Zbigniew Brzezinski: Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

Israel is isolating itself. Israel is putting itself in jeopardy. Israel is following exactly the wrong path. So say such assorted "friends" of Israel as Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Soros and J Street. (But, I repeat myself. Soros is J Street.)

But what do our lying eyes tell us as we look around in the midst of this Spring Time for the Arab nations?

Turkey: They repress 20% of their population; namely, the Kurds. And, in pursuit of their indigenous Kurds, they bomb Iraq territory.

Syria: World leaders watch and voice their intimidating "tsk, tsk, tsks" as Assad slaughters non-violent protesters in numbers that now exceed well over a thousand.

Jordan: "Jordan will not become Palestine," proclaims the Hashmenite King as the Palestinian population grows to over 60%.

Libya: So far no anti-Zionism there. Indeed, a group who helped overthrow Qadaffi invited a Jew, formerly of Libya, to return and help them direct their new democracy.

Egypt: The contest between the Egyptian army and the Muslim Brotherhood has still not been resolved.

Iraq: Totally preoccupied with its own problems, which include the struggle for power between the Shiites, the Sunnis, and the Kurds, not to mention the interference of the Iranians.

Saudi Arabia: They would love to have the Israelis drop a bomb on Iran, but only whisper this thought to its close friends, never daring to speak their mind in public. Do they still deny their women the right to drive a car? Do they still abuse their hired help from Bangladesh, the Philippines and elsewhere?

Iran: What is there to say about this country run by pin-headed mullahs? Do they wish to annihilate Israel? Is the Pope Catholic?

Is Israel isolated? As the only decent, rational, and democratic country in the region, you can bet your bottom dollar it is.
