    Lefty intellectuals strike me as sinister and untrustworthy

    Far Lefties like Greenwald and Kamiya are always so very predictable. When it suits their lefty worldview, they ignore the fact that all governments have the responsibility to provide basic defense of its citizens. According to their view, Israel should just sit back and take it "up the arse" and hope that Hamas and Hezbollah come to their senses, meet in Geneva and solve the Israeli-Palestinian question, once and for all (time). Not in my lifetime nor in your lifetime is this going to happen.

    I have a deep distrust for writers like these guys because what they want is for good people to do nothing while evil triumphs all around them. My only conclusion is that Kamiya and Greenwald must be purveyors of evil as well. Why else would they be so intent on aiding and abetting killers like Hamas and Hezbollah?

    Where am I wrong?
