Haaretz editor begs for Israel to be raped



On the eve of the Bush-Rice visit to Israel the editor-in-chief of Haaretz has admitted to telling US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Israel "wants to be raped" into a settlement.

The totally inappropiate remark was made at a dinner at the home of US Ambassador Richard Jones, where Rice met with an assemblage of Israels famous, self-appointed "elites." According to The Jewish Week, Ha'aretz's David Landau implored Rice to intervene, asserting that the Israeli government wanted 'to be raped.' He later added that the opportunity to tell her this was for him a 'wet dream come true'.

Unfortunately, as Caroline Glick has observed in The Jerusalem Post, the rape of Israel is in fact happening, egged on by the likes of Landau and the current corrupt leadership of the state of Israel. (An interesting blog comment can be seen here.)

With his totally inappropriate and unacceptable metaphor, Landau essentially admitted that the majority of citizens in Israel will never agree to concessions and withdrawals of the kind he fantasizes about. He is therefore desperate for the United States to impose them by force.

In other words, he is not saying "rape me", but rather "rape them".
