the Networks shows in great detail:
Cagan was an original founder of the Committees of Correspondence, a splinter group rooted in the Communist Party USA (of which Cagan is a longtime member). A strong supporter of Fidel Castro, she proudly aligns her politics with those of Communist Cuba.
During the 1980s and 90s she was a leader of the Communist front group, the U.S. Peace Council, which was dedicated to defending and promoting Soviet aims in foreign policy.
Sometime around those years, I was pitted against her on a PBS TV talk show. I recall that the subject was the nuclear freeze that was so popular in that time. Cagan vigorously defended Soviet policy as anti-war, and blasted the U.S. for imperialism and warmongering. In 2003, Cagan chaired the International ANSWER anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., and heralded the Workers World Party’s leadership of it, and what she called “the hard-core left’s” leadership of the movement.
So now Cagan is joining her comrades Ayers and Dohrn for this new venture, supported as well by the left-wing lawyer Michael Ratner, president of the very misnamed Center for Constitutional Rights — the main legal supporter of terrorists and their backers in our country. What all these people are doing was explained correctly by an Israeli spokesman, Noam Katz, who called it “a political statement in order to support Hamas in Gaza.” For Cagan and company to compare themselves to the Freedom Riders who fought segregation in the 1960s is an affront to that cause and to its participants, and is typical of the kind of propaganda in which they regularly engage.
How sad that so many supporting the cause of terror and radical Islam are themselves Jews, who betray their faith and the heritage of their fathers and mothers and who reveal that the only cause they serve with fervor is that of international leftism and revolution, now in the service of radical Islam and those who seek to destroy Israel.
So kudos to Glenn Beck for pointing these things out daily, and for devoting his last months on Fox News to gathering support for the state of Israel.
Great post as usual. It might be that the ship is named “The Audacity of Hope” as a dig not as a nod. Ayers is the alleged author of the book. Obama has been a disappointment to the far left. I wouldn’t say Beck is not an intellectual or a historian. That sounds elitist. I would guess that you wouldn’t hesitate to call the author of the Times story a journalist. By the quality of the work, I would say Beck is more of an intellectual than the Times writer is a journalist.
wouldn’t it be so nice if a freak storm blew up and sank the audacity of hope with all hands going down with the ship???
I’m afraid however Mr. Beck has twisted and mangled Iranian history Mr. Radosh. Some of the stuff this fellow has said on the air about Iran and Iranian history has upset Iranians the world over. I’m glad he has shed light on anti-Semitism but he has shed one heck of a lot of darkness on our history and identity. To us, the man is intellectually dishonest. But like I said, glad you’re happy with him.
Interesting. Do you mind providing three examples where Mr. Beck has misrepresented Iranian history. It might also be helpful to clarify why those examples irritate Iranians if the source of irritation is not obvious.
It would be very helpful to the reader and the supporters of Beck if you could be specific about the areas where you feel Iran has been maligned.
I, too, would like your perspective on his errors of the Iranian history. Thanks.
Beck may not be an “intellectual”, but he does exemplify the greatness of the common American when it comes to major issues. Right and wrong, tyranny and freedom, truth from lies….
He gets it.
We get it.
But the “intellectuals” usually dont.
Its the same double standard that perpetuates the “elite”, and has been regurgitated by the lefist media all of my lifetime.
The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations, coupled with radical chic’, makes all the evil in the world OUR fault.
Excellent post, Root. You perfectly sum up the so-called elite. It is heartening to see more and more ordinary, hard working people (aka NON-intellectuals) waking up to the reality of the double standard. It gives me hope. The real kind.
one of the great refreshing strengths of America is the ability to “cut to the chase” – exemplified in the classic Western movie genre – Good v Evil – but seen in so many other areas.
Unfortunatley this binary world view also can lead you into trouble – but overall – I think it’s a strength
I read somewhere a simple definition of an intellectual. An intellectual is not some bow-tied pipe smoking geek always quoting obsure writings of obscure authors. An intellectual is simply someone with the ability to process their thoughts without first filtering them through some preodained dogma such as their favored political or religious beliefs. One does not need advanced degrees or any degrees to be an intellectual.

