Cohen: Stop blaming Israel

Thee loudest drum-beater for Israel and "Israel rules" in the American MSM, Richard Cohen cries a river about all the people allegedly picking on Israel. He adds a claim that Israel apparently needs to continue to occupy the West Bank to keep Qassam rockets from being launched there.

Uhh, lemme see, Rich. That argument worked really well in Lebanon a couple of years ago. Yes, you say Hezbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah says it was a mistake to bait Israel. Doesn't change the fact that the Israeli offensive didn't work quite so well.

Cohen then goes on to accuse the 750,000 or so Israeli Jews in the U.S. of giving up on Israel.

Hey, Rich, did you ever thing that maybe, instead, they just gave up on your idea of Israel?
