Giuliani's proposal for endless Middle East wars on behalf of Israel
In a rational world, Giuliani's call for Israel to join NATO would provoke major controversy rather than deafening silence.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-09-21]

  • Is Israel a European country?

    That is the core question. The notion that Israel is a European colony within the middle east has been the founding principle of those opposed to the existence of Israel since 1948. The notion that Israel as not a colony but an experiment in hope - that a multi-ethnic country of Jews and Arabs could exist in the middle east - will be dead if Israel joins NATO because the issue goes back to colonialism: is it right or wrong for there to be a European colony in the middle east? Middle Easterners (and anti-colonialists everywhere) will always answer that question in the negative.