I read this story with such pity for my fellow Jews. I was once like these left leaning nut jobs until I woke up. Its a shame these groups they so highly admire are the ones who would be the first to kill them. They are a indeed a bunch of useful idiots. This is a great article overall. I only wish my fellow Jews would wake up and realiza who their true enemies are. No its not the people on the right, or evenglical Christians like Pat Robertson, and John Hagee. All these people at least have the chutzpah to stand up for Israel and do the right thing. I’ll take Gleen Beck any day over the imposter in Chief we have in the white house.
Spot-on David M. Now, I wish the other 78% who voted for Obama would see the light like you and not remain willfully blind.
That’s right — Glenn Beck did not grow up in the Northeast, and he sometimes makes mistakes. So what? And who, other than Lefty poseurs, wants to be known as an “intellectual”?
I imagine his ratings are dropping because he has become more informative — more of a teacher — and less entertaining. Regular TV viewers are notorious for not being able to bear very much real-reality, as opposed to TV-reality.
Anyway, I hope people will watch these programs on anti-semiticism. As you say, very few are speaking out on the subject. I know from experience that many Muslim Americans are not bashful in expressing their hatred of Jews, not just of Israelis.
This is why the state of Israel must be destroyed. Islam cannot be legitmate until all the Jews are wiped out into the sea.I have nothing aganist anyone of differetn faiths. It is Islam itself which is imcompatable with the rest of the world. Most of these people are brain washed to believe all Jews are evil people. It is the religion of Islam which encourages hatred of others and to lie as well. At least we don’t preach hatred for anyone. The Torah is about living Godly values and loving your fellow human. In fact we obligated to do Tikum Olam which means to repair the world. Yes, make this world a better place then when you first inherited it.I only wish all these crazy muslims would stop hating anyone who is not like them. Enough with this crap already.
If you truly believe this is “Tikun Olam” then why don’t you stop breathing so as not to create any excess Carbon Dioxide and do your part to save the planet.
I strongly disagree that this has anything to do with saving the world. In fact, the state of Israel may be doing more to save the world than anyone else by standing up to the intolerance of these Islamic theocracies while serving as an example of the separation of religion and state.
Ultimately, a real “Tikun Olam” means that someone has to teach the Islamic Fundamentalists tolerance. Are you going to commit yourself to do that?
I didn’t think so.
You can’t be serious. You’re telling someone their religious obligation is to die?
That’s close enough to “the only good Jew is a dead Jew” that you’re just godwining yourself here.
Your first sentence is really a stupid reply and spoils the rest of your comment.
As to the last bit:
Ultimately, a real “Tikun Olam” means that someone has to teach the Islamic Fundamentalists tolerance. Are you going to commit yourself to do that?
I didn’t think so.
It displays the true apathy of the American voter in not driving his representative in Congress to really represent his wishes. To pressure those supporting this culture into stopping their behaviour; but I suppose in the interests of monetary gain and an easy ride until another 9/11 hits home they will continue their hypocritical support of such regimes.
Just as the Brits sold their soul for Qaddafi’s oil and showed a finger to the families of those murdered by this regime so they continue with their anti-Israel actions – the country that closed the door to life for millions of European Jews at the start to the Second World war (basically locked them in for Hitler to round up) sides with the Palestinians, and the country that stereotyped Jews in its literature for centuries as money grubbers goes crawling for Arab oil; and where’s the outcry?
Why weren’t Americans in their millions protesting at the outrageous act of freeing the Pan Am bomber?
Why aren’t they screaming at Obama giving Brazil drilling rights and jobs in the gulf instead of securing America’s security of energy independence and so denying “giving” billions of dollars for extremist oil, billions to eventually be used against Americans?
Just as the Christian world displayed amazing apathy to the PLO atrocities against Christians in Lebanon in the 1970s so the apathy presents itself once again in a new century this time in a different setting.
Those today who ask how the Jews of 1930s Europe could have been caught up in the Holocaust should have a bucket of cold water thrown over them.
You must have missed the tea parties and the town halls. Our representatives DON’T represent us anymore. That’s quite obvious. In fact, they are downright hostile to us.
Even when you send someone who is “good” to DC something horrible happens to them there. I don’t know – the water, the air, perhaps some real thuglike threats against their families? Whatever, something happens to them and they stop even pretending to listen to us.
