Stephen Walt’s Appalling Response to the Fogel Family Massacre

The despicable Stephen Walt makes a show of condemning the horrific massacre of the Fogel family as a prelude to a screed against Israel, “settlers” and their supporters? Walt and his equally despicable peers in academia along with the media and various artists and entertainers have the blood of the Fogel family on their hands due to the vicious hatred, demonization and lies they have hurled against Israel, especially the “settlers”. The quartet should also be held accountable for funding the PA and hamas while pressuring Israel to surrender territory, remove “settlements” and remove the checkpoints which were put in place to keep the jihadist cutthroats out. Most appalling and unforgivable of all is the Israeli leadership over the last 18 years since Oslo. They forgot that their priority was supposed to be the protection of their people, not pleasing the international community which in any case was never satisfied with the concessions Israel made. With every concession their only response was to demand more Israeli surrender. Instead of being man enough to resist pressure from Obama, Hillary, Merkel, Sarkozy and Cameron to remove checkpoints, Bibi and Barak obediently obliged and Bibi announced his support for a “palestinian” terror state. All of the above have enabled and given legitimacy to the modern day nazis who seek another genocide against the Jewish people.

Stephen Walt’s disgusting moral equivalence on Itamar


The sickness of the Left:

To say that I am appalled by the brutal murder of an Israeli family in the West Bank settlement of Itamar (near Nablus) is an understatement.

OK, he is appalled. Why?

Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is universally recognized as a violation of international law and depends on force, intimidation, and violence, but there is no justification for anyone to take the lives of an entire family in this way. No good can possibly come from such a senseless act — not for Palestinians, not for Israelis, and not for anyone else — and it should be universally condemned.

To Walt, the self-styled realist, the massacre of the Fogels is simply a counterproductive method of protest. He cannot bring himself to say that the murders are immoral, or sickening, or reflective of constant Palestinian Arab incitement to hate and murder. He cannot be bothered to mention the names of the victims. He cannot even make a passing mention of a baby girl whose throat was slashed in her crib.

And Walt cannot stop himself from implying that the settlers deserved it for somehow being “illegal” before he even pretends to condemn their murder, which, he implied, might have been justified if they were killed in a less brutal manner. Like maybe a suicide bombing that was a little less personal.

Now that Walt got his perfunctory “condemnation” out of the way, he can get to what he really wants to condemn, and what he cynically uses the Itamar massacre to hang his own sick hate on:
