Leading Liberal Blogger: Kiss Israel's *** or Lose the Nomination

Wonkette is acknowledged as a leading American liberal blogger. This is what she has to say about John Edwards' statement (which he now denies) that "Israel is the greatest threat to world peace," referring to the possibility that it may attack Iran's nuclear program. Edwards now denies the anti-Israel sentiment, which is generally shared throughout the political Left. The reporter stands by the quote.

What happened? According to Bart, Edwards was asked to name the greatest threat to world peace at the moment. Instead of the simple answer, wars, Edwards had to be a smarty jones and say the increasing likelihood of an Israeli attack on Iran was the primary current threat. You know, because then Washington would start bombing somebody, and Syria/Lebanon would get involved, and Russia would start threatening everybody, and it would be a nuclear war, etc.

But stating anything so obvious requires taking your lips off Israel?s ass for a few seconds, and that?s fatal for any American politician with presidential ambitions. This isn?t because Jews get upset or Israel?s feelings will get hurt or anything. It?s because of bat?? insane evangelical American Jesus Freaks who have to love and protect Israel so Jesus will come back and destroy it.

doesnt look anti-Israel to me. Seems to be an observation of real world events.

"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the Lord of hosts their God. In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem. The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah. In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. *And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem*."

Zechariah 12:2-9

Hmmm, speaking as both a Christian supporter of Israel, and one who believes the Bible is the Word of God, I think you & Wonkette, have strong opinions based on little more than your imaginations.