Glen Beck’s ratings are still close to 2 million viewers at 5:00pm in the afternoon, a time when he draws more than all of his competitors on cable news combined AND has created a viewership at that time that is larger than it ever was before he aired his program in the low veiwership hour. So yes, you can say Glen Beck’s viewership is dropping, if you ignore the tens of thousands who watch his show replayed on the internet or on his website and also if you forget that many of his loyal viewers could be now in many cases give the lecture part of the shows themselves. The public has learned so much from the process of the last two years, much of it being guided by Beck’s creative ability to question current events and put them in the real context of history they deserve that many are able now to do it themselves. Yes, I would call the Radio Clown from a small town in Washington state an intellectual and an historian, much like I would call George Washington who also never attended college a great man.
I can attest Beck’s June 1st show is must see if you have even a inkling of concern about the hatred of Jews, more specifically toward Israeli Jews, and the 2,000+ year history of the irrational, historical hatred expressed toward Jews. It literally is mind boggling. It’s not pretty, and frankly I came away embarrassed that my own ancestors may have taken part in this evil. Much of the history I did not know.
There is no denying Beck’s show makes for powerful TV. Too bad most people, even on FOX, are more interested in being entertained instead of being educated.
I watched Jew-Hatred first hand in Teamster Local 705 in Chicago for years, and allowed to continue by the Italins et. al. notwithstanding that the Local Union’s own attorney was a corrupt Jew,[laughing at the belittled Jewish twin brothers] and died a corrupt Jew. One thing is certain, he can no longer lie,cheat and/or steal or aid in Jew Bashing anymore. Good Riddens!
‘How sad that so many supporting the cause of terror and radical Islam are themselves Jews, who betray their faith and the heritage of their fathers and mothers’
Throughout Jewish history we were and are our worst enemies. Just because they were born from a Jewish mother, doesn’t mean they are Jewish.
What Beck is doing is proving that you can lead your country from OUTSIDE the political machine. Beck’s rally in Israel will do more for that country than anything Hillary Clinton can or would do. Think about it. Sarah Palin is doing the same thing with her bus tour. She is using her position and power to lead the country back to our founding principles. The MSM and even her fans are too emotionally invested in her to see this, but I do. MLK understood this in the Civil Rights movement. I lived through those days and King was as big a figure to us as the POTUS. No lie.
By hammering away at the truth, Beck will get people in our government to support Israel because “We the People” will rise up and demand it.
The new Lincoln Brigade? Guess it would be too much to hope that they actually walk the talk and go live with Hamas permanently? Will we see Hanoi Jane type propaganda pics of them modelling their own TATP vests?
Sorry, unlike Mr. Radosh and Glenn Beck, I cannot give Senator Schumer much, if any credit. This anti-Semite (this disciple of Jeremiah Wright) is Schumer’s president. It took much criticism of Schumer from Jewish groups before he came out and criticized his president for Obama’s disreputable treatment of Israel’s prime minister, his immoral demand Israel impose a building freeze on Jewish homes (only because they are Jews), etc. Obama is the leader of Schumer’s party. Like Rep. Anthony Weiner, Schumer is an Obama supporter. Obama is the most anti-Israel / pro-Islam president to reside in the White House to date (bar none) and Schumer supports him.
I can’t praise Glenn Beck highly enough. He’s sticking his neck out for Jews and Israel, night after night. He’s urging people who might be indifferent to the dangers facing Jews to understand why it’s not only moral to help protect Jews from another genocide, but also that an international onslaught against Jews will ultimately endanger everyone in the West, as it will greatly strengthen some very dark, evil forces.
The only quibble I have with Beck is that he dismissed Geert Wilders as a far-right radical several months ago. Perhaps he didn’t realize that Wilders has much in common with Beck: both are champions of Western freedom, Judeo-Christian morality, and Israel at a time when all are under attack. Both of them bravely denounce the virulent hatred and horrific crimes of Islamic fundamentalists. Lately, Sean Hannity has been making a great contribution in this regard as well.
Sarah Palin, wearing her very conspicuous Star of David necklace in front of the cameras, is another fearless, heroic voice. So is Pat Condell, interestingly, even though he’s an atheist and a critic of monotheistic religions. What people like this have in common is a shared realization that Jews are being unfairly singled out and demonized, that Islam is a growing threat, and that this has dire consequences not only for Jews but for the Western freedoms all these heroes champion in their own different ways.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Geert Wilders needs to be on Beck’s show before it ends (on June 30, they said tonite). Wilders is a great man. instead of being on trial he should be given a medal.
