Even A Senator Can Err

Well, a former Senator.

James Abourezk, former U.S. Senator from South Dakota and author of a memoir, Advise & Dissent: Memoirs of South Dakota and the U.S. Senate, has writtne of meeting Menachem Begin and in touching on Deir Yassin, writes

...In April of 1948, Mr. Begin and his terrorist thugs joined with another vicious terrorist group called the Stern Gang, massacring some 107 villagers in Deir Yasin...Several of the villagers were taken prisoner and were most likely killed, but only after they were paraded through the streets of Jerusalem in an action designed to create enough fear among the Palestinians to cause them to leave Palestine.

Two quick comments:

a) notice how the number, 107, is much different from what Arab propagandists used to push and some still do. But at least the figure is dropping.

b) there was no real "parade" and most certainly those driven in open lorries, all the Irgun possessed at the time, were not returned to the village and killed. In fact, there is a film about one of them who was in a group of children driven to the Damascus Gate and there left.

As you obviously are concerned about certain U.S. senators, may I please enlighten you as to some of my concerns? As I have written previously and will reiturate. 1/2 brain McCain, Laughing Joe L., and Linsey Damned are in my opinion the 3 frogs of Revelation 16:13. Although inadvertent little froggys, they are very very dangerous to the State of Israel. Lindsay is a cafeteria Christian, he always picks and chooses from his religion what will benefit him most politically. I think he is now concerned about what Jesus is going to do with him at the Bema Seat judgement. His treatment of Israel is deceptive at best. I feel McCain has a gold chain around his neck thats in the hands of some sheik somewhere. As they crank the organ, monkey McCain takes his cup before congress and begs for money. Its always for some ultruistic military purpose which ultimatly benefits the muslim brotherhood and their war agains Israel. Laughing Joe should have a serious talk with Dershowitz about Ez 20:34-35. The only message I have for Joe is as of this moment God says " you are toast." God is finished with you! A sacrificial offering would be greatly appreciated...it could possibly save your soul. I cannot be more specific God said you will understand.

Gods take on McCain? He is mentally challenged, not in complete control of his faculties, and one brick shy of a full load? God I am pleading as a defense for his mentally confused conditioned, that you understand, he suffers from these conditions after his stay at the Hanoi hilton. It was then he became Stockholm John. Friendly as a spotted pup. He loves everyone, Karzai, Ahmadinejad, the muslim brotherhood, Islamic Jihadists..and if you would allow him to bomb Syria into the stone age he would then be offering them schools and all the weapons they would need to rebuild and attack Israel. John is a friendly menace easily controlled by the phantom menaces of the world because he wants to be everyones friend. God I'm speaking to you from my heart, how can anyone not love Stockhom John? I personally think God is going to put John out to pasture on Judgement day. No, I mean really out to pasture. If God would put him out to pasture as a holstein cow he could be friends with everyone, and as he ran up to them he could give them milk, rather than weapons.

Heads up! Last and final warning!! The phantom menace will use the monkey along with the Syrian/Iranian conflict to put in place those forces for the finale take down of Israel. They do not intend to error. They intend to finish what Hitler failed to clean up. So stop worrying about being politically correct. Stop attempting to appease the international community and prepare to fight for your very existance.
