Is Javier Solona An Idiot?
Unless we're talking about bloggers that we write to and like, we generally try to avoid public ad homs on this blog. But seriously, does this guy have an extra chromosome or something:
Hamas wants to "liberate the Palestinians," not to destroy Israel, Javier Solana, the European Union's foreign policy chief, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday... Pressed as to whether he was underestimating the fundamentalist religious imperative at the heart of the Hamas ideology, Solana said, "I cannot imagine that the religious imperative, the real religious imperative, can make anybody destroy another country... Therefore that is an abuse of religion..."
OK. So Hamas has a "fake" religious imperative to destroy Israel that they - and several million of their closest friends - seem to think is "real". Can someone please explain to us how that changes things even one iota? What does that even mean? Is Javier Solona now more of an expert on the intricacies of Islam than the Hamas sheiks who've, you know, read the Koran and the hadith? How does a human being of even average intelligence allow himself to say thinks like that? What an idiot.
Solana, who said he saw himself as "a good friend of Israel," also said that he was concerned that, given the various demographic, security and other considerations, "some of the positions of some leaders of Israel may not be the best recipes to guarantee the security of Israel." He said, for instance, "I never thought the construction of the security wall was a good idea."
Yeah, no kidding.