Glenn Beck is a Righteous Gentile and a great friend of Israel. it saddens me when people who should know better (the entire staff of commentary magazine, the ADL, and others) don’t give him the respect he deserves.
I think there is much envy at the ability of Beck to draw the courage to say what many are fearful of expressing. (What will the neighbours think?)
In Thursday’s program Beck, when asked how he can align himself with those he has disagreements about other matters, replied that this not about him but about the truth.
Those who mock him and tarnish his image are more concerned with their own images than trying to make the world a better place.
Beck is not a righteous gentile–he’s a Mormon. We Mormons believe we are also of the House of Israel, mostly Ephraim. So while you’re under no obligation to believe it, that’s how we reckon ourselves and therefore Beck’s concern for and defense of our cousins from Judah, Benjamin and Levi (aka ‘the Jews’) is entirely understandable, if no less laudable.
That’s very interesting. I never knew that about Mormons. As someone of Jewish extraction, my vote would be to welcome anyone as a cousin or a friend if that’s what he truly believes himself to be.
That’s a great idea. I’d love it if Beck would make amends with Wilders and have him on his show. In fact, he should have one great big panel featuring leading voices in the anti-sharia/pro-Israel crowd like Wilders, Sarah Palin, Allen West, Wafa Sultan, Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Mark Steyn, Brigitte Gabriel and others.
Of course, security would be a nightmare.
But Steve, no matter how it is pointed out the evil of this admin the Jews will still give their millions to have him sit in the white house again. I hope Glenn gets to the Jews and the independents, because he will never convince the dems, they are becoming so anti, and it’s getting scary. We have allowed the libs to take over the schools and look what is happening. If I were Jewish, I would be so frightened for my family and especially for my children.
Glenn is my hero!
Wonderful program today.
I remember right about the time Glen Beck started on Fox, Roger Simon said he thought Beck was a bit off. That their was something slightly crazy about him. But I guess he’s OK with him now.
oh i think the time of petty stuff is over(shark attacks right before 9/11). you either stand with the judeo-christian world or you are the enemy. asks the copts in egypt?
I think Roger Simon should come out with a full endorsement of Beck.
My grandparents in Denmark were hiding Jews in their addict during WW2. I’m pretty sure those people, they hid, knew who their true friends were. I think it’s time for people like Roger Simon to face up to that reality now. Not next week and not tomorrow, but right now.
My mother have told me, how she was stopped with her father during WW2 and lined up against a wall by German Wehrmacht soldiers toting machine guns and asking for “papers please”. And how it was absolutely terrifying. My grand parents gained absolutely nothing personally from doing this. Still they did it and risked their lives as the most natural thing in the world, no questions asked. They never bragged about it and they didn’t win any medals or got any kind of recognition for it.
I would like Roger Simon to endorse Beck as the most natural thing in the world, no questions asked. Not dithering, analyzing or “I’ve got this feeling” comments attached.
Your grandparents were among the great heroes of WW2. I’ve always reminded people who unfairly criticize ALL Europeans for their conduct during the war that the Danes were the great exception. The brave, heroic Danes refused to hand over their Jews to the Germans. Jews should be reminded of this often and never forget what the Danes did, and how they shamed their fellow Europeans. I believe the Danish leader at the time was named King Christian, which makes the story even more notable.
There must be someone you could notify of what your grandparents did, if you wish. Yesterday Beck interviewed a man who compiled several volumes of books recognizing the “Righteous Gentiles”. Your grandparents merit recognition for what they did, even though they didn’t seek it.
I fully agree that Beck should be endorsed without reservation, but by EVERY publisher or media mogul who recognizes the growing danger to Jews and Israel. It’s easy to discern who’s a true friend, and it has NOTHING to do with one’s religion or ethnic heritage. Beck is a Christian of German descent, and yet an audience full of elderly Jewish Holocaust survivors gathered around him yesterday, full of gratitude and appreciation, seeing past any superficial differences, and recognizing a true friend, even a savior of sorts.
I for one will be very sorry to see Beck go. I hope his voice and his message continue to be heard loud and clear, somehow, somewhere.
