We caught a few minutes of the pathetic "anti-war" rally in Washington D.C. on C-SPAN last evening. Amidst the usual calls for and end to U.S. imperialism in the Phillipines and an increase in AIDS funding one would expect at a rally against the liberation of Iraq, one speaker in particular caught our attention. Musa Al-Hindi of some group called the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, yammered on for several minutes with the usual anti-Israel diatribe. Then he ended his little speech with the slogan "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea." That obviously means from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, in other words, he's calling for the elimination of Israel.
Let's be clear here. Since it's highly unlikely, to say the least, that all the Jews in Israel will pack up and go somewhere else voluntarily, this is a straighforward call for genocide of the Jews of Israel. Sound familiar? Further, the crowd of peaceniks didn't shout down this call for genocide, they boisterously cheered for it. More evidence these folks aren't anti-war, they're anti-America.
More from Michelle Malkin and Outside the Beltway.

Perhaps the cause of such thoughtless is not because they're anti-america but because they are americans. Thus, their propensity to be caught up 'in the moment' as a deer in the headlights of a vehicle. Similar conceptual and general intellectual deficiencies are required to commit themselves to causes which require decades to clear up, i.e. the 'war on terror'. The desire for immediate gratification is not without its consequences. Thus, every event, to the near-sighted american 'mind', is seen as a phenomenon in itself with little relation to the past, unless it serves their present interests. In other words, the intellectual deficiency that promotes one's desire for immediate gratification will also empower them to fail to link its consequences to the cause. Interesting isn't it.
