Wolf Blitzer - You call yourself a Jew?

A Open Letter To Wolf Blitzer, CNN

You call yourself a Jew?

You should be ashamed of yourself. The Son of Holocaust survivors, you turn your back on your people, your religion, and your heritage. With you, it's all about saying the politically correct. No matter that you give a moral equalivance between terrorists and the courageous soldiers of Israel. It is not material that you are giving aid and comfort not only to the enemies of Israel but the United States as well.

You banter about with the latest "buzz word" to come out of Hizbollah's aggression: "disproportionate response”. Was carpet bombing Berlin a "disproportionate response? How about the dropping of nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, clearly the Japanese ability to wage war had been destroyed; wouldn't you call that a "disproportionate response"? If we had not acted in such a manner, what would have been the outcome??? Surely not the unnecessary loss of "American" lives?

So Heir Blitzer, let me understand, when Israel responds to the murder of it's citizens by rocket fire, or, the blowing up a of bus crowded with school children, or a Arab murderer detonating his homicide bomb during a Passover Seder, or how about blowing up a pizza parlor full of Israeli youth, or blowing up a restaurant, or night club, a busy bus station, a crowded market place, a train, etc., ad nauseum ( I know you are bored and giving this message your "ho hum" attitude) by targeting those responsible, you equate Israel with Arab Terrorists?? How dare you Heir Blitzer.

The really, really sad fact Heir Blitzer, is that you know that Israel is doing the only thing it can do to survive as a Democratic grain of sand surrounded by an Islamo-Nazi desert. It is sadder yet, that a son of a Holocaust survivor is working to bring about the destruction of Israel, a place where your parents would have gladly given their lives for (and did).

Personal guilt and taking responsibility for your actions are not part of your psychological makeup. I watched you cover the first U.S. vs. Iraq war. You haven’t changed much - you were anti-American and anti-Israel then and you are more so today.

Of course, your ego is much bigger now. You Heir Blitzer want to be another “Walter Cronkite”. Let me be the first to tell you that you have made the grade. Cronkite, with his left wing bleeding heart liberalism did more to sabotage the Vietnam War effort and the morale of our troops than Jane Fonda did in her wildest dreams. Cronkite himself was largely responsible for our defeat in Vietnam and the abandonment of an entire country that only wanted freedom and democracy.

You and others of your ilk cannot call yourselves loyal Americans any more than you can call yourself a Jew. You are a disgrace and by your actions, an abomination before G_d, and a virtual hillul Hashem.

"Whoever lives in the Land of Israel is fulfilling the will of G-d and is called a tzaddik (righteous), and G-d loves him… and it is superfluous to note that anyone who speaks ill of the land or of its inhabitants is like the Meraglim (the Biblical Spies who grievously sinned)."

May He who blessed our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, bless the soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces, who stand watch over our land and the cities of our Lord, from the Lebanese border to the desert of Egypt and from the great sea to the verge of the wilderness, on land, in the air, and at sea. May G-d strike down before them our enemies who rise against us. May the Holy One save and spare our soldiers from all forms of woe and distress, of affliction and illness, and may He invest their every action with blessing and success. May He vanquish by their means those who hate us, and may He adorn them with a crown of deliverance and a mantle of victory. Thus may the verse be fulfilled: "For it is the Lord your G-d who marches with you to do battle for you against your enemy, to bring you victory." Now let us respond "Amen."

Oh, one last thing Heir Blitzer…think about your coming judgment.