Re: “Your grandparents were among the great heroes of WW2. I’ve always reminded people who unfairly criticize ALL Europeans for their conduct during the war that the Danes were the great exception. The brave, heroic Danes refused to hand over their Jews to the Germans.” Sir Martin Gilbert did a mangnificent book some years ago called, I believe, “The Righteous,” concerning those who had tried to save the Jews of Europe from the Holocaust. My mother and several of our family’s oldest friends are native Danes who survived the Nazi occupation, and came to America after the war. My mother’s family hid Jews and others on the run from the Nazis in a well on their farm, until they could be smuggled aboard a fishing boat for passage to Sweden. My mom’s brothers were members of the underground, and committed acts of sabotage against railways and other targets, and ran an illegal printing press. One of my mother’s favorite teachers was taken by the SS-Gestapo and died in a concentration camp after his arrest. Five years ago, an elderly Danish-American friend of mine and his wife described in over thirty hours of interviews, their life under the Nazi jackboot, 1940-1945, including his service as a sharpshooter in the underground army in the closing days of the war. They had remained silent all of the years since the war, because they felt no one could understand their experiences. Luckily, I convinced them to share them with me for posterity. For those interested, a superb book about the Danish resistance is called “The Sixth Floor,” by Robin Reilly (non-fiction), concerning the famous raid on Shell House in 1945 by the RAF. Two fictional books capture the flavor of that time very well, according to my mom and her friend, also a Danish WWII survivor: Ken Follett’s “Hornet Flight,” and “Leeway Cottage” by Beth Gutcheon. My mom said “Hornet Flight” was so real to her that it made her skin crawl and gave her nightmares.
I watch Glenn Beck regularly and am sorry that he will be going from FOX TV. He is an honest man, and I applaud his support of Israel and of Jews.
For years I’ve pondered the mystery of how the anti-Semitic left can count on 75% of the jewish vote. Now I believe the REAL mystery is why Beck and other conservatives care at all what happens to jews and israel.
Liberal Fascism. The pinklets shriek and cringe at the term like vampires caught in the rising sun. But it can no longer be denied. Leftists International love Radical Islam and despise the democratic leaders of the Free World and the Mid-East: the U.S.A. & Israel, respectively. It makes no sense, it bears no honest historical inspection, but there you have it. The lesson of the European Holocaust has not been lost. It was never absorbed in the first place. “Never again,” the tourist signposts read, but that was Then: the immediate post-war aftermath. And here we are now, declaring Jews to be racists, and terrorists, and baby-blood-sucking-fiends-from-hell. Honestly, that is what the Arab U.N. conventions declare, and what the Leftist nations of the West demure in. It’s like a bad dream. This can’t possibly be happening again. And yet, it is. The Leftists of the EU, the UN, and the United States of America (with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the helm) — together with their allies in Russia and China — want the Jews to once again file quietly into the crematoria. … Well, I say THIS TIME it is not going to happen. Today we have the internet, and Talk Radio, and alternative media. No more lies. No more pogroms. Not on our watch.
Right on Frank. You are dead on about this. Will the rest of the western world choose to wake up to what is happening around them? As the CBN has recently reported, more and more mosques are being built in the heart of Europe then ever before. Now you know why many of these government officials in Europe don’t dare speak out against any muslim group. They are literally afraid for their own lives. They have only themselves to blame since they allowed this to happen to themselves. The only one who can save Europe is God almighty himself. Now try building a Synagogue or Church in Saudi Arabia, or Iran for example and see how the government responds to this. It is these people who call themselves muslims who are racists.
In English we use the term Philistine to mean a lowbrow, uncultivated, boorish ignorant, barbarian.
That pronunciation is also Arabic for Palestinian.
We’ve lost touch with our roots.
Today being a freedom fighting, lover of justice, innovation and change who just by an amazing coincidence is never in actual possession of those things is code for what we used to call a stubborn moron.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being a Filistine. Nice beards and all that.
Not the same thing at all. The Philistines were an actual coastal people. The Palestinian never existed – except for the Jews who remained when the Romans renamed them and exiled them.
Name a palistinian before the Egyptian Arafat. The lanuguage or currency. The arabs don’t even have the letter “P” in their language. Which is why it’s a hoot to hear them say, “Balistinians only want Beace.”
It’s important to keep in mind that the Jews really are the canary in coal mine. What muslims wants to do to them, they will eventually do to other non-muslims and, eventually, to one another after non-muslims have either been successfully slaughtered or enslaved. islam is a mental disease. It may not be curable and will consistently encourage murder, humiliation, and a permanent dark age. Remember that this is a totalitarian system founded by a demented serial pedophile and genocidal sociopath.
