“Our Friends the Palestinians”Mike Rappaport

Glenn Reynolds puts the point clearly:

“ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I’ve suggested that the United States shouldnot be trying to serve as an “honest broker” for a peace between theIsraelis and the Palestinians on the grounds that the Palestinians areour enemies, and thus we can’t and shouldn’t be neutral about them.”

Given the Palestinian happiness over 9/11 and their support for Saddam (at least during the first war), this is hardly a surprise.  Yet, most people don’t think of it this way, even people who see the Palestinians for what they are.

Of course, Jim Baker seems to know that the Palestinians are our enemies.  He favors giving things to all of our enemies: Syria, Iran and the Palestinians.  The other strong supporters of the Palestinians in the US — the Left — also seem to know this.  They typically support our enemies.