I think it would be great if a freak storm blew up and the good ship audacity of hope were sank with all hands and nary a trace were ever found,
“As an autodidact, one of his problems is teaching as he learns something, and speaking out on a subject before he fully knows different interpretations and before he has had a chance to evaluate a subject thoroughly.”
Glenn does say “do your own research, don’t take my word for it.” And while he’s no academic, given the sorry state of American (really, Western) academia, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sure he’s got flaws, but we all do. It’s called being human. What he gets wrong is minor compared to what he gets right. Sorry to see his show go.
too bad you didn’t actually watch the show or listen to it-or maybe you just didn’t get it—-> he was making a PARODY- yes acting out the sickness of NAZISM to make FUN OF IT- to show that today’s so called progressives share the same ideals as those old timey fascists.
I am sad to see so much smear of Glenn- yes heis passionate and theatrical- but he has to be to get people to pay attention- I am thankful for his efforts to EDUCATE the masses about history- the real version not the revisonist swill sold by the MSM and the LEFT
Beck recently said that his epiphany came after 9/11. He said that’s when he started delving into Middle Eastern history and politics and, as a result, became more supportive of Israel and more opposed to Islam. Therefore, any comments he made since then which seem inconsistent with that stance were probably made in jest.
I like listening to Beck about 60% of the time; lately he’s been on a roll defending Israel, which of course none of the other major networks will do. Listening to Beck when he gets overwrought, which he has been about the Jewish deal, is nauseating to me — and causes me to turn him off. I agree with what he is saying, but I can’t stand his meltdowns. I saw him the other nite crying about it. This is obviously impassioned attitude is not what I am interesting in seeing, if I am attempting to see the truth and new facts about an issue. Beck also is totally grounded in his belief in god, and everyting he thinks is premised on this belief, which causes me to take him less seriously. I don’t believe in god, and find it difficult to swallow arguments about important issues that rely on faith in a being who can’t be proven.
People care about Glen Beck?
You might enjoy Glenn’s show (The Revolutionary Holocaust) from last January as it was specifically about the Holocaust and millions murdered by other tyrants as well. Glenn has always been on the side of the Jewish people.

You may want to check this out.
As you may have heard by now, San Francisco will be voting this November on whether or not to ban circumcision in the city.
Defenders of the measure say it’s all about “human rights” and “protecting babies” from unnecessary procedures.
But critics suspected there was something vaguely anti-Semitic about the whole proposal, since among Jews (and Muslims, as well) circumcising male babies is a religious duty, not just a mistaken medical procedure.
Ban proponents insisted their proposal had nothing to do with Jews — really, it’s all about the rights of children.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/proof-that-s-f-s-circumcision-ban-is-anti-semitic/
What an utterly untenable, unbelievable proposal in this day and age, and a particularly ironic one coming from San Fransisco. It’s common knowledge (apparently everywhere but there) that uncircumcised males are at increased risk for STD’s, and of course transmitting them. I guess it’s just another IQ test failed by liberal geniuses, like the one they flubbed en masse some months back involving figures of speech.
Give a little credit of this mess to the Frankfurt School and Critical theory.
google these and have fun for the rest of your life.

The Israelis can stand up for themselves. They have done so, and they intend to continue. (Most of them, anyway.) They don’t want anyone fighting their fight for them, though they would welcome a bit more understanding regarding what they’re up against—the true intentions of their “Partners in Peace.”
And Glenn Beck’s attempt to shine some light in that darkest of dark regions (from the point of view of Truth) is encouraging. And welcome. And gratifying. And unfortunately necessary, given the sheer volume of lies and misrepresentation that has been aimed—that is being aimed—in Israel’s direction.
But as I said, the Israelis can take care of themselves.
What about the other minorities in the area? The Copts, the Kurds, the Bahai, the Nestorians, the Assyrians, practically all Christians in Moslem countries, The Berbers in North Africa. The Sunni Moslems in Shi’ite countries. The Shi’ite Moslems in Sunni countries. The Isma’ili Moslems in practically all Moslem countries. The African slaves in Moslem countries. Women in Moslem countries.
They have absolutely no one in their corner. Time, too, to stand up for them.
(To be sure, the Forces of Darkness would like you to ignore their plight, since it’s in the interest of the Forces of Darkness to insist that Israel is the ONLY cause of—the ONLY reason for—the absence of peace in the region.)
